Quality of Life in Bangalore, India

Bangalore very nice place to work and stay happy and healthy, i love this place Namma Bengaluru

Bengaluru resembles the Karnataka hill stations in the Western Ghats such as Madikeri, Sakleshpur, Hassan, Chikmagalur, Mudigere, Virajpet and Horanadu. It is remarkable how similar Bengaluru is to these Western Ghats places regarding pleasant climate and elevation and yet be around 260 km away from the Western Ghats. Karnataka found another hill station called Bengaluru that's right at the Tamil Nadu border and also only 80 km away from Andhra Pradesh border. Almost all the locals of Bengaluru can speak Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu.
Whenever I'm in Bengaluru, I always feel like I'm actually in the Western Ghats and that's due to the splendid climate of both Bengaluru and Western Ghats.
Places of Bengaluru such as Lalbagh, Cubbon Park, IISc and IIM campuses, Bannerghatta National Park resemble the forests of Western Ghats in many ways.
And also Bengaluru and Hassan are literally the same geographically. Both Bengaluru and Hassan have flat topography situated at well over 900 meters elevation from sea level.
Karnataka wanted to make a pleasant climate hill station as its capital, but it's ironic they didn't choose a place in the Western Ghats.

I agree that pollution abd traffic are high, but Bangalore is a megacity with population greater than 13 million. It is more than any USA/Canadian/Australian/United Kingdom/European/UAE/Russian city. Even the cities from those countries and continents suffer from high traffic and pollution.

Bangalore being the technology hub of India has made India proud. Bangalore is the headquarters of ISRO and other Astrophysics, Aeronautics and AI robotics Indian companies. ISRO made India proud by being the first and only country till date to successfully land and operate a rover in the Moon's south pole. This weekend ISRO will deploy a probe Aditya to study the Sun from the Sun-Earth L1 point.
ISRO is also planning for Mangalyaan-2 and will send a rover to land on Mars in the very near future. ISRO will also launch Shukrayaan and put an orbiter around Venus to study this planet's atmosphere. ISRO scientists have achieved and will achieve all of these with a very low cost budget.
Bangalore has great weather with mild temperatures and rain throughout the year. Bangalore climate is one of the best in the world. Bangalore is already a major software and hardware hub, it is prominent in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. Bangalore also has a lot of greenery and parks, and a majority of its roads are tree-lined, unlike many other large cities in India and the world.
The local Bangalore people are very welcoming, hospitable and friendly, and they treat people with respect.

I find a lot of negative comments here, I don't think any of them have been made by an Indian, could be possibly Pakistani as they don't have any IT hub unlike India's Bangalore, pune, gurugram, Hyderabad etc. They are continuously talking about China, dude really? China is where they are today because their recovery started b4 1991. And do you know about the dictatorship and lack of freedom of speech and expression in China? The communist party is in power 4 ages, many doctors were killed in covid for being whistle-blowers. Or possibly they are NRIs or people who revoked the indian citizenship and are now regretting their choice to move to USA, Canada, UK etc. Rising crime rates, neverending taxes, inflation, poor weather, high healthcare costs, mass shootings they have got'em all! The government has also started to focus on R&D and innovation, scholarships for researchers is now more than what used to be, we were lagging in the past due to red tapism. India's growth trajectory over the past few years has been unparalled and we are slated to be the 3rd largest economy by 2027, according to IMF. DEAL WITH IT!!!

All the software hubs of India such as Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, NCR and Kolkata recruit employees only based on nepotism. The Indian software industry has no talent whatsoever. This includes Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Cisco, etc and also TCS, Infosys, Wipro, CTS, Tech Mahindra, Accenture and Capgemini. All of these software companies in India recruit people based on nepotism. They only want billing, revenue, flexible labor and nothing else. Indians never innovate and always copy code from Github. Indians are the worst software employees both at on-site and at offshore.

