Indian state Orissa will known as Odisha in future. And its mother language will known as Odia. Mr.P.Chidambaram, union home minister will introduce a bill regarding this matter today.
Orissa state assembly had passed a bill in 2008 and moved to Indian parliament for its approval. So long lasting waiting of odishi people are coming truth to throw their state and language name which given by british govt.
The proposed change will now require an amendment to the first and eighth schedule of the Constitution which is likely to come up in Parliament soon.
The Orissa assembly had moved a resolution in August to change the state's name to Odisha and its official language from Oriya to Odia, saying the names had been used wrongly. Chief minister Naveen Patnaik moved the resolution in the House which was approved by a voice vote.
Officials said the state was keen to change its name owing to disparities in pronunciation due to the wrong spelling of the state's name. It is written as Udisa in Hindi and Orissa in English.
Major cities that have been renamed after Independence include Kanpur (formerly Cawnpore), Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), Mumbai (Bombay), Chennai (Madras), Kolkata (Calcutta), Pune (Poona) and Kochi (Cochin).
