Residents of the Nilgiris are urging the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to rename the hill station Udhagamandalam back to its original indigenous name, Ootacamund. Proponents argue the current name is a Sanskritized corruption that ignores the region's Badaga heritage.
While the State celebrates ‘Tamil Nadu Day’, the people of Nilgiris have appealed to the Chief Minister to consider the long-pending demand of the hill people to restore the name of one of India’s most popular hill stations.
