translate English to German: In 1995, the Shiv Sena , a Hindu nationalist party, which was the ruling party in the government of the state of Maharashtra (of which Bombay was capital) decided to change Bombay's official name into its Marathi name, Mumbai, claiming that the name Bombay is a corrupted form of the original name Mumbai connoting the pre-independence British influence.
Der Name Mumbai wird von der örtlichen Bevölkerung schon genauso lange verwendet und der regionalen Göttin Mumbadevi zugeschrieben.
