No..
social media mindsick people hate hindi, north Indians but generally it safe as pan India being tourist specially..
For the SM ppl north India specially up Bihar is worse but in reality tamilians visit more than any south state to north India specially kashi vishwanath.. (lord Shiva temples)..
There will be language barrier a little bit as in Bengaluru or Hyderabad its not
...
more...
big..

Try to speak in English as even road side vendors speak good English for basic conversation..

If you are visiting as a tourist..
Try to book everything in advance like traveling tickets, hotels etc..

Incorrect. Don't go by media inputs. Absolutely fake narrative. India was, is and will be happy place for travelling cutting across language barriers.

Not unsafe...but not favorable either for Hindi belt people. Common public either not know Hindi or intentionally choose to avoid it. Dravidian belt political parties often air the anti Hindi sentiments there

No that's not true, it's safe.

But for sure you will face difficulties in communicating as very less people know Hindi and English. Many a times your Ola Uber will cancel your ride if you can't talk to them in tamil and won't be able to guide your route and location.

Sometimes coolies too cheat you at MAS, for me once they asked for 1000 rs for carrying 2 trolly bags weighting less than 50 kg combined.
I have to pay as I was unaware of it.

Usually people won't bother for being north Indian and they usually tend to be away and mostly not mingle with you. But if you approach them they mostly they will guide you correctly. Just try to avoid Hindi and prefer English, situation worsens if you go interior TN away from city then even English won't help you.


This is from my 2 year studies at pondicherry.

I have been to KGP but never understood why it doesn't have services/pitlines for maintenance of LHB rakes. Lines criss cross that places like crazy and I was surprised to find that even Nimpura Yard, despite being so huge, doesn't have the requisite requirements.

Train departed today with only 1 seat Available ( I saw 30 mins before departure from KGP).
Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Bhadrak, Kharagpur were the major contributor stations to fill this spl train. Baleshwar, Brahmapur also contributed.
