"I have never been to the U.S,
but I have been to U.P”. This famous sentence was once not said by William
Wordsworth. Had he then Wordsworth would had his name rechristened by the local
populace of Uttar Pradesh as William Gorakhpuri or Wordsworth Lakhnavi. The overwhelming
hangover of colonial regime interspersed with Indian fervour finds its utterances in names
like Faithful Ganj and Burlington chauraha. So it would also not be surprising if the landmark
Taat Mill Chauraha were renamed after Wordsworth as Taat Will Chauraha or
rather Willyum ganj.
