A part of southwest Houston, Texas — home to a large number of south Asians, including Indians — has been officially renamed Mahatma Gandhi District to honour the leader for his 141st birth anniversary. Hillcroft, an ethnic conclave, was renamed this month, fulfilling the seven-year-long demand of the over 100,000 strong Indian-American population living in the Greater Houston area.
City Mayor Annise Parker announced the change of name along with Consul-General of India in Houston, Sanjiv Arora.
