The Cauvery “agitation” has seen the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike emerge as a potent force—difficult to agree with but difficult to ignore. Suddenly, the organisation whose biggest claim to fame was tarring the face of Belgaum’s Mayor (for passing a resolution pressing for the transfer of the border-district to Maharashtra), is baring its fangs wherever it feels its intervention is necessary.
In vandalising theatres screening Tamil movies in Bangalore, in smashing the offices of an NGO in Mysore because of an alleged statement made by its convenor, in attacking a bank in Bangalore which sent goondas to recover loans… members of the Vedike have revealed an intemperate—even violent and vigilantist—streak.
Is this brand of Kannadiga assertion good or bad for the State? Does the Vedike represent the people of Karnataka, or is it just a cover for lumpen elements? Are its actions helping or harming Kannadiga identity, and the cause of Kannadigas? Is Kannada safe in its hands? Will such use of force achieve tangible results, or will it destroy the liberal, tolerant and reasonable reputation Kannadigas enjoy? Is the foundation being laid for a political party and will it win popular support?
karnataka needs to remain liberal.and no one can afford to be indifferent about their reputation.But the need of the hour is kannada assertion which needs to be guided by a thinking leadership.
Before shooting down KRV,the energy unleashed has to be canalised.Why cant the likes of tarlesubba,DG,DB,vinay,suma take up the leadership of this movement?i may sound politically naive.But this is the need of the hour.
Which faction of KRV are you writing about? There are two – one led by Narayana Gowda and the other by Praveen Shetty.
It was Shetty’s group that ransacked a BPO company when Kaveri bundh was held. The same group had protested screening of a Tamil movie two days back. I have only read DH report (half-assed as usual) about the attack on Nataraja Theater. I don’t think the attack on the bank was by any KRV faction. Some other group or other vedike was involved.
In fact, Shetty’s group did not ransack BPO Company. It stopped cars transporting BPO employees. Media name for Vedike is KARAVE. Its mad, not good, bad or sad.
emergence of rakshana vedike is the best thing to happen in recent years. it has boosted the sagging morale of kannadigas. kannadigas were treated as second rate citizens in bengalooru, belagavi—- now atleast northies, tamils etc think twice before doing so. FACT THAT MANMOHAN SINGH AGREED TO MEET NARAYAN GOWDA IN PERSON TO RECEIVE MEMORANDUM SHOWS THE GROWING CLOUT OF RAKSHANA VEDIKE.
EACH AND EVERY KANNADIGA SINCERELY HOPE THAT KA RA VE GROWS STRONGER AND STRONGER AND POSSIBLY BECOME A POTENT POLITIAL FORCE IN STATE.
Just one word: Sad. The unemployed and unemployable KRV hoodlums might as well wear jackboots, if they have the class to carry it off.
I completely agree with Dr. Ramesh. KRV is the best thing that has happened to Karnataka after a long time. We should be careful in projecting our strengths, though. I have a suggestion: we should focus only on the injustice Karnataka has suffered while allowing non-Kannadigas to co-exist peacefully in Karnataka.
I fully support blackening MES Mayor in Bangalore. It was long over due. Mani Shankar Iyer is another deserving candidate for the same treatment–because he was instrumental in blocking many projects to Karnataka. As usual our Oscar F was sleeping…

I am against any KRV faction that indulges in acts like attacking Belagavi Mayor or destroying properties. MES was in decline in Belagavi city anyway and the attack has certainly caused the group to reorganize itself.
I certainly want this group to become more mature, civilised and become more strategic in their thinking and fighting. There is nothing wrong with show of force on the street as long as the group fights in a civilised manner without driving a wedge between people or doing things that give us all a bad name.
It is easy for someone like me who is well educated and has a comfortable job to pass judgment on KRV and call them sad, mad or thugs. How many of us will fight for KA’s causes? Fight against job discrimination in central and private sectors? Our political parties are controlled by central high commands and interests of the local people are not an issue them.
KRV can be effective if it remains apolitical.
