Bengaluru! WTF?

[preets]

I so very disapprove of Bangalore being renamed as "Bengaluru"!
And bull crap the 'u' vowel distinguishes our language as per the great Jnanpith Award winner, Mr.You-Are-A-Jobless-Freaku-Ananthmurthy!
The man also adds "By adding the ‘u,’ even words like chair-u and table-u become KannadaWTF? what was he even thinking when he made such a

Im toying with the idea of filing a PIL..but I dunno if it will work?

[preets]

i'm not too sure about this...but i wouldnt mind supporting this.

yo madam, what the fuck? i'll tell you what the fuck really is. The fuck is your thought. You didn't even get the new name right. it's Bengalooru, not Bengaluru. there is nothing wrong in changing the name to reflect what it really is. if some thirdworld shit piece can't get around to pronounce it, that's when you should say "what the fuck?"

[preets]

Excuse me!?? i very much got the spelling right here. i'd suggest you to go reread the newspapers. as of now the news is it would be renamed as "Bengaluru" as our dear old CM spelt it. but i wouldnt be surprised if they again rename that also to "Bengalooru" or "Bendakalooru" or whatever to suit your sentiments.

i give a rat's ass to that as of now. and that was NOT my point here anyway.

[manjlanata]

now I got it, you must have read, like a fool of course, that fucking times of india and blabbing your ass off which sure is bigger than rat's but equals it in ranting, to use your own word, bull crap.

you know what pissed me off the most on this fucking entry of yours? the idiotic lol and rotfl replies you have been giving everytime some idiot supports you.

here's what I would like you to do. shut the fuck up on your LJ.

[preets]

Dude! again what is wrong with you? if you have a problem with TOI i dont care. and dont assume stuff here alright? and FYI go read any newspaper you want they'd have said "Bengaluru". Hope this shuts you up.

also, if you cannot appreciate that sense of humour, again not my problem. please yourself by staying pissed.

Quick answer, no.
When have you known India, or rather the people governing India, to be interested in something unless it were for its "vote bank" value. Ofcourse as a side-effect, if it were a good thing, then hey, more reason for them to try to get even more mileage out of it.

We, understand, what this was for what it was. Unfortunately, most of Karnataka won't.

So again, the answer to your last sentence is an final and conclusive, no.

The name change came to me as a shock. Of course I am no way related to Karnataka except that it is a state in my nation. Now, let's analyze a bit about this name change
