What's in a name?
Business Standard / New Delhi June 16, 2009, 0:32 IST

The spelling of Corporate Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid’s surname has got many confused. His own ministry’s website spells it ‘Khurshid’ while the minority affairs ministry’s website had it down as ‘Khursheed’. When someone asked him whether he too would like to issue a media advisory on how to spell his name, as a ministerial colleague did, Khurshid said “I have better things to do than worry about the spelling of my name”.
