Bangalore is set to go back to it's original name of Bengalooru starting 1 Nov, 2006. That's going to start off a huge debate about whether this is necessary or not. I personally don't have any strong views on either side, but why only Bangalore? The popular reason quoted by the ay-sayers will be that of getting rid of the anglicization done during the colonial rule and going back to the cultural root. Without being specific to any culture or region, I'd argue that if you really want to change the name then change ALL the names. I don't think anybody has a convincing reason to justify why only select cities' names should be changed.