Bengaluru being called a Silicon city is a joke. Bengaluru was to be the innovation center of India. Instead it has become a billing center, and providing cheap flexible labor to the great foreign software companies such as Google, Microsoft and Amazon.
India will never make its mark or shine in Artificial Intelligence in this way.
Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Pune techies can never create another ChatGPT or Bard. All the Indian software companies care about are billing and utilization.
India does not even its own Data Mining system, it does not have its own Compute infrastructure needed for AI and the Desi ChatGPT.
Why does Bengaluru boast and brag so much?
The best the Indian techies can do in AI is to leave India for good and settle in California on the other side of the world.
This is how deplorable India and its so called "Silicon cities" are when it comes to AI and Compute infrastructure. India still begs with America for all the software, Cloud, Web and other infrastructure. India does not have anything of its own. In this regard, China is doing very good.

People and weather is very good. Tolerant, acceptance, negligible racism comparably. There might be slight bias against Muslim considering few folks from community was caught in terror cases from Bangalore and nearby areas. Police is very bad and partner with criminals for theft and burglary cases. In large, you are safe. Infra is work in progress considering city was not planned for high migration. Better income ratio compare to other Indian cities. No riots at all. Best part is people are educated and helpful in general.

Bangalore is the tech powerhouse. Only thing is poor labour laws and WLB and disgusting traffic.

I see a lot of vandals on this page mostly from a particular community talking bad about the city, their ghettoes are indeed most unsafe places of the city where you will not see a single women walking alone during night or after sunset, recently in 2020 they burnt an entire locality for mere a social media post. The moment you enter those ghettoes you will be welcomed by stench and stink of gutter and decomposing meat and blood. All the shady places of the city are in and around of these ghettoes, which is also true for other indian cities, be its Chor Bazar, Red Light Areas or any other illegal business, ghettoes are the hot spots of such activities.

In Banglore you will get food from all over India, north indian, south Indian, Tamil, Andhra, Mangalore, coastal, Kerala, Nati style, Dakkshin Kannada, Uttar kannada, North East, Bihari, Bengali, Odiya probably all flavours of Indian food, this is a paradise for Biriyani lovers as you get maximum varities of Biriyanis like Awadhi, Kolkata, Hyderabadi, Nellore, Muradabadi, Kerala, Donne Biriyani etc. After coming here I realised that south Indian food is not just about Idli dosa.

Public transport needs a lot of improvement, bus conductors should be taught how to behave in a cosmopolitan city, they do not treat immigrants properly, in seven years I hardly used their services, Auto Walas asks for higher fair during night, some of them are rowdies and probably snti social elements. Its an awesome place for night life, weekend getaways.

The city is safe, i used to drive around the city till like 3 AM in the morning taking chai sutta breaks at random places of the city. But yeah, you need to be alert to avoid/ignore rowdies, thugs and stranger men or women.

Bangalore is filled with murderers, rapists, burglars and cheaters. My house in Bangalore had been under attack of thieves and they stole plenty of items many times. My house doors, windows were shattered many times. The "purchasing power" statistics of Bangalore in this website are fake. All other details and comments about Bangalore in this website are true and genuine.
Bangalore is a paradise for criminals. The Bangalore police support the criminals and Chor Bazaar. Bangalore is definitely among the absolute worst places to live in India.

Muslims are also persecuted in Bengaluru and its software companies and government organizations. Many software company HRs in Bengaluru have refused to recruit me because I'm a Muslim. I have been denied accommodation in Bengaluru's apartments also because I am a Muslim. I have faced a lot of racism from the majority Hindus in Bengaluru.

Indian software industry is crap. Indian software engineers are the worst in the planet. In Indian software companies, you'll have Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, Electrical Engineers, BCom, MBA that don't know anything about computer science getting recruited easily. These same fools become software managers and boss over their subordinates with crappy Agile micromanagement activities.

In Bengaluru Airport, I was harassed multiple times. I have worst experience in Bengaluru Airport. I have missed my flights from Bengaluru Airport many times because of the worst traffic. Inside the Bengaluru Airport, the airport security check staff have told me "Get lost you moron", "You are a psychopath". All of these were domestic flight experiences. On September, the airport security check person had slapped me, after I told him that he was rude. He verbally abused me first.
I am very genuine, sincere and honest with my comments. All the marketing about Bengaluru being a technology hub are "paid fake news" circulated by the Indian media.
I hate Bengaluru and its people very much. Bengaluru is the worst place I have visited in India. I have gone back to my hometown of Erode.

