New York --> Naya Ghad

It’s interesting to see let’s-change-the-name-of-an-Indian-city craze which is going on for years now. Be it Madras to Chennai, Bombay to Mumbai, Calcutta to Kolkotta, and recently Bangalore to Bengaluru. I also wonder why some politician hasn’t yet suggested changing Delhi to Indraprasth or go even further and changing India to Hindusthan [nah!! That will not get him so called minority votes then, will it? ;)].

Anyways, while thinking about this, I had this crazy thought. What if NRIs/OCIs living overseas had a similar urge to change the name of the suburb, city, state or country they live in to something more Indian? What they would be called? Let’s see some example:

New York = Naya Ghad (we already have Junaghad, don't we :-p)
Valley View = V V Puram
Washington = Dhobi Ghat [Courtesy: MBCA :)]
Sydney = Sitapore
Maribyrnong = Mylapur
Adelaide = Anand Nagar
Port Adelaide = Anand Bandar :) or Anandapatanam
Brisbane = Bana(na)ras
Gold Coast = Sonpuri
Kensington Garden = Kishan Bagh

Now let's see what can we change London, California etc into. Go ahead and go wild with your imagination.
