💨 Abstract

The Indian Army renamed its Eastern Command headquarters in West Bengal, Fort William, to Vijay Durg in December 2020, aiming to discard the colonial legacy. The new name was inspired by the Vijaydurg Fort in Maharashtra, a Maratha Empire naval base. The change was an internal decision and was locally known, yet no formal announcement was made.
