The state government of Karnataka announced the renaming of Bangalore and 11 other cities in Kannada, coinciding with Karnataka's 59th formation day. The decision was approved by the central government and includes well-known cities like Mysore, Mangalore, and Belgaum. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah expressed pride in pronouncing the names of these cities in Kannada at a cultural event, with plans to rename more cities in the future. While many locals already use the Kannada versions of the city names, some feel nostalgic about the loss of Bangalore's Anglican charm. We must accept and adapt to the changes. The term "Bangalored" was first used by US Secretary of State John Kerry in 2008 to illustrate how Indian software companies were taking American tech jobs due to outsourcing. Other states like Maharashtra have already renamed cities, such as Bombay to Mumbai and Madras to Chennai. Karnataka started renaming cities in 2006 to honor its golden jubilee and show respect for people's sentiments. During the previous BJP administration, the state legislature also approved this decision. The state government will issue instructions on Monday for corporations, departments, and institutions to modify their nameplates and stationery accordingly. Chief Secretary Kaushik Mukherjee stated that private companies or organizations are not required to change their registered names if they mention any of the 12 cities.
