Well happy to see the so called and so "Introduced" "Duronto Express" to turn into normal ac express trains.
Iam not a bengali , neither my crores of other friends are.....In that case , Why should I accept my YPR-DEE or LTT-Maq ( :v ) ac express trains as the so named "duronto express " -_-

Its just a name ! By that yardstick all non-Hindi speaking Indians should also reject 'Rajdhani', 'Shatabdi, 'Jansadharan', 'Jan-Shatabdi' trains :)
Hindi okay, Bangla not okay! Cholbe na babu moshai :)

Hindi is okay because we Indians call it as "Our national Language" but bengali is not okay beacause it is just a vernacular language of some part of India

We can call it 'our national language' but officially it does not have any higher status than any other recognized language of India. A lot of Indians, including IRI members, might find it highly objectionable to treat Hindi at a higher level than Bengali, or any other Indian language for that matter.

Well it's politics I will say. Regarding naming of any train in their local language is not bad as we all are indian. However I will like to comment on the other aspect of what you said buddy, why all duronto being changed to AC express, it shows one thing clearly that planning and feasibility study were not done and these trains were just launched so that political gain can be made.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