I completely agree with the points mentioned by earlier commenters on racial, religious discrimination, lack of safety, pollution, water crisis, overhyped marketing in Bengaluru.
But Bengaluru is the only city that offers the highest salary in India

Kindly check this:
https://m.economictimes.com/news/economy/indicators/bengaluru-highest-paying-city-it-highest-paying-industry-in-india-report/articleshow/72885888.cms

Bengaluru is the world's fastest growing technology hub, Bengaluru is ahead of even London, Dubai, Singapore, European, Canadian and Australian cities:
https://m.timesofindia.com/business/india-business/bengaluru-worlds-fastest-growing-tech-hub-london-second-report/articleshow/80262770.cms

Thus, Bengaluru retains the talent pool within India, and to a certain extent prevents the migration of white-collared Indian employees to foreign countries. Hence Bengaluru is rightfully the technology, research, startup and innovation capital of India.

The pleasant climate, the upcoming infrastructure, strategic location and connectivity are added advantages to Bengaluru.

Many apartments and house owners within Bengaluru never rent their homes to Muslims. Racism at its very best here in Bengaluru since generations.
However, just visit places within Bengaluru such Ulsoor, Neelasandra, Bettadasapura, Gottigere, Adugodi and find massive pieces of sheep and goats hanging for public display in the butcher shops.
Bengaluru is a livable town for cows only, but not for non-Hindus and others.

Bangalore along with Mumbai, Pune, Chennai and Delhi are hellholes of the world. They are disgusting places. The smaller towns and villages of India are amongst the most livable places. Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune and Chennai are not at all livable, intact they are nauseating places, conpletely contrary to the Indian Government survey. Rural India and its smaller towns have better quality of life and highly livable.

I would agree with many points that Manoj has mentioned except on his points on religion and democracy. I have posted my comments in Mumbai's Quality of Life page in this site today.
Overall, I feel that Bangalore and Mumbai have great Quality of Life. I have lived in many developed countries abroad and still feel that Bangalore has excellent quality of life. Nowadays even the air quality has improved a lot. Bangalore has the advantage of pleasant climate throughout the year and being the Technology and Research capital of India. Bangalore is a great place to live. Bangalore is indeed the most cosmopolitan city in India, followed by Mumbai. Cost of living is much cheaper in India.
Bangalore has plenty of treelined roads, parks, gardens and it is known for its beautiful flowers, good airport and helpful people.

Great comments by so many people here. Young Hindu youth all over India are getting brainwashed by RSS and Sangh Parivar organizations. I still remember a Hindu priest saying that both Hindus and Jews don't believe in the concept of Hell. But in reality, the Jewish God has ordered for 'Hell on Earth'. Think of any disgusting work that is repulsive in today's world, the Jewish God has commanded his prophets and followers to do such activities. These are all there in their Torah, the Tanakh and also in the Talmud. The Jewish God is completely a psychotic, evil, invisible, bloodthirsty, terror God.
RSS, VHP and Sanghi organizations across India are run by shameless sycophants of Israel and ignorant brainwashed Hindu people. This also includes India's pathetic Media and the saffron online IT cell members.

I am adding few more details for my earlier comments today. Hinduism worships around 30 million Gods, while both Islam and Judaism worship only 1 God. Muslims and Jews are strict monotheists. It is the worst sin in both Islam and Judaism to worship more than 1 God or any non-transcendent entity. Israel has Sharia courts in many of its cities and towns. By far, the closest religion to Islam is Judaism.
I have a question: Why do many Indians dream of working even as menial labourers in the Middle-East countries. I have observed enormous number of Indians working as cheap labourers throughout the Middle-East. Why? Because highly skilled professionals in India earn much lesser than daily wage labourers in the Middle-East countries.

People are hated in Bengaluru when they disrespect the local tradition. People of Bengaluru hate others if they disrespect the local language.
Once in Rome, be a Roman. As simple as that.
6.5million people travel to France in a year. That doesn't mean France was built by foreigners. Each person tries to talk in French, for at least "Bonjour". 11million people live in Bengaluru, these Biharis, UP, Tamilans, Malayali kutti, Andhra vallu and Marathas come to Bangalore, and show huge disrespect to our local language and culture. That's how they get hated? Wouldn't you be kicked out of the Korean restaurant if u tell that their food is half cooked?

