Hi all I too lived at Bangalore for 7 years. I didn't experience any such incident.
It is not a fair assessment to make such generalisation, towards, people of that state, until, and unless it is widespread. Isn't it the same generalisation that some think that all blind persons are beggers? It is these dwarfed mind sets and prejudices which are the cause of most problems plaguing this planet. Bangalore is certainly a great place to live and the folks are warm, gentle and helpful. It is also cosmopolitan in its character. If one can speak english or hindi, one can certainly manage. This incident is certainly deplorable, and I hope it is an isolated one. I guess we are deviating from the issue here.
