RENAMING THE STAR? WILL THE EFFULGENCE INCREASE?

RENAMING THE STAR? WILL THE EFFULGENCE INCREASE?

Star Theatre would better remain Star Theatre than be renamed Bibodini Theatre. Names have their historic associations. Sri Ramakrishna visited the Star Theatre and not Bonodini Theatre. The Kathāmrita records it. Girish Babu staged his plays at Star Theatre and not Binodini Theatre. Why tamper with historic names of such significance to honour Noti Binodini? Binodini may be honoured, remembered in many other ways if the government's department of culture so wishes it.
