Linguistic nationalism or the phenomenon of changing words for the purpose of cultural control is pointless.
There are nationalist movements in both France and India to change foreign words and substitute local ones. This is a ploy by a small minority to change memory and it will not work. Silly people you cannot substitute such words as Couriel for Email. It just doesn't work and you should not try. Similarly the Indians tried changing the city of Bangalore to Bengalaru. This is equally stupid. Place names are a part of memory and no amount of name modification can change that. People should wake up to this nonsense.
