Bengaluru: Yes

Bangalore is the latest city
to have its name changed.

Renaming coincides with celebrations.
Bombay became Mumbai;

Madras changed to Chennai;
Calcutta to Kolkata; Poona to Pune;

Trivandrum to Thiruvananthapuram;
Pondicherry to Puducherry;

Orissa to Odisha. Belgaum became
Belagavi — before renaming cities

was mooted, put on the back burner
–even as demands cropped up,

making it a list.
