I think Girish doesn't seem to have enough data or time to decide; We need to be honest in admitting deficieny first & then only we can start think of improvements. I just wish him to ask what are the good characteristics of city.
First of all,what happened to Dravidan race theory and all? periyar was shouting about one South Indian race and today DMK supporters are rabid haters of Kannadingas. What a shame on these DMK types?
And ditto applies for Vatal Nagaraj supporters. They are basically casteist feudal types who always talk about Kannada pride etc and that is all only to 1) show their own subcaste power against FCs 2) To spread hatred against tamils.
All this is because we people listen more to politicians like Karunanidhi or Deve Gowda - these kind of politicians will divide and incite hatred because their objective is to install family rule and make the states property of the respective families.
People should be careful and not blindly believe in what leaders utter.

MGR Fan: "People should be careful and not blindly believe in what leaders utter."
This is a very immature & uninformed statement. Before you get angry let me explain. We all know about the Indian masses. 80% of them aren't literate and can't think clearly. So poor uneducated Indian electorate can't analyze what their leaders say, like you and me can. They can only "blindly believe". If you expect your masses to think, analyze and then decide, then unfortunately you are not in tune with reality and are generations ahead. It will take atleast 30-40 years or more for that to happen here.
In fact, that is exactly what makes a great leader in India. A leader here aspires to grow in stature so that their words are believed without getting questioned or analyzed.
In these times, we require a leader who can convince the masses that caste politics is bad, agriculture is a losing profession, reservations will not help, religion based identity doesn't make sense and so on, by cleverly speaking in a language that appeals to both lower, middle and upper classes..
Its a huge ask and a challenge. I am only counting that someone who can accept this challenge is present in some political party in lower ranks and is waiting to get to the limelight.

This can happen in 1 year, not 30... If only the govt or police or any one wit power and influence at his disposal does something... BUt then, if noone does anything, and ppl keep askin when the masses wil think,tis most likely that even after 30 years, Some person like me or you would say that India would develop in another 30 years...
Bangalore is not a good city. The infrastructure is worst than any big Indian city and most tier III cities. The auto drivers are crooks. The poor people from this city seem to hate all fair color north Indian looking folks. Compared to cities like Bombay, Delhi, Chandigarh, Pune, the people look unglamarous and not modern.

Mr. MGR First you should learn to respect the regional lang. whereever you go. It is not the states like Karnataka or any other north states. Where people commonly speak Hindi or many lang. South is different, particularly TN is fully different where more than 95% of the peoples lang. speak tamil. So Tamil plays vital roles in every sectors from Business, private, Govt. and even IT cos. and moreover People are majority of them are tamilian. Though English is used only for business & official purpose.
If say to learn the Tamil lang. Suddenly you blame me as DMK supporter. I am not a DMK or ADMK supporter. I am justifying and concerned towards Tamil lang.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION I KNOW TO READ, WRITE AND SPEAK HINDI FLUENTLY. In todays scenario everything is changed MGR, gone are the days. In today in TN you can find many learning Hindi. Becoz to find better opportunites and better employment. But our tamil concern is that "DON'T IMPOSE HINDI" When we people learn Hindi in the North after finding good opportunites. Why not you don't learnt Tamil??And next you say that I am Tamil Fanatic. VAZHAGA TAMIL.

For Raghunath and MGR Fan: Need drives the modern market friendly democratic society, not force. If a Punjabi has a degree in theology and wants to research temples of Chola dynasty, he will learn Tamil. If a Bengali has an IIT degree and works for Infosys in Chennai, he will not learn Tamil no matter how hard your DMK or the society tries. But if both of the above want to have a vibrant social life being in Tanjore or Chennai, they both will automatically learn Tamil! And, for MGR Fan - although I appreciate the spirit of your statement when you say English is the passport to the world, you have to understand that culture and identity of any region comes from the native language and it can't be ignore in the personal space. (as against the preference is using English in the professional space). Look at Europe. Although any damn guy knows the power of English, the art-culture scene in Italy, Spain or France is fully dominated by Italian, Spanish and French languages respectively.

