@ValleyGirl629 In 1917, during World War I, #KingGeorgeV #stripped the 🇬🇧 #RF of their #German #titles due to intense anti-German sentiment in the United Kingdom. As part of this shift, #PrinceLouis of #Battenberg adopted the #anglicized #surname #Mountbatten.

Please call the ancient university by its original name: Takshashila. Tak-Sha-Shila. It is not some cab-hailing app that needs to be called “#Taxila.” That #anglicized name was the product of #colonial tongues that couldn’t pronounce Indian names properly. It is disappointing that even sections of our own media and intellectual class continue to repeat it unquestioningly. Names matter. Civilizations matter. Narratives matter. If we say Beijing instead of Peking, Mumbai instead of Bombay, and Kolkata instead of Calcutta, then we should have no hesitation in calling #Takshashila by its rightful name. Meanwhile, #Pakistan has managed to earn a #UNESCO warning for “restoring” this priceless civilizational heritage with cement 😧. It takes a special kind of brilliance to preserve a 2,000-year-old archaeological site using modern construction materials. Maybe Becoz porkis only got cement for brains 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄

My daughter and I were in the children’s section of a bookstore when a white woman asked my daughter what her name was. Yu-Rhee was three years old at the time. “You’ll never see that name in any of these books,” the woman said. #anglicized #names https://t.co/XttrSOvwQR
