Looks like CONartists are naming governmental organizations in Hyderabad after Nizam era personalities. Soon, KCR will be called "Feudal Bahadur KCR" and Naxalite leaders, "Mao Bahadur Nishaad Raja", Musi river - Stink Bahadur Musi, etc. So, SU-CH should also start showing respect for famous personalities from Telangana region.

Thank you, guruvu-gaaru. I found something else in the story interesting. They have a "national workshop" on "change management." There is an urgent need for Dilbert to make a trip to Hyderabad.

They should learn from TN folks what names to change and what names to leave alone. It's okay to change "Madras" to "Chennai" or "Madras" to "Tamil Nadu." But you better leave alone IIT-Madras, Madras University, Madras High Court, etc. If you change them to say, IIT-Chennai, Chennai University, Tamil Nadu High Court - they kind of lose their sheen, and could likely take a long long time to earn the same name recognition and respect.

But AP fellows are not as smart as those in TN. I was watching the discussion on NDTV about the recent pull-out of DMK from UPA. TN politicians can take a dog and make it look like a tiger where as AP politicians take a tiger and call it a cat.

This "bahadur" title reminds me of Rao Bahadur in Appuchesi pappukoodu.

British guys used to dole out these titles to influential Indians to keep other Indians in line. And these titles cost nothing to the British.
