If Kolkata had not slipped, Mumbai may never have risen to the stature it had. It's often not appreciated that Mumbai's rise to being the first city was helped because of how little competition it had from other cities it had. For decades post independence, there was literally no other city which was competing with it. Delhi was still an entirely political city, Kolkata was suffering from trade unionism and Bangalore was still very much a pensioner's paradise. Kolkata can still recover its lost glory but there's a lot of work involved to do so.

As the undisputed mega city of eastern India, Kolkata has huge potential and always had. The question is whether this can be tapped. It can actually be India's gateway to the East but the policy makers have to realize their city's potential and work to make the city the "hub" for the whole of eastern India.

Kolkata had to slip as bangladesh is gone as its catchment area since 1947. Mumbai has everything for a city, should bounce back with many things in pipeline including second airport and metro.

Obviously north has more population and hence more mp's in parliament.

WB=80 million
Bihar=80 million
Orissa=30 million
Jharkhand=30 million
Bhutan=6 million
North East=30 million

These are round figures but Kolkata's catchment area includes all of the above. That's 260 million people, a sizeable catchment area by any standards. Even Bangladesh can still be a catchment. Many Bangladeshis and Bhutanis used to come to Kolkata for medical treatment till 'Madras' became popular.

Mumbai benefited not only from fall of Kolkata to the commies. But also Guj's governments misplaced priorities. Otherwise you would have Surat being a 10 million odd city today and the premier port. But even in the commie thing. Kolkata voted them into power.


In Maharashtra and mumbai the shiv sena deposited premier commie leader Krishna Desai into various dustbins spread throughout the city. Had they not done that Mumbai too would have fallen to the communists.


Kolkata decline also was not helped by the governance in UP and Bihar.The entire Delhi to Kolkata corridor was affected badly. That corridoor had a potential to dominate India

capital Delhi --strong manufacturing , agriculture and minerals wealth undivided UP and Bihar(including Jharkhand) -the port of call Kolkata

Construction work likely to be over soon,but the crisis will delay beautification and landscaping

Though it sailed through waves of protests launched by various sections of society,especially green activists,the upcoming National War Memorial project inside the premises of the Indira Gandhi Musical Fountain in Cubbon Park,is facing another hurdle water supply.
While the construction work is expected to be over soon,it is feared that the shortage of water might delay beautification and landscaping of the memorial.
There are a few borewells on the premises,but they have the capacity only to cater to to the musical fountain.Left with no alternative,the chief minister recently directed both the horticulture department and BDA to provide the memorial a new water connection from the sewage treatment plant inside Cubbon Park.The pipeline was laid via Raj Bhavan a few days ago, said a source in BDA.
M Jagadish,deputy director of Cubbon Park,under whose jurisdiction the musical fountain falls,said,The shortage has affected only the War Memorial,not the musical fountain.We have given contract to Building Network Automation to pump water to the fountain from the borewells once every fortnight.To supply water to the War Memorial,BDA has laid a pipeline from the sewage treatment plant in Cubbon Park.
The plant has the capacity to recycle 1.5 MLD (million litres per day) of waste water.It treats the sewage water flowing from Vidhana Soudha,Vikasa Soudha,Legislators Home and Raj Bhavan and supply it for the maintenance of Cubbon Park.

To say that Surat would have been given Mumbai competition is an exaggaration by far. Anyone who has been to Surat knows that it lags behind Bangalore/Hyderabad as far as development is concerned. Mumbai was and is the undisputed center for film and finances industry in India, a position Surat had and has no chance whatever of taking. Surat is only known for its diamonds and textile industries. Period. It is nowhere near even being a metro now, let alone at that time. If any city could have given competition to Mumbai it was Kolkata which was not to be.

I agree that the Delhi-Kolkata corridor had the potential to dominate India. It still does. With Mayawati fast-tracking UP's development, Bihar coming back and West Bengal inviting industry, this corridor could be the place to be again. After all, Delhi/Mumbai have grown because of investment from all over India. If even some percentage of that investment can be redirected towards people's home states or even towards smaller towns in that belt, things could change.

Look at it this way: UP+WB+BR accounts for 16+8+8=33 % of India's population. Anyone who has to make money in India would have to be present in at least two of these states, if not all three. With 1/3rd of India, 160 MPs, fertile land there is huge potential. The question as always is, thinking of creative ways to tap that potential and then implementing it.

Yes i agree gujarat's fall was to do with mumbai's success. But the reason for gujarat cities not growing is alcohol ban i guess, nobody wants to make a guj city home esp high end customers.

And again, Delhi's catchment reduced because pakistan partitioned away. Delhi was center before 1947 for undivided india. So after partition Mumbai should have made capital of divided india, not delhi.

In fact departure of pakistan and banladesh reduced importance of north india. Still, we have full ganga river and majority of population in north.

LIVING next door, Sanjeet, a senior manager in a tech firm, had the best collection of movies in the entire apartment block and a beautiful home theatre system.

