What's wrong with Bangalore!
Just saw another post where someone had visited Bangalore a few years back for a short duration and shared their experience. At the end, it read what has really changed that we are hearing so much about. One of the guys starts calling North Indians trash and asking them to leave bangalore. Mind you, there have been no abuses or bad words from any North Indian on the thread. What is it that these people are afraid of? Is it the insecurity to get good jobs now that people with better skills are moving to Bangalore? Why are they linking their culture to their language?

This is a perspective from a non-local.
Insecure people. Unfortunately businesses don't care about your origin but your skill. It kills them to see talented folk get what they deserve. When jobless good for nothing folk have no identity they turn to things like "motherland" "my language superior". Just a bad case of frustration. Work and earn your rightful place. Simple
Because this city just sucks
Everything about Bangalore sucks.
It's probably political forces that are driving the pro-Kannadiga sentiment in the average public right now. It's surprisingly easy to manipulate the public sentiment if you have some control over the mass media or social media. As someone commented here, cherry picking the crimes committed by people of other states, sharing them thousands of times to hundreds of thousands of people, and these people will think that northerners are driving up crime. Logically speaking, the poor, marginalised people, most of which are locals, are more likely to commit crimes that go unreported than immigrants, but ignoring those conclusions, and highlighting the crimes will mold the political inclinations of a local.
I get their point of view too, but I feel that such regressive point of view is only applicable for tier 2-3 cities or small towns. You'd be an idiot to not learn their language, or try to assimilate in their culture, but a metropolitan city, if it aims to be a destination for talent, should be able to support a multilingual and a multicultural community.
Bangalore is great. But people don’t exist peacefully together here. The tensions between the old natives and the new natives is real
