The Khaleej Times and the Chronicle of Higher Education (subscription required) report that organizations in Bangalore threatened to stage a protest in front of the local office of Oxford Press Union tomorrow and burn copies of the latest edition of the Concise Dictionary of World Place Names.

Oxford University Press has suspended publication of the dictionary and apologized for the errors.
