Renaming Jim Corbett National Park: A Big Controversy in India
The attempt by the government at the time to rename famous landmarks, their colonial titles for their Indian names, and their ancestral heritage, has recently piqued the nation’s and intellectuals’ interest. When Union Minister of State for Forest and Environment Shri Ashwini Kumar Choubey visited Jim Corbett National Park on October 3, 2021, he stated in the museum book that the park’s name should be changed to ‘Ram Ganga.’ This sparked significant controversy. ‘National Park’ should be created, and it should be named as such.
