PM Modi's decolonisation odyssey: Complete catalog of colonial name changes since 2014

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership since 2014 has spearheaded a transformative national movement to dismantle colonial-era nomenclature across cities, roads, stations, government buildings and institutions, replacing them with names rooted in Indian heritage, duty and service. This initiative, personally championed by PM Modi through inaugurations and public endorsements, symbolises a psychological break from British imperialism, aligning with his vision of 'Amrit Kaal' and cultural reclamation. From 2025's 'Seva Teerth' to 2026 military renamings, over 300 sites have been redefined, with Delhi's central symbols like Rajpath to 'Kartavya Path' exemplifying the shift from regal to republican ethos.