Sometimes men from the neighbourhood would drop in at his place to watch a film or a cricket match, but the real pull factor was his collection of single malt.

To the disappointment of the crowd, Sanjeet has now shifted to Gurgaon — for greener pastures. He presumably has an even better home theatre system and a bigger bar now. He surely has more free time.

His drive to work takes precisely seven minutes. In Bangalore, it was an hour's ordeal to reach Electronic City, where his office was located.

" I left for better opportunities," he said. " From an IT industry perspective, there are not enough ( new ventures) there. There are flagship firms, but new developments are elsewhere." There is a growing feeling among the tech crowd that Bangalore has now grown enough. There is even a vague sense that the Garden City for all its glory is perhaps imploding. There are tell- tale signs of breakdown all around. People love to chant litanies of woes about broken sewage lines, garbage, traffic snarls and congested industry clusters. Adding credence to such a grim view is a recent report of the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India. ( ASSOCHAM). " If trends are anything to go by, Bangalore, also known as India's IT hub might lose its crown of ' India's Tech Eden' to Gurgaon and Noida which are steadily becoming preferred destinations for companies," The report said.

In what appeared to be bit of an exaggeration, ASSOCHAM noted that Bangalore is losing its sheen thanks to its ' dismal infrastructure' and companies were moving out. The findings came from a sur- vey of 800 top industry bosses from sectors including IT, biotech and outsourcing.

ASSOCHAM Secretary General D S Rawat has spelt out what he described as a ' serious crisis' — " Choked roads, power outages, an erratic water supply, poor sanitation together with perennial political turbulence and confusion…" A section of industry leaders and observers in the city whom M AIL T ODAY contacted for response politely kept quiet about it. In Bangalore, we don't raise a stink about issues — garbage or politics. However, Kiran Mazumdar- Shaw, the CMD of the biotech major Biocon, spoke out, saying Bangalore's quality of life is dipping. She has seen the city growing from a cantonment town. And she has been part of an initiative called the Bangalore Agenda Task Force ( BATF) that contributed to good governance at the local level.

When External Affairs minister S M Krishna was the chief minister of Karnataka (1999— 2004), BATF forged a partnership between the citizens, corporates and administrative agencies to ensure better civic amenities. Later it got entangled in red tape — but left a lasting impact.

I NFRASTRUCTURE development in Bangalore is too tardy and often an afterthought or a retrofit, which is suboptimal to what the city needs," Mazumdar- Shaw said. " Power shortage, water shortage, poor road infrastructure coupled with traffic congestion is making us an inefficient city with a deteriorating quality of living." She is convinced that Karnataka is now losing industrial investments.

" Bangalore must desist from further industrialisation and shift out industrial development towards Mysore, Hassan etc," she added.

TV Mohandas Pai, a cofounder of BATF, agreed that the city is slowly losing its charm.

" But Bangalore is still the best place for technology companies and good talent in India," he said. " Good leadership can regain the status." Perhaps this is the way forward — that magic has worked for Delhi as well as nearby Noida and Gurgaon . In Bangalore the scenario is rather schizophrenic. Parts of the city look like Singapore and others like dirt heaps of any poor country. An example is a road on which Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa has a private residence, where he spends time often. His side of the road is well- lit with European- style lanterns and ornate benches on a smooth, tiled pavement. The other side is all dug up with stinking garbage dumps all over. Still Sanjeet is now looking for a come- back. " The weather is lovely there and my family is missing the place," he said. The lesson is that in Bangalore we crib endlessly about its shortcomings, but we just love the city!

Kolkata had already started slowly losing out to Mumbai before independence. The reason is Kolkata has always been a place of rebellions and revolts which is not very conducive for business. Indeed it was one of the main reasons why the British shifted the capital from Kolkata to Delhi. Also Mumbai had an excellent location and seaport. Kolkata's hinterland was mostly poor compared to Mumbai's. Don't get too swayed by the fact that per capita incomes in WB were highest at one time. The incidence of poverty was very high too. Kolkata also had to make way for millions of refugees over a short time frame during 1947 and also in the early seventies. This created more political chaos as the refugees got very little assistance for rehabilitation. When the Commies came to power in the late seventies (they had shorter stints in earlier years) West Bengal and Calcutta had already started spiralling deep downwards. There was very little the commies could do because they had only opposed and rebelled and didn't know how to rule. They also thought that they were going to wipe out good ol Congress from India with their revolutionary speeches. So they went hammer and tong against the Congress and the Congress simplyreturned the favour by ingnoring West Bengal be it in funding or approvals (examples - Haldia Petrochemicals, Saltlec). The commies will not accept it but it was liberalization and scrapping of the License Raj (and Freight Equalization) that saved Bengal finally from going completely down the drain. The commies in Bengal did change tune to keep up with times. Although Jyoti Basu still supposedly beats Buddhadeb hands down in who is better kind of polls, I think it was Buddhadeb who shook Bengal out of slow growth and tried rectifying many of the problems with varying degrees of success. The Singur and Nandigram issues overshadowed his generally good work in most spheres. Buddha's badluck was that he was always bracketed with 34 years of commie rule and not rated on his 10 years of rule. He reversed many of the Left's criticized policies, reigned in trade unions, pushed through reforms in education, opened many new universities and institutes, invited capitalists, started building planned townships in various parts of the state. Even in the last few years when he was cornered from all sides he did his best. He didn't get full support from his own party in his opposition to bandhs and strikes. The man didn't get his due and even lost his reelection bid. Anyway change is usually good. So let's see how the new government performs. Some of the signals it has sent out on land policy don't sound to promising. But it is too young to rate for now.

