Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh: India is known for its diverse culture and unique traditions, but sometimes some things become very strange and troublesome. One such case is seen in a village in Sultanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, where the name itself has become a great embarrassment for the women, especially the new-born brides.
Located in Baldirai tehsil of Sultanpur, the name of this village is “Balampur”. At first glance this name may seem normal, but in local language and social contexts it creates a great confusion. The women of this village, especially those who come here after marriage, feel very ashamed and hesitation in taking the name of their village in front of someone.
The problem is that in Indian tradition, especially in rural areas, women do not take their husband’s name. Incidentally, the name of this village is associated with the word “Balam”, which wives use to address their husbands. In such a situation, when a woman is asked the name of her village, she has to say “Balampur”, which seems as if she is publicly taking her husband’s name.
Due to this strange situation, women often avoid answering questions or talk in gestures. This small thing has become a major obstacle in his daily social life. The new daughters of the village are most difficult to keep pace with this name. This case shows how names and words can create discomfort for people due to social and cultural traditions.