It is sad to see some drunk ‘members’ of KRV create ruckus at times. They practice dhaid-bhaid culture mostly. KRV is certainly a good thing to have happend for us. But they need to move above petty vandalism and think big. The factions within KRV are supported to gain strength as this would keep an automatic check on the growth of KRV, which the political parties are very much interested in. Currently they are charged with high levels of energy and emotions. They need thinkers who can take them to higher levels. Let us hope for a great regional force. It could be KRV.
i think the main reason why we have the varied responses to KRV might to be becoz it doesnt have a leading personality(ies) backing it ..be it from the intellectual community/ ruling party / opp party openly. No one grudges their existence but the bonafides do matter in case of people wanting to support a organization.
We need the means of both Gandhiji and Bose, Bhagat Singh, Azad and others to achieve something.
It is not just sad or bad. It sis really dangerous. And, some irrespossible scribes are also equally respossible for attacks. Why they attacked NGO office in Mysore ? just becos there was a distorted pice published in VK. Ang, how they attacked Vartha Bhavan in Mysore ? Few scribes instigated them…..
few years back , IN MNC MOBILE PHONE OFFICES in jayanagar , ONE WOULD find everything was in english, kannadigas were looked down upon, this was protested by KA RA VE and other organisations , big time.
now we can transact in kannada because kannadigas are employed in their offices—- these are the positive effects of KA RA VE.
GR
We don’t care if MES got an indirect boost because its mayor’s face was blackened in Bangalore. KRV did a right thing in making sure that MES would not just talk shit about Kannadigas. I don’t know what your point is? “Slowly slowly catchee monkey?” is it? It won’t work that way!
Thank you, KRV. Some members of KRV are prone to violence because of the extreme intolerance shown towards Kannada. It is always Newton”s III Law in these cases.
God Bless KRV!

Yes, kannadigas are liberal, tolerant and reasonable. We do have such reputations but at any point of time these reputations cannot be taken for ride. Having the ability of being more aggressive and assertive, these reputations will have more weitage.
Ka Ra Ve has been assertive enough when it comes to tarring a Mayor. At the same time Ka Ra Ve has been reasonable enough when it comes to “Kaveri hOrATa”. Why did Ka Ra Ve went to Delhi and meet PM in protesting the verdict? They are the TRUE KANNADIGAS. Why did Ka Ra Ve met Lalu Prasad Yadav protesting against “Removing of Kannada name plates on trains”? Why did they protest against the removal of Kannada Employees at Bengalooru airport?
Having said these, we are in need of such politicians who can see the world in the eyes of kannada. Let a kannada political party emerge from Ka Ra Ve. We shall second them. I believe Ka Ra Ve has the ability to voice out against several injustice of Central Govt against Karnataka.
As a tamilian who is born and brought up in bangalore i feel it is every citizen’s right to save his language and its culture. I think KRV is doing very rightly to save its own land, language and culture.

Journey back, and you will realise that, freedom of India was a result of the combined effort from Moderates, extremists and revolutionists.
Present day scenario:
What we have today in place of freedom is “Kannadiga dignity” and extremists are KRV with a penchant for revolution.
What the then moderates of the society (post independence) in Karnataka, or the revolutionists, could not do, is appreciably done by KRV these days. Be it, painting the face black of Mr. More (targetting MES) or film row, the kaveri row etc… the voice is heard.
At present, KRV is the only body which is representing Karnataka, but with only a societal and pro-kannada, kannadiga, karnataka tag. I hope in future, its capability expands to the political wing as well.
rgds
Phantom
I AGREE WITH THE VIEW THAT KRV IS NEEDED TODAY FOR BENGALURU .. BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE VEDIKE NEED TO BE MORE MATURED … THEY SHOULD NOT LET THEM SELVES TO BE USED BY THE VESTED INTERESTS … RECENTLY THERE WAS AN INCIDENT WHERE A LANDLORD USED THE KRV FRACTIONS TO EVICT A TENANT… IDEA WAS SIMPLE… THE HOUSE OWNER DIRTIED THE FACE OF RAJKUMAR IMAGE PAINTED ON THE BOUNDARY WALL HIMSELF.. AND SPREAD THE NEWS THAT TENENT HAS DONE IT.. RESULT WAS A KRV STRIKE IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE TO EVICT THE TENANT… SUCH INCIDENTS WILL EFFECT THE CREDIBILITY OF THEIR JENUINE STRUGGLES TOOO…..
kannadigas were treated as second rate citizens in bengalooru, belagavi—- now atleast northies, tamils etc …………….Bull shit!
a bunch of inferiority complexed morons
they KRV bastards attacked bank employees who tried to recovered money lended to ‘Kannadiga’ goondas. and out of court wanted lakhs of rupees to ‘settle’ the issue. look at the people behind it. not just the issue. These bastards are just ‘haftha vasools who give Kannadigas ‘protection’.
