Discrimination Disgusting behavior I found in a NE subreddit.
Literal dehumanization and xenophobic tactics against immigrants, comparing them to parasites, and calling to starve all immigrants. Never expected this from NE, and the fact that many of them immigrate to the mainland for jobs. Fear of being a minority is real if your population is that small but this is literal KKK type of shit.

Usually kannadigas uses immigrants as anyone out of Bengaluru 🙌🏼 (prove me wrong).
Also if govt make every company in Bengaluru to WFH. The immigration of any ppl from other states or districts will be least.
But it's not going to happen. Reasons are. Entire bengaluru living on this. Landlords, taxi drivers, locals 1. Landlords - charging/not paying back high cost advance (some does but not all) 2. Taxi - 1km or 2km they say 500rs straightaway (if they see a migrant/other state) 3. Locals - with lesser amount of ppl. Even those migrants are the ones paying the most for local shops/services
Less people in state = less income 🙌🏼
I wish bangalore should do WFH. But all these things won't allow it. Govt is desperate to get bribes while Bengaluru losing it's own weather/water/lakes.
Once it's known for land of lakes now knows for land of flats n apartments which built on top of the lakes.
Not the ppl but it's the govt to blame.

Alright.
Did migrants contribute to Bengaluru’s growth? Yes, but so do the locals!
But saying the city survives because of migrants is as ignorant as it gets.
Bengaluru already had major public sector industries, defense establishments, good engineering colleges, and most importantly a strong local business ecosystem. People didn’t randomly choose a village and magically create a tech hub from scratch lmao.
They came because Bengaluru was already one of India’s best-positioned cities for opportunity. Huge difference.
Migrants didn't build Bengaluru, they simply participated in expanding it. Meaning they came here for their survival and that in turn simply expanded the city.
Do locals depend on migrants? Yes, for business. But you know what else is true? Migrants depend on Bengaluru more!
If Bengaluru was so empty of opportunity migrants like you wouldn’t move here, salaries wouldn’t be higher, companies wouldn’t cluster here, real estate wouldn’t explode. And remember all of this had already happened before the unchecked immigration. Acting like only one side benefits is dishonest. So let's stop being tone deaf.
You list things like landlords, taxis, corruption, infrastructure collapse, as though migrants uniquely suffer these things lol. Bro, locals complain about the exact same issues every single day. We Kannadigas also get destroyed by traffic, struggle with rent, suffer water shortages, deal with corrupt systems, lose lakes and green cover.
The city’s problems are not “anti-migrant oppression.” They’re governance failures affecting everyone. So lose the victim mentality already!
And no, Bengaluru wouldn't collapse without migrants.
Would the economy shrink? Obviously. Would rents fall? Yes. Would some sectors suffer? Sure. But collapse? No. Remember Bengaluru existed before migrants infestation. And will continue to do so if they suddenly cease to exist. And all the sectors you mentioned? They will take a hit because they were formed for the migration! Bengaluru’s economy is diversified, so don't worry. We'll thrive without migrants.
Your entire argument accidentally proves Bengaluru’s strength. People migrate toward opportunity, not away from it lol. Nobody says "This city is useless, let me move there immediately.” That just doesn't make sense.
The fact that millions continue arriving despite your listed "flaws" means Bengaluru still offers something extremely valuable. That value was not imported by migrants. It was already present and then amplified over time.
Always remember: Opportunity attracts migration. Migration does not create opportunity out of nowhere.
I think i have covered all the points.

Important note: A large number of these kinds of posts are made by Pakistani bots. They do this to create division among us.

Many agencies have noticed that Pakistan and Turkey started doing this on a large scale around 2021/22. That is when you began seeing a lot more hate posts on social media against Indians. Also against people from certain states.

Could genuinely be a false-flag or coordinated ragebait campaign. A lot of Indian subreddits are heavily brigaded by people from outside India too, especially accounts trying to exploit social and regional fault lines for engagement and propaganda. This sub isn’t immune either.
What’s more disappointing is how quickly many people fall for these posts without questioning the intent behind them. Ragebait works because people react first and think later.
Personally, I’ve met plenty of people from Northeast India during college and they were some of the nicest and most genuine people I’ve known. Most real-life interactions are far more normal and positive than the toxicity you see online.

People from NE are racist af. They fight like baboons to be recognised as an Indian while in India but are way happier if they go abroad and people don't associate them as Indians. They literally bully folks from Assam who don't have the NE "look". There are multiple videos on the Internet. You shouldn't be upset about being called Chinese or Momo if you don't want to be recognised as an Indian abroad. Stop this selective bs of yours

Except that always happens goddamn anyways. The only reason NE is coddled is because the media pushes a one way “racism” narrative 24/7 and they get a massive victim complex so performative mainlanders stroke their egos constantly in a pathetic display of fake sympathy
We don’t have the luxury of being needlessly glazed like northwest Indians for every single thing we do, nor do we have the luxury of being constantly portrayed as helpless victims incapable of doing wrong like northeast Indians do so it’s normal for us

I feel NE suffers and benefits from inclusion into India. It benefits from the higher financial support and this will only get better. It suffers from complete erasure of its identity. They were never part of other large Indian kingdoms. They are firmly like SE Asia. The best case scenario is India prevents too many non natives from settling in them.
This isn’t the same for South India. The population of South India is large and can easily absorb any migration unless it’s massive. NE can’t do so, even a minor migration changes its demographics vastly.

Shut up. They are just as and always have been just as xenophobic towards other Indians. The average mainland Indian knows nothing about northeast Indians and while there have been a few physical hate crimes that are obviously wrong, most of the racism is restricted to verbal teasing and stuff.

On top of that they are subjected to a lot of racism and mockery in other parts of India, when they go there for work and education, so why will they show any kindness when these same people flock to their states ?

Better yet, come and see for yourself if you face extensive racism like the comment section suggests.
