Calcutta chatter

In the recent past (last five years or so), the communist state government in West Bengal has started changing names of prominent streets, in Calcutta. I haven't a clue why. In my opinion, the older names have historical significance and are nicer. I dont mind the new names, but they will take time getting used to and I just think there was no real need for the name-changes. I have listed all the ones I could find/ remember. You decide for yourself...
