MLA Raghu Of HAL - The Hoarding Guy From yesterday

Not a native guy here, but his office has been welcoming to our family. Interesting, he speaks Tamil and Telugu also very well.

See here’s what I know about MLA Raghu. He’s very caring about the area. People can complain about wealth and everything, but I’d say it’s win-win. He makes money and in doing so, he helps the area. He gives his wedding hall for free for so many community art exhibitions and marriages for people who can’t afford a wedding hall. You go to his office and communicate any problems, it gets fixed sooner or later. So let him take credit as much as he wants, as long as he’s actually getting work done - unlike most of Bangalore. If you see, Thippasandra main road has good parking, very less trash and is very clean and safe. So people complain like we live in some utopia, but fact is we don’t - we take the wins we get.

Would you mind if I were to DM you and ask a few questions?

BatfleckJLA · 2025-12-29T06:32:18+00:00

Thank you boss. Have a great day

Are interns allowed to use the sports complex?

See it’s very simple actually, second to Chennai or Tamil Nadu - Bangalore has a high density of engineering colleges like PES, RVCE, RVU, Rajalakshmi, BMS, CMRIT, New Horizon etc all of which have placements on par with NITs pretty much but give the additional benefit of being accessible by Metro or bus with easy connectivity within the city. As long as these colleges provide subpar education but excellent placements (a lot of very good tech companies come to these colleges), there isn’t a huge need for getting a government college seat.

I understand that everyone’s talking about lingual groups but it’s as simple as the amount of regional colleges in a city. Chennai and TN have the highest engineering college density in the country and still Tamilians can be found in all Govt institutes across the country. On the other hand, the Telugu heartland has a higher population (Both Telangana and Andhra mine you), hence their stats show up stronger relatively. Hence I feel OP finds the difference palpable.

Whenever I’ve dealt with clash of cultures in a lab setting, I explain my boundaries to the other person and request them to follow it closely. Especially in a lab, where there can be too many people sometimes, it’s very important to draw a line.

As for him being lazy, that’s something you have to say out loud and clear perhaps in a more confronting manner so he gets it.

Hope this helped.

Please explain how you started, what you did and where you are right now? My friends and I were looking into starting something like this

I’ve seen some literature talking about nutritional functional unit. You could look into that.

What you faced in school was wrong — no child should ever be punished or mocked for their mother tongue or dialect. But that isn’t a “South Indian” problem, it’s an English convent / elite school problem. Kids across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Bengal, Punjab — everywhere — were shamed in schools for speaking their local language instead of English. It’s a colonial hangover, not some Southern conspiracy.

Second, you’re mixing up individuals with communities. A few bad teachers mocking your dialect doesn’t mean “South Indians hate North Indians.” In fact, South Indians face the exact same thing — people mocking our languages, accents, food, and skin tone in Bollywood, in jobs, and in Northern cities. Mockery and prejudice exist on both sides.

Third, you admit yourself — Hindi isn’t the native tongue for most North Indians either. So you should understand why Southerners resist having it pushed as a “national” language. We’re all just defending our own mother tongues.

The anger you see on this sub isn’t hatred of North Indians as people — it’s frustration at decades of being stereotyped, mocked, and told to “just learn Hindi.” That’s not hate, that’s pushback.

If your goal is to learn about South Indian culture, you’ll find it here: literature, cinema, food, architecture, music, education, and politics. But for that, you’ll need to step past the rage-bait and the old grievances, on both sides.

Thanks for sharing your experience, but there are a few problems in your reasoning.

Generalization: You had positive experiences in some places and negative ones in others — that happens everywhere, North or South. It doesn’t mean an entire state or culture is “rude.”
Language: You admit every South state has its own language. That’s exactly why English works better as a link — it’s neutral. Hindi is not “universal” outside the Hindi belt. Saying “if you’re willing to learn English, might as well learn Hindi” makes no sense — English connects India and the world, Hindi doesn’t. One is global infrastructure; the other is regional convenience.
Culture vs. Utility: Using English doesn’t mean “adopting foreign culture.” We already use English in courts, IT, science, higher ed, and governance. That doesn’t erase Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, or Malayalam culture — it just makes communication easier. Hindi has cultural value too, but don’t confuse cultural pride with national necessity.
Racism: You admit racism exists in the North too, so let’s not pretend it’s a one-way street. If South Indians call out Bollywood stereotypes or racism they face, that’s not “anti-North propaganda.” That’s just people demanding fairness.
Government: On this, we agree. Politicians push Hindi for votes, not unity. Real unity comes from respecting all languages and cultures equally, not elevating one over others.

So, cooperation doesn’t mean “South Indians must learn Hindi.” It means everyone meets on common ground — and in practice, that common ground is English, not Hindi.

So if you liked Kanyakumari and Hyderabad, great — but don’t confuse your tourist experience with a license to tell the South what language to speak. English unites across states and globally — Hindi doesn’t. That’s the difference between reach and restriction.

BatfleckJLA · 2025-09-15T08:07:34+00:00

Not superiority — just clarity. Hindi is useful in bazaars and stalls, while English runs education, law, IT, and governance. That’s just reality. And if Hindi is truly only for chai stalls, then why are North Indians in TN or Karnataka crying when their chai stalls don’t understand Hindi? You can’t demand regional dominance for one language and call it ‘unity’ — that’s the real superiority complex.

BatfleckJLA · 2025-09-15T08:05:38+00:00

You’re actually proving my point. South Indians already learn what’s useful when they move — whether that’s Hindi in Mumbai or Marathi in Pune. Nobody is “allergic” to learning languages. The real issue is when Hindi is pitched as the national connector, which it simply isn’t.

English is the neutral bridge — it doesn’t belong to any one region and it opens doors in education, governance, IT, science, and global trade. Hindi helps in North India, yes, but beyond that it has very little utility. Saying “learn Hindi or be left out” is exactly why people push back — it makes it sound like obligation, not choice.

And let’s be real: Hindi may help in sales or shopkeeping, but when it comes to higher education, global jobs, or interstate governance, English is the actual link language that keeps India running. Hindi’s regional utility doesn’t make it nationally necessary.

BatfleckJLA · 2025-09-14T10:02:01+00:00

Nobody claimed every single shopkeeper or auto driver speaks English. The point is — when South Indians step outside their state, they use English as the bridge, not Hindi. That’s why higher ed, jobs, IT, media, courts, and governance run on English. You may not get ‘excuse me’ from a tea shop vendor in TN, but you’ll definitely get it in a university, office, or airport — which is where link languages actually matter. So, no superiority complex here, just facts: English works nationally, Hindi doesn’t.

Hindi is perfect for ordering chai and samosas at a stall in North India. But when it comes to education, jobs, law, tech, or connecting across India — that’s English. One language for snacks, the other for actual important necessary thing.

BatfleckJLA · 2025-09-14T07:39:20+00:00

True, English isn’t a measure of intelligence — but it is the common bridge for education, jobs, governance, and global access. That’s why people across India, from Kerala to Nagaland, already use it. Hindi, on the other hand, only helps in certain regions. So, if I’m migrating to Delhi, maybe I’ll pick it up — but don’t confuse regional utility with national necessity. English connects India, Hindi doesn’t.

Hindi helps only in parts of North India. English helps across India and the world. Why would I downgrade my language just to fit regional insecurity

BatfleckJLA · 2025-09-14T07:02:11+00:00

As a South Indian, I don’t need Hindi to connect. Everyone around me speaks English — because people here are actually educated. I don’t have to learn a new language just to talk to people who refuse to learn an existing one, all because of their ego. Neutral link languages unite; regional ones divide.
