Bangalore used to be heaven in 80's. We can proudly say its the best in Asia...next to singapore (offcourse, then, we never had skyscrapers and the modernity of Singapore)...but it was a calm, lovely, beautiful city with a heart
Now...its the worst city in India...pollution, traffic, one ways, lopsided growth, exclusive IT growth and poverty side by side
IT growth and mindless politicians have raped this innocent city

yes its correct and there is no good transport except autos that too after 1 1/2 after 9 pm asking higher amount. The bus is written in kannada language other people cant find which bus goes to which place including tourist.

great thought. never go out of karnataka. this is the world for you. this is a big nation bro and to grow we need to think global not on a state level. Imagine you workin in Delhi or Bombay or Chennai tomorrow. India can grow only as a nation not a combo of states. Do you think that Bangalore would have got the same recognization had it not been in india. MNC came to invest money in India and choose Bangalore. It not like they came to Bangalore and then invested money in India

don't say karnataka! say bangalore...whts karnataka or kannadigas got to do with the growth of bangalore! its the same like maharashtrian's contribution to the growth of mumbai...both these cities grew because of outsiders! and one more thing...if you want to every outsider to learn to read kannada then FO...will u learn to write a language which is of a different script just because u live in that place???

Mr Prasanna, in Karanataka atleast you can read the bus route as it is in Arabic numerals. I was in Uttranchal (UP then) where the numerals are sanskrit or Hindi. I guess Mr VINAY is correct. Gone are those days where you must learn Hindi to get a Govt Job. Now it is time to learn the local language at it helps you more. And VINAY, in my company they have Kannada classes for employees and we are learning. Hope you appreciate our spirit. Aside of these I guess ppl whose mother tongue is Hindi expect the whole of India to learn it. I guess it shows their arrogance. They should be given the Tamil Nadu treatment where Hindi was wiped off the face of Tamilnadu. If the same treatment is given to Hindi else where in other non hindi states, then Hindi will have its day!!!

Very true, Bangalore used to be nice place stay before this so called IT Boom happened. And the authorities are not bothered and just minting money by encouraging all inhuman and inhabitable practices. Killing trees means killing bangalore
