A request to the Kannadiga Politicians

Please change the name of Mangalore to Mengaluru, coz it will help retain our Indian culture as we are pure kannadigas here. Thank you

Mr Abdul, Please don't say like "go back to your state".You please go back to your Country. We are INDIANS. You are Anti Social saying like this.It's the Govt who will decide Mangalore or Mengaluru, not the dictaors like in Pakistan.
We INDIANS are well educated not only Karnataka. Try to learn from Histroy.

The topic is on not changing the name of the city. People who come here for bread & try to create rift among the locals should be shown the Raj way. BTW I am a proud Indian.

I don't think it is ever possible for a person who comes for bread to divide people.

And it is sad to see that this city has not yet developed and you guys have already started deciding on a name change like what happened in bangalore / bombay. Note that Bangalore / Bombay were better before the name changes happened.

If you are really cultured, it will show in the city irrespective of the name the city has. With these demands, you are actually showing your lack of culture.

Also, what do you mean by outsiders? were your forefathers in mangalore ever since the first human being was born? I think not. So, obviously, at some point, you are also an outsider.

Just FYI, the Tulu name for Mangalore is Kudla. Again just FYI, Tulu is the local language spoken in and around Mangalore
