Assam's Karimganj district renamed as Sribhumi

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.
