Language wars: Bengaluru’s auto drivers, non-local techies and a Kannada lesson


Bengaluru, once known as Pensioners’ Paradise, has transformed into the Silicon Valley of India. But with rapid growth comes cultural tensions. As non-Kannadigas flock to the city for education and jobs, language has become a flashpoint. Autorickshaw drivers, at the heart of Bengaluru’s daily hustle, share their frustrations over the…

  1. These like fcuking bastard lady.. They are living here earning here eating kannadigas shttt for survival.. learn basis kannada.. how long u will keep eating kannadigas shttt.. get out of Bangalore

  2. These north indians are beggars . They came here to earn n feed their family.. They think they are rich and came here feed locals😂😂😂😂.. bastards culture less ppl..

  3. If you listen to the old melodies of Kannada you will fall in love with this beautiful language….without any pressure or imposition you will learn Kannada…..start with the songs of Dr Rajkumar…..my love for Kannada started through his songs…..love Karnataka from Kerala❤❤❤

  4. Its not that people dont want to learn , its the attitude of most kannadigas and racism and a little bit of separatist thinking that make people not feel like leaning
    Current generation of kannadigas is absolute waste and hostile 20 years ago people were extremely nice and thats how most of the people i know learnt ive seen so many changes here in bangalore but major change is weather and locals from sweet to extreme hostile ( not only towards people who dont speak kannada but towards each other as well)

  5. I’m a vlogger from Bengaluru, and I believe Kannada is a beautiful language. Outsiders should at least try to learn it. Imagine a Kannadiga moving to Mumbai or Delhi—speaking only Kannada might lead to ridicule, but here in Bengaluru, locals are welcoming. They just want to keep their culture and language alive. Personally, I feel comfortable here, and whenever I speak Kannada, locals appreciate it and show their happiness. I love Bengaluru and Kannada, and we should respect their perspective. ❤

  6. Why the understanding is different for Tamil and Telugu? Why are you isolating only Hindi? You think some uneducated "Gawar " from remote Karnataka village will come and be rude to person residing in Bengaluru and contributing in city development from 15 years just because of language? Stop this Congress backed political nonsense else in nyext 15 years Urdu will become the first language. The very same people objecting to Hindi have no issues with English, Urdu, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam. What an hypocrisy

  7. 😂😂😂😂North Indians thinking that Bangalore will be impacted if they leave, if that was the case most of the North cities would be developed and much better jobs than south, we both clearly know that not the case, so better stop blabbering or if you have the guts leave the city no one will stop you and will see whose impacted

  8. It's stupid of an idea of these kind of morons who say it's my state and land etc., and one who is not from this land is like a sin. I appreciate ones respect for their culture, language and community etc., but that shouldn't become a disease saying or trying to make the other with a rule to follow an idea of cult! !
