Commendable observations, Andrew, and perhaps an implied clarion call
for Goans to fight this insidious trend towards ghastly "un-Goan" toponymy.
Incidentally, it might have been more sensitive and politic to title the
article differently, i.e., with something other than the expression
"Rechristening", as it is redolent of religious connotations in a
universe that is secular, or, at least, not as Christian!
I acknowledge that "christening" has a more innocent synonymity but
isn't it predominantly so in the English-speaking Western world?
