The story of how a prosperous city fell.

Unnecessary rant this is

When you are in Delhi/Gurgaon or Lucknow you expect everyone to converse in Hindi.

In Mumbai -you need to converse in Hindi/Marathi.

Then what's the challenge in learning a few basic kannana for social communication

Write a code in kannada

Aah, now the northies will know their true place in south India, when they get bashed for speaking the Hindi, get 2nd grade treatment everywhere when they disrespect kannada and what's more,?? They can't even go back to their hometown as thier hometown is broken af too 😂😂

If you hate a place so much why work there go to Hyderabad chennai or some other place suitable to your likes

Many of those who are complaining here , would happily learn any European language if they get a chance to move there.

But they have problem to do the same within their country hypocrisy??

If you have so much bad opinion, why don't you move to a better city ?

It's good. These Kannadigas are so proud that why you are coming to Bangalore to work. This will drive companies out of Bangalore. Then see what happens. 😉 Sarrr we need job sarrr in your state 🤡

Divide Karnataka? Non-Kannadigas are a miniscule population. Adapt or perish 🤷🏼‍♂️

I am against his outspoken character on this and forcing to learn, but as an individual I myself stayed in Bangalore for 4 years. I learnt basic words which are used to communicate with my maid, auto bhaiyya, cab driver to ask whereabouts, dhobi uncle and so on. All you can do is learn simple words and however you'll gonna add English endings to them, so I guess that should be fine. Trust me they won't expect you to speak like a pro, but surely they'll happily correct you if you try and mispronunce something. Give it a try!!

What one can expect when voted for congress

I'm sad to see how a lot of you all are pissed about this. I'm a native of this city. A Kannadiga. This propaganda of having such strong measures and sometimes some hardcore Kannada lovers causing havoc and chaos is all because of one important fact. The population of people who are native Bengalurians and speak Kannada as their native language is decreasing by the day with increasing number of people who don't speak Kannada but enforce to speak either in Hindi or English and not have to basic curiosity to learn atleast the basics of a language spoken by the locals.

Now you might find this weird and funny. But imagine your kids in your hometown having to learn other languages over your own native language just because the others living around them do not speak the language of the locals. This leads to not being proficient in any of the languages they learn, not even in their own native language.

I've been to Singapore and the people there suffer by this issue because of having too many dialects and native languages that differ from area to area and town to town which has forced them to learn what we know as the Singaporean English for standard communication. THIS IS THE MAIN ISSUE. WE DON'T WANT OUR KIDS TO BE MULTILINGUAL AND FAIL TO BE PROFICIENT IN ANY LANGUAGE for best communication.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not supporting whatever the CM or his gang says. I'm supporting the root cause.

Now, if this gets enforced and you'll move to other cities like Chennai or HYD or anywhere where the locals language isn't Hindi, this issue will continue to exist.

Forget about my kids or future generation, even I face this communication issues at Office. I can understand Hindi good enough thanks to exposure to Bollywood and basics hindi from class 8 to 10. But at work, most people in my team speak fast in Hindi and I have to ask them to repeat. And they fail to communicate well in english because of their lack of proficiency. But I'm learning Hindi from them as well as they are learning some basic Kannada from me. Helps us get around the local vendors and people who speak either of the languages.