Rama , Please watch your language .
They only broke some arms who were arm twisting in name of money lending . Even Supreme court has ordered to be civilised when it comes to recovery ( the recent diktat to citibank recovery agents )

i thought this forum was for thoughtful dicussion , exchange of opinions .but seeing the remark made by RAMA , ONEFEELS DISGUSTED . WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT PERSON TALKING.
KA RA VE HAS OVER 4 LAKH ACTIVISTS , WHO ARE STRIVING TO KEEP KANNADA PRIDE ALIVE , AND THIS PERSON CALLS ALL OF THEM BASTARDS.

We are talking about spineless politicialns, belagavi mayor, kaveri issue. Are you kannadigas want belagavi or not, want kannada in karnatka or not, want Kaveri or not?
When the politicians have not been able contain anything in these 50 years, when the non-kannadigas take Karnataka and kannadigas for granted, when those of you who are global, open, broad minded kannadigas are supporting kannada with being unaware of what is your duty, what is the reason for today’s situation – we need some one to take care of interests of our language and land. When the peaceful protests and demands were not being heard by government, politicians and those of you who are saying KRV is just into violence, what was the alternative? once more’s face was blackened Govt got the guts to hold assembly session in belagavi, you people have realized something is happenning in Belagavi… I can pick every situtaion and explain what might have pushed KRV to also protest differently.
When KRV people are loosing their blood, food, peace of life…. you people sitting away from the whole scene not even getting into action in supporting kannada, getting influenced by one sided media…. expressing your biased views without looking at the big picture and long term results of today’s kannada situation at least have started realizing how much is going on, how much is kannadigas being pushed to the wall. These things would not have been possible if KRV is not doing all it can in “sama, dana, bheda and daMDa”
Kannadigare understand the situtation, if you want kannada to be there for your next generation support KRV.

First of all those who comment in papers about kannada activists are the biggest cowards or they are paid to do so. The biggest problem with these intellectuals are their inability to do things,which they genralise to entire socitey.
Further more they are not ready to accept the facts and try to live in their fools paradise that everything is fine.
This behaviour is widley seen the non resident indians,who think INDIA is same they left some decades ago. They even go to an extent that to call others DESPOS,those who accept the fact.
Coming to KRV issue,i have been watching them over internet for last 3years so. Day by day their professional attitude to solve Kannada problems needs a kudos not kicks. As the old rule of Panchatantra,they too follow SAMA,BEDHA,DANA and DANDA. But unfortunatley they despo media is interested in only DANDA,which they blow out of propotion. As usuals the so called COMMENTERS of this socitey comment,preaching all their cowardness in the form kannadigas adjecives.
We strongly need an organisation which has base in entire state. We dont want some orgn which are limited to only Bangalore-Mysore region. We need to raise a voice for our brothers in Belgaum and Mangalore,then only they will act for any issue which is related to B-K-T region.
The external forces are trying divide and rule,the plight of kannadigas has gone to worse from bad.In these scenerio we need an organisation which binds all kannadigas and act as a Regional integrator. Only one name I can think of is KRV.
as KRV grows, it will get more enemies within the state,more dogs bark on its way.Its should learn the art of ignoring these cheap elements, who will be ther everywher.
-M B
Is this brand of Kannadiga assertion good or bad for the State?
Ans:- They are boon to kannadigas. Only bunch of jealous moron try to pretend they are not.
Does the Vedike represent the people of Karnataka, or is it just a cover for lumpen elements?
Ans:- Obivously. They have s strong presence in every part of the state,irrespective of any state problems, all sections of state protest.Which was missing over centuries. Before asking some stupid questions abt KRV, every indivual should touch their heart and ask when was the last time entire state unified for the state issue.
Are its actions helping or harming Kannadiga identity, and the cause of Kannadigas?
Ans:- They are helping offcourse.
Our previous generation presented KANNADIGAS as TOLERANT,PATIENT,ADJUSTING ..etc. Over the centuries these glorified characterstics made us impotent since these inabilities we deep rooted in our genes.
