There were some minor changes done to the name of the Phantom s location and some characters in stories published in Indrajal Comics The term Bengali or Bengalla or Bengal was changed to Denkali and in some issues Dangalla as well This was since there is a state called Bengal in India and this may lead the readers to wonder about the Pygmy people that don t exist in Bengal The name of the Singh Brotherhood was changed to Singa Brotherhood and the killer of the father of the current 21st Phantom was changed from Rama to Ramalu although the latter too is one of the common names in India Apart from English.
