Is Bengaluru’s dream of becoming ‘India’s Silicon Valley’ crumbling? | BBC News India
The southern Indian state of Karnataka goes to polls on May 10. More than half of the state's revenue comes from Bengaluru, also known as Bangalore, an IT hub that dreams of becoming India's Silicon Valley. But with the lack of basic infrastructure and Bengaluru's infamous traffic, is this dream dying? We spoke to some young people in the city to find out what they think.

This is a shame as Bengaluru is essentially a nice city with nice people. It's the corruption and illegal construction that does for it, and also the fact that public transport simply hasn't kept up with the massive growth in population. Before 2013 Bengaluru's population was below 10 million, and it took ten years for the city to build a single metro line! As of today they've still only got two metro lines for a city of......13 million people! In this same timeframe China built the world's largest high speed rail network. It is what it is.

Ditto for ALL Indian cities! Mumbai and Delhi are no better, if not worse.

North Bangalore is growing rapidly…water problems will be solved …..BBCs dream of Bangalore not becoming Silicon Valley is crumbling.
Love the Hinglish in some of these interviews, casually drifting in and out of English and Hindi 😂
watching this makes me hungry for dosa masala . When I resided there I visited Cubbon park every week . What a fantastic area . Multicultural too . When my channel gets big enough I’ll try to outsource the animating to Bangalore 🎉🎉
The Congress govt of 1980and later competed with Andhrapradesh&Tamilnadu &Maharashtra to get silicon Valley status to banglore. Now same party's govt oppose silicon valley cosmopolitan outlook to banglore due to poor infrastructure and fear of non kannadigas outage in banglore.
Imagine how much the productivity will increase , if we better the public infrastructure
Nobody is bothered to undust the roads
Take interview of kannadigas and in Kannada language

If you proud to be Karnataka person then it's ok, but don't force to take interview in Kannada , this is social media , you are playing dirty politics in name of language

It's NO Silicon Valley, Bengaluru just BPOs, back offices, call centers, whatnot

Travelling through local is horrible in Mumbai. The houses are very small and very expensive. It’s not at all a comfortable place to live

Better concentrate on entertainment and finances..Bangalore knows how to handle its crown as a biggest IT hub. This inexplicable restlessness won't help you with your already existing primary fame either😂
