the name change is just a start. More needs to be done. Enforce in a virulent way the usage of kannada in day-to-day life. We have to get away from the yoke of hindi and english. English is ok as an alternate acceptable language. Never hindi.
The government cannot do anything. The people should decide and stop helping people who dont speak kannada. Slowly but surely, everyone would learn kannada. For those visiting the city, we can offer translational services.
Those who are unwilling to learn kannada can leave the city. No need to force them out. Just make life so difficult for them that they just leave by themselves. Very similar to the way the hindi hailers were driven out of chennai. Today TN is more developed because its people were developed. Again because they got an opportunity during the 60s to drive those who cant speak tamil out of the state. In essense even in business meetings people are comfortable wearing dhothis. Big local industries grew because they had space to grow. If things dont change, bengaluru will become like mumbai and kannadigas like marathi manus. Nothing in their own hands. Beggers in their own place. The choice is bet TN & Maha.