When others have told me the same, why shouldn't I?

Here are two articles about Kolkata from the yesteryears. It is from a western perspective (and they didn't like commies/lefties - especially in that era). These articles describe the situation in Kolkata much before the Left Front's 34 year stint beginning in 1977.

So always take stories about the glories of Kolkata before 1977 with lots of salt. Most journalists / experts who say such things have no clue or are ill informed. The rot had already started for various reasons. Looking at these articles, the fact that Kolkata is still around and thriving is a miracle in itself. Almost no city in India has gone through so much turmoil.

Anyway don't want to hijack a Bangalore discussion thread. But since people were discussing about Kolkata thought it would be worthwile to dig out some history.

Half the land of North India gone as pakistan and bangladesh, south india became equally important. Indus river completely gone with pakistan leaving holy ganges. I wonder how "intellectual" bengalis supported Left, i think Subhas chandra bose's left tilt later on might have improved Left's acceptability there. Bangalore gained of many PSUs because of law and order and geographical proximity to andhra and tamil nadu both - tamil politicians would anyday support bangalore opposite hyd.

History apart, Bihar fixed now, and WB is on its way to shed Left image. UP is betting big on Noida and Grater Noida. Haryana and Punjab are already well off. Now dividing UP into at least 2 states is very much needed, once next election would bring some coalition govt for sure, Harit Pradesh or Purvanchal. Bundelkhand is not a good candidate.

NEW DELHI: Just three weeks after Google's Street View cars started driving around Bangalore, the company has grounded the fleet after an objection from the city police. According to Google, it received a letter from the Commissioner of Police of Bangalore asking it to stop the cars. The cars were taking pictures and mapping streets of Bangalore. The data was supposed to be used for Google's Street View service.

"We can confirm that we have received a letter from the commissioner of police regarding Street View. We are currently reviewing it and have stopped our cars until we have a chance to answer any questions or concerns the police have," said a Google spokesperson.

According to Google, it received the letter last week. Sources said the commissioner has asked the search engine giant to stop photographing streets of Bangalore. The commissioner has also called Google officials for further discussions on the matter. Before Street View cars started operating, Google claims it took permission from the traffic department of Bangalore police

According to MediaNama, the police have reservations regarding legality of Google's Street View in India. An anonymous source reportedly told the website that the police acted because there were several restrictions on photography by foreigners or foreign firms in India.

The police also reportedly consider Street View and the data presented through it as a form of new media, putting it under the ambit of foreign direct investment policy that governs investment and participation by foreign companies in Indian media.

Even though Google Street View has proven immensely popular with users, the service has faced resistance in several parts of the world. The data in Street View is not shown to users in real-time but there have been privacy concerns over its use. In Austria and Czech Republic the service was banned temporarily. Recently, in April Google closed down Street View in Germany after privacy issues raised by the government and told European Union that it may withdraw the service from the member countries due to new laws on storing photographs.

BANGALORE: With mounting fears that the city is in danger of losing the tag of leading IT-hub, the software industry-- led by bellwether Infosys - here today called for development of world class infrastructure and continued government support to maintain its credentials.

On the 14th edition of the Bangalore IT biz 2011, Infosys CEO S Gopalakrishnan said Bangalore was a leader in terms of number of IT professionals employed, IT exports from the city and presence of multinational and leading players, but it had to do a lot more to maintain this position.

For the industry to grow, it " is imperative to create physical infrastructure," he asserted, adding creating world class office space would play a key role in it.

A recent Assocham report has said Bangalore is in danger of losing its IT capital tag due to deteriorating infrastructure, which is forcing companies to look outside for more industry-friendly cities.

Gopalakrishnan, who said incubating small business enterprises and growing them would require government support, added that in order to create a competitive playing field it was imperative for the industry to have power and water.

Speaking on the occasion, Sharad Sharma , who chairs the NASSCOM Product Forum, said a lot would depend on how the ICT policy and Karnataka Electronics Hardware policy were implemented and the speed of their implementation.

"We have to look at new business models to get to the next level", he said. He also called for the need for Bangalore to work in new wave areas like mobile phones.

