Naushad Ali Road
Have you been to Naushad Ali road recently. No, no, not Mohammed Ali Road. Naushad Ali Road.
Chances are you have but never realized it.
In the stupid politician series this is another hallmark.
Residents are angry that the plan to rename Carter Road as Sangeet Samrat Naushad Ali Road was mooted by corporator Kavita Rodricks without consulting them. [link]
The erstwhile Carter Road that has for decades been one of the landmarks of Bombay, has been re-christened Sangeet Samrat Naushad Ali Road.
No offence to Naushad whose music was timeless and amazing, but was there a need to name this prominent road after him. And will changing the name really make any difference.
Did it make a difference to Warden Road or Hill Road? Bhulabhai Desai and Ramdas Naik would say NO.
Will someone tell Kavita Rodricks, Corporator, SP (stupid politician) that she has pushed the envelope of stupidity when it comes to politicians.
I agree, and fail to understand what these politicians are trying achieve by changing the names of street. When the people of the city really care that much. Why isit so difficult for INdian politicians to accept the fact that we were ruled by the BRitish/Portugese/French at some time and there some part of those days still with such in the form of street names, buildings etc. Knock some sense into that women please !
