Dear cv yes I agree with u on some aspects but let us not forget the presence of the Brave Thumbi Regiment which came with the English to rid of Tipu to make you "peaceful" kannadiga a happy and "rich" man. Madras Sappers, the Madras Engineering Group has completed 225 years in Bangalore and is firmly in place in Ulsoor.They have lent support everywhere in the world.
Why could you Kannadigas not form something to come close to that honoured regiment, in 225 years, other than fighting with every neighbour, including your own be it Coorg or Uttara Kannada. Irli bidi, solpa adjust maadi - the new tower on Hudson Circle is a very wrong thing, an aberration, that was the right place for a massive subway, like Churchgate, to ease congestion. Is this what Visvewarayya desired?
If you see the subway of "Little India Station" at Singapore you will understand, how that government has honoured Indian history and motifs-for posterity -forever in stone. Kempegowda made human sized towers. All our politicians, mayors and their meanderings abroad have not brought back an iota of the goodness what is thought of India as a whole.Good wishes Indian
