Mumbai or Bombay? What do you call it?
If you are secular, modern and western then obviously you personally would call it Bombay.
If you call it Mumbai, then obviously you're a Hindu fanatic. No question about that.

It's good that people tolerate you despite all the bombings and killings. But why do you support Bjp?

I can NEVER support them(with no offense to their supporters)bcoz of them i lost my people why would i ever support them?
And what exactly you meant by people toleratin me there?

and bcos of the congress and their lazy politicians who do not seem to care damn about the country and it's continuous bombings, my people have suffered too.
Pls, don't think that I support shambo cos I don't. I don't see how calling it Mumbai makes me a Hindu fanatic? cos I love both Bombay and Mumbai. I like calling relatives mumbaikars but also love the feel of being from 'Bombay'😊difficult for me to choose, Bombay seems a little more old and traditional though so maybe i'd go with that

Yeh secularism kaha se aa gaya beech me, pretty much all parties(so called secularist and fundamentalists) in Maharashtra have said they prefer to have it as Mumbai and the people of Mumbai also have favored that.. So if everyone concerned is in agreement, why this chilamchilli😉
