—== Kolkata or Calcutta ==
The anglicised form Calcutta was the official name until 2001, when it was changed to Kolkata in order to match Bengali pronunciation.Easwaran, Kenny. "The politics of name changes in India".

I have not looked for previous discussions/consensus on if if we should use the name Calcutta or Kolkata when reporting on events that occurred before 2001. These include her birth, and when she fled the Taliban in 1995. -- Marc Kupper| talk 22:20, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
In the same way, Sushmita Banerjee should be changed to Sayeda Kamala. In case you want to use her previous name you should use it in this way Sayeda Kamala (then known as Calcutta). I have 179 reliable sources which cite that she had changed her name long back. Hence it would be unethical, immoral and illogical to use her old name to address her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saumya.purkayastha ( talk • contribs) 13:06, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

I will not allow something completely defamatory, illegal, immoral and unethical to happen in Wikipedia by any rogue user. There is no person called Sushmita Banerjee. She had changed her name a long back. If you do not accept to the fact that she changed her name due to communal or other reasons, it is indeed shameful. Below are the authentic sources which prove the same. There is NO EXISTING SOURCE which disputes the fact that she had changed her name to Sayeda Kamala. Hence any other edit to this will be termed as illogical, unethical and immoral with reasons with vested interests. http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/south-asia/taliban-deny-hand-in-indian-authors-killing/article5100596.ece http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/504240/20130906/sushmita-banerjee-shot-dead-taliban-afghanistan-militants.htm http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=187400 http://www.deccanherald.com/content/355663/bring-body-back-pleads-slain.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saumya.purkayastha ( talk • contribs) 13:08, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