No wonder why everyone raided over this. We dont need any characters which personifys kannadigas as COWARDS and rest of world should not mistake them for our weakness.
Is Kannada safe in its hands?
Ans :- Is it a question to ask ??.
Good Discussion.
Nobody bothered to comment on how blocking / protesting screening of a particular language movie would bring cauvery to the state and uplift the status of Kannadigas. Chauvinism and good sense do not mix well together. It is sad that politicos here have abandoned Kannada cause. But Vedike may end up damaging it in the end.
I think the best part about KRV is that they are willing to get out to the streets and fight, be in in bengaloor or Delhi. We have paid enough price for our swalpa adjust maadi complacency. Its important to have a organisation which is up in cudgels whenever someone besmirches kannada or casta aspersions on kannadigas. I would want to fully support KRV and I think in historical perspective, some ‘violent’ forms of protest are needed if u want to people to wake up and take notice of u and take cognisance of ur legitimate issues. No use signing petitions online from AC chambers
Idiot RAMA, saku nidde madappa.
Karnataka Rakshana Vedike is doing a wonderful Job.
T.A.Narayana gowda is one of the best leaders, Karnataka has seen

Yes – everyone should respect his or her language but let us not forget that we are all INDIANS, BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE SAME COUNTRY.
We belong to the same culture,tradition and values.
Why create illfeeling between people just because they speak different languages. Propably the greatest blunder was the creation linguistic states.
Imagine the old Madras state / presidency covering almost the entire south- more or less homogenous people, lived in hormony.
Why should we create animosity between people of south india?
What will we ever achieve by this?
In an age, WORLD IS FAST BECOMING FLATTER WE NEED TO COLLABORATE AND COOPERATE WITH PEOPLE IN REMOTE CORNERS OF THIS EARTH.
WILL IT NOT BE WISER TO SPEND OUR PRECIOUS TIME TO DEVELOP OUR STRENGTHS, ABILITY TO COORDINATE AND COOPRATE WITH MORE PEOPLE – CREATE SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES AND ORGANISATIONS ?
There is no point spilling bad blood and history is replete with examples that bad blood had never achieved any good for anyone or group or community or religion or race or country.
its right on part of rakshina vedike to carry out act like this.even shiv sena had done the same in late 70s in bombay.if tamil nadu wants larger share of cauvery water than we are open for that ,but only condition is that along with that they have to take 30% tamil population in bangalore with them.
have the dare to do that.no because they are enjoying bangalore resource.(yara appana gantu hoyethu).
Nice one, Putta!
well said Putta
Karnataka da MPs/ MLAs galu yella Shendaru/Hijada galu. Parliament nalli hedaru koothu kolluthare.

First – who gives the KRV the right to decide what language movie I watch or I dont. What books I read or not. Tomorrow they might tell me to eat only ragi mudde. I have nothing against ragi mudde or Kannada movies or literature. but you cannot insist on what I do or choose not to do as long as what I do is legal.
Second – is our culture is so weak that it needs goons to protect it?
Third – breeding snakes in one’s house is not a smart thing.
Fourth – Karnataka’s problem is not that Tamil is spoken in Bangalore, etc. Go to the rural areas and see the poverty there. No roads, no hospitals, no proper schools. of course the poor count for nothing in our country.
Fifth – has anyone stopped you from speaking in Kannada?
Can someone describe intelligently what problems Kannadigas in Bangalore face? Let’s analyze what the causes are.
Srivathsa,
Guruve, swalpa kannu bittu nodu. You seem to be living some one else’s dream!
Srivathsa ..you are totally wrong in mis representing about kannadigas
well lets not get into Thale Hidkara HaavaLi
Brethren,
Let me once again ask all of us not to tow a line of linguistic aggressiveness without considering the long term damage we will create to the cordial relationship between the southern states.
Let us remember that a large population of Kannadigas live in several states especially Tamilnadu, Kerala and Maharastra. Is it fair to sow seeds of animosityand hatred between brethren?
I have personally seen kannadiga families in the remotest parts of this country. They have been never looked down by the local population in those areas.
Tamilnadu literally has kannadiga families in smallest towns also.
