Quality of Life in Bangalore, India

Bengaluru is the slavery capital of the world. Software employees a.k.a sweatshop employees of Bengaluru are forced to work for 70 hours a week and are paid peanuts without any salary hike. While the software company founders and software company CEOs have got a hike of nearly 7000% salary increase during the past 15 years. But the hardworking middle management and frontline individual contributors get absolutely 0 pay hike.
Karnataka government and India government are the most corrupt governments in the world.

Even Japan has switched to a 4-day workweek and the Japanese citizens are paid very well. Japan people get the tax benefits.
In India, the middle class taxpayers get horrible infrastructure and apathy of the disgusting state and central governments.
Bengaluru is indeed the slavery capital of the world.

Bengaluru is now the "sweatshop capital of the world". Karnataka is ruled by fools, and Bengaluru is the fools epicentre. Bengaluru IT sweatshops employees are now forced to work for 14 hours each day, without any extra pay.
Bengaluru is an utterly disgusting place and entire Karnataka is totally run by greedy selfish hypocrites in both government and trade.

Bengaluru has become worst city and a dry, barren land. You will hardly find any greenery nowadays in Bengaluru. Water problem is a very serious issue in Bengaluru. Water quality is dangerous and worst in Bengaluru.
The temperature reaches 40°C on several summer days and heatwave in present in Bengaluru and it surrounding areas in summer.
Traffic jam, increasing summer heat, overcharging auto rickshaw drivers, frequent power cuts every day, water scarcity, inflation, increasing crime, poor food quality, pollution, dust, noise, dryness and lack of trees are all making Bengaluru a worst place to live.
The Airport is the only good thing about Bengaluru and that also is too far away from the city.
Not sure why are software companies still targeting these disgusting places such as Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi NCR and Ahmedabad.

In Bengaluru, this year the temperature has touched 40°C. Bengaluru is very hot this summer and fans are blowing hot air even at night.

Bengaluru can no longer play the pleasant weather card.
In fact, all the places such as Bengaluru, Coorg, Hassan, Mysuru, Hubballi-Dharwad, Belagavi and Pune that were boasting about their pleasant weather are now unbearably hot in summer.

Perhaps the only 2 places in Karnataka that are pleasant throughout in summer are the mountains of Kudremukha and Mullayangiri.
Kudremukha (1900 m elevation) and Mullayangiri (1925 m elevation) mountains are the only 2 places in Karnataka where you will need to wear sweater and blanket even during peak summer.

Goodbye to Bengaluru as far as your title of India's pleasant weather city is concerned. Bengaluru's title is now invalid.

Most long comments here are posted by the Bangalore Tourist Office.

Mostly positive rants about a very polluted and congested place.

Bengaluru and Hassan are twins in terms of climate, geography and Kannada accent. Bengaluru is however located 185 km to the east of Hassan city.
1. Both Bengaluru and Hassan are more than 920 meters (3000 feet) above sea level.
2. Both Bengaluru and Hassan are grasslands with pleasant dry climate and with very low humidity.
3. Both Bengaluru and Hassan are located on the same latitude. Both of them receive the same amount of annual rainfall. Both of them are located in the hinterlands of Karnataka.
4. The Kannada accent, lifestyle, food, culture, festivals in both Bengaluru and Hassan are the same.

I don't understand why is Karnataka not focusing on improving the infrastructure of Hassan. The potential of Hassan is very much underestimated, ignored and overlooked by Karnataka. Karnataka needs cities to decongest Bengaluru.

Population of Bengaluru at present is 12 million. The population of the next largest city of Karnataka barely crosses 1 million!
I believe Hassan is an ideal city (in terms of good climate and geography) to decongest Bengaluru.
While driving from Bengaluru to Hassan, the road is flat with no ups and downs and curves. It feels like an airport runway. Karnataka should widen the Bengaluru-Hassan stretch to a 6-lane road, and also improve Hassan's infrastructure.

Pollution is unbearable here, traffic is pure horror, don't even think of quality of life.

