You know whats stupid about Bengaluru it should be Bende kaLe uru in the first place and even that is a sily name ... It is just a place where Kempe Gowda was offered boiled beans by an old woman or some story like that . There is far more justification for Mumbai Kolkata and Channai ...
Kolkata is derived from - KaliKata - Kali Ghat from the Kali Temple Mumbai is derived from Mumba Devi temple
Chennai is derived from Chenna Keshava Temple and Chenna Malleshwara temple and it name therefore became Chenna patnam.
If Mysore is called Mahisana ooru it is fine .
Its foolish to rename to something which is a frivolous name given by a local chieftain to an insignificant village . The british did good by renaming it and Dharam Singh who can't do anything good is doing what he best can ... renaming a great city. He should probably build the Airport and flyovers before this ... Being a Banglorean for all my life I feel a strong sense of dismay at where all this i s going to lead to.....
