People’s Angle

For Telugu techies in Bengaluru, it’s a mix of pride and confusion—jobs are in one state, roots in another. 💻 Youth online are calling it the “South India IT meme war.”

MediaFx Take

Healthy competition between states can create more jobs—but when it turns ego-driven, the people lose focus. ⚡ Instead of “who’s better,” both states should ask, “how do we grow together?”
