All about TOWN
Bangalore was all about pete,ooru,palya etc till British came in here around 1800 AD to establish there military base , Bangalore was not a new military base for British in the region but it was a transfer of military base from Srirangapatana to Bangalore.
Once British entered the Bangalore a new area called “Cantonment” came into existence, Then the Bangalore mainly know by two areas i.e. Old Bangalore or Pete area and Cantonment.
Old Bangalore was mainly consist of region established by Kempe Gowda and Cantonment mainly consist the new area which British established, Then the Locality in the Cantonment was called TOWNs thus the Towns entered into Bangalore, usually the town use to name under some British officers who were quite famous in order to respect there work.

Do let me know if someone known the history of any particular town here and also if I have missed out some towns in the list.
This list should be sent immediately to Bangalore Govt(which is currently idle) so that they can start on renaming all of these.
Should be a big 5 yr plan for them.
Hereonwards all the town should be renamed to ‘townu’, so here it goes
Austin Townu
Benson Townu
Cox Townu
Frazer Townu
Langford Townu
Murphy Townu
Richmond Townu

I dont mean to be rude. So please take a deep breath and focus only on the content (not intent) that follows.
Readers of this blog do expect that this is a blog about Bangalore – but also that this is a blog that is in English. So, logically, the bloggers should be *at-ease* with both. I appreciate your enthusiasm (really, I do), but when you take more than just colloquial liberties with the language, it makes the reader’s experience unpleasant.
Language is a writer’s primary tool. Please consider blogging in a language that you can use more effectively.