@Dinesh R on Feb 23, 2023:

MBAs, Electrical, E&C, Mechanical, Chemical and Civil Engineers are useless. Me and my pals are engineers from IIT core branches, most of them have worked for FAANG. It's the wannable IT specialists like yourself from roadside colleges like Honolulu Institute of Technology who are proving to be a burden to the city now.

Bengaluru is a software billing center only and definitely not an innovative place. China is miles ahead of India in terms of software, artificial intelligence and technology. Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad and Gurgaon - the so called software innovation centres have ZERO innovation. India does not have its own data centers for Cloud, AI and Websites.
Bengaluru and entire India can never produce ChatGPT, Bard or any great innovation in Artificial Intelligence. China is giving its answer to America in AI with its Ernie Chatbot, a competitor to ChatGPT and Bard.
https://www.outlookindia.com/business/joining-google-s-bard-and-microsoft-backed-chatgpt-baidu-to-implement-its-ernie-chatbot-from-march-news-264312

India has zero innovation and talent in software development and artificial intelligence. Indian software recruitment is entirely based in nepotism. Talented people will never get recruited in Indian software companies. Software companies in India mostly recruit useless MBA, Electrical, E&C, Mechanical, Chemical and Civil Engineers. All the Indian software employees are worst, whether they are at onshore or offshore. Indians only care about money, nothing else and are prepared to work in the worst employable conditions overtime. Indians only know to brag and scream about H1B visa and will never improve their own native country.

Never choose Bharathi Travels in Bengaluru especially the "Peace Community" agents that work for Bharathi Travels. They are the biggest cheaters, fraudsters and gangsters you will find. My honest suggestion is never trust this "Peace Community" that us filled with hooligans.

because of bangalore floods the purchasing power index has reduced by 62%

I had completed my MBBS from Ramaiah Medical College, Bengaluru. I'm presently working as a Urologist. Can I get recruited as a Software Engineer at Infosys Bengaluru?

Best city for job opportunities, shopping malls are the best in india, superb connectivity, best weather in the country for tier-1 city. Just stay close to your work place. Idiots will saying 20+kms away from job location and say it takes 1-2 hrs to reach office. No one can help dumb people. You can live in yelahanka and go to office in HSR layout then it's your dumbness and not city's infra problem!

Bengaluru and Mysuru are filled with Hindutva militants. Bengaluru is the capital of Hindutva militants in South India. Hindutva goons target and vandalize the worship places of minorities at many places in Bengaluru. Curfew and lockdowns are imposed during New Year day and New Year's eve without people's consensus. Hindutva dictatorship and harassment of minorities at its very best in Bengaluru, Kolar and Mysuru.

In Bengaluru the Christians are persecuted a lot. Indian Christians face a lot of racism, discrimination and persecution in Bengaluru companies. It is a real and honest fact. The police fully support the religious persecution in Bengaluru.

Those who dont like bengaluru were not given invitation to visit here espcially to anti nationals and north indian beggers who comes to bangalore to earn one time food as they cannot afford single time food at their native place,bcz of north indian dogs and beggers bengaluru has become like a worst place on earth 80% of north indian beggets are here and one more thing highest number of all criminal activities in bangalore run by these third class north indians and anti national community

All the airport security guards are the worst, most rude, abusive, highly uncivilized ruffians, that harass the Domestic passengers in the International Airports at Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad and throughout India. These airport security-check staff in India have Zero manners and Zero humanity for the Domestic passengers and even for the people traveling for the first time in an Airplane.
These hooligan airport security-check staff throughout India (funded by the Indian government) is the main reason as to why I will never opt for Air travel in India.

