Re: Bangalore

Hi User:Manohar.sram, and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope to see you active on all Karnataka and India related articles. As far as the name of the city is concerned, there has been considerable debate on this issue (see Indian naming controversy). While the debate itself is interesting, it cannot provide clear direction on the naming convention of Indian cities. For any city to be renamed in India, there needs to be official recognition granted at the Central Government level. As far as is known, this approval has not been given to Bangalore as yet, and therefore it would be premature to change the "official" name of the city. We can get the ball rolling once there is official recognition. Personally, I don't see the reason for all the fuss – when I speak in English, I always say "Bangalore", just as I always say "Bengaluru" when I speak in Kannada.

Hi,

Hindi wiki is very short of contributors. Hindi being a language of many is in very neglected state even on Wikipedia. Other languages which have way smaller speakers have more articles on their respective Wikipedia than Hindi wikipedia. The situation is so bad that there are only 2 fully active editors and 3-4 more contributors who are creating and expanding the hindi wiki. I request you to join us in this attempt of making Hindi wiki a respectful internet resource for information in Hindi.
