[edit] True spelling of Kachchh

True and official spelling of Kachchh is Kachchh. This spelling is also correct to its pronunciation. Spelling Kutch was in use during british rule. User Captainktainer has changed my editings for correct spelling mentioning that it is giving problem with established style. I would like to know what is the established style? When, where and how this style is established? and why it is giving problem for using correct spelling of Kachchh. I insist to use of spelling Kachchh. pruthvi 18:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Check the spellings in all of the article sources. All but one source has the name of the district as Kutch. As such, Kutch is the appropriate terminology to use. Captainktainer * Talk 05:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

They are external links not the source. The web-site are from private organisation and bear little relevance to article. Postal Department is most concerned with spelling of place. First web-site mentioned below is official web-site of postal department of India. I have also mentioned other government agency and reliable sources showing spelling of Kachchh.

1. Official document from Postal Department of India (See page 214 third line from below)
2. United Nations' official website (See sr. no. 9 in first table)
3. article in Nature (title of article in a peer reviewed science journal)
4. Official portal of Government of India(Check first paragraph).
