An observation
Is it just me or all autowalas have intentionally started speaking in only kannada after that viral video? Today an autowala in the morning started teaching me kannada and asking me how much kannada i know. I spoke a few sentences, i was thinking had i not uttered those he would have definitely given me a lecture.

It's not an outsider or insider thing. It's more how accommodating the people of Karnataka have been.
Even though it's not our mother tongue we try to learn Hindi, but the same is not reciprocated. Instead we are constantly mocked for our accent, called a "madarasan ". Even the famous Tarak Mehta ka oolta chasma has an aiyaiyo background sound for the South Indian man.
How you feel like shit now, we have felt constantly.
Tarak mehta also has a gujju guy with an accent and is a constant target of jokes. Not defending anyone here, just that not just one state is stereotyped.
Of course, not saying Karnataka is only being stereotyped. But everyone has to fight their own battles. Just because everyone is being stereotyped, doesn't make it suddenly right or something you can ignore
I have constantly felt mistreated because I’m a Hindi speaker and it’s sucks. Anyone know why this bias even exists. This isn’t true in other parts of India I felt
I felt that today, that the autowala was trying to humiliate me for not knowing kannada. I have been in BLR for quite some time now. Their behaviour wasn't like this earlier.
@AstroBubbles kinda shameful to be honest that this is the situation in one of our top cities
Disclaimer: i am all for learning kannada, but it seemed like they are getting angry about it
Because of one viral video where northie couple techies forced auto guy to speak in Hindi which triggered auto wallas.
Yeah, quite shitty of that couple to ask the guy to speak Hindi. The freaking sense of entitlement is maddening!
Learn a few words and they will be happy, it's not a tough language and interperse with English...astay
I wrote in the post that i spoke a few sentences in kannada.
Learn like 5 words and use them with the autowallahs everytime chances are they would appreciate the effort
This outsider-insider thing is so stupid.
I am all for respecting the local culture, and will always try to speak in a language understood by the local person, but I have huge problem with the notion of “Locals vs Outsiders. Nobody can stop anyone from working anywhere in the country. Auto wallas are not obligated to learn Hindi, nor the others are obligated to learn the local language (although it does come handy). Peace.
