Interesting...

having just come from India, the conditions there are unbelieveable, so I can believe this story.

I would like to point out that the country is making a conscious shift, changing the English spelling of Calcutta to the more ancient Kolkata. There are a few other cities that are being spelled in the ancient manner. From what a local explained to me is that it is a "return to roots" type thing that some of the more conservatives are pushing.
