British daily to use Bombay instead of Mumbai
British newspaper 'The Independent' will begin referring to Mumbai as Bombay, in a move its editor Amol Rajan said on Wednesday was aimed at taking a stand against Hindu nationalists. Rajan said, "I’d rather side with the tradition of India that’s been open to the world". Notably, Bombay was renamed Mumbai by the Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra government in 1995.
