India, Sept. 16 -- A Reddit post titled "Bengaluru doesn't feel like it belongs to locals anymore" has gone viral, triggering heated debate over the city's changing cultural and demographic landscape.

The anonymous user, identifying as a local Kannadiga, lamented that migration has reached a scale where it feels "more harmful than helpful." The post argued that fewer newcomers bother to learn Kannada, which gradually sidelines the local language and culture.

"Bengaluru used to feel rooted. Now it feels like we're losing that. For the city to improve, it needs to put Kannadigas first," the user wrote.
