Wages of Violence: Naming and Identity in Postcolonial Bombay
Thomas Blom Hansen
When Bombay changed its name to Mumbai in 1995, it was the culmination of a long process that transformed India's primary symbol of modernity and cultural diversity into a site of ethnic conflict and violent nationalism. This is an account of how the city's atmosphere, dominant public languages, and power structures have changed since 1960s.