Pradeep Gupta , Managing Director of CyberMedia , said hardware would play a critical role in the future. He predicted the aspiration of Indian consumers for electronics would exceed their desire for oil.

"Lot of innovation has to happen", Gupta said, adding Bangalore had to to take the lead in new areas of investment and in value addition, to go forward.

Murugesh R Nirani, minister of industries of Karnataka, assured the industry that his department would look into the various needs of the industry.

Nice find.

June 20: While residents of Bangalore East have threatened to protest against insufficient and irregular water supply, the BWSSB promises to solve the problem this week. However, the water board is yet to get to the root of the problem. The BWSSB is conducting field inspections and the local officials have been directed to tackle the problem and come up with an action plan within this week. The BWSSB has been flooded with complaints of irregular water supply from the East Zone.

“Most of the complaints that we receive every day come from the East Zone, especially from the East 1 and East 3 sub divisions. Though the meters indicate 8,000-10,000 litres of water per connection, the residents have been constantly complaining of insufficient water. They also have frequently complained of low pressure of water supply. Many residents have suggested that they can manage with water supply just once a week if the BWSSB ensures quantity and pressure in water supply. This explains the seriousness of the situation,” said Engineer-in-chief, BWSSB, T Venkataraju.

Though the problem is a long-standing one, the BWSSB has not been able to figure out what has caused it. The old and leaking water lines on Millers Road have recently been replaced and the supply has been shifted to newly-laid lines. This pipeline supplies water to the eastern part of the city. “We do not know what the problem is. We are not sure whether the pipes are leaking or the valvemen have allowed more water to flow to a certain area and less in another area, or if there is some other problem,” Venkataraju said.

Bangalore, June 20, DHNS:
http://www.deccanherald.com/images/editor_images1/2011/06/20/murugesh-250.jpg
Criticising the State government for failing to meet infrastructure demands of the City, Infosys CEO and Managing Director S Gopalakrishnan said, ''We have put money where our mouth is,'' and it was time the government too followed suit.

State Large & Medium Industries Minister Murugesh R Nirani with Infosys CEO & MD S Gopalakrishnan releasing the new ICT & Hardware policy in Bangalore on Monday. DH PhotoDelivering his keynote address at the curtain raiser of 14th Edition of BangaloreIT.biz 2011, to be held from October 18-20, 2011 in the City, he said, if Bangalore was to continue as a premier hub for investment, the State government needs to create necessary infrastructure for industries to grow. The focal theme of this year’s IT.biz will be India Innovates.

Pointing out that it was imperative to build upon eco systems provided by IT giants, he said, unless the government strove to provide infrastructure such as power, water, transportation, besides enabling an ease of doing business environment, the industry as also the State will not be able to keep up its competitive edge.

These are essential specially for small and medium enterprises and entrepreneurs to set up shop in Bangalore. The government must ensure a time-bound implementation plan through milestones and identify roadmaps, besides putting in place, a mechanism to monitor the speedy implementation of policies, he said.

Unless infrastructure is developed, it would be difficult for the industry to increase productivity, create new jobs as also wealth for people, he added, as they will be constrained to grow, innovate and make an impact.

Though IT giants have created the eco system and institutes of excellence in the City, promoting innovation and growth in the absence of adequate and enabling infrastructure, these will fail to deliver, he noted.

Minister for Large & Medium Industries Murugesh R Nirani, however, said the State government was holding talks with the industry in order to meet their demands and had, in fact, conducted two rounds of meetings with them to address the various issues they had raised.

Nirani assured that all infrastructural bottlenecks would be addressed with utmost speed and intention so that the State does not lose out on investments and flight of industries to other states.

and english is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subject_Verb_Object language..

So for even south indians it is easy to learn hindi than learning english :bash:

^^ What's your point ?

kannada tamil telugu and hindi are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subject_Object_Verb languages.

But english spanish are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subject_Verb_Object

So for a kannada or tamil guy it is very easy to learn hindi. But much difficult to learn english comparatively. As the sentence would jumble up..

nanu school hogtene
main school jata-hun
i go to-school

because of this problem i seen many illiterate people talking english like: "i school going" :lol:

can you recognize the difference?

That is indeed true. Applying the same in Tamil:

Mujhe Hindi nahi maloom nai
Enakku Hindi theriyadhu

Mujhe Bangalore jaana hai/nahi jaana hai
Enakku Bangalore poganum/poga matten

Learning another Indian language should actually be through an Indian language, not English. The way one one structures sentences is virtually the same.