As a Christian, I certainly agree with Bruce's opinion. Hinduism is a very benevolent, tolerant, non-violent and good religion. I am thankful to the Hindu people for giving me full rights and liberties in India. I am happy to be living in India. I never faced any problem in this country. This is my opinion.

I am from New Jersey, USA and it is sad to observe the level of persecution and discrimination Christians are facing in India at the moment. But this isn't very peculiar. Christians are severely hated and persecuted in Muslim countries too. Many Jews also hate Christians very much. China also hates Christians as well. Indian Christians are mostly well educated and they are indeed welcome to the USA. I hope other Christian countries around the world open the doors and relax the visa restrictions for the Indian Christians, you are always welcome to America.

Bengaluru is one of the worst places in India to live as a Christian. Most people in Bengaluru hate Christians very much. Indian Christians face a lot of discrimination, persecution, racism in the workplaces of Bengaluru. Christians have to tolerate the cheaters, liars, haters, bigots, highly corrupt people in the workplaces of Bengaluru. Bengaluru is a horrible place for Christians. Truth and facts are bitter to hear.

Bengaluru is much cleaner than Chennai, Coimbatore and Mumbai. It is a true fact.

Everyone knows that Bengaluru is a glorified shithole. Bengaluru has everything to offer such as suffocating air pollution, worst traffic, lakes and rivers that catch fire, extreme racism, cheating and discrimination, nepotism, corruption, looting landlords, educationists that overcharge the tuition fees, critical patients that die on the roads due to traffic jams.
The Indian politicians that have made the Ease of Living survey by saying Bengaluru is most livable are idiots. I wish and hope all the Indian politicians and journalists drown in the polluted frothing lakes and rivers of Bengaluru.

Almost all the surveys at an international level are extremely biased and loaded with white hegemony and propaganda. Some of the surveys include Global Peace Index, Where-to-be-born index, freedom index, transparency index, climate index, happiness index, etc.
I have lived in many so called "highly developed" western countries. They have nothing special to offer except for high salary.
Indians are among the most peaceful and tolerant people on the planet. The only factor favorable in western countries is high salary.
Don't get me started about the gun culture in US or the number of countries looted by the European nations. In US, gun can be used to threaten someone and this will never get reported.
Sorry to be blunt, but all the Western Countries are a lunatic asylum hiding behind the veil of fake tolerance and peace.
In India, we have our own Garbage media that was nurtured by the horrible British news channels.
I tell you the truth, Indians migrate to western countries just to earn more money. There is nothing worth mentioning about foreign countries except for high economy and cash. Most of the intolerant, hegemonic, narcissistic people are found in the western countries. I have been there and been a victim of all of these incidents.

Bangalore is indeed one of the worst cities of India. Having stayed in most of the major cities of India, I have no doubt saying this. Geographically it is a great place, the people, especially the local population are a bunch of crooks and cheaters. The cheating ability of Bangaloreans is at par with those of Delhi. If Delhi is the cheating and crime capital of North India, Bangalore takes the title for South India. The key to staying in Bangalore if at all is complete avoidance of local people. Local people of Bangalore are merely hooligans and goons, whose only work is to find non-Bangaloreans and cheat/loot them to the best extent possible.

One of the best cities I have ever visited in India. Can't wait to visit again:))))

I had stayed in Bengaluru. I am very scared to live here. Both my daughters were raped and murdered in the streets in Bengaluru. I had suffered depression here due to the people, and thought of committing suicide. I will never return back to Bengaluru.

People have spoken about global terrorism and its impact in Karnataka and Bengaluru. Let me add onto the good observations made by other people.
I very much agree that Islam is by far the most violent religion at present.
But Islam's core doctrine except submission comes from Judaism. Judaism's Torah and the Masoretic Text - 24 books are the instigators of global terrorism, capital punishments, corruption and wars. Quran has copied these beliefs and it still enforces them. The Israeli God Yahweh had ordered the deaths of thousands of innocent people. The Islamic God is exactly the same. The Torah says that people were also killed by stoning for picking up stones on the Sabbath !! Both Torah and Quran also enforce capital punishment for Blasphemy, Apostasy and Idolatry. Thousands of innocent babies also died because of the Jewish-Islamic God. The Torah, Masoretic Text, Talmud, Quran and Hadith are the instigators and pillars of global terrorism and violence at present.
Hindu terrorism although of a much lesser scale, is also on the rise in many places in India including Bengaluru. Religious minorities are targeted by saffron terror groups and many innocent people are lynched to death for eating beef. Karnataka will only get worse. But millions of Hindus show blind love to Judaism without acknowledging its role in the upbringing of Islam's dangerous ideologies.
It's a shame that millions of RSS Hindu supporters in Bengaluru don't know the real facts.
Thanks for reading. Have a great day !

