In Delhi, there are several localities named after places in Pakistan. These names were chosen by the earliest settlers, who were mostly migrants from West Punjab (during partition). So, one can find a Mianwali as well as a Gujranwala Town within Delhi, among others.

How idiotic is this?? Even Dhaka has shops named after Bombay..we share a common history..any attempts to tamper with that is despicable.

Raza bhai, thank you for the post and more importantly for me as i read you blog, thanks to you, getting to know people like Avinash & Vandana in all this gloom following the Mumbai tragedy

Dr. Nagi, I think it is the same in Sindh

the renaming has taken place mainly, perhaps with British names only ie., Lyall, Montegomery (Sahiwal) etc

MNS acts should not be seen as representing that of an entire nation or population….MNS is a desperate organistaion and its chief is locked in a do or die attempt to be seen as the main regional party.He is trying to win that mantle from the party run by his uncle,Bala Sahib Thackeray.
India is dotted with names that are of Pakistani cities and towns.
And how is MNS ever going to rename our Punjabi signature dish Pindi chholey that is served with pride in restaurants with names like Pind Balochi (in Delhi) )

Hi,
To all Indian Visitors,just to let you know,In Lahore,the old names are still preserved and are still in use, cosmopoliten nature of lahoris refuse to make or accept a change.Examples are Krishan Nagar,Ramnagar,Sunnatnagar,ramgarh,hota singh road,munghia street,Hindu Camp,Nehru Park,Gandhi Square,kotcha chela ram,chepat ram road,ganga ram mansion,,dyal singh masion,lakshmi mansion,lakshmi chowk,dinga singh building,dhani ram road,ganga ram hospital.ghulab devi hospital,jhanki devi hospital,Ahata Mool chand,,ahata moti saghar,anand road,dev samaj road,bharat building and much more.The list is exhautive and these are few names I remember from the top of head.
We in lahore have an open mind ,and strongly believe that ONCE A LAHORIA ALWAYS A LAHORIA.We are not narrow minded like Indian Politician Mr.Bal Thakeray who call Indian Muslims,their own citizens as Cancer..
