Early and personal life
Bachchan was born in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, in north-central India. His ancestors on his father's side came from a village called Babupatti, in Tehsil of Raniganj, in the district of Pratapgarh, in present-day Uttar Pradesh, India. His father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, was a well-known Hindu dialect, a Hindu, while his mother, Teji Bachchan, was Sikh. Bachchan was originally named Inquilaab, inspired by the term Inquilab Zindabad popularly used during the struggle for Indian independence. In English, Inquilab Zindabad means "Long live the revolution". However, at the suggestion of fellow poet Sumitranandan Pant, Harivansh Rai changed the boy's name to Amitabh, which, according to an article in the Times of India, means "the light that will never die". Shrivastava, Amitabh's father had adopted the pen name Bachchan ("child-like" in Hindi colloquial), under which he published all his works. It is with this name that Amitabh made his film debut and for all other practical purposes, Bachchan became the surname of his entire immediate family. Bachchan's father died in 2003, and his mother in 2007.
