For three lakhs of rupees.
That's the price for which the Mughals sold Bengaluru to Chikkadevaraya Wodeyar - back in the 16th century. Can you beat that? :)
Oh by the way I read this in a book "Bangalore through the Centuries" by M.Fazlul Hasan. It seems to be really interesting. I just started, and found this snippet. In fact there are loads of other interesting facts in the book. I will make up a list and put it up once I finish the book. Watch this space.
[Clarification - Bangalore has not yet officially become Bengaluru. I am just referring to it as that, coz I am talking about the 16th century :)]

I believe it will take almost a year by the time its changed
I believe even Delhi is getting its name changed
Lets hope our politicians atleast India alone and not plan to change that too
You never know! In a few months' time, they will come up with Bharat for India!
