I was shocked when I saw the newspaper this morning. After changing the name of Bangalore to Bangalooru, the government here has changed the names for the rest of the cities within the state. The list goes like this; Mangalore will be Mangalooru, Mysore Mysooru, Hubli to Huballi, Gulbarga becomes Kalburgi and Belgaum will soon be called Belagaavi. God! This is so ridiculous; New names for all major cities within Karnataka! Changing the names of these cities can prove quite lethal to the economy of the state. People don’t understand the market stands and continue to change the names all because they want Karnataka as their local possession. The name change effects are going to happen next year around November. I seriously don’t want to be called a Bangalooru jackass! Do cast your views here. I would also like to know international comments on changing the name of the IT Capital of India, Bangalore.
