Magic the Gathering decided to change the name of one of their worlds from "Kaladesh" to "Avishkar" because "Kala" means "Black" in some obscure Hindi dialect and as we all know the Blacks are too horrible to mention (even inadvertently in an obscure dialect).

However, Avishkar is already the name of an Indian film about an unhappy marriage.

Also the "Kaladesh" content came out years ago and nobody was mad about it
