Please be aware before coming to Bangalore
As many people from West Bengal will likely be migrating to Bangalore for Job related reasons, I'm just updating you about recent concerning events.
Scenario 1:
Local Kannadiga goons are now eve-teasing girls and if you try to stand up against it they start to speak in Kannada and then record you as you can't understand it, they repeatedly asked to speak in Kannada.Basically instigating you. Do not lose your temper, leave the scenario if possible take photos and report to police
Scenario 2:
The Auto Drivers will say 100 rupees but as soon as trip will end they will say 200 was agreed. In the same manner they are starting to record video and asking for Kannada. Also do not lose temper. Pay extra and leave. If possible take photo of number plate.
Scenario 3:
Scooter brake checks me, I try to stop in time but couldn't. Then they create a scene by shouting in Kannada and asking for money. Claiming I rear ended them . I had to pay money as no one will believe outsider.
Many of my north indian female colleagues have faced this rising concern in the last 6 months.
They will not trust you as you are not localite. They will try to instigate and if you can't speak Kannada and lose temper they will paint you as the bad guy.
Stay vigilant. Take care.
Basically they will become viral if they can clip you after losing your cool and saying "speak in Hindi" or "I don't understand Kannada".
So please keep this in mind.
