Maharashtra: Caste-based names of localities to be changed

马哈拉施特拉邦：更改根据种姓命名的地名

MUMBAI: The Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra on Wednesday decided to change all caste-based names of settlements, gaothans or slum pockets across the state. So names denoting castes such as Maharwada, Brahmanwada, Mali gulli and Mangwada will be scrapped and be replaced with names like Samata Nagar, Bhim Nagar and Kranti Nagar.

孟买：周三，马哈拉施特拉邦政府决定更改全邦所有根据种姓命名的定居点、gaothans或贫民窟的名称。因此，诸如Maharwada、Brahmanwada、Mali gulli和Mangwada等代表种姓的名称将被废弃，取而代之的是Samata Nagar、Bhim Nagar和Kranti Nagar。

The state cabinet on Wednesday approved the proposal in this regard moved by the social justice department.

周三，邦内阁批准了社会正义部提出的这一提议。

Minister for social justice Dhananjay Munde said that since caste-based names of residential settlements did not suit a progressive state like Maharashtra, “it has been decided to change the names in order to create social harmony and enhance the feeling of national unity.” The changes will be applicable not only in the state’s rural pockets but in slum pockets in Mumbai and other urban areas too, Munde said, adding that NCP chief Sharad Pawar had also expressed his displeasure over caste-based names.

社会正义部部长Dhananjay Munde说，根据种姓命名的居住区名称不适合马哈拉施特拉邦这样进步的邦，“为了创造社会和谐，增强民族团结感，决定更改名称。” Munde说，更改不仅适用于该邦的农村地区，也适用于孟买的贫民窟和其他城市地区。他还说，国大党领导沙拉德•帕瓦尔也表达了对基于种姓命名的不满。

The decision will be implemented by the urban development department in urban areas and by the rural development department in villages. A government resolution (GR) in this regard will be issued soon, an official said.

在城市地区，该决定将由城市发展部门实施，在农村，由农村发展部门实施。一名官员说，政府将很快发布有关此事的决议。

废除一切跟种姓有关的东西。包括预留制!

First Brahmin need to get married to lower caste to show Brahmin don't distinguish in order to scrap reservation

首先，让婆罗门和低种姓结婚，以示婆罗门不歧视，废除预留制

This is like pushing dust under the carpet. Remove caste based reservation in education and jobs, keep only economic based criteria. Then that is real change. Otherwise simply eye-wash.

这就像把灰尘扫到地毯下面。取消教育和工作方面的基于种姓的预留制，那才是真正的改变，否则只是做表面文章。
