when was the name changed from bombay to mumbai?
1739
by the late 20th century, the city was referred to as "mumbai" or "mambai" in marathi, konkani, gujarati, kannada and sindhi, and as "bambai" in hindi. the government of india officially changed the english name to "mumbai" in november 1995. this came at the insistence of the marathi nationalist shiv sena party, which had just won the maharashtra state elections, and mirrored similar name changes across the country and particularly in maharashtra. according to "slate" magazine, "they argued that 'bombay' was a corrupted english version of 'mumbai' and an unwanted legacy of british colonial rule." "slate" also said "the push to rename bombay was part of a larger movement to strengthen marathi identity in the maharashtra region." while the city is still referred to as bombay by some of its residents and by indians from other regions, mention of the city by a name other than "mumbai" has been controversial, resulting in emotional outbursts sometimes of a violently political nature.
