``Hindu fundamentalism is the biggest threat to the modern India``, says Khashwant Singh in `End of India`... this s the time whn india should learn from the outcome of islamic fundamentalism in pakistn..and pakistan from the political/democratic development of India... as the fool learns from his own mistakes n wise from the others.

Assam, Sikkim, and Bhutan are occupied territories, by any definition, that fell to the naked Indian aggression. Pakistan should not accept Indian soveriengty on this territory and help local freedom movements to seek independence from oppression.

Sure dude... but before you bankrupt beggar pakis step out to ``help`` others - may be you should free yourselves from oppression by your own army and from NATO bombs... :)

With Bangladesh surrounded almost 360 degrees with indian territories including Assam the only genuine bengalis left would be former East Pakistanis....Most of Educated Bengalis have become anglicised and move away from bengal hindised and otherwise

Honestly speaking the things the Ass amese are doing to each other and to the Indians of the neighboring states these days -- the name Assam should be changed to Assiam -- not Awsom.

So true, nasah ji (despite the great regard I obviously have for Assam/Asom. Which other place could have given the nation a son like Bhupen Hazarika?)

Indian government`s neglect of north-east is to a large extent responsible for the present condition. Otherwise Assam is a place where you would find pork-eating Muslims and beef-eating Hindus living together peacefully. :)

A corridor through Bangladesh will definitely help.

Re: # 5

Actually all of Indian states have fallen to India`s naked aggression. Are you going to do something about it? Please let us know.

City names are not just names but brands too and have inherent association of the character of that city. The name Bombay was a brand as was Calcutta, Madras and Bangalore. Mumbai doesn`t quite reflect character of a vibrant cosmopolitan city. It isn’t the name these politicians change, they slowly kill the spirit of the city.

Interesting article!

Name changes seem to be quite popular these days, and not only in India. There seems to be a conspiracy all over to make life somewhat more difficult for people settled in their ways. Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka have all changed the names of their cities. Burma and Ceylone even changed the names of their countries. China changed the entire spelling system, making it even more difficult for outsiders to pronounce their names.

But I am surprised that you have credited/blamed the BJP for inventing this ``disease``. Poona was changed into Pune long before the BJP was even formed. I think that this is more of a regional than a religious thing; otherwise the first name changes would have been the street names in Delhi - there seems to be a name for every Mughal/Muslim ruler in the city, including the Aurangzeb Road and none of the several BJP administrations in Delhi have tried to change those names. Indeed, two names from the Muslim era have been added to new streets - Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg and the Sher Shah Suri Marg.

Bhutan is an independent kingdom. It is occupied by the Bhutanese. -)

By that extension of removing Jehangir and Sher Shah Suris names then no christian or Muslim or Parsi child should be named so but only appropriately named by majoriy shiv sena ,bjp,communists....
