Why did we have to change the name of the ‘Indian Subcontinent’ to ‘South Asia’? Then why should we not change the name of ‘Indian Ocean’ to say ‘South Asian Ocean? Better still, we could change it to ‘Chindian Ocean’ since China is going to rule the world in any case. But then what happens to the hurt feelings of America’s beloved Pakistan? If Barack Obama has his way, then we should name it ChinPak Ocean. This way the Obama administration can please both of its non-NATO allies. Have we not forgotten the omni-present Thackeray & Thackeray of Mumbai, the island nation of Marathi-manus? They (Bal & Raj) would rather have it named ‘Chatrapati Shivaji Maha Sagar’. Who amongst these contenders should prevail? If we do not agree to China’s claim, they might grab Arunachal Pradesh. If on the other hand Pakistan’s feelings are not taken into consideration, they may once again claim the whole of Jammu & Kashmir. Please do not forget, these days nothing moves without a nod from Barack Obama! But the name must change since the world does not like anything Indian, except its vast consumer market. Just THINK about it!
