What chain reaction, what cause and effect, makes you turn around, makes you try to explain

I was reading news from Mumbai this week, and was reminded of the recent renaming of places in India. Mumbai, previously known as Bombay, was renamed in the mid-90s to the more localized dialectical name, in much the same fashion that Constantinople's name was changed to Istanbul. (And a note: I really would've liked to use "Istanbul (not Constantinople)" for today's subject, but alas used it in June 2006.... Instead I'll just have to live with linking to a Tiny Toons video of Istanbul...)

Anyways, the name Bombay is no longer the city's official name--now left only to the realm of Bewitched's "Calling Dr. Bombay..."--and it's not the only well-known city in the country to experience a recent name change. Gone also is Madras (now Chennai), Bangalore is now more a reference to a city in Maine (the India city is Bengaluru), and Calcutta (Kolkata--at least it's similar).

They've even gone to the extent of renaming a Victorian train station from its original name of Victoria Terminus to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. Now, the city renaming seems alright... this train station, which was built by the British in a very British style, seems a bit bizarre to me...

If you knew that you would be alone,
Knowing right, being wrong,
Would you change?
