A political controversy is brewing in Maharashtra over the government’s proposal to rename Islampur in Sangli to Ishwarpur. The opposition has strongly criticised the move, arguing it is a diversion from real issues and that the government is failing to provide development. An opposition figure stated, “Today, people are interested in basic facilities.” This sentiment reflects the view that the focus should be on infrastructure, sanitation, and public services rather than on what they term as superficial changes. Supporters of the proposal, however, including union ministers, have welcomed it as a necessary step for a “cultural renaissance.” They argue it is about restoring a Hindu identity and correcting historical changes, with one proponent asking, “This is not Pakistan, is it, to keep the name Islampur?”
