Origin of name
The name Badabetara has an interesting historical origin associated with Boita, the indigenous boat. In the distant past, people traded through the area using the indigenous boat through a near extinct river presently known as Bagi Jora. The traders, called Boitaras, settled in the area. Therefore, this habitation came to be known as Bada Boitara which gradually began to be mispronounced as Badabetara, the present name.
gollark: I'm giving people permission to try and gather data on me if they want, on the condition that they tell me while doing so, give me the results of this, and delete any copies they might retain of it without giving them to anyone else. Unfortunately this is pretty unenforceable. I can pay in melons, though.

gollark: I think I've been pretty clear that I'd prefer Nobody to not gather people's datas without asking them *beforehand*, but if he does do that anyway then he should notify people he's doing it.
gollark: If he *isn't* telling people about his data gathering escapades then he may not receive the appropriate complaint volume, so maybe I should just *assume* he's looking up someone's data at random times and complain?
gollark: I'd prefer him to not do it *at all* over doing it and telling them, and would prefer doing it and telling them over doing it and not telling them.
