Telangana town names

Telangana will become more like a NI-ish BIMARU state and RSS, MIM, doralu and Naxalites will thrive for the next little while. 

If CONmen come to power in Telangana, they may change the names:

Nizamabad - will remain NIZAMabad
Mahaboobsnagar will be changed to Rahulabad
Karimnagar will be changed to Soniakkaapur
Hyderabad will be changed to Vadragutta

May be your idea that Macherla area should be the capital will come true. If KCR ever visits that place and opens his foul mouth, the locals (Palnadu!) will give him karra danda and cheppula sEva. There is a sameta in Palnadu - Palnati kukkalu kooda insults sahimchavu.

Plenty of water with Krishna river flowing by, scenic surroundings with the river cutting through the mountains, not too far from commercial/financial / agricultural centers of Vijayawada and Guntur, no agricultural land nearby that could be ravaged due to the new capital, smack in the middle of the state, close to the port, the river is perfectly navigable all the way to the sea from just about 10 miles downstream. This place is very similar to Hampi Vijayanagaram in location and expanse.

Locals call Mahabub Nagar as Palamoor but I have never heard of non Muslim names for the other places you mentioned. And while  Bhagyanagar is occasionally mentioned here and there in Telugu publications, it is as an adjective rather than as a name.

Yeah, it's always a one-way street when it comes to muslims in the name of maintaining peace. For example, it's fine if muslims appeal to ASI to change the name of Shankaracharya Hill in Srinagar to Suleiman-e-Takht (Suleiman's Fort), but it's not okay to change Nizamabad to Indur. Even Srinagar could be changed to Islamabad, and Anantnag to some other unheard of name in its history. Also, are Ayodhya and Faizabad different?

Do you prefer monarchy over democracy or Pakistan over India? unless those town names were changed to Muslim sounding names after independence, you argument is not valid.

o
what makes indo 's suggestion invalid? madras and Bombay went back to historical names.
i really do not attach importance to city names but indo 's suggestion has strong validity. palamur is a good example.

what pronunciation/spelling was involved in Madras to Chennai?
I think Hyderabad should remain the same. Palamur is a good candidate because it is widely used to this day.
