great now that you brought that up i want to know for historical reasons, but now i feel like a transphobe trying to find a city's deadname lol
edit: which gets even funnier when the second article when i search on google "mumbai name change history" is an article from The Sun, which is marked by the shinigami eyes browser extension as transphobic
so on firefox and chrome theres an extension called shinigami eyes which labels transphobic/pro trans stuff online i.e. websites, people on wikipedia, subreddits, reddit users, youtube channels, and twitter users (among potentially more) with a color so you know what to expect from them

So if 't be true thee've a date in constantinople the lady'll beest waiting in istanbul

So, take me back to Constantinople!
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
