Monarchy-Prefixes in Names of Roads – Parliament Street should be known only Sansad Marg

Bureau,Odishabarta

New Delhi:It is ridiculous that roads in Delhi are named after erstwhile monarchy rulers of Gwalior state with monarchy-prefixes of Rajmata and Shrimant before Vijayaraje Scindia and Madhavrao Scindia respectively. Pre-fix Shrimant was added much after the road was named originally as Madhavrao Scindia Marg. If roads named after Ashok, Prithviraj do not have popular pre-fix Samrat, it is senseless to add monarchy pre-fixes before names of roads named after Vijayaraje Scindia and Madhavrao Scindia. New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) must remove monarchy pre-fixes from roads named after Vijayaraje Scindia and Madhavrao Scindia. Even an important road connecting city-airport in Bhopal is simply known as Madhavrao Scindia Road without any monarchy pre-fix.

Since literature-rules do not allow popular nouns including names of roads to be translated, Sansad Marg the important road of New Delhi must no longer be known as Parliament Street.
