FILE - In this Sunday August 20, 1995 file photo, a sign at the popular Gateway of India tourist site in Bombay welcomes visitors with the unfamiliar name, "Mumbai." Some place names don’t just tell us where we live or where we’re going. They’re also a political statement, or in the eyes of some a politically incorrect one. They may not spark a war of the worlds, but a war of words they can. In India, part of Britain’s former empire, Bombay became Mumbai in 1995, and the southern city of Madras was renamed Chennai the following year. (AP Photo/Santosh Bane)
