The beautiful Mughal garden of Rashtrapati Bhavan will now be known as Amrit Udyan. The President of India, Smt Draupadi Murmu, took the bold step to mark the auspicious “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav”, commemorating 75 years of independence.
The move to rename Mughal Gardens as Amrit Udyan has made headlines and is likely to create another storm for the BJP-led central government. However, party leaders celebrated the president’s decision, calling it a necessary measure to break the colonial shackles of the past and stop glorifying the “invader.”
