Sometimes, it beats me when governments decide to rename cities. How does it make a difference if Madras is called as Chennai or Bangalore as Bengaluru? Everybody seems to be perturbed by the Englishised version of the names of cities, but not about the overall development. We should be concentrating on creating a better city for a better tomorrow. Will the charismatic influence of Bangalore be scaled to new heights just by renaming it to Bengaluru? Life certainly does not change if Bangalore is Bengaluru or even Benda Kaalu!
In what way will it effect the Bangloreans even if you rename the city's spelling.
A group of enterpreneurs made Banglore prominent on the world IT map. Its time to get out of this POLITICAL GIMMICKS, solving no purposes and THINK SERIOUSLY on development of the City like Roads, Sanitation, Garbage etc. BTW will renaming Banglore get new business to the city.
Hope GOOD SENSE prevails on Karnatakas Hon. Ministers.
Mr. Chief Minster, please stop all this unproductive activites, Bangalore sounds so good and has become world famous for its IT services and Name too, Please stop this identity change.
There is a serious mistake by renaming Bombay & Madras and Calcutta.
dont please dont ruin this identity crisis for political gains.
I would like to request the Chief Minister of Karnataka to spend the money that he would be spending on changing the name on the infrastructure of Bangalore, how ever small the amount may be. Tamailnad, Maharashtra and West Bengal ( Even China by changing the name Peking to Beijing ) have not achieved anything by changing the name of the capital. All these stupid regional language litterateurs are all well frogs and cannot see beyond their nose.
Mr Dharam Singh...Please do it fast...we can not wait...please ..please..Please...do it fast..Please change the name of city...We all know, the moment you change the name, all the major issues like transportation, electricity and water supply will be resolved...Bengalure will become the paradise for investors...City will get new airport..roads will be broaden and clean..24 * 7 electricity...so please change the name.... Mr Dharam Singh...Change your name also...who knows you would be a PM soon... and with such administration, u can make India a SuperPower
even after naming madras as chennai the state is having as much problems as u have said as any other state why relate renaming to development,all u people who oppose renaming are non-kannadigas who know nothing about kannada,but enjoy ur stay in bengaluru without even trying to learn local language.
The bigger challenge for the government is to rename rather than manage the infrastructure problems of the city. That indeed is the task of Wipro, Infosys and other IT big wigs in Bangalore.

Mr SSS,
Can tell me your name meaning??? If you call any object or any person there should be some meaning. So what is the meaning of India? Bharat is having some proper meaning like that we are trying to remove a "apabramsha" of bengaluru which is Bangalore. We want to be what actually we are. You are thinking about the Money getting waste on this thing right? Have you ever worried about the money wasting in other things? For a MP/year why you are not opposing such things? Renaming Bangalore to Bengaluru is good thing money is not wasting here it is being utilized for good reason. Dont say if you plow some seeds in lad as waste u will get its result after some time you need to wait.
Real cool news. Indeed this is pending since years. Why not call what the actual name of the city instead of calling what the brits called the kannada city - bengalooru.
