"I was working in Bangalore for 1.5 years. Married in Punjab, I wore chooda for the entire 1 year as it is a part of my tradition. It was clearly evident I was from North India. What a harassment it was to commute in auto from flat to office and back. The audacity of local auto drivers to strike a conversation on why I was in Bangalore when I belonged to North, if I was learning Kannada, asking if I like anything apart from weather, asking for more money as I was newly married and pretending not to understand a word when I would talk in Hin/Eng. I had a very bad experience with local crowd there," the X user wrote.
In the following post, she claimed that she was also given a hard time by the customer support of BESCOM (Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited). "Once I called BESCOM to complain about power cut, the guy ended the call saying 'No hindi, no English, only Kannada'. They only want to take care of problems of Kannada speakers," she wrote.
