Is Bangalore really bad for Non kannada speakers?

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.

I've been living in BLR all my life and been living in Gurgaon for about 4 months now because of company transfer. I thought BLR was bad until I came to Gurgaon. 1) The complete lack of apathy and compassion is off the charts here. People are so individualistic and small issues turn into huge fights. One example being a guy in a Fortuner hit my Hyundai hatchback from behind and screamed and made a scene when it was his fault and the guys all around supported him, I knew limited Hindi and I had to pay money to get the hell out of the place. 2) Climate and pollution: No words here. Extremely hot and polluted. 3) Rents have almost reached BLR levels or more 4) infrastructure: I thought BLR infra was shit but roads are non existent here and streets get water logged and stays waterlogged for 10 hours even after rains stopped lol. It feels like a dead City with no life, depressing and a concrete jungle.

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.

I don’t get the narrative of most south states to force their language on others. I mean people from different states in the north speak different native language i.e Punjabi, Haryanvi etc but still they can do the conversation in Hindi. Most of the people from Bangalore always come with the phrase “Go back to your state”. Someone please tell them that we are living in their state as we don’t have much choice. Also, almost 70% of their employment comes from people like us. IT companies should expand their operations in cities like Gurgaon, Hyderabad and Noida. What do you guys think about this unwelcoming nature of some local bangalore people?

The gov, the discrimination and increasing crime rates…. I’ve been observing this for a while now… What’s the experience of people actually living there? Is it really as bad as news outlets are presenting it? Or it’s just an exaggeration? I’ve been wanting to find a job in blr and move there since a while now but news like these concern me.

Hello, I have 5yoe at big4, currently working from my hometown. However recently I received an offer for a product company (pre-sales) which needs me to relocate to Bangalore. The hike is good 45% but considering the CoL I might just be saving 10-15k more per month than I do now. So, my question is, is it worth joining the product firm and relocate?

Roads, Metro, Taxi Drivers arrogance, Corruption....Naah Speak Kannada first. I'll be as blunt as possible. "Supporting this behaviour will make life hell for non-Kannadigas in Karnataka and Kannadigas out of Karnataka." This CM has done nothing but spread hatred and divide Karnataka as much as possible.

Hey everyone, Thought of creating a daily post where we all can hang around and talk just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss. Think of this like the Watercooler at your office. Look forward to hearing from y'all :)

1. I moved to Bangalore because I thought it'll be one of those city which has educated open minded folks but...... 2. now I'm seeing people suddenly destroying shop with English boards (I don't support destroying but I do feel board shouldd be written in kannada and English) and Vandalizing some food Van because it's use only English. 3. Saw some reels on Insta where Folks in auto and scooty rider are arguing over person not speaking in kannada or rather speaking in English or hindi. 4. One of the Politician saying Folks from North come to south and clean toilets (can't pin this point to just bangalore city). First I feel there always few people who do all those things but now frequency seem increasing, I hope this will not become worst with time. I did meet some really great localites so entirely this post is not painting this beautiful city into bad light.
