The caste names are a taboo when it comes to the street names and got removed a decade back.
Next 3 street names to be featured here every Sunday have had a caste name along and now removed, but Chennai Corporation decided to keep it as a shortened one for easy reference i guess so.
Samy (na) street, was Samy Naicken Street in Chintadripet.
Perhaps Samy is taboo too to some folks and we should get rid of it… we can call it Street,, or perhaps Sa-Na Street..also some may find Dr. offending them because they are not doctors, and later on keep removing things because we find things taboo… reminds me of that vadivel-parthiban jokes. Perhaps Indicating these actions are a big joke.
Ram : Sa Na Street .. Hilarious it’d be to see it
