Bangalore or Bengaluru ?

Its the latest passtime in Bangalore. To get into an discussion on the change of name of the city from Bangalore to Bengaluru.

Well, I feel its a good step. One, the name symbolizes the way we call our city. And it would be great if everyone calls it by the same name. The problem with us Indians is that we havent yet given up the british legacy. They could not twist their tongues and spell Indian cities, so went on changing the names to suit their needs. And we even after independence didnt think of changing back the name of their cities. Until, Bal Thackrey woke up a good 50 years after independence, to restore Mumbai its name. As soon as he did this, everyone woke up, and changed the names of other cities too.

Now coming to the latest controversy, the name Bangalore has become a brand in itself. Its inspired the word "Bangalored" in the US, meaning your job has been outsourced. What will happen to that brand name ?

We, as native indians should support the move wholehearetdly and stop thinking about what will outsiders think about this move.

And, get ready for more changes in the names of city.