KNNADIGAS OWN LARGE AREAS OF LANDS IN TAMILNADU – THEY ARE A LEADING AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY IN SEVERAL PARTS OF TAMILNADU- IN SOME AREAS THEY ARE A VERY AFFLUENT COMMUNITY TOO!
MYSORE ASSCIATIONS AND PURANDARADASA SHABHAS ARE SPREAD OVER THE WHOLE STATE in Tamilnadu.
Purandaradasa’s kirthnas are enjoyed with love and deep respect in Tamilnadu.
Whatever be the issue, people can definetely find amicable solutions by dialogue and reasoning.I am confident all pending issues can be solved to every one’s satisfaction provided there is a political will. Why not ask them to solve the issues – afterall it is their duty.
Why create bad blood between common men who always want to live in peace with every one.
Eracting barriers /walls around us is a sure shot way to take us back to stone age -literally. All of us are aware OF THE FAST CHANGING ECONOMIC, BUSINESS AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT WHERE IT IS FLAT AND OPEN and if we erect walls around us no one else will be a looser.
Let us learn from what is happening around us.
Every Kannadiga is proud of Bangalore’s achivements but Economists and corporate managers are equally aware that CAPITAL CAN SWIFTLY MOVE TO WHEREVER IT IS ADVANTAGEOUS. Let us not create UNPLEASANT, UNCOMFORTABLE, UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT ANYWHERE PLEASE.
Nija helabeku andhre Rama matthe Srivathsa anthavaru innu mundhe barabeku. And they have to be more vocal and show the poison they have on their minds. They need to call KRV and all kannadigas ‘bastards’. Imagine their attitude – that too living in Karnataka! Uppu thindha manege yeradu bageyavaru. It will only make us realise that there is no use trying to reason or talk with such migrants who behave as though they are superior to all people from Karnataka. This will only show that the KRV and its cause is indeed justified. They will help shorten the timelines – and drive even hogli bidi type people (god bless them) to start empathising with the ‘hoodlums’ – which will be good for the movement. And anyway once the heat is turned on – it is rats like them who will turn tail and run. Jackboots are ok…
Gowd,
Economists matthe corporate managers berekade hogli bidi. The Bangalore streets are already too overcrowded for their big cars. And there is no parking for them when they go out to shop. Their children are not able to get admission in convent schools. There is no playgrounds left. The cost of everything has gone up. In fact if they all packed up and left what you called the unpleasant, uncomfortable and unsafe environment may improve.
Oh and the kannadigas in Tamil Nadu, I am sure they have learned to speak Tamil. Dont they ensure that in TN? We are not so much into language imposition here. And anyway – nobody has any problem with Tamilians or anyone else. It is only people with a bad attitude towards local people – be they tamil, hindi, kannadiga.
Srivathsa,
Hallige hoggidhe. Things have certainly improved there. Bengaloorigintha jaasthine improve aagidhe (considering how its been with Bangalore last couple of years). Roadu, hospitalu, schoolu improve aagidhave. Janasanke swalpa jaasthi aagthaidhe. Aadhare allu horagadeindha bandhavara kaata – As things improve – I am sure it will get worse in this regard, yaakandhare nimmanthavaru horgadeavaru bandhu jaanda haaki namma halliavara jeevana haal maadthira.
Good that KRV cowards attacked More, elected mayor of Belgaon. They have kindly ensured Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti win for next 5 years until Belgaon is rightly merged with Maharashtra.
pratik, neenu ssavira sali koogadidru belagaavi maharashtrakke serolla.
“local people” andhre yaaru swaami (-gale)?
the people who have stayed in bangalore for 10 years? 50 years? 100 years? 1000 years? the descendants of k.hanumanthaiah? native kannadigas? whose parents speak kannada? or, whose parents speak kannada but they can’t? marwari shop-keepers who speak better kannada than me? or, tamilian iyengars who are more concerned about kannada grammar than KRV? the people who shout slogans? the people who deface public property? the anglo-indians who work for the city’s poor? the north-indian who runs a NGO for orphans? the muslim who’s provided employment to thousands? the six-month Blore newbie who protests the cutting of the city’s trees? deve gowda and his brethren only? KRV activists only? kannada authors? tax-payers only? auto-drivers? people with a surname that is kannadiga? you? me?
“local people” yaaru swaami?
This is the Q to ask, Shreyas.
