Please include the topic on KempeGowda-The founder of Bengaluru(with picture) and Lakshmi Devi- His daughter-in -law,who sacrificed her life to safeguard the city then.This is of great historical importance

Most cities have a topic on History and growth.Bangalore historys starts with KempeGowda and Lakshmi Devi.Its a mark respect to include write-ups about the founder along with the picture.

WHile Bangalore is portrayed as the IT city,Garden city..,its also important to uncover the History of this beautiful city.

One institution missing in Bangalore premier (higher education) institutes list

The institution 'TIFR Centre for Applicable Mathematics' should be added to the list of the premier research institutes in Bangalore. Here is its Wiki page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIFR_Centre_for_Applicable_Mathematics.

This is really a cutting edge school on applied mathematics, but specially partial differential equations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Upanshu56 (talk • contribs) 10:08, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Bengaluru

Why wikipedia still follows old name? Even google has changed everything to Bengaluru: https://www.google.at/search?q=Bengaluru https://www.google.at/search?q=Bengalore


there are many more news articles in 24h timefrime for Bengaluru than Bangalore: https://www.google.at/search?biw=1536&bih=763&tbm=nws&ei=lrLJW9nFPMnpsQH8hYDIDQ&q=bengalore&oq=benga lore&gs_l=psy-ab.3...22234.23089.0.23276.6.6.0.0.0.0.138.477.0j4.4.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..2.0.0....0.jhKoQ5Txlo8 https://www.google.at/search?biw=1536&bih=763&tbm=nws&ei=vrLJW-idF8SnsAHEva_gAQ&q=bengaluru&oq=bengaluru&gs_l=psy-ab.3...603.1592.0.1762.4.3.1.0.0.0.118.308.2j1.3.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.wyNcqWpgv_k

How is this still standing at "Bangalore" ?! --89.144.196.148 (talk) 10:30, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have never heard anyone from call it Bengaluru. I work with Indians and while Mumbai for example is quite widespread Bangalore remains Bangalore..--APG1984 (talk) 17:21, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think it is time to move this to Bengaluru. The city is called as 'Bengaluru' in Kannada since the beginning. Bangalore was renamed as Bengaluru in 2015 and now everyone uses Bengaluru and not Bangalore. Dheerajmpai23 (talk) 17:50, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
While that may hold in the Kannada Wikipedia, the English name of the city has been Bangalore. The fact that there can be different names for a city in different languages is nothing new (Wien/Vienna, München/Munich, Lisboa/Lisbon, and the list of examples is endless).

Additional reason to change - Expedia sells tickets to Bengaluru... not Bengalore. 260 million people speak English as their first language in India We don't call Beijing Peking. Bengalore is now becoming the globally used name, this feels like western colonialism, folks. Let's change this. WayeMason (talk) 18:06, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cover photo issues

The cover photo of the article does not capture the essence of the city nor is appealing as an article. The main cover photo of UB city is also quite old and not updated. Perhaps a photo of Jayangar 4th block/Ghandinagar would be better, these areas are the true heart of the city. A photo of The Vidhan Soudha (the administrative headquarters of Karnataka, present in Bangalore) would also suffice.

Topic 7 -Economy MAJOR ISSUES

Most of the statistic are outdated here. Some from 2004! Bangalore economy is estimated to have grown by 1000% from 2004! Most of them are from 2014 - 15. This may not seem like much but Bangalore exports have increased by 60 % from then. Some of them are blatantly wrong stating Bangalore has GDP of $80 billion, Bangalore GDP is $110 billion plus! 45.126.205.163 (talk) 14:52, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