We hate hindi only because it is capable of killing kannada. Hindi may kill kannada city by city, like it killed marathi in mumbai. And it almost killed kannada film industry, but currently situation seems better. But english gives us jobs, but hindi doesnt, english is never a threat and it is world language bigger than national language. Otherwise we love our country :lol: I think kannada is making comeback because of many tv channels are now available

I watch english news channels, but ads there are hindi :bash: Media should take initiative by banning hindi ads in english channels. Our central govt also plays many ads "ho raha bharat nirman"...

hindi is not killing any language...neither marathi nor kannada...these languages are not well promoted...punjabi is the most well promoted regional language in india...punjabi is so widely used in hindi movies which gives it a boost amongst people...even to non punjabis...no hindi movie has ever used kannada words...many nightclubs in bangalore organise punjabi themed nights...which run packed houses...have you ever been to a club playing kannada songs..even if they play,will you dance...i dont understand kannada and never seen a kannada film...but as i see in newspapers,actors here are not at all groomed...some of them look funny...they seriously need a massive makeover...if not bollywood at least they should try to stand at par to tamil cinema...which is almost as good as bollywood...quality of films lacks here...which is why bollywood/hollywood rules here...

more than well promoted i find that Hindi speakers refuse to pick up any other language. If they refuse to pick up Marathi a language which has the same devnagri script as Hindi itself which makes reading it a given. What hope is there for Kannada?


Marathi's downfall has been its extreme closeness to Hindi. Especially in script. No amount of promotion can change that.


Markedly different from the Gujarati or trading communities. they go out of their way to learn it.


Karnataka gov should take concrete measures to protect Kannada.

MOD ! MOD ! Come quickly.

You want to listen to pure Hindi turn on Vividh bharati which is still so pristine.

aaiye...aap hi ki kami thi...aur gurgoan mazze mein...aur kitna sunogay yaar tum...

The irony is that politicians like Periyar/Karunanidhi could see this coming 40-50 years back. That's why despite all their failings I respect the Dravidian parties for one thing: when the time was right, they stood up for Tamil. Today, when I see how Marathi/Kannada have got and are getting sidelined in their respective capitals and slowly elsewhere too, I really think they were amazingly foresighted. Other languages movie industries in particular have really been sidelined by Hindi.

I remember all my north Indian friends who studied with me in college in Chennai were first amazed, alarmed and then dumbstruck to see how popular Tamil music was in TN. I remember them all gaping, "they ONLY play Tamil music?". The guys from other non-Hindi speaking states too were really amazed. Then I slowly travelled in TN and to other states too, all over India in fact. Over a period of time, I realized that TN is the only state in India probably where the local language's music/movies and television is actually more popular than Hindi. Even though my mother tongue is not Tamil, I wouldn't hesitate to say that no regional language in India is as well promoted/popular/appealing as Tamil-barring (only in music) Punjabi. The best part of it was that many of my northie friends (and me)caught ourselves involuntarily saying "aama" even in our native places at the end of a year.

When north Indians used to crib about Hindi not being spoken, I used to wonder at that time. Tamil is the official language of TN. Not Hindi, not English, not Punjabi/Latin/Greek. So...what other language would you expect them to speak? 80 %+ of people in TN have Tamil as their mother tongue. In most cases, its the minority which picks up and speaks the majority's language. Almost never the other way around. If I don't know the language of the majority of the people around me, I don't blame the people for speaking that language.

Mujhe kisi ne nahi sunaya...Gentem doesn't qualify for it...so forget it...

Yaar give me answer for the question I asked you.....I need to correct your comprehension issues...basically reading skills...

Kannada movies given exemption from entertainment tax and some quota for other lang movies like some max no. of screens etc. Still very few kannada movies make profit. That is because less people watch movies here compared to tamils and telugus.. And less population too

Script is same is big problem for marathi.. All boards directions etc.. Hindi people feel at home in mumbai and pune :lol: i agree they are stubborn and claim it is national language, love country etc.. Even city girls will start liking hindi dialogues because of bollywood movies :(

For the record Akshay Kumar himself can speak Marathi.

Same script of Marathi has little to do with it. Maharashtra didn't have the cultural tools to combat Hindi's influence i.e. a flourishing film industry, a government committed to promoting the language, writers who were ardent about promoting the language, an elite which took great pride in speaking their language. French and German both have the same script as English but neither of these are in any way encroached on by English. Regardless of whether Marathi has the script or not, you needed some of the above elements to ensure the language survived. Quality Marathi music (Maharashtrian equivalents of Kailash Kher/Rabbi/Daler/Yuvan Shankar Raja) to popularize it among the younger generation, governments setting up Marathi Academies, encouraging students to take Marathi as second language in CBSE/ICSE/international schools could have made a big difference.

More than Hindi killing any language, it's a question whether that language can build things that sustain it. In Hindi's case-Bollywood/Hindi music/Hindi TV/Central support. In Tamil's case-Kollywood/Tamil music/TN government. In Bengali's case-Bangladesh/elite that took pride in their language/literature.

Kannada should work on promoting music and movies that can act as a good alternative to Hindi. I think, if these two can really become popular, it will make a big difference to Kannada's fortunes.

more than well promoted i find that Hindi speakers refuse to pick up any other language. If they refuse to pick up Marathi a language which has the same devnagri script as Hindi itself which makes reading it a given. What hope is there for Kannada?