Bengaluru is the most hyped, marketed disgusting place I have ever seen. As Anonymous rightly mentioned before, many places within Bengaluru such as Malleswara, JP Nagar, Jayanagar, Basavanagudi have strict vegetarian culture. The house owners in these Bengaluru never rent their houses to Muslims. This has been happening since decades. This is a REAL FACT. On the contrary, Bengaluru localities namely Viveknagar, Tilak Nagar, Gottigere, Vittasandra, Marathahalli, etc. are notorious for Butcher culture. In these places you will find kilos of meat chubks of almost all kinds of animals hanging openly in public places for the general public view in many slaughter houses.
I don't care about the appalling marketing tactics of tbe Indian Government to say that Bengaluru is "Most livable city", "Most cosmopolitan city", "Best weather in the world" and whatnot nonsense. A place where people speaking 107 "Indian" languages reside.
People are delighted to move out of Bengaluru when permanent Work-From-Home option is avaliable. Most people don't care about your Bengaluru except for job opportunities.
Mark my words, NO foreign national from the highly developed First World countries would EVER want to permanently settle in Bengaluru. Bengaluru is a glorified, marketed hellhole and it is an honest fact.

Absolutely, that point made by the earlier person is very true. Rural India is much more livable and have great quality of life than Urban India. The big cities of India, especially the mega cities have very bad quality of life. It is a genuine fact. The big cities of India have only economy, jobs and absolutely nothing else. The biased 'livable places survey' conducted by the Indian Government is total nonsense. The countrysides, the picturesque villages, the rural places of India are highly livable. And many people have gone back to rural India during these 'Work From Home' days. Most Indians are very happy staying / working in the countryside, very close to nature and environment anyday than the bustling, chaotic megacities.

All of us Malayalees and Keralites prefer to be buried or cremated in Bangalore, if we die in the Gulf countries. Keratitis love Bangalore to be their final resting place. We Malayalees consider it an honor that our surplus black money earnings from the Gulf will be looted by the hooligan auto rickshaw drivers of Bangalore. We love to be assaulted and molested by the beggar gangsters on the roadside in Bangalore. Being a proud Malayalee, I have already booked my cremation site in Bangalore.

The transition of India from the most liberal democracy to a flawed democracy is done.
India's 'Unity in Diversity' was a concept that was admired and even envied by the world. One can never forget 'Amar Akbar Antony' (children of the same mother) and how the Hindu-Muslim-Christian brotherhood in India was unparalleled and exceptional in the entire world. But this is now history that ended approximately a decade ago.
What has happened since then? Right-wing extremist groups are ruling this country. I am being honest here, Right-wing groups in India consider Muslims and Christians as their enemies. Media is taken over by the government and the country has plummeted down sharply in the press freedom index. The economy has fallen dramatically, industries and SMEs are closing down, going bankrupt day-by-day. India was considered a 'rising' superpower in 2010, but today it is a 'setting' superpower. India's GDP per-capita income at the moment is lower than some South Asian countries too. The passport index is dismal and no signs of any significant improvement.
Throughout the internet, you will find the right-wing groups' supporters of India with their biased comments, mainly from the IT cell. Any opposition towards them in online platforms could even lead to a potential ban/regulation of that website! Dissent is getting suppressed by the administration. Lockdowns are enforced, shoved down on the people without any consensus or a rational thought process. The ignorant and arrogant politicians think they know everything and anything. People still elect their local representatives based on the lies of the Supreme Leader and his Deputy. News channels are abnormally overhyped and sensationalized. I can go on and on, but India is definitely not progressing as a good democracy and future is foggy.

RSS, VHP and all Hindutva extremist groups are boot lickers of Jews and Israel. The Jewish holy scriptures (Torah, Tanakh, Talmud) are the main source of Jihad, death penalties, genocide, oppression of women, slaughter of innocent people and babies, slavery, racism and injustice. "Jews and Hindus are brothers" is the famous slogan of Hindutva extremists and saffron IT cell all throughout social media. Judaism is the parent of radical Islam and terror. It is rightly confirmed by other people.
As the saying goes here in India, "Ganja manufacturers are heroes and never get caught, but the Ganja consumers are put in jail". Hindus are fools and are blind sycophants of Jews and Israel.

