Names of Indian places in Around the World in Eighty Days

These are the place names in India from Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days.

Makes me think, someone has gone ahead and changed the names from the original English names to the names that we are familiar with today, and it is this set of "British names" that are now being changed again to more local versions.