Mr Raghunath, are you one of those DMK supporting hypocrats who talk about Tamil, but watch Hindi movies and drool at North Indian girls?
English is the link language of India and yes, Tamils dont know Hindi (incl me) but it is goodenough if North Indians visiting South India know good english.English should do. We cant expect everyone to learn all the 18 languages of India. That is something only jobless intellectuals and communist/DMK types can do. We are normal people and enough if we can speak good english. English is the passport for whole world

In that case, d$cks like you who reach London shouldnt mouth Hindi there. The Brits dont like hearing Hindi there. Would we indian's adhere to it...no we won't. Similarly, keep your Urdubashing to yourself you Advani-co?k-sucker
DMK claims itself to be a party representing dravidans(all south Indians). Bangalore in a sense is a Melting pot of all 4 South Indian States people - lots of Malayalees, huge number of Telugu people, lots of Tamil immigrants and of course Kannadinga Sons of soil , they all are making Bangalore one wonderful city .
Can DMK win an election in this city? If they cant, why do they still talk about Aryans and Dravidans?

I don't know why DMK talks about Aryans and Dravidians, but sane people need to talk about Aryans. Because Aryans came from foreign lands and after all the other invaders have left, they are still here and are torturing us Indians.
RE:QUESTION - CAN DMK WIN A SINGLE ELECTION IN BANGALORE?

Aryans came from foreign lands? So who exactly is an aryan? The white skinned leaders of DMK and the white skinned dalits like sushilkumar shinde, are they aryans or what?
And biology tells that all humans evolved from monkeys in africa... so did dravidans spring from the talacauvery or the mountains of coorg?
And you have a name Manjula, how come ? Who is torturing who? It is DMK which is torturing and harrasing millions of Tamils in name of race theory... and as for leaving , Anglo Indians and Mughals all are still here and doing fine, maybe you should leave your hatred for a particular caste first

How many tamils or telugu first generation migrants in Bangalore do you think have voting rights? Unless if someone is born here, I don't see any migrant really bothered to get voting rights here.. So I wouldn't consider tamils/telegus i Bangalore making a real difference in terms of electorate. Thats the reason why there is near total absence of mentioning migrants in the election time. Moreover, I don't think DMK will ever bother to win a seat here. It has 100% tamil identity based roots.

having lived most of my life in hinterlands of UP, MP, Raj...i ve occassionly visited places like banglore, mysore, kochi, chennai. Infact I found chennai as one of the most nicely administered city. The system runs so well there...n may be thats y residents of chennai r so fanatic abt their city n all..coz its quite so perfect and totally in line with the ethos n culture of its residents. When you look at Delhi, pune and for that matter even Banglore, the locals will usually say that their city has changed..may be in its futile attempt to accomodate ppl frm different cultures/regions. If a city wants to become cosmopolitan than such tradeoffs cant be undone. And thats why may be ask any outsider..he ll comment on chennai as xenophobic! But then wats wrong in it??

I think this idiot sameer might have experienced some of the kickings from the tamilian in his life for mischievous comments on the tamilians.

It is sure Bangalore is a beautiful city. Every year many visits, professionals, students, politicians, business men and all type of people they visit Bangalore. I myself have visited 3 times so far, in 80s, 90s and early 2002. Being a south Indian I did not find anything more to elaborate and write about Bangalore. I enjoyed my stay for a week long always when I had been to that city.
I lived more in northern cities that in south of India, but I never find any difference in the stay in cities in northern except language, food and some celeberations.
I have travelled out to many countries and worked in diffeerent countries and enjoyed living in different cities and people and never thought of praising a city that I have travelled and abusing a city for their worst arrangements also. Girish I dont know what he wanted to prove, whether he sis afrequent traveller or he travels with foreigners.

Keep up your ignorance. There are plenty of Northies not only in Chennai but down south. If you go to Tanjore you will find a lot of Marthies (Marathis ruled Tanjore for a while) and if you go to Madurai, you will find Saurashtrians (There is a college called Saurashtra college in Madurai). If you go to smaller towns, you will find Rajastanis ...Smart people know how to survive, mingle and do well. Some people can only give excuses