Mr. Rashakrishna, your comments about Judaism and their sacred book Torah are very true. Hindus are idol worshippers. The Torah obliges the Jews to stone the idolaters to death. It means that Hindus are the worst people according to Judaism and Jews. Then why is India licking the boots of Israel and Jews? Why do Hindus consider Jews as their brothers? It is simply to suppress Pakistan and Bangladesh. Both Pakistan and Bangladesh don't recognize the Jewish state. Pakistan, Bangladesh passports are valid for all countries except Israel. I had stayed in Bangalore for 5 years and am now living in Kuwait. Kuwait offers a much higher salary than any place in India.

I read a lot of comments on Hindus hating Christians.
This is very untrue, we Indians feel it prestigious to have our initial schooling in a convent. We have the highest tolerance for other religions.
Mr. Andrew, I suggest you to stop watching Al Jazeera and start watching VLogs that your fellow countrymen did when they were here, VLoggers don't manipulate things. ' persecution ' is the harsh word you could use. I guess YMCA is richest in India than any Hindu trusts and we are OK with that. What we are not OK with is forceful conversion by Christian missionaries in exchange for monthly ration or money.

Hindus definitely are among the most tolerant, liberal and kind hearted people in the world. All people in India, irrespective of their religion enjoy full rights in India. India celebrates and gives holidays to many festivals of different religions. But if you look at India's neighbors and many other countries in Asia and Africa, then India is by far a very benevolent, tolerant and gentle country. India is the world's largest liberal democracy with 1.5 billion people, and it is a Hindu majority country.

Anonymous is right about his/her comments. Plenty of people in Bengaluru virulent hate the Christians. The Christians especially those from India are subjugated and face intense racism, subjugation in the offices in Bengaluru. Majority of the employees, managers and entrepreneurs in Bengaluru get sadistic pleasure by persecuting Christians immensely. Me and my Christian colleagues at office have faced a lot of racism, injustice, discrimination, oppression in Bengaluru because of our religion. Bengaluru is definitely among the worst places for Christians in India. I am very honest and I am speaking the truth.

Bangalore is way more cleaner than all the Tamil Nadu cities, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Kolkata and North India. In states such as Kerala and Tamil Nadu, there is a big language barrier. People will not cooperate with you if you don't know the local language in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. They will reply you back in Malayalam or Tamil even if they know English. This language barrier you won't observe in Karnataka cities such as Bangalore and Mangalore. Overall, Bangalore is a very good place to live in India.

Bangalore is one of the worst city in South India. Only Mumbai is safest city in India.

Bangalore is an urban disaster. The Indian government has ranked this shithole Bangalore as the most livable place in the country ! Absolute crap nonsensical surveys are done by the Indian government. All the Indian politicians and their media puppets are garbage.
The survey of Numbeo is the most accurate.

Bangalore is a horrible place. Plenty of nepotism is observed in Bangalore's software companies and central government PSU industries. Most of the people don't get recruited on merit. Even foreign employees working in Bangalore's software companies also play a lot of nepotism. Talented, sincere and genuine employees never get recruited or onboarded in Bangalore. Being a localite, I find it absolutely shameful that Bangalore has become a thriving place for nepotism for all the migrants from all over India and also overseas employees. Bangalore is definitely a nightmare.

In what way is Bangalore considered a best city, Dear #Shravan Balaji? Bangalore is a terrible place to live.
Let's evaluate Bangalore

1. Pollution: Lakes don't have any aquatic life. Most of them are encroached with buildings, lakes are used for dumping human waste and household waste items. Air is filled with dust. Everything stationary gets filled with dust particles. Bangalore is nicknamed the 'Asthma capital of India'.

2. Crime: Plenty of violent crime happens in Bangalore. Rape and murder are very common here. Burglar is very common. Bangalore has a Chor Bazaar (Thief Market) at Chickpete where all the stolen items are sold. The Bangalore police supports these activities of thieves and burglars. Pickpocketing and chain-snatching are very common in the BMTC buses and in the streets. Bangalore is called the Suicide Capital of India. It is verified by reliable sources online.

3. Racism: A huge majority of Bangalore's software employees, entrepreneurs are avid supporters and followers of Hindutva militant organizations. Religious minorities are severely discriminated here. People in Bangalore are deluded and think that they are the only ones in India that can read and write in both English and Hindi.

