"The education board under the Mamata Banerjee government had changed the traditional Bengali term for rainbow from ramdhonu (Ram’s bow) to rongdhonu (bow of colour) in higher secondary textbooks, quietly dropping the word Ram. Or aakashi (sky blue colour), for instance, was changed to its Urdu/Persian avatar, aasmani."
