It's new official name is, or will be, Bangaluru*, pronounced
[bVNg@lu:rU].

* transliterated from its spelling in Kannada.

<sigh> Not another re-naming of a city.

We don't insist that the French stop calling London "Londres" or England
"Angleterre". The Germans don't make official edicts saying from now on we
must call Munich "München" and Germany "Deutschland". So why is India
insisting we call Bombay "Mumbai", etc.?

Me no likey.
