Though I hate most to change the names, but I agree with the Karnataka Govt to change the name. Recently I heard on US TV program that foriegn aliens should adjust to their culture, environment, and should speak only in English not any other language. If you agree with them, then why should not the Indians (state or central) stick to the great indian culture and original names.
I will support the Government and people to change the name and culture so the regional language/culture gets the prominance.
