Kolkata's Suhrawardy Avenue Renamed, Sparking Debate on Historical Legacy

West Bengal renamed Kolkata's Suhrawardy Avenue to Gopal Mukherjee Road, sparking debate. The state government called it correcting historical wrongs, referencing Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy's controversial role in 1946 violence. However, records show the road originally honored Sir Hasan Suhrawardy, a respected doctor and educationist. Critics argue renaming overlooks his significant contributions to education and medicine.
