Hi, The state government has taken the right decision to rename Bangalore to Bengalooru. It is nice to get back to original name which has Kannada flavour. When all other cities changed their names there was no problem. This question has cropped up now just because Kannadigas are ever accomodative? Did you all raise such a hue and cry when Madras was changed to Chennai or Bombay to Mumbai? The argument of many is abt the brand Bangalore taking a beating. This new name would be accepted by all and the brand would become brand BengaLooru. I also see that most of the Kannadigas would want the name change. But only the migrated population who do not have any idea abt the kannada culture, language, heritage, history would want it to remain as Bangalore. I request the migrated population to respect the local sentiments and get into the mainstream of the local culture. And the name change is also a step to induce the kannadiga pride into all the kannadigas in Karnataka. Sirigannadam Gelge Sirigannadam Balge.
