Puducherry
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
Puducherry, which used to be called Pondicherry is a Union Territory of India. Pondicherry is divided into four separate parts, which are not connected to each other: Pondicherry, Karaikal, Yanam, and Mahé.
These four areas are under one name because they were all once ruled by the French. When India took control of them, they took them in as one territory.
Pondicherry is going through a name change to Puduchery, which means "new village" in the local language.
