Afterall there are other places too where names have been changed, Vadodara, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Tiruvanantapuram. Why is Mumbai the centre of everybodies attention. Maybe because Mumbai is the big Indian dream.....I dont know. Afterall as you say whats in a name? Mumbai Bombay all the same. Then why are we falling for the politicians trap. The politicians have succeeded. I think we are giving undue attention to such things happening around us. Maybe we should just ignore this and move on, or take up the cause and do something about it, lets not just indulge in idle talk and fall for the poiliticians tricks. I hope we realise soon that we are Indians first and then Maharashtrians, Mumbaikars, Bombay wallas or whatever. Hopefully all the citizens of this GREAT country will start doing this soon. Deep

But when it comes to company names, hotel names or any personal stuff, no one has right to change anything. Take example of Bombay Dying, it's a brand name, no one can force you to change it to Mumbai, just because Bombay is known as Mumbai now.. it's kind of stupid. I do not understand what difference will the change name make in the economy? These politicians always want themselves in the news. The law is weak, the guys who handle law are weaker..

Is it Mumbai or is it Bombay? Or is it that people have not changed the old name tags? To me personally name hardly matters call it Mumbai, Bombay or Sharingkapoding it will still be the same place. It's not the name that makes this place what it is. So whatever the name is keep it same at all the places, looks better.
