The "--llywood" naming scheme is of foreign origin with
respect to Bharat:
Excerpt:
In 1853, one adobe hut stood in Nopalera (Nopal field),
named for the Mexican Nopal cactus indigenous to the area.
By 1870, an agricultural community flourished. The area was
known as the Cahuenga Valley, after the pass in the Santa
Monica Mountains immediately to the north.
According to the diary of H. J. Whitley, also known as the
"Father of Hollywood", on his honeymoon in 1886 he stood at
the top of the hill looking out over the valley. Along came
a Chinese man in a wagon carrying wood. The man got out of
the wagon and bowed. The Chinese man was asked what he was
doing and replied, "I holly-wood," meaning 'hauling wood.'
H. J. Whitley had an epiphany and decided to name his new
town Hollywood. "Holly" would represent England and "wood"
would represent his Scottish heritage. Whitley had already
started over 100 towns across the western United
States.[6][7]

Filmmaker Subhash Ghai's objection to the "Bollywood"
moniker is shared by many in Mumbai. My own relatives and
friends in the Bharatiya movie industry resent the term to
the extent that they avoid "Hollywood" to refer to the one
in Los Angeles. The colonial cloud will lift eventually, if
not in our lifetime.

Wellington in New Zealand is often nicknamed "Wellywood" due to movies
like 'Lord of the Rings' and being the main location for the visual
effects company Weta. The west area of Auckland city is also nicknamed
"Westiewood" due to many TV shows and movies being made there
(including at one stage the 'Power Rangers' stuff)
If some numbnut wants to whine about a name (and obviously has nothing
better to do) and doesn't want India to be known as a movie-making
country, then that's fine with me ... they're all utter crap movies
anyway.

The "Defend Arindam" (working title) project continues to