Dharwad has good ancillary units for buses and commercial vehicles,anway here is some news for you
Nirani said, the government has received fresh investment proposals amounting to an investment of Rs 32,000 crore and they would be taken up for clearance during the high-level clearance committee headed by chief minister later this month.

The new proposals include projects from Hero Motors and Honda Motorcycle and Scooters India (HMSI). Both two-wheeler companies have proposed to set up their manufacturing units in the state. Hero Motors has sought land near Dharwad while the HMSI has identified two places in Tumkur and Kolar districts, he said.

June 22: It's called a 'lead' map of Bengaluru. It will be the first in the country to indicate places that have highly concentrated levels of the metal, lead. This poisonous substance causes various health problems, like damage to the nervous system and brain disorders. So the National Referral Centre for Lead Poisoning in India (NRCLPI) has started an initiative to create 'lead maps' and Bengaluru will be the first city to get its regional lead map.

"Studies at various levels are on at the moment and we are going to prepare a multi-dimensional 'lead map' of Bengaluru. It will be prepared after checking air samples, soil samples, water samples and even blood samples of people residing in areas which have a higher concentration of lead in the environment," said Dr Thuppil Venkatesh, project in-charge, Lead Map of India, NRCLPI. He said that so far they have found that people residing in areas like Electronic City, Peenya and Kalasipalya, have high levels of lead in their blood. "Such areas will be declared 'Lead Alert Zones' in the city," he said.

The permissible limit of lead in the blood is said to be below 5 micro grams per 100 ml of blood, but in the residents of these areas it was found to be above 20 micro grams per 100 ml of blood. "This explains the urgent need for 'lead maps' in the city, so that before buying or constructing houses people are aware of the lead content in the environment of that particular area," said Dr Venkatesh.

It is an ongoing study, with samples being collected from various parts of the city. "This is essential because lead poisoning is a serious problem with children especially vulnerable. It affects their IQ and also leads to cognitive developmental problems. In adults it could cause multi-organ ailments," said Dr Venkatesh. This map is expected to be complete by 2012.

Both Bangalore and Mumbai/Pune have much to learn from Kolkata. There are far more Biharis in Kolkata/WB than in Maharashtra or Karnataka but the lingua franca of Kolkata is very much Bengali. My Bengali friends speak only in Bengali to their Bihari friends and labourers so on. I remember when this migration issue came up, Times of India published a report giving the break up of Bihari migrants to different states. In that WB had something like 40 lakh and Maharashtra had around 4 to 5 lakh. Despite Kolkata's huge non-Bengali population (unlike Chennai which was an overwhelmingly Tamil city-though changing now) Bengali has never been looked down on or considered unimportant. Bangalore should follow the Kolkata model- encourage non-Kannadigas to learn it, use only Kannada as far as possible in administration, promote Kannada music and movies.

Kolkata is also a good model because historically it was the most cosmopolitan city in India, after Mumbai. Even today, it probably has more Marwaris and Biharis in Mumbai.

Very nice article about a city that wants to compete with Bangalore. Knowing China, Bangalore may soon be going there to learn from it. Mamata must take tips from this in her quest to remake Kolkata as London.

why do i get a feeling your from kolkata

why people make you're into your :bash:

why people make you're into your :bash:

dont you know?

they are from the illuminatiu

Memumbaikar, nicely put:)

But I'm not from Kolkata.

and what you say is true

kolkata certainly has done a better job at accommodating the biahri migrant work force

My Bihari best friend who's grown up in Jamshedpur can speak Bengali just because she lived and lives in a Bengali colony in Jamshedpur:).

I think we are missing hyderabad :) I guess it is already hindi because of 40% urdu speaking population there. All metros including Pune except chennai will be hindi.

But organized retail like mcdonalds already started kannada as requirement for the job. I see them telling "namaskara", a move in right direction. And menu is there in kannada too. Some kannada commission of state govt should visit such places like big bazar, reliance fresh etc and enforce kannada for salespersons. But we dont beleive common migrant adult should be coerced to learn kannada - we have kannada compulsory for children from 5th standard to 10th.

Pune will never be a Hindi speaking city because Marathi enjoys a power status there.
Chennai, has already turned into a more cosmopolitan city than Bangalore these days, but ti still maintains its identity ...

I assume english is more used in chennai than hindi. Thats what we want in bangalore.

But marathi i guess no movie industry. Are hindi movies at least dubbed into marathi and released? Maharastra govt should give tax exemption for dubbed movies.

I assume english is more used in chennai than hindi. Thats what we want in bangalore.

But marathi i guess no movie industry. Are hindi movies at least dubbed into marathi and released? Maharastra govt should give tax exemption for dubbed movies.
English has more presence in Chennai only because of IT/ITES industries.
Else, Chennai has more North Indians living there.

Yes.

