Maharashtra minister Sanjay Shirsat has announced the renaming of Khultabad, the town where Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's tomb is located, to Ratnapur. The move comes after a demand from the minister, other state leaders, and right-wing groups for the removal of the tomb. The minister stated that many place names were changed during Aurangzeb's reign and the government plans to change the names of all places with "bad" in them. The government also plans to construct a memorial showcasing the history of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and his son Sambhaji Maharaj in Khultabad.
