I know a few F&B brand owners who are shitting their pants over: 1) Genz preferring to spend at Cafe over pub/bar/alcohol 2) Delayed entry of college graduates into jobs. Their pipeline of new customers getting delayed. People tend to drink less once in their 30s. 3) Reduced corporate spend on F&B & team outings.
Indiranagar gets another banger. Buco opposite still coffee is a must!!

All the North Karnataka & Coastal Karnataka people who want a separate state should first ask the Union Govt to first create a Kalburgi - Hubli - Mangalore line.

Mr Modi, stop lying to this nation. You became PM because of foreign help. You remain PM because of foreign help. Your financial system is fully controlled and supported by foreigners. Foreign social media fully backs you. I challenge you to an open debate about this. Any stage, any time. Come if you have the guts. You won't dare, because you are terrified of what I know about you. मोदी जी, इस देश से झूठ बोलना बंद कीजिए। आप विदेशी मदद से प्रधानमंत्री बने। और विदेशी मदद से ही प्रधानमंत्री बने हुए हैं। आपकी आर्थिक व्यवस्था पूरी तरह विदेशियों के नियंत्रण में और समर्थन से है। विदेशी सोशल मीडिया पूरी तरह आपके साथ खड़ा है। मैं आपको इस मुद्दे पर खुली बहस की चुनौती देता हूं। कोई भी मंच, किसी भी समय। हिम्मत है तो आइए। आप नहीं आएंगे, क्योंकि जो मैं आपके बारे में जानता हूं आप उससे डरते हैं।

😂😂 Built on the spine of UVCE, BMS, RVCE and a bunch of other engineering colleges in KA, TN and maybe MH. IITians have been running to the west or mugging for IAS for a long ass time. None of the below mentioned PSUs gave Indian outsourcing companies business then. Very few employees left PSUs for the outsourcing companies. BTW companies like Texas Instruments set up it's R&D center in Bangalore in 1980s. (This is when IBM was kicked out of India by Indira Gandhi). The success of the IT industry should be attributed to the early founders, the early employees and the government of Karnataka (it's ministers and bureaucrats)
False. The IT Boom started in the late 90s. Bangalore's IT boom was built on the spine of PSUs like HAL, BEL, and HMT. The central government first took advantage of the FEP by setting these industries up in Bangalore. The talent pool followed and rest is history.

We should question how our money is being spent. We not questioning how money is being spent has led to a situation we are in.

Look up the extreme skewed up ratio a state like karnataka is funding bihar. Obviously you won't mind it. There is a limit to this, especially when Karnataka itself has so much backward regions in North Karnataka to support and develop.

What civilisation are you talking about? Mughal? British? If you say Karnata (Vijayanagara), I say you were leaches then and leaches now.
That Nikhil Kamath clip to come out on Karnataka Rajyotsava day. Shows the depth of the elite alienation caused by Dharma void. The question is not about 'incentive' Kamath, it is about 'civilizational being and belonging'. Great example of reason divorced from Lokasamgraha.

Proto marathas what ??? Lol there is not even single marathi inscription or maratha by them. Not even a single prakrit inscription by them ratta is pure kannada word. @grok confirn teapawt.net/grok/status/2116832457…
Fleet showed pure raṭṭa is unattested in Prakrit literature; regular forms of rāṣṭra are raṭṭha/raṭha/raṭa (e.g. Marahaṭṭha = Mahārāṣṭra). Raṭṭa appears as the practical family name in Kannada prose from 866 CE (Sirūr/Nilgund). Rāṣṭrakūṭa is the later ornamental Sanskrit form evolved from it, not the reverse. Rattagudi/rattadi occur as village officer titles in pre-8th-century Andhra inscriptions. Rathika/Rāṣṭrika in Aśokan texts denote rāṣṭra-people or officials and are not identical to the later Raṭṭa clan name.

Availability of Jobs is a major social indicator. For setting up tech parks you don't have to compromise on ecology. Mallus don't have the ability by themselves. They are good at leaching on infrastructure and resources created by others. Good employees when you have the cctv pointed at them.
I actually disagree with this whole trope that Malayalis move abroad because their system failed. Kerala is not ecologically suitable for large-scale industries. They've kind of already maxed on education and do better than almost all states in social indicators.

