Karnataka, a state that straddles India’s technology highway and rural heartland, is as much about Bengaluru’s software sprint as it is about Mandya’s farmer angst or Kalaburagi’s drought alerts. With its multilingual makeup — Kannada, Tulu, Konkani, Kodava, and Urdu — and complex regional divides, news across Karnataka ranges from start-up layoffs in Koramangala to paddy procurement complaints in Raichur. Civic concerns in the capital involve lake pollution, pothole-ridden tech corridors, BMTC revamps, and Namma Metro extensions, while interior Karnataka battles issues like school closures, hospital shortages, and caste violence. Frequent topics in the state include Cauvery river water sharing disputes, hijab protests, textbook revisions, and Bengaluru’s crumbling infrastructure under climate pressure. From Karnataka’s powerful film industry and temple festivals to voter turnout in Panchayat elections and allegations of corruption at the state level, the state offers a dynamic, sometimes contradictory pulse. RagaDecode delivers these contrasts with clarity — from the high-rises to the haystacks.
