Renaming of cities in India
The degree to which these name changes have caught on in popular English use varies. For example, Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai have caught on, whereas Bengaluru (Bangalore)[1] and Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum)[2] have not. In many languages other than English, however, the new names gained limited or no popularity at all; even in the cases of Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai, they are still referred to as Madras, Calcutta and Bombay.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
Popular culture also has remnants of the old city names in use, years after the changes. Bombay Stock Exchange, Bombay Talkies, Bollywood, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay for Bombay/Mumbai, Madras Talkies, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, University of Madras, Madras High Court for Madras/Chennai and Indian Institute of Management Calcutta for Calcutta/Kolkata are prominent examples.