AI will enable upstarts to offer services/products at much lower costs than incombents. The cost of the tech stack you own is tending towards 0. Which means most markets are now going to be hyper competitive leading to more jobs. A long period of low margins for businesses.
Talked to some regular IT uncles about AI and they said “Oh that chatbot - it hallucinates - no job threat and all” Boss matrix movie plot is happening in front of our eyes when will you people wake up

Well there is no documented evidence of Siddaramaiah or DKS looting the state coffers. On the OTH, there is documented proof of Yeddy and Reddy looting Kannada lands and going to jail for it.
Replying to @kannadahelp6
I agree with Kamath but, imagine DKS and Siddu having a treasury full of billions of dollars to spend on stupid stuff like free electricity, free bus rides, 2k in the bank A/C every month.

The incentive for us Kannadigas is to make sure our kids don't have to land in BIMARU or AP for a job.
Let’s see if any ‘civic’ pages of Bengaluru can answer this Q: what is Karnataka’s incentive to perform well if the union is going to take away all the money and redistribute it in Bihar and UP? @CivicOp_india @karnatakaportf @namma_BTM @WFRising

One of the biggest and least acknowledged beneficiaries of the #HindiImposition since the 1950s has been the Hindi entertainment industry. From films and songs to today’s content creators, it has enjoyed access to audiences across India, helped by government policies promoting Hindi through 3rd language in schools and mandating Hindi using Doordarshan, AIR, Trains, Airports, PSUs... Over last 7 decades, this advantage allowed even mediocre films, performers and creators to gain nationwide recognition, while talent & quality products in other languages faced greater barriers. Congress helped build this linguistic hegemony, and the BJP continues to reinforce it. And the worst part is, many who benefit from this advantage are ungrateful showing little understanding and respect for India’s linguistic diversity like the guy in this video.
YUCK cringe fest 🤮🤮🤮 Forget the fact that nobody in South India will treat you this way but you can't even take this as a joke because there is no joke. I'm feeling secondhand embarrassment watching this. I'm sure even many North Indians will agree that this guy's not funny.

If I were her, would never bring up Maruti. It's one of the greatest things that came out of Congress. Created an entire industry. Shows what govt in partnership with private entities is capable of. In case of Modi's govt there is absolutely nothing new that India has seen. Even the UPI was the brainchild of Congress. BJP just reaped the accolades.
We all know how @INCIndia has used Banks and financial institutions as personal entities and pressured bank employees to extend loans at their whim, bypassing prudent lending norms. Let me list a few instances. - In 1957, Haridas Mundra got money from LIC due to influence by the Congress leaders. - In 1976, Indira Gandhi's government removed SBI Chairman R.K. Talwar after he refused political pressure to relax lending conditions for a company linked to Sanjay Gandhi's circle. - Sanjay Gandhi pressured the Central Bank of India over loans to Maruti. - B. Janardhana Poojary, MoS Finance under Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi — pressured bank employees to issue loans in the 1980s. - Pawan Kumar Bansal, as a minister in the UPA, pressured Canara Bank to give loans to his family-linked businesses. The IDBI Bank was handed over to us in poor shape, as IDBI itself was forced to lend to large business groups with close connections to @INCIndia leaders such as Videocon, Winsome, ABG Shipyard, Kingfisher, etc. These turned into bad loans, causing huge losses for IDBI Bank, which we recognised. The NDA govt led by Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi revived the IDBI bank through professionalism, prudence and recapitalisation of more than Rs 25,000 crores. The IDBI Bank is now poised for its next phase of growth. All due process has been followed in the IDBI Bank strategic restructuring, and we have already clarified this yesterday. Check this: pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.… Many more instances of blatant scams and economic mismanagement have been covered in the White Paper on the Indian Economy released in February 2024. It remains relevant even now. Read here: bsmedia.business-standard.co… Your lies with respect to Rafale had failed and were exposed. You had to apologise. The same will happen here. Congress-era banking had a phonebook for the powerful and a rulebook for the common citizens. The era of 'connection and setting banking' is over. Common people now have easy access to loans, and employees are not under pressure to extend loans over the phone calls.

Darshinis in Bengaluru are highly competitive. They operate on wafer thin margins. There is no such thing as "normal rates". Pricing is both a science and an art.
This hotel is in rural area but still they are charging like Bengaluru hotel's Is it normal or little costly??

It's called a Gujju Scam. Kumaraswamy claims Vokkaligas are the Patels of Gujarat (or vice versa) Is he putting flowers on our ears, or has someone put one on his? Historical basis or political fiction to curry favour with Gujarati circles?
