INDIA as BHARAT

Delhi, Bombay (now Mumbai), Madras (now Chennai) and Calcutta (now Kolkata) are the 4 Major Cities in India.
These cities was officially renamed,
Bombay (Portuguese name) to Mumbai in 1995
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai),
Madras (Portuguese name) to Chennai in 1996
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai),
Calcutta (it's official English name) to Kolkata in 2001
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata).

Also some of the historic places such as,

Victoria Terminus, Bombay renamed to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Mumbai
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chhatrapati_Shivaji_Terminus),
Flora Fountain, Bombay renamed as Hutatma Chowk, Mumbai
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutatma_Chowk
to erase the legacy of British rule.

Do Government Of India have that much of GUTS that it will rename Delhi as DILLI and the most important India as BHARAT?
