With the supreme court order to shift banglore name to Bengaluru
after 68 years of the state’s formation, the IT city dwellers have a mixed
opinion ranging from losing an internationally acquired repute of city to IT
ians moving away from the city because of its name. Many are giving a communal
element to the change in name promoting awareness of swadeshi.
Well Madras has become Chennai, Bombay has changed to Mumbai
and Trivandrum has changed its name to Thiruvananthapuram. So there is no need
of a concern for the city dwellers for business will resume as usual. However, I would like to ask the politicians
who campaigned for the change in name one question.
If our indian president can still stay in a mansion designed
by britisher, indian passengers still use the railways left by the british rule
and even our indian laws are still british in nature which we all depend on,
then what lies in a name which the british has left behind. What is important
is developing and repealing the exisitng system and the name of the city is not
at all a matter of prime importance.
