Bengaluru - An Attitude Check
Keeping my biases aside, I've seen 2 sides of the entire people's behaviour and culture: 1. Locals (folks from the city/state) are known to refer to the ones from other states as "outsiders" or "immigrants". We have seen some extreme cases where the people not from Karnataka are expected to understand Kannada. 2. People from outside, working in Bengaluru seem to complain about things beyond the point 1 instances and keep saying "It's just the weather that's good, everything else sucks". Note: 1. Having more people (especially working individuals) in the city has a direct impact on city/state revenues. These working individuals earn, and spend 2. Flexing "Kannada" by locals (especially service providers) is stupidity. They do realise that if the population drops they'll have lesser business (think, autos and cab drivers asking passengers to know Kannada) 3. People flocking in the city for their jobs, the traffic problems are obvious - if you opt for shared transport (metro, buses), we'll find a slightly relaxed traffic. You flex your two and three wheelers, what do you expect? 4. Outsiders or insiders, we have decided and chosen to stay here by trading off certain things to get benefits (mostly pay and growth opportunities), so it's our choice afterall Why do we still keep bashing and targeting each other š« Love š and Peace āš»

Locals are wreaking havoc in Bengaluru
It's madness what's happening in this city. I was once, myself, attacked by a mob after a guy ran his bike into my car and then threw a huge rock at me because I called him crazy. 20-odd people not only beat me up, but also beat my dad up and harassed my mom. And guess what? The Bengaluru police refused to file a case stating if my aadhar doesn't have my local address updated on it, they can't take the FIR. I really hope this city is left by companies soon and these service/gig workers get a taste of how their lives would be without the migrant population of the city.