All these KRV activists shoul ask this to themselves.
Everyone in Karnataka will be a KRV activist if it does what is good for Karnataka, instead of doing flimsy things like spoiling our own Bangalore city walls, breaking public property, stopping screening of films.
WAKE UP.!!! There are a million other things we need to set right in Bangalore & Karnataka. Our Eco-System, Infrastructure, City Cleanliness.
Instead of Crying Kannada, Kannada & doing all but Vandalism.
Karnataka is one of the most corrupt states in the Country, no better than Bihar & UP. Look at our own neighbouring states, AP, TN, Maharashtra & Kerala. At least they do what is good for the state, though there is corruption everywhere, in Karnataka all the politicians do is put public money into their pockets.
Why I support KRV?
We are the only one capable of preventing belgaum & NW karnataka areas from joining Maharashtrata, retrieve Kasargod from Kerala, prevent giving cauvery waters to tamil nadu, get our due share from Maharashtrata in krishna river, get even with AP on irrigation projects based on krishna river, prevent injustice to kannadiga people in Goa etc.
This is not a question about natural justice or sharing or living in harmony or integrity or economic feasibility or any such crap. THIS IS ALL ABOUT HONOUR. We will be patient but we will not hesitate to DO ANYTHING to implement our agenda.
We will do this to save kannada honour. In that pursuit, kannadiga people should be prepared to face sacrifices. It may be loss of revenue, loss of peace or even loss of freedom. But for a greater cause you should forego all these things. And dear non-kannadigas in Karnataka, if you want stay here with these conditions stay here or else please leave. We never asked you to come and contribute to bengaluru’s development or Karnataka’s development.
A true kannadiga.
I am a Kannadiga. Everybody needs Rakshana from Karnataka Rakshana Vedike.
If Kannada has to improve, first let them treat other language persons as brothers and sisters, then automatically Kannada will improve. So called Karnataka Rakshana Vedike, I don’t think you people doing any good thing to our state. I do support Vattal Nagaraj and his organisation but not Karnataka Rakshna Vedike. These Karnataka Rakshana Vedike activists are no way superior to others.
“Cogito ergo sum” ! Thanks to KRV and similar pro-kannada organisations. keep up the good work guys.
Kannada Rakshasa Vedike???
KRV men held for murder
DH News Service, Bangalore:
Byatarayanapura police arrested seven persons belonging to Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (TA Narayan Gowda faction) on charges of murder.
The accused have been identified as Revanna, the president of KRV Vithal Nagar branch, Naveen, Raja, both associate secretaries, Girish, treasurer, Deepu, Giridhar and Nagesh, all organising secretaries.
According to the police, Sunil alias Palla (23), a resident of Rudrappa Garden, was murdered by the gang on December 31.
Sunil, an auto driver, was jailed for some time in connection with theft, extortion and attempt to murder cases. He had been released from jail recently.
After his release, jail, Sunil used to demand money from the accused. Whenever they failed to follow his instructions, he would threaten them with life. Therefore, they eliminated him on the night of December 31.
KRV denies links
KRV President Narayan Gowda has denied the accused belong to KRV. Neither they are the members of the KRV, nor do we have any relationship with them, he claimed.
There was a time when Kannada horatagaararu limited their actions to blocking highways, burning effigies, or doing perfectly inane things of the Vatal Nagaraj variety. This is perhaps the first time that a Kannada organization has resorted to a show of force and was not shooed away by the police. The dispersal of the applicants–how can one tell they are all Biharis or Martians?–in all directions is an indication of the terror struck into their hearts by the Vedike.
What I would like to know is if there are any legal grounds for the Vedike’s obstruction of business. Situations like this are best handled by the courts. The More business was a denial of the right to free expression guaranteed by the Constiution. Any municipal body can pass any motion as long as it does not threaten national security or as long as it does not lead to disturbing the peace.
What has been the result of violently insulting Shri More in th Dushyasana fashion? Is there any less resistance on the part of Belagavi Marathi speakers to remain part of Karnataka because the man was assaulted? It is easy to unleash violence but hard to control it. Violence begets violence. We better remember that there are Kannada people living all over the country and we have no right to endanger their safety.
This debate is important because we need to be certain that we are not supporting a Bhasmaasura.
