The original commenter's place of origin wouldn't really change the substance of what I said - has Delhi not renamed an entire host of places/roads that fall within its territory?
As I said, a bit odd that people (most likely belonging to Tier I cities) only take examples from certain states in such threads, acting as if the politics behind renaming older institutions/roads/cities hasn't caused the greatest violence in their own cities.
We can actually add Agra, Kolkata and Jodhpur to this discussion. Varanasi too, not for anything fancy but just because of the crustness of their kachoris.
Wasn't Victoria Terminus changed to Chhatrapati Shivaji?
It's always interesting how such charges of chauvinism are kept reserved for certain northern states.
Kolkata has the cheapest and best fastfood I've ever had - and I'm from Gujarat. Takes a lot for a Gujarat to accept that.
Pub scene and tiffin scene is excellent though.

Also, out of general curiosity - white bread as a part of local food - is it a British legacy? Because I've personally never seen white bread being a part of any other local Indian cuisine (we have our Indian variants of roti, kulcha, luchi, naan etc. usually).
