Sep 13, 2024, 12:08 PM
The Central Government has decided to rename Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, to 'Sri Vijaya Puram.' Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced on Friday that this decision was inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision to rid the nation of colonial imprints. The new name, 'Sri Vijaya Puram,' symbolizes the victory achieved in India's freedom struggle and highlights the unique role of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the country's history. The previous name, Port Blair, had colonial origins, being named after British Navy Officer Lieutenant Archibald Blair. The Home Ministry emphasized that this change aligns with the resolve to remove symbols of slavery.
