@Mridul: you deserve it. You claim you have been in Bengaluru since 7 years and don't speak Kannada. What else people like you deserve? Learn your alien language and welcome you with a garland whenever you used the bus? You people are the root cause of problems in cities like the se.

Article: DK Suresh clings on to illegal site in Judicial Layout (News - Cover Story)

New Congress Govt. should probe misuse of funds in the name of JNURM. Funds were spent for reasons exactly opposite to the JNURM norms.BJP wasted several thousands of crores in the name of building TTMC for BMTC in residential areas or close to residential areas. They allowed lakhs of buses and trucks in to residential areas.Colletaral damage to residential areas are very high.Noise and atmospheric pollution is very high. Honking and wayward driving by bus drivers and truck drivers are the highest. Govt. should order a probe and publish a White Paper about the financial conditions of the Govt. post BJP govt. exit. Loot of thousands of crores were regular affair. None of the cases involving tainted BJP netas have got them conviction for their wrong doings and land grabbing. What about Kattas,Yeddy and Reddys`.

The moment she raised her hand, she lost the case. It looks like she has not learnt the lesson and wants to file a case against the bus driver and conductor! I must applaud these duo for doing their job right. She must open a channel for negotiations otherwise, this court case will financially, emotionally and professionally ruin her.

If this lady is saying that she got injustice coz she didn't speak Kannada, let me tell you my story. I got pushed into cell and got beaten badly by an SI coz I spoke in Kannada. For him, in front of that English speaking half north, half mallu guy, I seemed like a local criminal. After a year or so, that guy who framed me called me and said that he was extremely sorry. But anyways, I still have mark on my ass for the lathi that broke on me. So we Kannnada people are treated like dirt in our own soil. I live away from India now, and I am glad that I am not treated so bad in my own soil due to the shameless north Indians. We speak Hindi when we visit your states, can't you people learn Kannada when you have been living in Bangalore for more than 10 or 20 years? It took me a year to learn Hindi, though I NEVER formally studied it. And about the conductor, yeah some are sick. But I don't think he was at fault here. Coz the witness, magistrate, police all can't be wrong here. This seems like my crazy aunt who didn't know Kannada and would think that we always spoke bad about her in Kannada.

Yes, this behaviour of the girl is not acceptable, however it is true that BMTC needs to train their crew for behaving with public, (I have seen some really friendly and good drivers and conductors too). Finally, this is not an inside / outside issue as the conductors dont really care even I speak kannada, as their arrogant behaviour will be the same. (Yes, in many such cases or in road rage cases, the local goons just will use the outsider tag as a potent weapon to use against). However this girl must be punished if she really assaulted the conductor.

I am a regular traveller in BMTC buses, and have seen the conductors are rude in many occasions.Once I travelled in a Kerala RTC bus early morning at 4 AM (first trip to Guruvayoor) and I saw the conductor had bag full of change and never saw a commotion, despite being the first trip. In bangalore, any time of the day change is a big issue. The conductors should carry sufficient change with them and also be taught to behave with the pub lic.

I have been in bangalore since 7 yrs now, the BMTC conductors are too harsh when speaking with non kannada speaking people. They do not return change even though they have it

Care to learn and respect the language where you stay. Why you expect a son of the soil, Kannada citizen, to learn and speak in Hindi or English? Conductor is not obliged to pay the change. FYI, if you travel in Singapore Buses, you forfeit any extra money paid. You have to drop your money in a Hundi like container. Would you protest there too?

We can understand the situation of this parent. It is not about money. It is about the system. The teachers and everyone want a machine. We were lucky till now as being the parent of 'special' or 'slow learner' child and have not ended up in this situation. But with this fear only, we have not yet admitted him to any 'big' school. Don't know what to do once is ready for grade 1. But at least once daily we discuss about the 'best' or 'good' school for him in the city.

“They should learn a lesson from this incident and draft a policy on the issue of tendering change,” Nigam said. BMTC authorities should also give their drivers and conductors training in etiquette. Conductors and drivers should stop being hostile to outsiders who cannot speak Kannada,” she adds. Nice preaching! AND what about you and other such people who cannot (or who does not want to) speak Kannada? What do you learn here? Learn local languages and respect the locals. This is the only solution. Don't expect others to create a system that is favourable only to you.

Why don't Indians learn other Indian languages (native to the place) when they migrate? Such things could be avoided and also learning local language helps in jelling with the people around you and no one will treat you like an outsider. It is a common tactic to blame locals of using foul language and treating you like an "outsider" when you fault. Best solution: learn local languages for your own good.
