The comment section is just filled with cochin residents advocating their wastelands is better than Thiruvananthapuram.

But I agree with auto drivers being shitty scammers

I hope the newer generation of trivandrum will carry the legacy worthy of the capital city of god's own country

Most of the people have a really $hitty attitude. Almost all the auto drivers are scammers.

Those who commented from Bihar (anything that is above south ie, North Indians ), please don’t come to Kerala, we don’t like your culture, attitude and your lack of cleanliness . Stay in the rut you all belong , you are not welcome

Due to Thiruvananthapuram's location at the southernmost tip of India, the influence of Hindi in this city is very less. Due to this isolation, Thiruvananthapuram has very less diversity in culture. Being a part of a princely state, the local culture was maintained more than giving importance to English language. But again, the parliament representative has nothing to do with the language skills of the local people.

Thiruvananthapuram has a language barrier just like Chennai and Coimbatore. Most signboards in Thiruvananthapuram have only Malayalam signboard. People also speak mostly Malayalam and a bit of Tamil here. It js very difficult for an English or Hindu speaking person to settle in Thiruvananthapuram. I found Kochi to be a cosmopolitan city. In Kochi, a handful of people will converse back in English. Kochi also has a more diverse culture than Thiruvananthapuram.

All you Keralites, just wait till your Kerala becomes a Muslim majority state.
Muslims are the majority in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Maldives.
In these Muslim-majority countries:
1. Apostasy is punished with Death Penalty
2. Criticism to their religion receives Death threats
3. Non-Muslims are threatened and falsely accused with Blasphemy laws.

Also in Pakistan, the sewage drainage cleaning work is reserved for Non-Muslims only. Most of the Non-Muslims are forced to live in slum areas in Pakistan.

I speak the truth and these mentioned above are genuine facts.

Shame on you Keralites for even prepared to work as slaves in Middle-East countries. Kerala is notorious for Gold Smuggling activities.

I very much agree with you @Nishant Varma. Life in Thiruvananthapuram is a nightmare if you don't know Malayalam or some Tamil. The local Thiruvananthapuram people will not reply back to you in English even if they know English. That's why apart from Keralites or a few Tamils, no one wants to settle down in Trivandrum. Truth can be bitter to hear, but these are facts.

Nishant Varma on Mar 05, 2021:

I am very honest in my comments. Trivandrum has a huge language barrier. I am from Delhi, and it was extremely difficult to live in Trivandrum without knowing Malayalam. Although Trivandrum portrays its MP as an English dictionary, the reality is very different. People in Trivandrum will never cooperate with you if you don't know Malayalam. The language barrier here is much worse than even Chennai. In Trivandrum, most people will not converse with you even if you speak in English. I am sorry for being blunt just for speaking out the facts.

Sites such as YouTube, Quora, Times of India, Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms are filled with the hate comments by Hindutva militants regarding the minorities. Social media and OTT platforms are rheir playground. The Indian government will promote online Hindutva militants much more from now on and suppress any form of dissent towards them.
