In the past, we have seen Bangalore, Bombay and Madras and Trivandrum being renamed, with hardly a ripple as far as change for the better is concerned. At a time when West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been given another chance to rule the State, she must focus on good governance, maintaining law and order, inviting investment and enabling social harmony rather than bother about inconsequential issues like changing the name of her State (“Mamata Cabinet wants State to be renamed as Bengal”, Aug.3).
