Chennai or Madras?

Madras was renamed as Chennai long ago. In the year 1996 to be exact. But, even in india many still remember this city as Madras.

Here in Sweden, When i say to my friends that i come from Chennai, they usually give me a ignorant look.and when i clarify that it was once called Madras, they seem to be surprised.  They still know this city as Madras.
Several Sweden based websites are still  stuck with Madras.

So, the next time you are in Sweden, you know what to say!!
