Berhampore, April 1 -- In 1757, Mir Jafar helped change the course of the subcontinent's history when he sided with the British against his employer, nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah.

The reason: changes in the names of some family members. "Our ancestors built the Hazarduari Palace and other structures that define Murshidabad. Yet, our names have been struck off," said Syed Mohammad Fahim Meerza, a descendant of Mir Jafar and a Trinamool Congress councillor at Murshidabad municipality. The eldest member of the family, 82-year-old Syed Mohammad Reza Ali Meerza, popularly addressed as Chhote Nawab, lives in the historic Killa Nizamat area of Murshidabad town. His name, the names of his son Syed Mohammad Fahim Meerza, daughter-in-law, and brother Mohammad Abbas Ali Meerza's two daughters and elder son were removed after they were flagged for "logical discrepancy".
