Rehman Gali To Ram Gali: Why Pakistan Is Reviving Pre-Partition Lahore Street Names Now?

Nearly eight decades after Partition, Lahore is bringing back several historic Hindu and Sikh names erased from its streets after 1947. Rehman Gali is once again Ram Gali, Islampura is reverting to Krishan Nagar and more than fifteen roads and neighbourhoods are under review as part of a heritage revival project. The initiative, backed by Pakistan Punjab’s government, has generated major attention because it challenges decades of state-sponsored identity rewriting in Pakistan. Many locals say these names never disappeared from public memory despite official changes. However, critics argue that restoring old signboards cannot hide Pakistan’s continuing minority rights problems, shrinking Hindu and Sikh populations and repeated attacks on religious sites. The Lahore story has now evolved into a larger debate about whether Pakistan is finally confronting its pre-Partition past.

AXIS is where the world is explained through India’s lens. For decades, global narratives have been shaped by Western media... told through Washington, London or Beijing. But as India rises as a major economic, military and diplomatic power, why should others define the world for us? Why shouldn’t India shape its own voice, own perspective, and own narrative? That’s where AXIS comes in. We decode global power shifts, wars and conflicts, the India-China rivalry, Pakistan, West Asia, oil shocks, trade battles and neighbourhood politics - with one key question: What does this mean for India and for you? As India rises, so should its share of voice!
