The British called Kanpur as Cawnpore, Meruth as Meerut, Masuri as Mussoorie, Ambala as Umbala, Karnal as Kernal, Shimla as Simla and Otocomond as Ooty. I was happy to see in Italy all the English sounding names being related in local terms Roma for Rome, Firenze for Florence and Venizia for Venice. The English had learnt to do in Rome as the Romans did! Much early than they did in DEHLI...Ooops DELHI.
