you tube ^

A light hearted romantic comedy...from Mumbai-Pune region of India.
TOPICS: Music/Entertainment
KEYWORDS: bollywood; marathi; movie
People from this area tend to talk a bit fast, so sub-titles might go by a bit fast, also. It has been 55 years since I left Mumbai, but I can still understand most of the words. Amazing how much our brain retains.

Is Mumbai what used to be Bombay? Why did the name change?

I had Punjabi classmates back in HS so I’m “used” to it.

Many cities in India were re-named by the British for easy pronounciation...Mumbai becomes Bombay. Now nationalism has taken over, all cities renamed back to original names.

Is Mumbai what used to be Bombay? Why did the name change? Why they changed it I can't say/People just liked it better that way.

The more apt reason is sub-nationalism, used by small regional political parties in India to expand their influence using the most obvious factor distinguishing different states in India: language. Names of cities like Calcutta, Bombay, Pune, Madras and Bangalore were changed either as part of policy or due to pressure from smaller regional parties, and not the influence of the large political parties.

As an English speaker, I of course preferred the former names. Wonder why they couldn’t have utilized dual names? Maybe because of the bitterness left over from colonialism? As a southerner (not bitter, however) I can understand that.
Many English speaking Indians have put me and my countrymen to shame by their outstanding English skills, which they acquired while they were quite young!
