If change of name is the issue then let govt change Ayodhya to Saket and Allahabad to Prayagraj and Azamgarh to Vikramgarh and a score of other.

Stop worrying about British rule and do the right thing !

After that, there has been a rush to change names of cities, including Bombay and most recently Bangalore. Besides confusing everyone in India, more importantly, the brand value of these historical names (which is criticial in today's global economy) is lost.

I am particularly thrilled that Rahul Dravid in his commentary has started referring to Bombay (and Madras and Bangalore and Calcutta).

Bring back the good feel and optimistic attitude of Bombay! And let's forget the "M" word and the police state it represents.

I am dead against changing names of places especially ones like Bombay, Madras, Calcutta, Pondicherry. All these names have a lot of history associated with them; besides changing names have not done any good to any place. All this is filthy politics and nothing else.

Don't bow down to cheap political stunts... They haven't added any value only trouble. Changing the name without logic only to satisfy a personal vendetta. Useless politicians who don't care about welfare

I've travelled to Bombay 5 times. Its not my country, not my city, but for the love of Ganesh, Bombay is a way more kickass name than Mumbai. No disrespect intended. Bring back Bombay!!

Please change the name back to the familiar and pleasant Bombay.
Most Americans have never heard of Mumbai. Our newscasters have to explain this each time they mention Mumbai.
