Find below a brilliant article by Sujata Anandan, one of my favourite newspaper columnists. Anandan is a brave columnist who has tremendous insight and a great understanding of Indian politics. She was the first person to point out the Shashi Tharoor scandal was a behind-the-scenes job by Sharad Pawar (who as always, got away unscathed with everything he did.)
In this article, she takes on the Thackerays or should I say the Thakres for their double standards in keeping an Anglicised version of their last name, while trying to shove the word Mumbai down our throats. This city will always be Bombay for me, a third generation Bombayite. And yes, the government officially recognises both names. Thank you Sunanda for this wonderful article.
