[edit] The name

Should this name not be Kamalapura? I know it has the final 'm' in the older references, but they were mainly by Madras based British of a century or more ago. Imc 14:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Demographics

I removed this following section from the article, because the population is a very unlikely figure for the village or small town that I remember. Is it confused with another place of the same name? If someone is confident that it is Kamalapuram in Bellary, please add it back in.
