Here's how social media reacted

'' Thanks for your words Gurudutt. Comes at a time when people pick isolated incidents from Bengaluru and tarnish the city’s image. Great to also know you have picked basic Kannada as well,'' a user said.

'' Kannadigas are already warm welcoming people. It takes very little effort to assimilate into the culture if you are open to learning about the place. Sadly it’s too much to ask for lot of immigrants and Kannadigas are starting to resent them, '' a second user wrote.

'' B'lore of today is not the same b'lore of 10-15 yrs back. Earlier it use to be fun,but today it has a big traffic issue and high cost of living due to cess and taxes by state govt. Even language chauvinists are destroying brand b'lore, '' a third user wrote.
