The government's move to amend constitution was praised by all sides including former chief minister and leader of opposition J B Patnaik.

It should be done soon, Patnaik said while noted novelist Santanu Acharya complimented everybody associated with the move to change name of the state. All rights reserved. It could just be another political drama in India. With growth and development of India overall , I feel it is time to recognise the way we are not by a name or mispronounciation given by somebody else.

After independent of India whatever Britishers had set the names of different states, we all Indian pronouns them in the same way. Moreover , Orissa ,it is the pronunciation made by English people. I thank the author for this well crafted article. It cites the irregularities in the new naming with respect to the history. It also underlines the political agenda behind it.

As for me I myself am not a supporter of renaming well known places. It always adds to the confusion. It is just common sense to understand that. I do respect the sentiment of the locals. If they prefer it so, they should have it. This is pointless. The effort the nation of India puts to rename a state could be put to something which is much more useful. Clothes , the education system, the judiciary which i might add has not changed to the modern age?.

The name change is an absolute waste of time. It does not change anything but if people wish the change, so be it, it is their right. Who said democracy comes cheap? But it definitely begs the question. In a state which is amongst the most backward in the country, would you use resources to alleviate the problems of the poor or spend time, effort and energy in something as mundane as this.

If you want to progress would you look to the future or the past? Reading this article one can easily say that you have no idea about odisha culture. You are limited to your collected information. First get the proper knowledge, then go on writing. I fully agree, with the author of this article. Practical and realistic problems need our heed not such unrealistic issues connected with a whole lot of resource wastage!

Thumbs up to the Author. In India we have right to pronounce or change our names which has a meaningful and hold the traditional, Literature and cultural values. Ancient economy of Odisha was far developed than the other states.

Nothing to worry about these writings of Author. We will get back our status and the things that we have lost. We have cleared one step and have to go far away. Just ignore the useless things. I really respect the thoughts of everybody. However we can not continue the mistakes that has been carried on for a long time. Ajit Doval. Ashok Gehlot.
