The Assam government has renamed Karimganj district in the Barak Valley as Sribhumi, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced. "Over 100 years ago, Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore described modern-day Karimganj as Sribhumi - the land of Maa Lakshmi," he said. "We will continue to change names that do not have any dictionary reference or any other historical evidence," Sarma added.
