    India : why change only names of cities why not the laws ?
    Are we still citizens of colony called India, controlled by indians for indians.


    Our politicians always tell us that this city name is given by british people ,so we change it
    then why our politicians dont change the laws made by the british empire for the slave colony called india.
    Mejority indian laws are made by british people in india and we are still following them.
    Please take the bare acts,law books and you will know it.
    I will give you few examples :
    Payment of Wages Act, 1936
    Aircraft Act, 1934 along with allied Rules
    Bankers's Books Evidence Act, 1891
    Cantonments Act, 1924

    Weekly Holidays Act, 1942
    Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 along with Rules, 1924 (Transfer of Money) Rules, 1935 and (Venue of Proceedings) Rules, 1996

    After independance our law makers have made very few amendments to these laws.
    Our law makers ,politicians change the names of cities ,Bombay is now Mumbai ,Madras is
    now Chennai ,then why dont they change the laws made by the british empire for india .
    They say by using old names we are insulted, if this is so why then we are still using there law books?
    with few amendments ?
    give you hint:
    If suddenly one day you become owner
    of profit making company or nation will you change the rules of the company when company rules make you god of the company.
    Hope next time when any political leader ask you to change the name of city ?
    hope someone will dare to ask if why not first change the law system and law books given by
    british empire
