Name changes hota hai, dudes.

It's normal.

And what's wrong with reverting to the original local names as the standard names? I think it should be more like it. Why should we be more like the goras, eh?

edit: VT station sounded better, but why would you want to acknowledge the goras existence? Why not build our own presence?

Also, I suggest reading this article. At least 8 cities were re-named.

i think the OP was complaining about how Mumbai isn't an original local name.

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam,
Why they changed it I can't say,
People just liked it better that way !

I miss the ottoman empire.

I don't get the Chinese name changes at all. Theoretically it has to do with the phonetic system they picked. But Beijing??? Phonetically it is closer to Peiging. Even the good old Peking is better than Beijing. I have to guess everytime I see an updated name what city they are referring to.

Do you really speak mandarin? I have absolutely no idea where you're coming from.

By the way, if you are in fact chinese, you should know about ping yin (ying? agh, southern accent getting the better of me).

People who want the names changed are idiots, especially the ones ready to use force for it. The British occupation of India is was and always will be a fact of historical importance. How would Desi's feel if Brits start renaming Curry, Jungle etc.

I'll tell you how, we'd laugh at them, call them morons and move on. Which is what the English speaking world did when those morons decided to change names for political capital instead of improving the country. I refuse to use the new names except while mocking them and the people behind them.

I do speak Mandarin. BEI is just phonetically wrong, j or g is a bit less clear of an issue. I don't give a crap what the officially sanctioned phonetic system says, that is just messed up. Don't tell me you say Beijing in Mandarin sounds anything like Beijing.
