GIFT city

Opinion: Every global city has been built by immigrants from around the world( be it Nyc, London..). Even major Indian cities( Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata...) had an influx of people from around the country. This made those regions as major cities with a mixture of culture and people.

You know NYC has black ghettos right? London was not built by Asian immigrants. The comparison is irrelevant. As long as there is some proof this is just another click bait, arbitrary claim by a random person.

You should visit NYC and see the slums/ghettos of blacks yourself. The West does not shit over itself with propaganda like Indians do. That's why you get a rosier picture of the west than India. If we are talking about discrimination, the comparison against the West makes no sense. The West is the Father of discrimination. How was NYC or the whole of US built? By wiping out the native Americans. Where did their religion go? Burnt and sent to Hell. Hell, the word caste itself is a Portugese and Spanish one (casta).

Every big economy and every big city was built by largely similar group. 18th& early 19th century England, late 19th and 20th century USA, and now China, all were/are built by a homogeneous group with little diversity. You need diversity of thoughts and ideas, not necessarily skin colours. Once all these cities were built, these migrants went there to benefit from the progress. You just need to create markets for your products or conquer people across world and enforce predatory taxes to develop, that is the only way. The diversity of people should be achieved as a common goal of bringing all our fellow humans to a same level of progress but it is not the reason for progress!

India looks for new Bengalurus as its Silicon Valley goes downhill

"The extent of water surface in Bengaluru during 1973 was 2,324 hectares. Over the last 50 years, due to reckless concretization, the water surface has shrunk considerably. Of the remaining water bodies, 98% of lakes are encroached upon and 90% of them are fed with untreated sewage or industrial effluents. Naturally, this has impacted the recharge of the groundwater table as well," IISc's Prof TV Ramachandra had told TOI.

Bengaluru's severe water crisis and traffic congestion are prompting tech giants to consider relocating from the $245 billion IT hub. The ci...

Bangalore is ❤️

On a recent episode of Nikhil Kamath, he says “Bangalore is famous for nice and welcoming people”. This is so very true to a large extent. Every city however has some outliers who tarnish the image by going extreme. I have seen a lot of posts on GrapeVine complaining about Bangalore and their people. People should understand that every native resident of a city carries a profound sense of connection and endeavours to uphold the cultural heritage of their hometown. And what better way to preserve heritage than to safeguard language ? This is the reason I believe most non Hindi speaking cities try to impose their language on outsiders. All said and done, I feel language should never be imposed but at the same time it shouldn’t be ridiculed either. I’ve seen a lot of “Kannada” hate post and is disheartening to see it. And lastly I appologize to all those who have had negative experiences due to a few troublemakers. TL;DR : Bangalore is a lovely city with warm and welcoming people.

Exporting people legally

Doctors, software Engineers to US/ Europe Nurses to UK Skilled construction Labour to Israel/ Middle East Now Taiwan. Where else will Indians go and work in future? Indian civilisation is going to rise as Indians work in more countries.

[Thread] What is the best thing about your city?

Perhaps the best thing about Delhi is it’s relationship with culture and history. Food, Architecture, Infrastructure, Museums You are guaranteed to find a place of great cultural and historical significance in all of the above dimensions. You will be teleported into a bygone era when you’re in the middle of Khan Market at the Faqir Chand Bookstore. An experience unlike the rest. Finally, I don’t have to worry about travelling 6kms and it taking the entire day. *wink wink Bengaluru* Do share your responses though. I love to read about original takes from people who have lived these genuine experience.
