"Yeh hai mumbai nagariya, tu dekh babua" - Thats the new version of the superhit song from "Don", which will be launched soon. Not only this, other superhit songs like "Yeh hai bombay meri jaan" will also be edited and the word Bombay and will be replaced by word Mumbai.
This came after Shiv Sena issued demands to change the name of Bombay Scottish School as well as company Bombay Dyeing, demanding their names be changed to read Mumbai and not Bombay."We want to remove the existence of Bombay from everywhere and replace it with Mumbai." said a Sena worker."We also seek to replace the word 'Bombay' from all hindi and Marathi movies and get it replaced with 'Mumbai'", he added.So now we will get to see Amitabh bachhan singing in Mumbai to Goa and Arvind Swamy romancing Manish Koirala in Mumbai. The organization has decided to stage dharna and agitation against institutions and business places still using the word Bombay."Bombay was something that was forced on us by Britishers" said an enthusiast supporter,"Mumbai is what we live in" another one chirped in.So from now on ask taxi wallah to drop you off to Mumbai Stock Exchange and dream of sending your children to Mumbai Scottish school.
