It does not apply to cities as the language is unambiguous in that case. You can check that with Dubai, Karachi, Bangkok etc. Here in wikipedia, there is no scope for dictatorship. The RfC WP:INDICSCRIPT has been a long established consensus and everything here works on consensus. So, it's time you stop adding Indic script across articles and making your own rules. — LeoFrank Talk 12:33, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
Are you sure there's consensus for such widespread removal? El_C 13:53, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
@ El_C: The wide consensus is not to use native names in Indic Languages. So the same rule should apply to all Indian pages. Prameetc ( talk) 14:02, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
Starting a new RfC is not a good idea. Someone did suggest it very recently at WT:INB but, as so often, they had no idea of just what a can of worms would be opened. - Sitush ( talk) 15:18, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
Also, from what I read in WP:INDICSCRIPT, it concerns with usage of Native languages in pages belonging to personalities. This is very natural, since a person's lifespan may extend to different ethnicities. A person may be born in Tamil Nadu and may have been raised in Kerala, in that case many people will take advantage of native language to prove their identity. However, the same reasoning fails in case of names of places, for the simple reason that a city or town can have only one linguistic identity. For. example "Bangalore can never be written in Tamil" and "Delhi should always be written in the 3 languages which are official there". These things will never change.

Please see this injunction by User:RegentsPark (an administrator). The policy permits scripts to be present in the infobox of geographical articles. I would advise User:Prameetc to please rollback his edits. Thanks, Anupam Talk 15:20, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
31.215.192.164 I don't mind if you revert my edits. My original intention was to add native scripts to Indian States and Cities that didn't have them, however my edits were reverted by many users citing the policy. I would suggest you discuss with some more contributers before reverting my edits. Thanks Prameetc ( talk) 16:07, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Kanteerava Outdoor Stadium.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Train2104 ( t • c) 03:13, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
