No ... US cannot and will not force India to change Its City names because it has no jurisdiction over it ... India is no little Banana republic that the US can dictate terms to .. BTW , your pertinent background about these groups being linked to Al Qaeda and 08 Attacks (not bombings !) is completely false and baseless .. plz do more research before posting such questions .. what is Google for ?

It's their country they can name it what they want. Should we get pressure from other countries for stuff like that? England? France?
