'What is in a name' ... What is the point of such a quote from Shakespeare?

- Vividha-Bhaven Kutchi

- From now on, not Rajiv Gandhi, Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award

- You may not know that the name of the road near your house is Kavi Nhanalal.

On the same day that India's women's hockey team won the hearts of Indians for the fourth time in the Olympics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi named the late Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award, the highest award given to Indian players, as the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award.

Rajiv Gandhi passed away in 191 and from the same year the Khel Ratna Award was decided by the Ministry of Youth and Culture, Sports of the Congress government in 191-19. Even if the Congress understood then, even the opposition parties could not dare to challenge any decision dedicated to the Gandhi family. Moreover, when Rajiv Gandhi's decision was taken, the wave of sympathy for him had returned to the country as he had been assassinated a few months back.

If Rajiv Gandhi had been posthumously honored with the Bharat Ratna in 191, the naming of the Khel Ratna award as Rajiv Gandhi would have enhanced the prestige of the award. However, some former players and opposition leaders needed to figure out what to do with the game and Rajiv Gandhi. Then the young leaders of Rajiv Gandhi's kitchen cabinet of the Congress responded in such a way that Rajiv Gandhi has been an inspiration to the youth of the country. He was at the forefront of the organizing committee of the 19th Asian Games in Delhi.

The city of Delhi became an international city because of the Asian Games. It was Rajiv Gandhi who started broadcasting the games on Doordarshan and then Grand Slam tennis. However, the name of a great player should be associated with the sports award as any leader or ruler has a duty to uplift and uplift in all spheres of development of the country. , The government or the leader is ultimately carrying out development projects at the expense of the citizens. The Congress started the practice of immortalizing the names of political leaders like nowhere else in the world and also added the names of Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and the names of the country's properties.

Following the same tradition, when other parties came to power, they started associating the names of public roads, projects and buildings with the names of their leaders. The state government started planning to immortalize the names of state leaders or former dignitaries associated with the party's ideology. Now this dirty politics will proceed in such a way that the party which will come to power in the future will enter the name of its leader by passing a resolution repealing the naming that the previous party would have done. If you look at it that way, consider the name of the Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which may change in the future if a non-BJP comes.

Citizens value naming as much as leaders do, right? Whether it is Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna or Major Dhyan Chand Award, it is a matter of pride for the player or the citizens of the country to receive the Khel Ratna award. Even if Neeraj Chopra had got the gold associated with the name of the great athlete Jesse Owens Olympic Gold Medal, we would have rewarded him as an Olympic medal. Yes, if the award is based on the name of the person or organization and the level of the award is high, then it becomes a prominent identity such as Nobel Prize or Pulitzer Prize.

The award is named after the same route. Do you know if the road 500 meters away from your house is named after a late writer, music or art provider, freedom fighter and the best? When you reach home, you tell the guest that if Umashankar Joshi or Dilip Dholakia comes on the road and asks for the address of my apartment, it will show up immediately. You will be shocked that even though there is a board on that road, the shopkeeper will not know that this road has been named after a dignitary. The area will be known by names like Vastrapur, Surdhara Circle or Trikon Bagh, Subhash Chowk Chakli Circle and that is the identity of the city. Even on Google Map, there is no poet Nhanalal Marg.

Suppose a road or area is identified by the government in the name of a person, then no citizen wants to know the identity or contribution of the deceased. For example, Bhikaji Kama Marg is known in a city but you will stay there or ask the traders, 'Who was Bhikaji Kama?' So he will jokingly tell you that 'Bhaila has reached where you were supposed to go..don't ask such tough questions.' On the way to Ahmedabad known as CG Road, C.G. What? You get off at the railway station and sit in a rickshaw and say that if you take Chimanlal to Girdharlal Road, the brother with the rickshaw will tell you, 'Show me if you have seen, I will take the rickshaw accordingly.' Now you will say that CG Road will say 'Hey sir, let me deliver there with my eyes closed.' Maybe if you look at the plaque and you know that this is Chimanlal Girdharlal Marg, then you will be unaware of who this dignitary is and why the road is named after him. Its fullness can be guaranteed.

Let's talk about the name of the stadium. In India alone, it is not clear why leaders are eager to become immortal. No country in the world can think of such a move by their leaders. Does the name of Modi, Chavan, Patil, Jaitley, Wankhede, Chinnaswamy or Chidambaram make a difference to the spectators or players consciously or unconsciously? The names of the world's leading cricket stadiums should be brought to the notice of our politicians. How are stadiums in England known? No one can be more historic than Lord's Ground. Seeing his majesty, any leader may be tempted to associate his name, but Lords means Lords. Even many cricket fans may not be aware that Thomas Lord, a Middlesex County player who played for the MCC between the ages of 18 and 19. The stadium is named after him who played a role in the establishment.

England's Trentbridge, Edgbaston, Headingley, Oval and Old Trafford are the names of these world-famous stadiums. There is no stadium named after Queen Elizabeth or Chachal. Australia has cricket grounds in Melbourne, Gabba, Perth, Adelaide and Sydney. This applies to all public buildings, not just in cricket. In the United States, people like Lincoln, Roosevelt or Kennedy get such honors over politics and that too is decided unanimously in Parliament.

The leaders of all the parties come together and make a list. There is no stadium named after Jack Hobbs in England or Don Bradman in Australia. Yes, the names of such great players need a stand. Why doesn't the Indian Cricket Board take inspiration from Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai or Ahmedabad, which are known as stadiums in India. It may not matter that Prime Minister Modi named it Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award but the government should be transparent in all such nominations. Citizens do not have a single cent of the importance they give to the name. Yes, the curriculum can be completely comprehensive or redesigned. Forgotten history must be passed on to a new generation.

The bill should be passed in Parliament by all the parties together as the names of buildings and public roads or complexes should be provided by the provider of the area. India's martyrs, sportsmen, scientists and social reformers continued to be immortalized. The decision of the Haryana government to name the public road after the Olympic winners can be called a winning stroke. Not only the name board but also the picture of the particular person and his introduction should be written as seen abroad. The name has to be enlightened. There is no place in the hearts of the people as there is no love. Shakespeare said 'What is there in a name' in the same perspective. Whatever you call a rose, its fragrance must remain the same.
