Are bachelors the new villains? Bengaluru Reddit post sparks outrage over ‘no guests allowed’ rule

Every few months, a Reddit post ignites a wider cultural debate—and this time, it came from a frustrated bachelor in Bengaluru. His simple rant about being treated “like a suspicious teenager” while families receive preferential treatment struck a national chord. What began as a personal complaint quickly evolved into a broader conversation about housing discrimination, social bias, moral policing, and the everyday struggles single people face in urban India. The viral post has now sparked what many are calling a “civil-rights-for-singles” movement, as thousands share similar stories of being denied apartments, judged for lifestyle choices, and sidelined in a society that still prioritizes the family unit over individual autonomy.