4. Worst water supply: Bangalore is the only town in the world having 10 million population that doesn't even have piped water supply. Water is not quality checked, and entire town's water supply comes from the Water Tanker mafia. Tapeworms in the belly and hairfall problems are very common in Bangalore.

5. Looting Education and Healthcare: Primary school education costs a minimum of 1 lakh per year. Ambulances get stuck i traffic and a critical patient will be dead before he reaches the hospital. ICU treatment especially during this Covid pandemic are very expensive. There is shortage of hospitals for the population. Hospitals such as Apollo are renowned as money-extracting institutions. Bangalore and Pune are the worst affected Covid-19 cities in India.

6. Worst traffic: Needless to say this, Bangalore is ranked 6th in the world when it comes to traffic congestion. The traffic is absolutely miserable. Very often a travel of 10 km can take atleast 2 hours at many locations. People have no respect for traffic rules here. Many times a car is driven with 1 person only, people honk recklessly, overtake on the wrong side, and many cars are scratched or dented. Reaching the airport can take 2-3 hours, if you are in South Bangalore!

7. Powercuts and flooding: Powercuts are very common during summer at localities in East Bangalore. A half an hour rain in September or October is all it takes to get the entire city flooded. This is how pathetic the planning is, because of the BBMP. There are uncovered manholes and footpaths, and there are chances that during flooding, people might fall into those pits and have life-threatening consequences.

8. PG house rent: Bangalore is probably the only place I know where PG owners ask their tenants to pay rents of 10 months in advance. This is a bond system and it is very bad.

So to summarize, Bangalore has Worst quality of life. The only saving grace in this survey was the climate. And that's why the score is high. Apart from climate, Bangalore is an awful place to live. I am from Punjab and have lived in Canada. I never want to stay in Bangalore.

All these comments here are true and honest. I had been living in Bengaluru. Bengaluru is among the most racist and disgusting places in the world. Being a female, this Bengaluru is pathetic and I have been sexually harassed multiple times by the local people of this town. Many local software entrepreneurs and CEOs in Bengaluru abuse the minorities and oppress them. Discrimination and oppression is at the forefront in Bengaluru. Cows are much safer than humans in Bengaluru. I have seen it with my own eyes - people are lynched to death by mobs in Bengaluru for eating beef. The Indian media is the worst media in the world and will never report these real facts. I feel pity for @Aniket Jha for the bad things that have happened to him and his family in Bengaluru. Bengaluru is a good place for gangsters, murderers, burglars and rapists. Being a woman, I feel very frightened to live in Bengaluru. I have moved out of this town. The people are the worst in Bengaluru.

I very much agree with all the comments here. Bengaluru is a dangerous place and it has plenty of violent crime. Lot of rape, murder, theft, extortion, corruption are happening in Bengaluru everyday. Being a local Bengalurean, I fully agree that Bengaluru is among the worst places to live in the world.
As others have correctly mentioned, I honestly confirm that Bengaluru is definitely a Dead City and the Suicide Capital of India.

It is surprising to see the Media sugarcoating the harmful aspects of Hindutva terrorism and Jewish terrorism.
Both Hindutva terrorism and Jewish terrorism could sometimes be a bigger threat to world peace than Islamic terrorism.
Karnataka, especially Bengaluru, has become the headquarters of Hindutva terrorism in South India.

