if, what i've read is right, please note, delhi would be more apt because it fits the bill better than either mumbai or kolkata;<br>
1. delhi is more populous than kolkata.<br>
2. delhi is closer to +0530 than either mumbai or kolkata.<br>
3. delhi has no name change problems like mumbai, kolkata, chennai, etc.<br>
4. having delhi as the marker for india gives every indian a sense of<br>
pride which is absent in the case of any other indian city.<br></blockquote><div><br>Having lived in Delhi, this may just be a matter of time :-) I have seen calls for it to be renamed "Dilli".<br><br>When I was in Bombay for 5 years in the 80s, no expected the name to change; I graduated from the "Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Bombay". Now it is the "Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai".<br>
<br>Again, this is just an identifier, it has no intrinsic meaning. My name is "Sanjeev", but I do not think I am "immortal". We will know better once the end of the world deadline has passed.<br><br clear="all">
