This whole reservations for “Kannadigas” in Karnataka was a long time coming. For more than a decade BJP has been successfully brainwashing people in Karnataka against muslims, Tamilians, North Indians and even foreigners. Nowhere else are you going to find this level of hate against non Kannadigas as much as in Bangalore.
That said, I dont know why Bangalore became so brashly outwardly toxic like this. They could’ve easily just adopted the Chennai framework and given everyone the silent treatment for not speaking their local language.
