Hi Debolin - I am particularly sorry to see that you feel that Kannadigas are ill-mannered, regionally biased, hostile, etc, because the very reason that Bangalore attracted hordes of people in the first place, was because of the weather, and the very hospitable local population.
Rajkumar, as many observed, is a veritable embodiment of the Kannada spirit, a man loved and almost deified by the Kannadigas for his socio-political crusades (including the language issue, immigrant issue) and spotless personal life.
Now I see that this discussion has taken a different course on wheather Kannadigas are good or bad, that age old north south thing and most importantly if pointing fingers at Bengal after all these smacks of double standards or not (A point not missed by the ever-alert Yourfan).
