It used to be Mumbai in Marathi, Bambai in Hindi & Bombay in English
Like
- Lisbon is called Lisboa in local language
- Moscow is called Moscowa
- Warsaw is Warszawa
- Florence is Firenze
- Antwerp is Antwerpen
Sweden itself is called Sveridge by locals
What's the big deal?
I genuinely have a question to all those who still call the city as Bombay and not Mumbai.
It has been 30 years since the city is renamed as Mumbai. And still the non-native speakers insist on calling it Bombay. Some of the native speakers also go by the same name while speaking in Hindi or English. I see that in reels, filmy people conversations, college kids' conversations, and everywhere else too.
I don't really have an issue with whatever you wanna call the city but the insistence of calling it Bombay is like disrespecting the local identity and language and feelings of the original inhabitants. And though Mumbai is a cosmopolitan city, it has its own language, culture, food, identify. The local flavour needs to be RESPECTED.
And don't give me a political argument.... Some of you weren't even born when the politics around it happened. Apart from that, what is the reason?

Using age-wise population projections cited by officials, @pon_vasanth & I estimated that 5.19 crore people should be eligible to vote. But the final rolls have only 4.55 crore electors

The way SC is treating and ignoring revelations related to CEC & SIR looks like a travesty of justice in the name of procedure.

Be scared. Be very scared.

I think @narendramodi govt is losing the battle of perceptions particularly on @instagram. Every day hundreds of propaganda reels are being made against the govt that is being forcibly pushed on the timelines of everyone, even when you don’t follow the makers. The platform has clearly picked a side. And @AshwiniVaishnaw’s ministry seems to be either clueless about it, or the babus are compromised. @blsanthosh

In Med School, 1st Sem Exams has a mandatory question
- "Give 102 reasons why a vaccine didn't work without tainting the vaccine's reputation"
Anyone who doesn't answer this creatively isn't allowed to become a doctor. "Full moon night" is also one of the valid reasons

56" Modi Sarkar is committing a huge mistake by trying to restrict content which ridicules it/criticises it.
The result: all those posts reach more people.
A paranoid Modi Govt has gone berserk on @instagram - any content that is slightly critical of the Supreme Leader is being taken down. Even JOKES are not being spared💀
Why is the ‘most popular PM in the world’ so worried about what’s happening on Insta? Didn’t Modi say that we need more satire and humour in our lives?😖
As the narrative slips and the lies come out - expect more accounts to be censored / banned / blocked. @Meta not saying saying why the content got blocked - just that they are following local regulations 😬🥸