Vatal goes nuts to raise poll funds


Stubbornly eccentric Kannada activist sells coconuts today at Rs 100 a piece. Remember, the coconut is his election symbol

Vatal Nagaraj, contesting the Bangalore South seat, will sell coconuts today to raise funds for his election campaign.
http://www.mid-day.com/imagedata/2009/apr/vm1.jpg

Kiss ass: Vatal Nagaraj comes up with photo ops that delight the news hound. Yesterday, he worshipped donkeys, saying they were more deserving of adoration than religious leaders

The Kannada activist and candidate of the Kannada Chaluvali Vatal Paksha, a party named after himself, will sell each coconut for Rs 100.

"Come to Majestic tomorrow, and you can see me selling coconuts," he told MiD DAY.

Vatal's election symbol is a coconut. "This is my way of raising funds and awareness about my symbol," he said.

Animal puja

Vatal is famous for his unconventional demonstrations.

Yesterday, he performed puja for a donkey, a dog, a camel, a cow, and a buffalo.

"I don't believe in these swamijis and their institutions... these animals are more sincere than swamijis," he said.

He wants to work for the Kannada cause, and help young people find jobs. He is supported by his daughter Anupama, who goes campaigning with him. "My son is ill and I can't go out much this time, but I hope my father wins," said Anupama Vatal.

I respect him because he is unique,he had been an MLA for many years and sincerely worked in his constituency,people voted for him for his sincerity now he is old and with money politics taking center stage,he was destined to be forgotten.

He was never after money like other MLAs/politicians,something hard to find in politics.

Vatal Nagraj is a nice guy. He works for the upliftment of the downtrodden and under privileged. The only time I showed dislike towards him was, once again a language based issue ...

Raj Tharki is charismatic ehhh:bash::bash::bash:

Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has warned of an impending energy crisis in Karnataka unless drastic steps are taken to keep pace with the development, and has suggested that the State concentrate on natural gas.

“The energy deficit in Karnataka is already 10 to 12 per cent and addition to energy generation is not keeping pace with the development,” CII Karnataka State Council Chairperson S. Chandrasekhar told presspersons here on Thursday. Stressing the need for a specific energy policy to assess and plan for the State's requirement, he said natural gas, despite its high cost, could be looked at as getting coal was a problem.

The proposed gas line to Bangalore, he said, had to be completely utilised for industrial development. Getting land in Karnataka had become tough, and one of the solutions was to develop Tier II cities. Besides, the State, instead of stressing on service sector, should also promote industry and agriculture for employment generation.

South slipping?

Mr. Chandrashekar's comments came after the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Southern Region Chairperson T.T. Ashok said southern States had lost the edge in industrial development, registering growth rate below the national average.

Stressing on accelerating inclusive growth and sustainable development in the region, Mr. Ashok expressed his concerns that investments were not coming faster and the region was slackening.

Creating huge physical infrastructure, managing talent availability, time management in policy-making and implementation, and building the capacity in the industry to move up in the value chain were some of the challenges that need to be addressed in order to sustain south India's growth momentum.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure being the key to industrial development, Mr. Ashok said CII proposed a Chennai-Bangalore-Hyderabad industrial corridor on the lines of the Delhi-Mumbai corridor. Earlier, in the day CII leaders met Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa to discuss the prevailing industrial scenario and offered help for the 2012 global investors' meet.

‘Shhh... we’re having a party!’ (http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=TOINEW&BaseHref=TOIBG/2011/06/24&PageLabel=25&EntityId=Ar02500&ViewMode=HTML)
For the first time in south India, party-goers will be able to party without making any noise
Darinia Khongwir


Parties are often characterized by loud music, fast tempo beats and people dancing to the DJ’s tunes. But imagine you’re at a party where the music is for your ears only and nary an irate neighbour.
They call it the silent noise party and several Bangalore party animals will be grooving to this unique experience today. It was British DJ Justin Mason who first introduced the concept in our country. While he lives in Goa playing one silent noise party after another, this is the fourth year in running that this kind of party has been happening in India. But, for Bangalore and the south, this will be the first time people will be experiencing one.
Talking to BT over the phone, Justin says, “In India, the silent noise parties came into being when the laws got stricter over noise. Many wanted to bring decibel levels down. To stay within the law and still allow people to have a good time was what we were aiming for. That’s how silent noise parties started.”
How it works is very similar to watching a 3-D movie where you pay your entry fee and are given goggles. The difference here is that you get headphones. These come with a radio frequency that matches that of the DJ’s system. Once the headphones are turned on, you can hear the DJ play. But without it, you will not be able to hear the music, save for the ambient noise and traffic.
Sometimes there’s more than just one DJ playing. The party in Bangalore will have three DJs playing at the same time and party animals can tune into their choice of music. “There will be three channels that are colour coded: One playing funky house and commercial; progressive house and trance on another and another featuring the history of dance music. Revellers can switch to any channel at any time,” says DJ Rohit Barker, who will be playing at the party.
And people in the city can’t be more excited about the party. College student Prarthna Ganesh, who is also an aspiring environmentalist, says this is a great initiative and would go a long way to bring down noise levels. “I find the concept very exciting and can’t wait to attend the party. This way, it will keep meddling cops and complaining old people from intruding into our parties,” she says.
It is highly unlikely that anyone would be missing a headphone. In the event there’s even one guest without a headset, the picture this party would present would be rather hilarious. “Without a headset all you will hear are human and ambient sounds. You will see people dancing to different styles of music,” says Justin.

