Is Bangalore really bad for Non kannada speakers?

I am seeing a lot of hate on social media. Whenever there is a post related to Bangalore all the comments are about "aur karo kannada kannada". I have been in Bangalore for a few months now and most of the people I have talked to in Hindi have replied with some amount of Hindi. Haven't faced any discrimination. (Except in BMTC buses, the conductors are very rude, not sure if it's language related though). Wanted to see if everything I am seeing on social media is true? Or is it just propaganda spread by politicians to divide and rule.

Lived in Bangalore for over a decade now. The only time you get asked ā€œspeak in Kannadaā€ is when the other party wants to fight you for whatever reason. It’s like a go-to victim card for the other guy.

If you are here for the long run, learn the language and start interacting with your neighbors, chaiwala, bus conductor, security guard, etc. That is how I learnt the language.

Its a propaganda by BJP supporters to defame the state, taking isolated incident and making it a big issue.