What next? If protests like this one multiply will we be in danger of the Vedike speaking for all of us? Will undisciplined squads callling themselves Kannada this or Kannada that start attacking anything they consider a threat to Kannada and Karnataka? How do we determine the legitimacy of the group or the cause it claims to fight for?
I am a Kannadiga to the core, but I cannot bear the thought of Kannadigas having to pay for the actions an outfit that claims to represent them without their express approval.
Without discipline and accountability, no movement gets the stamp of approval from the general public. The Vedike’s fundamental obligation at this time is to show that it is disciplined and accountable and that there is a practical, philosophical basis for its actions.
It is only lancha swartha and greed nothing else Kananda is a vehicle that is all in the end the true skin will be exposed. What a shame that there are no sociologists and men of letters only a mass factory of call centre and IT coolies who see Karnataka through thier AC rooms and who know only fifth avenue and native botique in Koramangala.
Alas P R Brahmhananda D V Gundappa were men whose honesty and life made liars reduce to dust are no more what a fall what a fall I can only cry before gandhi ji and lament the shameful cowards who do not mean one word for my language or for my state No literature or social science is needed only IT BT coolies more cars and more greeed and more kananda of course go on a stampede butcher every tamilian every bengali every indian you will see the consequences Some will die fighting you however
***
How many of these sudden evangelists do a MA in Kananda. IT BT people where pressure starts building upon children to some how join engineering cannot talk of karanataka culture. Without a basic knowledge of Sociology Political Science and Economic theory talking for the sake of talking is a sin. Why cannot the passionate arm chair activists here do something here. Maybe you could murder all the innocent tamilian flower sellers and the same could happen in tamil nadu?
***
Neither Tamil nadu or AP is to blame for irrigation projects. Please walk through Sadashivnagar to see how politicians have prospered and visit their constituencies once in a blue moon. Who knows nowadays whose intentions are genuine. power and greed corrupt and what will follow is understood.My state’s corruption is quite well established and there are many sharks who chirp various tunes including kananda nudi when it suits them[ it was poor PB Srinivos who sang that song and sometime back some regionalists tore him to shreds]
***
WHERE ARE DALIT VOICES WHERE ARE VOICES OF UNTOUCHABLES THE EXPLOITED OF NORTH KARNATAKA , the slum dwellers who have been displaced by the same kananda chauvanists who draw six figure salaries and talk dodda dodda matagualu. Before pointing 1 finger see the fingers that point back
IT PROFESSIONALS / software coolies have no right to flaunt their sudden love for Kananda bhashe.
***
Not all people will run with jackboots and tails one. india will live and Indians will fight those who break her up and when push comes to shove it will be those who scream loudest who will flee like plague. Indian nationalists will fight those who want independece from her till every last drop and will lay down their life for their motherland not petty regionalists who needless to say are from a particular caste grouping that claims to talk for the whole of the state.
***
There apparently seem to be quite a few sympathetic remarks supporting such acts of hooliganism! The same chauvanists need the Bangalore of the present form to thrive. If Bangalore was nondescrept place near Dudhani or Afzalpur which are actaully Switzerland will they still make so much ruckus. I gather we are one place where one can live without work and till eat from parents money well into ones 40s with a henti and makkalu added.
***
Please I beg you go to the starved bowels of illkal and yadgir. Feed the hungry stomachs and then talk of emancipation. One cannot preach of language when the stomach is hungry and one is committing suicide. Many of the so called passionate advocates of Knanada have never even bothered to travel 15 hours regularly in an ordinary KSRTC bus in Illkal or from Shahpur or have relished a jowar roti with a poor farmer. Driving big cars and living in AC rooms and preaching about Kannada is very easy indeed. Kannada is very diverse and one override he rich divergence and alternative articulations of other regions. One is tried of the hegemony of a particular group which claims to speak for the identity and rights of a few over many voiceless and oppressed people and other regional aspirations.
The other alternative will be to split from india and form another country called Kannada Nadu. Those who want to fan the flames of fascism and hatred are most welcome to do so but will not find space in the hearts and minds of the majority. Jai Hind. Vande Mataram . I will breathe India die for India and give my every last drop of my blood to my India. Caste region and religion have been used to divide this country for long. People in North Karnataka are starving without even a meal to eat with mega cities like Bangalore eating away all the resources and where greed has taken over need. Karnataka is not Mandya, Chennpatan, Mysore and Bangalore and not cricket and IBN live. Please travel by 3rd class and see the state. This is where all the new found passionate advocates live ironically.
