India has been quietly switching up all the fancy colonial building names to something way less pompous, and it looks like the government is trying to make a point about public service instead of ruling over people. The prime minister started this whole thing back in 2016 when he ditched his bougie address for one called the Road of People's Welfare, and since then, a bunch of official spots have gotten makeovers.
The old Rajpath became Kartavya Path, which basically means duty instead of rule, and the Central Secretariat turned into the House of Duty. Even the bureaucracy headquarters got rebranded as the Pilgrimage of Service. Governor's mansions are getting renamed to People's House across different states, signaling that these buildings are supposed to belong to regular citizens rather than being symbols of authority and distance.
