    According to this Reuters report, "India’s technology hub of Bangalore changed its name to its vernacular original Bengalooru on Wednesday in what is seen as a bid to appease locals upset at the influx of outsiders." The name change was timed for the celebration to mark the 50th anniversary of the "formation of Karnataka state, of which the city is the capital."


    Interestingly, the story says Bengalooru derives from the word for "town of boiled beans."