I am very grateful and impressed by the honesty and sincerity of all the people that have posted their valuable comments here.
Let's hope and do our very best to make Bengaluru a peaceful and livable city. The recent rape and murder of an Assamese girl in Bengaluru is a very shameful incident.
We should all try to improve the safety, infrastructure and Quality of Life in Bengaluru. With our dedicated efforts, we will have a bright and prosperous Bengaluru for generations to come.

I very much agree with @Mithun. Bangalore is already a Dead city. With the construction of the expressway, Mysore will also soon become a Dead city.

I would like to tell that mostly good people along with few bad people are there in all religions. Please do not generalize. So let's not nitpick any particular religion or caste. Let us all live in peace and harmony with each other. Live and Let Live. Let us all try to improve the Quality of Life in the places we are living now.

In Bangalore, innocent Muslims and Christians are targeted by Brahmins.
Bangalore is a melting pot of Brahmins from all over India. Brahmins virulently hate Muslims and Christians. These Brahmins and RSS followers spew hatred against Muslims and Christians.
In rural India, many innocent Muslims and Christans are lynched and burned to death by Brahmins and conservative Hindutva extremist supporters. The Indian media never reports these facts.
India is among the top 10 worst countries in the world to live as a Christian. It will only get worse now because RSS is ruling both India and Karnataka.
But these same Brahmins settle permanently in USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Germany, Denmark, UAE, Kuwait, etc.
Bangalore is a place where Brahmins and conservative Hindutva fanatics give hate speeches against Muslims and Christians.

Nice comments from Kamakshi and Vishnu. In addition to Hindus and Jews, even the followers of the "Religion of Peace" are becoming citizens in large numbers in the countries of "Rice bag converts".
At present, the "Rice bag converts" are welcoming people of all religions into their countries with open arms.

Disclaimer: I am a Hindu from Bengaluru. Read my comments only if you are not offended.

There is a reason as to why India is among the least developed and least progressive and most corrupt countries of the world. It is because 95% of India consists of Hindus and Muslims.
Both Hindus and Muslims are the least educated groups in the entire world. Please see this:

https://www.worldreligionnews.com/religion-news/which-religious-groups-are-the-most-educated

"Rice bag converts" and Jews are the most educated people in the world. There is a reason why so many Jews have left India and have settled in Israel and the countries of "Rice bag converts". No foreign Jew would ever want to permanently settle and become a citizen of India. As long as India grows with RSS and ISIS followers, India will never develop. There is plenty of persecution, racism and hypocrisy towards "Rice bag converts" in India.

Being a woman, I am ashamed to say that Bengaluru is extremely unsafe for women. Cows are much more safer than Humans in Bengaluru. It is a real fact. Humans are harassed; the women are gangraped, molested and sometimes even killed. But cows are worshipped and cow-dung is sacred here in Bengaluru. There are daily powercuts for several hours in Bengaluru. Heavy rain or summer could lead to most of the day without any electricity.
India is indeed filled with rape culture. Just look at the population of the country. Having highly populated cities means that places are developed. This is the pathetic mindset of Indians. Shameless uncultured people from Bengaluru beg for onsite in companies and settle permanently in Western countries. The entire Indian Media is a puppet of the government. Indian Media and Indian Politicians are the worst in the world.

Bangalore is indeed the 'Suicide Capital of India'. Bangalore is filled with liars, deceivers, bullies, cheats and swindlers. There are plenty of people in Bangalore that can murder your mind.
I have lost both of my children due to suicide. They were both software engineers and had faced severe mental depression and stress due to many criminal-minded people in software companies. But these same criminal-masterminded people dream of getting onsite and settling in Western countries. They will completely spoil those countries as well.
Nobody can bring back the lives of my children.

