Most of them attempt to recuperate original names in substitution for "colonial" names. If you check out wikipedia for Mumbai, you can see the whole explanation. Another example is Kolkata for Calcutta, Chennai for Madras, etc. Hmmm… You mean you’re not up on your Indian geography? Next you’ll tell me that you didn’t know that the state of Bihar is now divided into Bihar and Jharkhand. Or that the northwestern corner of Uttar Pradesh is now Uttaranchal. Man, you have to keep up with this stuff!!!
