| Video Discription | Gurgaon is now Gurugram, Bombay changed to Mumbai, Calcutta to Kolkata ... why do Indian cities keep changing names? Ask the British. Transcript: Bombay was renamed Mumbai. Bangalore became Bengaluru. Calcutta switched to Kolkata. Why are we seeing new names for old Indian cities? On Wednesday, a city outside New Delhi, called Gurgaon, changed its name to Gurugram. Gurugram is one of more than 100 cities in India that's had a name change. So why are these cities switching? Turns out, British rule played a large part. Kolkata was British India's former capital, but the British called it Calcutta. Now, even decades after Britain released its grip, India is still trying to get back to its roots. Identity is another reason. India has dozens of languages and dialects — and some of the cities' names change to emphasize local languages. But just because a city changes its name doesn't mean natives follow along. Mumbai, for example, is still often called Bombay or Mumbai, interchangably. As for the most recent change to Gurugram, plenty of Indians on Twitter are making fun of the switch.
