Guest guest Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Dear Sateeshji, These are the correct co-ordinates which you have mentioned.Thane is a suburb of Bombay, and 15 kilometres away from the center of Bombay, towards North. The local trains are there which ply from the main VT station to Thane. These expert politicians are there to spoil the names prevalent from the olden times which we were familiar with. Poona to Pune. Thana to Thane. Bombay to Mumbai. Madras to Chennai. Calcutta to Kolkata. Very funny, but we have to live with them, and the confusions and hocus pocus they cause. regards, Bhaskar. , " Sateesh Batas " <makaras wrote: > > > Ah, it seems " Thana " was the former name - and the Coordinates appear to be very similar to Bombay's. > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thane > > > I get 72e58 and 19n12 > > Can someone advise if this is correct for Thane? > > Thanks. > > ======== > > > - > Sateesh Batas > Satva101 ; Jyotish Group > Tuesday, August 21, 2007 8:01 AM > Coordinates for Thane (India) > > > > Dear Lists, > > Does anyone know the exact coordinates for a place called THANE, which is apparently near Bombay? > > Thanks - Sateesh. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What moronic ignorance! " Olden times " ?? The Brit Raj, which had to anglicize the aforementioned names to lessen their pronunciation difficulties, reigned in our country for 90 years from 1857.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 dear PJ, The olden days were different, with refrence to language.Today is different. We have been born with familiarity to certain names, and dont You think " Mumbai " sounds funnier than " Bombay " on the world atlas ? Has not the faux-paus of " Thane " created some trouble to members here ? If that much faithfulness is there to the " Olden " and " Indian " then shouldnt we all be wearing Dhotis and Kurtas and conversing on Forums in Sanskrit or Hindi ? Sir,preaching and practicing are entirely different and so is the practicability of certain matters. The Moderator has wisely stepped in and asked us to concentrate on astrological issues, which we should be discussing , and not this. My reply to the intended member was finished, there was no need to elongate this matter by You. I hope you would concentrate on astrology, in future. And next time you may call India as " Bharat' as in time of Raja Parikshit or " Hindu Kush " as in times of Alexander the Great, but do not call it India, which also is the corrupted and modified name from the original.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Dear PJ The true ignorance of our History is exhibited by your statement " reigned in our country for 90 years from 1857 " . 1857 was the year of our first war of independence from the Raj and not the beginning of Raj.

If it's Mumbai, it's Mumbai. And no, it's no funnier than Bombay - or Prague or Budapest, for example. The Aussies and Brits I work with routinely pronounce my name with a silly-sounding accent.