SILENT HISTORY
Silent noise parties have been a rage in Europe for years now because the European Union too is keen to bring down noise pollution. Silent Noise, in India, was conceived in the beachside town of Palolem, south Goa. It sprouted from the strict noise laws implemented in the state a few years ago.

Dancing with headphones?

Not as often as you would think.. Dancing banned in most pubs since Bidari became commissioner :ohno: Only few disco's it is allowed that is some different licence, and they are costly :cheers:

The karnataka excise department is issuing various types of excise licences in form of CL-2(retail sale of liquor in the premises), CL-9, CL-4(Club licence), CL-5(Occational licences for special purposes), CL-6A(Star Hotel licences), CL-7(lodging and boarding), CL-8(military canteens) and CL-9(Bar licences). The Excise licences namely CL-2, CL-4, CL-7 and CL-9 etc., sanctioning authority is Excise Commissioner,Bangalore.

That's India for you isn't it. I like it that way.

That's India for you isn't it. I like it that way.
As I said it happens.
We are who we are.

I feel we should have 2 language policy in India. Local state language and National language. National language should be Hindi (based on no of speakers) or if some one does not like it make it Sanskrit so that all will accept. English should be given third preference. If a person from Maharashtra/ Gujrat/Delhi goes to TN for a short visit they should be able to communicate easily in national language. But if they are staying there for a long time they have to make every effort to learn local language as well.

I am all for Hindi over English. I don't understand why some people in South hate Hindi. At the same time Hindi speaking people staying in non-hindi states for a long time are not making much effort to learn local language, this is also true. This is from my experience. Both have to change

^^, Finally, some sense ... Jai ho. :cheers:

National language should be Hindi (based on no of speakers) or if some one does not like it make it Sanskrit so that all will accept. English should be given third preference. If a person from Maharashtra/ Gujrat/Delhi goes to TN for a short visit they should be able to communicate easily in national language. But if they are staying there for a long time they have to make every effort to learn local language as well.

I am all for Hindi over English. I don't understand why some people in South hate Hindi. At the same time Hindi speaking people staying in non-hindi states for a long time are not making much effort to learn local language, this is also true. This is from my experience. Both have to change


BNe ready for some nonsense from gentem...Hindi our national language hahaha...you kidding HIM....Hindi is digrace to India according to few and many bangaloreans ...

Yes make 2 language formula but allow people to choose what they want. Nobody will choose hindi over english, i dont know what you will choose for ur children. Inter state short visit u told doesnt give us bread and butter but english gives. Migration is not the aim, job is the aim.

Ps. Hindi is not our national language yet. It wont be made in future too. We hate hindi because it is capable of killing kannada, but english cant kill.

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah and some more Blahhhhhhh

Indian federation???? Anyone???

Sometimes I wonder about the futility of it. most Northies Indians think that Hindi is the National Language. Even I was taught in Hindi class in my primary school that Hindi is our Raashtrabaasha. (I learnt the truth later)

So why not give it the status, but keep English/Hindi/Local Language as the official language of instruction ?

Hindi is not responsible for killing Kannada. It's upto Kannadigas to promote and preserve their language.

^^ That's some sense....thank god...

Imposition of Hindi as a third language kills Kannada.

@Indian_sun
seems like you are making fun of Kannada/KA and Promoting tamil here. Edu nyayana. Look at ur diagrams and your updates.

Well, technically Akash is a Maharashtrian as Belgaum is a part of MH :D

According to one of my misinformed Northie friends, Mysore is in Kerala. So either way Dr. Engineer is associated with disputed regions.

Actually that's true, some Northies in Pilani thought I was from Bangalore since I was a tamilian.

^^ Dude, those are not my drawings. They are from Kannada rage (http://kannadarage.tumblr.com). If you read it, and the other rage comics, you'll realize the intention is to laugh at oneself.

I have no intention of making fun of kannada. Just trying to see things in a lighter vein. And btw, Akash, MOD, Ichi are good fraaands and they know it's not serious.


However, I will promote any language if you pay me. :D

J/K. Get over your paranoia.

Looks like both you and me have infinite time on our hands.

Currently in karnataka it is 3 languages from 5th to 10th standard. Till then it is only one language either kannada or english. But these kannada fanatics demand english medium schools should teach kannada too in 1st to 4th standard, that will be burden on small children.

Isnt it same elsewhere except TN which has 2 language formula.
