When discussing Bengaluru, its thriving IT industry inevitably enters the conversation. Dubbed India’s IT capital, the city has become a magnet for tech aspirants. But have you ever wondered what Bengaluru would be without the IT sector?
A recent viral Reddit post claimed that without IT, Bengaluru would resemble Bihar. The user recounted a conversation with a Bihari friend, who suggested that the city’s development, skyscrapers, and economic growth are solely due to the tech industry.
The statement triggered a wave of reactions online. Some supported the claim, emphasizing that the city’s rapid modernization is linked to IT. However, others strongly disagreed, reminiscing about Bengaluru’s charm before the IT boom.
Many pointed out that the city was once a peaceful paradise for pensioners, attracting retired government officials due to its pleasant weather and elegant lifestyle. Some even argued that IT has worsened Bengaluru’s essence, citing traffic congestion and overpopulation.
Despite differing opinions, one fact remains clear—Bengaluru’s identity has been shaped by IT, but its rich heritage predates the tech revolution.
