The story of how a prosperous city fell.

Is there a possibility the situation gets worse? Even the doctors are asked to write prescription in Kannada, so the goverment is also supporting it in a way.

It's been 4+ years since I am in bangalore, I have lived in multiple areas and it seems pretty common to destroy new roads built for sewage repairs.

I feel it's unreasonable to require MNCs to disclose the number of their employees who are Kannadigas and to prioritize Kannadigas for employment. Such policies seem to be attempting to introduce reservation concepts into sectors like IT, which have traditionally operated on merit-based principles. Implementing such policies may breed resentment against the state and its communities. These measures could also raise doubts among investors about the viability of investing in a state with such regulations. Growing up, Bangalore was renowned for its welcoming people, pleasant weather, and thriving IT sector. However, with increasing instances of hooliganism and policies like these, Bangalore risks losing its appeal, leaving only its pleasant weather. As for my own background, my father is Kannadiga and my mother is Tamilian. Should my company consider me a Kannadiga?

There is an argument that many developed countries use language tests to allow immigration to their country, including USA, UK, Germany etc. Logically, Indian states expecting minimum language learning for leveraging opportunities should be okay, right? PS: I do not endorse violence or political rhetoric in the name of language.

Alright, Bangalore is the best city in India. It's not just the best, it's in a league of its own compared to other cities. First off, let's talk about the weather. Bangalore's weather is perfect all year round, magical. Unlike heat waves of Delhi and the shit humidity of Mumbai, Bangalore's climate is the best. Who wants to sweat anytime you step out or freeze to death in winters? Not me. Bangalore is where the real innovation happens. Really smart people making this country better. These Delhi Bombay kids caught lacking for real. And the people? Bangalore's got the best of the country. It's cosmopolitan. You've got people from all over the country, and everyone's more educated and progressive. So, let's cut to the chase. Bangalore is the best city, hands down. The rest of India can keep dreaming, but they'll never catch up.

It's crazy how this native-non native issue persists immensely in Bangalore. No other developed city like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Pune has this. Bangalore is going down big time with so much rising hate in the city.

Looking at the way the successive governments have mishandled the infrastructure and policy decisions in karnataka and Bengaluru should Bengaluru be made into a UT and hope for a better governance???

Karnataka natives living in the coastal region and not speaking kannada will suffer more from the bill than the migrants living in Blr. Hamara kya, hum toh jhola leke kahin or chal denge. Natives who support the bill only see Karnataka as Blr. They aren't really considerate of their own people and they cry that the migrants are not looking after the native people's interests. This is exactly what the govt wanted. Now people are fighting among themselves and not asking govt for better roads, public transport, education, etc. let's rise above this and direct our anger towards making Blr (and India) better.