I completely agree with the comments of @Arshad. Bangalore has a vast majority of highly racist people. Most people in Bangalore are fraudsters, notorious liars and cheat other people. Bangalore is rightly called the 'Suicide Capital of India', according to plenty of reliable sources.

Bangalore is definitely not a green city. It has some roadside trees, but it is a concrete jungle.
It is a disastrously planned city, where you don't even have piped water supply.
The water tanker mafia fully controls and is in-charge the water supply in Bangalore. The water quality is not at all good.
The climate is dry, the air is filled with dust in Bangalore. You will definitely get Asthma if you stay in Bangalore for a long time. Bangalore is the Asthma Capital of India.
You will have a hard time with drunkards at night in Bangalore, if you're walking in the streets alone. India's pub capital also produces intoxicated people dominating the roads at night. Accidents are quite high and it will be hard to spot cars without any dents or major scratches. This is also due to the severe traffic congestion. Plenty of people in Bangalore are also living in a delusion that they are the only ones that can read and speak both English and Hindi. NIMHANS can get more patients like these people.
Bellandur and Varthur lakes are filled with pollutants and foam. They have also caught fire ! All the handful of surviving lakes in Bangalore are highly polluted or on the verge of encroachment.
Bangalore's traffic congestion is among the worst in the world.
Auto drivers will overcharge you with exorbitant rates. Buses are very few and inconvenient for the population of Bangalore. Metrorail project is a scam and a failure. The roads are awful especially around the IT parks. Sidewalks are cracked and broken. Half hour rain in August and September can flood the entire city of Bangalore. Pedestrians have a life-threatening risk of falling into uncovered manholes, cracked sidewalks during these floods. The Bangalore Airport is a 3 hour drive in the evening from the southern parts of the city! The security staff in the Bangalore Airport are extremely rude for even domestic flight travellers.
Power cuts are very frequent and can last for several hours in India's Technology Capital - Bangalore.
I am happy that I have permanently out of Bangalore. I never want to visit Bangalore again in my life.

I am from Ranchi in Jharkhand.
I definitely agree with all the comments here. Bengaluru is certainly a horrible place to live.
Most local people of Bengaluru are crooked and like to flatter people with lies. They will play games behind your back. Sorry if I have offended people. I just speak the truth.

I have suffered immensely when I have stayed in Bengaluru. Plenty of people in Bengaluru have cheated me and have made me go into severe depression. I had to move back to Ranchi to live with my parents and they comforted me. They also told me to never go to Bengaluru again.

I honestly like many places in Southern India, but Bengaluru is certainly the worst place I have ever lived. And this is due to the people of Bengaluru and the migrated people over there.

I am a Hindu Kshatriya from Bangalore.
I am very sorry to be blunt here, but Bangalore is among the top places for Christian persecution in India. Bangalore has millions of followers of RSS, Bajrang Dal and Sangh Parivar. These RSS Sanghi organizations hate Christians to the core. Indian Christians are often soft targets because they don't retaliate, and instead live peacefully and forgive all other people.
I am telling you the truth, Bangalore is one of the worst places for Christians to live in India.
RSS has instigated and already brainwashed the millions of Hindus in Bangalore, and RSS portrays all Christians as their biggest enemies. In Bangalore this year, Churches have been vandalized and some of them are on the verge of demolition for silly flyover projects. The RSS is fully controlling Bangalore.
RSS Sangh followers have already spoiled Quora, Facebook and Twitter and downvote anything written against the Sangh Parivar organizations. As other user had mentioned in this page, these same RSS followers and haters of Christians from Bangalore dream of permanently settling in Christian countries such as USA, Australia, Canada and European nations. But in Bangalore, all these RSS followers severely hate and persecute Christians. This is the irony.
Bangalore leads the way for Christian persecution in India. As others have correctly mentioned, Bangalore is definitely the most racist place in India.

Thank you Numbeo for providing us an unbiased analysis and truthful honest opinions about Quality of Life in Bangalore.
It is a delight and pleasure to read all these genuine and truthful comments over here and in other pages. Let people be aware of the Quality of Life stats in Indian cities and across the world.

My dear brothers and sisters. We have and always will live in peace and harmony.
It is the main objective of 'Politics' to polarize communities in terms of religion.
I repeat, it is nothing but 'Politics'.

