Sandeep,

It’s news to me that Kalburgi is the original for Gulbarga. I have never ever seen it printed in Kannada or heard anyone refer to it thus. I shd know because I had this colleague in Bangalore – oops! Bengalooru – named Kalburgi! As for the rest what’s wrong? But then icing by itself is no substitute for the cake. Just as the pseudo-scholars of Tamizh in TN (mostly of the “Dravidian” sort) who know little beyond alliteration and double-entendre have played form instead of content; Kannada zealots are now monkeying around with the culture! Irli bidu kaanu!

Ditto Sandeep. I dunno what will this stupid Kumaraswamy get out of renaming Bangalore. Its actually a farce. They all want to work for the poor and downtrodden and they all suck. Keep writing!

CommentaryA Farce, Implemented”And the damn ‘name change’ is not even a name change. It is a mere change in its (English) spelling.”, says Sandeep where he seriously questions if the priorities for the policy makers are screwed in a big way.

quite the furore in the Desi blogging world with reference to the proposed name change for Bangalore. Or rather, the-name-change-that-has-been-announced-but-requires- legal-sanction-to-ratify-it. Assuming our moribund government lasts that long. Sandeep
