This is a welcome decision from the Government of Karnataka. If Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, Trivandrum,Cochin and dozens of other towns and cities in Kerala can revert back to their original names - WHY NOT BANGALORE
Let us shed off the yoke of colonialism and pride ourselves with our indigenous identity.
Smile oh my Bengaluru - You have reclaimed your real identity after remaining incognito for over two centuries.
It it high time New Delhi and India too get their due.

Then rename it as Kannadaooru. If you call it Bengal-uru, Bengalis can spin yarn saying that once upon a time a Bengali king ruled this city. They may also take credit saying that in recognition of their services, it has been renamed thus. As "ooru" is more common in Tamilnadu, Tamils can claim this city quoting facts and figures which cannot be disputed.
