Gurgaon is a city of
paradoxes, of extremes and of opportunities. The face of the city changed
remarkably, so did the fate of its inhabitants. The story began with the
transition of the land, from the agricultural field to the real estate
Dividend. A new set of people started settling in Gurgaon who had the
ambition of having their own house on a plot of land. A unique urban imagery
was created to portray an attractive, global and inspirational impression of
the city. More people came into Gurgaon for work and it has become a place
for professionals and the educated Class. The lower-end support personnel,
too, kept on flocking into the city in search of livelihood. The erstwhile
villages underwent demographic and physical transformations. Over the years,
the glitz and gloss as well as a palpable social separation became a part of
life in Gurgaon. Gurgaon was renamed gurugram in 2016. The new name was
inspired by Mahabharata, in which the village was donated as gurudakshina to
Guru Dronacharya’s by the Pandavas. A city to which history had made very
little sense so far, got a mythological connotation. Will the new name make
it a better city or give it a new identity? Only time will tell.