I speak the truth here.
As @Harikrishna has rightly mentioned here, both Orthodox Judaism and Wahhabi Islam are the root causes for violence, corruption and hate in the world at present.
Both Judaism and Islam worship the same ONE God. Both these religions have almost the same religious practices and beliefs. Islam's Jihad, subjugation of women and annihilation of infidels are found in Judaism's Torah and Tanakh. They are the original sources of destruction and hate. Islam borrowed all of them from the original Jewish holy texts. The Talmud also says very bad things and preaches hate against the Non-Jews.
The Jewish prophets such as Joshua and Elijah were the original Jihadis, they killed hundreds of innocent people (infidels) in the name of the ONE God who is invisible. This same Jewish-Islamic God also calls for the death of idolaters. God took this mass murderer Jihadi Prophet Elijah into heaven permanently !! The Jewish-Islamic God didn't find anyone else righteous !! Even other Jewish prophets such as Moses, David and Jephthah were murderers, in the name of God (forefathers of Jihad). Prophet Jacob was one of the biggest cheats and highly corrupt person in history. He is the forefather of the Jewish nation.
Islam has borrowed all these violent beliefs from the original Jewish sacred texts.
How ironic that the RSS and Hindu organizations today kiss the feet of Israel, while condemning Islam ! Double standards at its best. Judaism may not do mass conversions like Islam does, but Judaism is much more violent than Islam.
Hinduism, Dharmic religions and Christianity are much more peaceful religions. How insane is it that Hindus blindly view Judaism as the closest foreign religion to theirs ! The next time you view Hindus posting comments such as "Hindus and Jews are brothers", then the sane and normal people should wish them a complete and speedy mental recovery. We hope they get well soon.

Thank you for reading my honest and unbiased comments.
From a proud and devout Hindu.

I am from Haryana. I respect the opinions of all the commenters here.
But Bangalore is definitely a dangerous place. It is filled with hooligans and dangerous criminals. The recent riots and violence are besr example that this town is headed towards a disaster.
Most of the crimes don't get reported here. The Kannada media is a complete garbage filled with mentally challenged hooligans as news reporters.
The Malayalam media is also complete trash and they sugarcoat this hell called Bangalore.
As IIsc had correctly predicted, Bangalore has already become a Dead City.
With the 10-lane expressway getting constructed between Bangalore and Mysore, even Mysore will also become a Dead City very soon. The writing is on the wall for both Bangalore and Mysore.

Bangalore is a highly racist town. All Central Government institutions in Bangalore are highly racist organizations that discriminate on caste system.
The software companies in Bangalore are filled with RSS and Hindutva extremist followers. They severely discriminate people based on religion. Many software entrepreneurs in Bangalore also give hate speeches against religious minorities.
Bangalore is a cheater's paradise and there is absolutely no democracy in India. The RSS is inspired by dictators like Hitler and Mussolini. The entire Indian media is the worst media in the world. The entire Indian Media is fully controlled by RSS and Hindutva organizations.

Interesting discussion here, and I would like to add my viewpoints.
It is true that Orthodox Judaism is as much a threat to this world as Wahhabi Islam. Both Wahhabi Islam and Orthodox Judaism preach violence and provoke to kill idolaters and innocent Christians.
Orthodox Judaism is sugarcoated by the mainstream media, but it is dangerous to the modern world.
In today's world, not even a single branch of Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity or Jainism preaches any violence, instead they promote peace and love.
Being a Vaishya Hindu myself, I sure hope the RSS and Sangh Parivar protects and safeguards Bangalore and entire India from the dangerous Orthodox Judaism and Wahhabi Islam.

You are correct @Vishnu Raj. There is virulent hatred towards "Rice bag converts" in both India and Israel. Both RSS and Orthodox Jews hate the "Rice bag converts" community.
In Israel, this is very common and backed by Israeli government. Watch this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkbwUyycop8
Orthodox Jews of Israel are role models of the Hindutva extremist groups.

But all the Orthodox Jews and Hindutva extremists and their supporters dream of permanently settling and have become citizens of the countries of "Rice bag converts".

Bangalore is filled with racist people. Millions of people in Bangalore are supporters of RSS and fringe fundamentalist Hindutva organizations. They instigate hatred towards religious minorities.
I will tell the truth that India is much more tolerant and peaceful than all the Islamic countries in the world. But India needs to improve a lot and Hindu fundamentalism should only be aimed at stopping the spread of the so called "Religion of Peace".
Hindus have always been tolerant in the past and Hindus have always offered shelter and welcomed the persecuted Parsis, Jews, Buddhists and Christians across the world. Hindus are peaceful and tolerant and it's true.
India and Israel are sandwiched between the contiguous territory of the "Religion of Peace" from Morocco to Bangladesh. Muslims have the least amount of education among all religious groups in the world.

https://www.globalvillagespace.com/muslims-are-the-least-educated-amongst-all-the-major-religions/

Just look at neighboring Maldives and how all non-Muslim religions are suppressed, persecuted and subjugated under Sharia Law. None of the Gulf (GCC) countries offer citizenship to any non-Muslim.
In Bangalore too, most slums including Yarab Nagar, Tilak Nagar, etc. are filled with the "Religion of Peace".
I am telling real facts, and these are not my opinion.
Thanks for reading my honest comments.

