Restoring Identity: UP Government Moves to Rename Mustafabad to Kabirdham

Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath announced plans to rename Mustafabad village to Kabirdham, aligning with the area's historical ties to Sant Kabir. The move is part of broader efforts to restore cultural identity by renaming places altered by previous rulers. The proposal highlights the BJP's focus on cultural rejuvenation.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath revealed plans on Monday to rename Mustafabad village in Lakhimpur Kheri district as 'Kabirdham,' aiming to restore the area's historical and cultural connections to Sant Kabir.

This announcement was made during the 'Smriti Mahotsav Mela 2025,' highlighting the government's commitment to reviving sites with significant religious and cultural ties, contrasting with past expenditures that focused on constructing boundary walls for graveyards.

Adityanath emphasized his administration's efforts to rejuvenate places of spiritual importance, citing examples like Ayodhya and Prayagraj, as part of a broader initiative to harness public funds for cultural pride and continuity.