India is indeed a very safe place. India right from the ancient times till the present times has always been a safe place for the persecuted people throughout the world.
India practises freedom of speech, freedom of religion and tolerance. That is the reason for these many comments to appear in this page. This proves the openness and tolerance of the Indian society. Even to this day, people of all religions enjoy equal privileges in India. Bangalore is no exception in this scenario.
Bangalore is a good place to live. But just like any other megacity in the world there are a few problems. That's all.
Thank you for reading!

Bangalore is the headquarters of RSS and Sangh Parivar in South India. RSS and Sangh Parivar organizations are well-known for the persecution and discrimination of Muslims and Christians.
Bangalore has millions of instigators, masterminds and followers (Bhakts) of the RSS, Sangh Parivar and Bajrang Dal.
I speak the truth - The RSS has brainwashed thousands of software employees and entrepreneurs in Bangalore.

Other South Indian cities such as Hyderabad, Chennai, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram should be proud for not allowing RSS to enter their cities. Otherwise, RSS will completely start spreading hatred to the 2 religions in these other cities too.

The irony is that these same RSS, Sangh Parivar followers (software employees and entrepreneurs) in Bangalore passionately dream of studying, working and settling in Christian and Muslim countries. But they can persecute these 2 religions and their followers in their own country.

The software industry in India is definitely the Worst in the world, by a long way. This also applies to all the indigenous industries of India, and wherever most Indians have settled.
Let me tell you honestly, Indian managers and most Indian software employees are the biggest cheats you'll ever meet. Majority of Indian software employees are big liars, flatterers, most racist, crooked and two-faced people.
Telling lies is a part of Indian culture. Indian society doesn't ever practice sincerity, genuinity and straight-forwardness. In all software companies and industries in India, only these liars, backstabbers (metaphorically) and cheaters will climb up the company ladder. Most Indian employees and managers are highly racist and exploit their colleagues and subordinates. Speaking kind words are nothing. It is the good deeds that count. Unfortunately, good deeds are never a part of Indian work culture.
Most Indians squeeze work, exploit their employees, pay very very cheap salary, no benefits, and good deeds are never practiced. All the Indian employees working onsite are extremely arrogant, haughty, condescending and egotistical people. The offshore people they work with are severely exploited beyond work hours, unnecessary and unarmed work is forced by these on-site Indians to offshore team.

I have had the privilege of working with many European employees and managers. Trust me, all European enployees are genuine, honest, sincere, straightforward and compassionate. They will never lie or cheat their workers with words or deeds. Kind and flattering words are NOT important for Europeans. It's the good deeds and final output that really matter to them. European managers and employees will offer you very high salary, lot of benefits, will NEVER backstab (metaphorically) you, like most Indians do. All Europeans respect time and work-hours. They will NEVER exploit people and make you work beyond office hours. Whatever task is agreed should be completed, that's all. No work pressure, no squeezing, no lies and no flattery by Europeans at all. European managers and supervisors are a million times better than Indian managers. It is the truth.

Most Indians are extremely racist people compared to Europeans.
Indian software industry, attitude and work culture is certainly the most racist and by-far the worst in the world. Most Indians will also ruin the places where they've gone onsite.
Thanks for reading !

I am from Shillong in Meghalaya. I fully agree with the all the comments posted by previous users. I have travelled to many cities and towns across India. India has racism through the country.
But, Bangalore is definitely the most racist city in India. Plenty of racism exists in all forms in Bangalore. I sympathize the victims of racism in Bangalore.
I hope you find the strength and courage to endure and cope with all forms of racism and discrimination in Bangalore.

