Ever since India got Independence, the names or many states and cities have changed. From Bangalore to Bengaluru, Mysore to Mysuru, Simla to Shimla, Mohali to SAS Nagar, Noida to Gurugram, the names of lots of places have changed and many changes may take place in the coming years. The question is, what's the point in making these changes and are people really happy with them?

I still refer to them as Bombay, Calcutta, Bangalore except in official correspondence.
And there' s Gauhati to Guwahati

I totally agree. What's the point of changing the name of a city or a country, for that matter, if the citizens are not happy? So! What exactly is behind all the name changes? If you can explain or if you can share an informative link that would be good!

Names of the town or city have witness the pass and history. Our Government also change the names of the town. Just want to change history lo.

No one is really happy. It is only the hired uneducated people of political parties who feel happy for having changed the names as such. I wish that the boundaries of such states shall be altered whenever the names are changed.

You missed Bombay to Mumbai and Madras to Chennai...
The reason could be to make the city names sound more local and Nativity. To remove any influenced of colonial spelling s. Not sure though

There will be some reasons for changing the names too. But the old name is good to say.
