the name change is just a start. More needs to be done. Enforce in a virulent way the usage of kannada in day-to-day life. We have to get away from the yoke of hindi and english. English is ok as an alternate acceptable language. Never hindi.
The government cannot do anything. The people should decide and stop helping people who dont speak kannada. Slowly but surely, everyone would learn kannada. For those visiting the city, we can offer translational services.
Those who are unwilling to learn kannada can leave the city. No need to force them out. Just make life so difficult for them that they just leave by themselves. Very similar to the way the hindi hailers were driven out of chennai. Today TN is more developed because its people were developed. Again because they got an opportunity during the 60s to drive those who cant speak tamil out of the state. In essense even in business meetings people are comfortable wearing dhothis. Big local industries grew because they had space to grow. If things dont change, bengaluru will become like mumbai and kannadigas like marathi manus. Nothing in their own hands. Beggers in their own place. The choice is bet TN & Maha.

Bull shit! Bluff of the Century!!! No one ditched no other but few extreme elements in the state for which bangalore alias bengaloru is capital. Had uttered like how westerners describe INDIA to be a land of snakes and maharajas. Nothing happened/happens in TN or Maharhastra (except one that sivasenas did once) something described like a wild creature mid of the woods.
Dear pidari has to come out of his little circut and see what's happening around. But dont know how is clear only to understand and tell the industrial developments happening there in these places.
One Important thing. It's globalizing world. It is foolishness to tell only natives for the native. No one is the lord of any part. It was once when this great land of India had only few languages(only 3-4) for her people. Communication being merely non-existence those days, these few languages splited and morphed to many...
Here is a simple thing to understand. The basic script of Aha (the very first lr) is same for both Hindi and Tamil. To do it practically and see from your own eyes, just write down the letter of both languages aside and see.
This land is unsafe bze of such like Narrow minded
