Miyaan Ka Bara

The Rajasthan government will change the names of four more villages after the Hindu-dominated Miyaan ka Bara village was renamed as Mahesh Nagar.

A village of 2,000-odd people in Rajasthan that for long wanted to change its name has finally got its wish. The residents of Hindu-dominated Miyaan ka Bara, which translates to a settlement of Muslims, had complained that the name was interfering with the marriage prospects of their children.