I am from Hubli.
I would like to tell you that Bangalore is undoubtedly the worst place to live in Karnataka. My wife was sexually harassed and gangraped by people at night in the streets of Bangalore.
Bangalore is heaven for all criminal activities. Humanity has absolutely no value in Bangalore.
Bangalore is absolutely nothing without the Karnataka government.
Don't even get me started about the lies being spread about Bangalore on social media sites about Bangalore. These are done by cunning and crooked marketing people. Here are some of their flattery for Bangalore:
1 "Kannadigas are the most friendly and kind people you'll meet" - Looks like Quora writers have come from some other Galaxy!
2 "Bangalore has cool climate" - Another fake nonsense spread in Quora.
I personally feel that Goa climate is better than Bangalore.
3 "Bangalore is the only place in Karnataka where you can survive without Kannada" - There are places in Karnataka itself that are more multi-lingual and cosmopolitan than Bangalore. There are major cities in Karnataka that have just 10% of Kannada speakers.
Really?
Absolutely true. Bangalore has around 50% of Kannada speakers, but there is one major city in Karnataka having just 10% of Kannada speakers.
Bangalore does not have any historical significance. I have been to Goa and Mumbai. Bangalore is landlocked and doesn't have beaches. Cubbon Park and Lalbagh have a few trees but they are all filled with dust.
There is one palace in Bangalore which is terribly overpriced. Bangalore does not even have a river or a water source!
There is no piped water supply in Bangalore. All hail the water tanker mafia of Bangalore!
Bangalore doesn't have any significance. It is just that successive Karnataka governments have glorified Bangalore by dumping all the companies, infrastructure, research and educational institutions in this wasteland.
People from other parts of Karnataka have to forcefully migrate to this Hell.
Bangalore is of absolutely no significance for the people of North Karnataka, including myself.

Disclaimer: I am very honest in my comments. Everyone has the right to freedom of speech. Read my below comments only if you are not offended.

The software industries in India are standing on 2 pillars. They are

1. Reverse Religious Reservation
If you look at any major MNC software company especially in Bangalore, Pune, etc., then they comprise of mostly Brahmins, Kshatriyas and the Forward Castes.

If you are a Muslim or Christian working in the big software companies in Bangalore, Pune, Gurgaon, etc. then you will face severe injustice over here. You will be discriminated and ignored when it comes to promotions, hikes, etc. You will struggle and a very less-deserving person from the majority religion will get promoted instead of yourself. You may have worked wisely, sincerely in all your projects and contributed to your team and company. But being from a minority religion especially Islam or Christianity, you will face high racism in software companies in India. People will play politics behind your back.
Almost all my Muslim, Christian friends have faced severe discrimination in the MNC software companies in India.

Sorry to be blunt, but the major Indian MNC software companies and a huge majority of its employees are avid followers of the RSS and Sangh Parivar.

Just look at the holiday lists of the IT companies in Bangalore and you will definitely understand that secularism never exists in the mind of people running these software companies.

The forward-caste people wonder when the religious minorities and Dalits have reservation in Government jobs, why are they coming to these software companies as employees? Though the Government jobs reservation is publicly announced and known, the hidden reservation existing in software industry is not known to the outside world. It's kept secret within the companies.
These software companies do a lot of PR and marketing work and portray themselves as saints! Media channels will never report the hidden reservation and religious bias existing in the software companies in India.

2. Regional Reservation
One more hidden reservation in the software industry is Regional Reservation. You will observe the Telugu-speaking people are in huge numbers in software companies. They're main intention of joining software companies is to migrate to their 2nd home - "United States of America". This is one of the reasons why cities having huge Telugu populations like Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai have plenty of software companies. If a HR employee in a software company is from Telugu community, he/she will hire hundreds of employees from here community only. They will never be hired on merit or their proficiency in skills. In fact many people from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana produce fake experience letters to get into software companies and eventually migrate and settle in USA. Please check this

There are Telugu-based firms in India that are paid heavily to produce fake experience certificates.

To conclude, the same people from the Indian majority religion/forward castes dream of working and settling in Muslim and Christian countries. These countries welcome them with open arms. But most of these Brahmin, Kshatriya hypocrites show severe racism in software companies to Muslims and Christians in India and migrate abroad. Hypocrisy at its very best !

I have spoken the absolute truth. I completely agree with the other commenters here regarding the software Industry in India. I have further added by comments.
Whatever new agendas such as "Make in India", "Self-Reliant India" are a joke.
Software industry in India is a shame to technology.

Having stayed in Bangalore, I will say that Bangalore is much cleaner and more hygienic than Pune, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Old Delhi.
Bangalore still is arguably the most livable metropolitan/megacity of India.
This doesn't mean that Bangalore is simply awesome. It's just that all other metropolitan cities of India are much worse than Bangalore. True fact and Bangalore has the most educated crowd as far as Indian metropolitan cities are concerned.
All metropolitan/megacities around the world are facing challenges in maintaining good Quality of Life.