Mr. Manjunath's comments are very true and genuine. The software companies in Bengaluru are filled with murderers of the mind. This is particularly true for all the Managers and Executives in Bengaluru's software companies. These people are backstabbers, do great injustice and murder people mentally.
All the software company managers, bosses in Bengaluru have corruption and blood in their hands. The righteous people suffer in the hands of these criminals in software companies in Bengaluru.
These same criminals go onsite and permanently settle in Western countries. Cheating people is an integral part of Bengaluru culture. All the software companies, its managers and bosses in Bengaluru are a shame to humanity. All these Bengaluru managers, bosses are murderers of the mind.
Also, I have been molested and raped at night in the streets of Bengaluru.
It is the absolute truth that Bengaluru has the highest number of suicides in India. Bengaluru is the "Suicide Capital of India".

People here have told correct things about Bengaluru. Majority of people in Bengaluru cheat others and you'll never get justice for the wrong things done to you. People in Bengaluru will only take sides with the powerful, extremely rich and corrupt people. Cheating, deceiving others, stealing things and flattery are very common in Bengaluru. I too agree that Bengaluru is the 'Suicide Capital of India'.

Bangalore is filled with racist people. You will face plenty of racial discrimination in Bangalore. Most local Bangalore people are liars, fraudsters and deceitful crooks.
I have stayed in Bangalore and I know these facts. I have now relocated to Navi Mumbai.

Hopefully the quality of life in Bangalore will improve in the months to come. Bangalore never had a rich history of assimilating people and cultures throughout the millenia. Bangalore was never a major trading post throughout ancient times and centuries in antiquity.
Hence cultures have not assimilated together in Bangalore.
But in most coastal cities, the cultural assimilation has happened since millenia and ancient times. This cosmopolitanism is still seen in many coastal Indian cities such as Surat, Mumbai, Alibag, Goa, Mangalore, Kozhikode, Kochi, Chennai, Pondy, Vizag and Kolkata.
These places have a rich cultural history and have been very cosmopolitan and welcoming since antiquity, as they were all major trading posts for more than a thousand years. They are India's string of pearls.
This cultural assimilation has unfortunately not happened in India's landlocked cities.
And don't get me started about "climate marketing" in landlocked cities of India.
This is one of the key factors as to why quality of living and cosmopolitanism is way better in India's coastal cities since antiquity.

I am from Singapore of Indian origin.
I must say that Singapore is much more tolerant than Bangalore. Singapore is a dictatorship, but it has achieved rapid sustainable development.
I can clearly say that Bangalore is atleast 50 years behind Singapore in terms of infrastructure, development, cleanliness, hygiene and safety. The crimes in Bangalore are also extremely high.
Many people in Bangalore and throughout India these days are in favour of dictatorship. Infact, India is headed towards dictatorship. The entire Media in India are puppets of the ruling government. The social media in India is also monitored and censored by the ruling government.
Bangalore has a long way to go to achieve good quality of life while also achieving sustainable development. I am very grateful to the people for mentioning their opinions here. It was a pleasure to read all of them.

Bangalore has to improve a lot if it has to become a sustainable city. In India, cities having a large population and area denote more development. This is false thinking.
Bangalore has plenty of crime, racism, discrimination, pollution, traffic and inflation.
The Indian Media is definitely the worst media in the world. The Indian Media hides the truth and facts, but show baseless and fake news for months.
I have to say that Numbeo is very accurate when it comes to surveys of cities and countries across the world.
Numbeo is one website that I completely trust for unbiased facts, statistics and honest comments.
