Rahul Gandhi is asking the concerned authorities in his hometown to change his name. No, it's not the son of Sonia Gandhi who is doing it. It's a youngster from Indore in Madhya Pradesh.

The man was given the name Rahul at his birth. His father was a BSF jawan who was known for being the right type of guy. His colleagues gave him the nickname 'Gandhi' as a tribute to his niceness. Since everyone was calling him Gandhi, Rahul's father thought that his son should get the surname as a legacy! Instead of Rahul Malaviya, he registered the name Rahul Gandhi in the son's certificate.

The government departments have always seen the name with suspicion, thinking that the youngster is faking it. "My documents aren't being made as concerned departments call it a fake name. They make fun of me. People don't even issue a SIM card, driving license, loan or any other needed papers to me by this name," he says.
