Calling it Mumbai or Bombay has nothing to do with secularism. I personally tend to call it Bombay, more out of habit than anything else.

BTW, not in a habit of calling Calcutta, Kolkata and Trivandrum Thiruvananathpuram too.

Bombay or Mumbai both are the name of the same place..........sometimes i call Bombay and sometimes Mumbai.........and religion does not have anything to do with such things ..........its the choice of people that matters.........next people will say what do u call Bangalore or Bangaluru , Calcutta or Kolkata ??...........and will try to turn that also into a religious issue........pathetic

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.

so u like bombs since u want to call it Bombay

I think it should be called Bollywood.

Let those living there decide.
