The Rajasthan government has changed the name of 8 villages with Muslim names, claiming that they have a majority Hindu population. The 'Miyan ka Bara' village in Barmer district was renamed to 'Mahesh Nagar'. Locals claimed that this would make marriage proposals easier as the old names made it look like they were Muslim-dominated villages.
