Many airports in India that had previously geographically-based names have been renamed for political reasons.
Delhi Palam is now Indira Gandhi, which is fairly understandable.
Bombay Sahar (intl) and Santa Cruz (domestic) are now collectively called Chatrapati Shivaji Airport, so now you have to tell drivers which terminal you want to go to. Renaming has just made things more complex.
Calcutta Dum Dum is now Netaji Shubash Chandra Bose, another mouthful when Dum Dum rolled off the tongue so well.
