Much discussion in the The Corner about “Mumbai” vs. “Bombay.” Having spent much time in that city, I can also report that in my experience the taxi drivers have no idea what “Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus” is, but they’re happy to take you to Victoria Terminus.

Another thing about Bombay: Everybody to the right of John Kerry gets denounced as a “fascist” in U.S. politics (I think somebody wrote a book about that, in part) but Bombay is a city governed by a genuine fascist party, the Shiv Sena, complete with a kooky cartoonist-founder.If you want to see what 21st century fascism really looks like, the Shiv Sena isn’t a bad place to start.
