New Delhi, February 27, 2023 (PPI-OT):The Indian Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking constitution of a ‘Renaming Commission’ to restore original names of ancient, cultural and religious places renamed by invaders, saying India can’t be a prisoner of the past. A bench of Justices KM Joseph and BV Nagarathna questioned the motive of the PIL filed by lawyer Ashwini Upadhyay, saying it will bring alive those issues, which would keep the country on boil.

The bench said, “This is a fact that our country was invaded and ruled by a foreign power. We cannot wish out a selected part of our history”. The top court told Upadhyay, “Our country is secular and Hinduism is a way of life, which has assimilated everyone and there is no bigotry in it”.
