RE:RE:Belgav by Manjunath Srikantiah on Feb 20, 2008 07:06 PM  Permalink You should also note that Mahajan commission said that it is impractical to split as the surronding areas near the border has majority kannada population.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Belgav by Gowda on Feb 20, 2008 06:50 PM  Permalink Belagavi is intergral part of karnataka.. MES creating non-sense. Muncipal is not ruled by MES. Karnataka ppl are generous enough to allow marathis in local bodies and now this is wot they are upto...    Forward   |   Report abuse

RE:RE:Belagaum. by --- on Feb 20, 2008 06:43 PM  Permalink Apparently not. There is a Sholapur in Maharashtra as there is Nagpur. Both these places end with "Pur" or "pura" (or ur/ooru). There should be a subject called "Know your India" where they teach everyone about the different places. I am not talking about Geography/History here because they do not teach anything about specific places. This subject should also include languages, culture and historical importance of places too.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Belagaum. by --- on Feb 20, 2008 06:52 PM  Permalink Yes, you are right. There are "Ur/Pur" in the north as well as the south. Bijapur and Anantapur are examples Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:RE:RE:Belagaum. by nasty on Feb 20, 2008 06:48 PM  Permalink 'pur' in north and 'uru' 'ur' in south are one and same... though we have our own ste of 'pur's in south too... Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Belagaum. by --- on Feb 20, 2008 06:36 PM  Permalink The fixation is with "Uru", not "Luru". Actually you find this everywhere - Coimbatore, Kanpur, Bangalore, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur. Uru or Ooru means place/town/city. Hosur is another example. It means new place    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:RE:Belagaum. by --- on Feb 20, 2008 06:39 PM  Permalink Then the other fixation is with the "bad" - Hyderabad, Secunderbad, Ahmedabad, Adilabad and so on. There is also a Patna/Patnam/Pattinam fixation too. Nagapattinam, Shrirangapatna are examples along with Patna itself    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Belagaum. by nasty on Feb 20, 2008 06:47 PM  Permalink @--- minor correction.. it is not 'bad' it is 'abad' like in Adil-abad Secunder(Sikander)-abad Hyder-abad Ahmed-abad where in 'abad' stands for 'long live' Forward   |   Report abuse
