Changing Orissa

But the thing that takes the cake is Naveen Patnaik’s great effort to change his state’s name to Odisha from Orissa and the name of the language to Odiya from Oriya. Now is this profound or what? Here you have a state which is the poorest in the nation, where people routinely die of starvation, where women and children are sold in weekly markets and what do you give them? A spelling change.

Narendra is frustrated by the latest political doctrine, which seems to be “when you can’t do anything, increase the reservation and rename something”!
