VHP Seeks To Restore Ancient Name 'Indraprastha' For Delhi

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has demanded that Delhi be renamed to 'Indraprastha', invoking its roots in ancient Indian history and the Mahabharata era. In a letter to Delhi Culture Minister Kapil Mishra, the Delhi unit of the VHP urged that the national capital's name, along with Indira Gandhi International Airport and New Delhi Railway Station, be changed to reflect the city's "true cultural identity."
