Shock for Telugu IT Employees in Bengaluru

No Job Security for Telugu IT Employees in Bengaluru

Wherever you look around the world, one common theme is evident: job security is a growing concern. In Bengaluru, a large portion of the population consists of IT employees, with many coming from the two Telugu-speaking states. Recently, a growing demand for prioritizing local employment has emerged across Karnataka, with local Kannada speakers calling for preference in job opportunities and positions. In line with this, the Karnataka government even introduced a bill to address these demands. However, due to strong opposition from industry groups, the Siddaramaiah-led government withdrew the bill within a few hours.

Before this development, a tweet went viral on social media, calling for Kannada speakers to be given priority in job appointments. This led to significant debate across platforms. Recently, another viral video posted by a person from North India, who now lives in Canada, supported the stance of prioritizing Kannada speakers in the job market. The individual argued that Karnataka was advocating for a just cause, emphasizing that people have the right to preserve their culture, heritage, and identity.

The issue of local language and culture in Karnataka continues to spark intense discussion, with growing resentment toward outsiders. However, the individual in the viral video made it clear that while tensions rise, the right of local people to protect their land, culture, and heritage is undeniable.
