UP Governor Ram Naik against British legacy

George Orwell was of the opinion that 'Nationalism is not to be confused with
patriotism', something that many people in India believe to be interchangeable.

Rajbhavan or Government House in Lucknow must be a very
stifling abode for Governor Ram Naik with all the memorabilia from the past 
(maybe even spirits) flitting through the massive mansion he occupies in Lucknow!!
Up ahead is the Burlington crossing, the name derived from the hotel
by that name to the right of the road that was replace a few years
ago by a mall
OCR building in centre of the pic: While old names are routinely changed,
the 12-storey building that replaced the bungalow known as the Old
Councillor's Residence of the British Raj has retained the name.
