As a Bangalorean for 17 years now, I think Dharam Singh needs to concentrate on more pressing matters like infrastructure rather than on changes that are purely cosmetic in nature, like renaming the city. And how insecure can Kannadigas get? First, non-Kannada films are targetted, now they want a new name for the city, the list will always be endless. If you want to embrace the global village and yet retain what is intrinsic to you, the way to go about it is not by changing the name of your city; it's by getting out there right in the middle of that global village and proving your mettle, showcasing your talent and heritage, protecting your tradition and values and not closing yourself to the outside world. All I can say to the Kannadigas, and indeed to the rest of India that is clamouring for similar trivialities is "Grow up and get a life!"