***
We do not even get projects like Solapur Gadag Line completed. Who knows how many crores have been swallowed? An ordinary day train cannot be run from Bangalore to Mangalore because of the buss lobby and political interests.
So many railway projects like the Raichur Bidar line have been scuttled. The railway minister in the south is only for Tamil Nadu. In the age of Plasser machines completing even 70kms of line from Bangalore to Tumkur takes ages to do so and completing Bangalore Hassan is in the indefinite future. We cannot even complain to run our trains on time. Let all trains run to Patna and every village be connected to Patna.
By the way North Karnataka remains neglected, so much so for all the pontification of Kannada identity. Is North Karnataka is not a part of Karnataka after all?
***
I urge the few who want to voice this new found Kannada identity not to play the Hindu Muslim card in an enthusiastic pursuit of their separatist agenda. Work in the bare parched sub contracted fields where water is a trickle first under 50 degree centegrade [again because towns like Raichur and Shahbad have to suffer warming[ it is a fact that temperature has risen in Raichur owing to RTPC to run the energy guzzling cities of Mysore and Bangalore where all Kannada patriots reside]! Literature and language are for content happy and full stomachs who see the world from their eyes, not from the eyes of people who are dyeing.Wittgenstain was correct about the reflexivity of reality and also one doubts many of these rowdys [who have to do not work but can still live well fed] will not even pass a simple examination on the Indian constitution or know who DV Gundappa or basic Kannada literature is.
JAI HIND JAI BHARAT MATA KI TO HELL TO HER ENEMIES AND MAY THEY SUFFER THE DIREST CONSEQUENCES
***
To add to the last line a henti to copulate to your hearts content and as a result a belly to exapand and no work, not morals just go ahead and do it riot and murder all people including sanketis and kannada iyengars, madhvas, dalits who speak a mx of tamil-kannada, telugu-kannadigas who as per definitions allocated here are not kanadigas.Too bad we kannadigas now become non kannadigas because certain groups define the parameters of my identity and trample other identities [though I can trace my lineage for over 400 years and more ] Dalit, Hindu, Muslim Christian. You do not represent karnataka’s culture. What a fall what a danger if hooligans who represent this so called culture become representatives of a goonda movement who are big ciphers in every aspect of life and know only eating sleeping and screwing perhaps. Forgive me for being vulgur.
Please see poverty and grime first. Think of the poor and homeless who christian organizations have been doing yeoman service. The same chauvanists want skip one meal but will donate a crore to a temple and not help a poor hindu or muslim farmer who consumed pesticide in north karnataka.
***
One tends to know the scriptures quiet well and the regionalists may try to find a look hole. Look at the Isavyasa upanishad and there seems to be some sense in it. All pretence will come to a fall. Only the true dedicated, sincere footsoldiers will live and will cut their stomach but will not flee with jackboots on. First of this SMS IT BT language of english is appalling. The moment Kannadigas want BE/BTECH and 1 K placement or call centre goodies and rich brides[ the pressure begins from 2nPUC cramming shops itself] and forget to read T S Elliot or literature they have lost any moral right to talk of their language. Life is not so simple to live like bat man. One has to committ to certain values and morals atleast good or bad they may be.
***
to fight for the truth and only dharma not for your perverted causes
***
and the truth is to defend India and her territorial integrity and not allow certain groups to define themselves as Kannadigas and exclude others who are from other regions or other religions or castes.
Yadgir Sahebra–
We all agree with what you say. Kannada is our Dharma. Kannadigara hitha kaapaaduvudu namma karma, moksha ithyadi.
There has to be just one Karnataka, not Old Mysore State, Bombay Karnataka, and Hyderabad Karnataka. Uttara Karnatakada jana kudiyo neerillade goladuththiddare, dakshina karnatakada janarige adu yaake mukhya alla? The Kaveri dispute did not cause much resentment in the north either.
We must protect our rivers and have an equitable irrigation system. We should get the government in New Delhi to concede our just demands. To be a happy kannadiga is to speak Kannada in Karnataka and have a reasonably decent life. Until then, culture, literature, sculpture, or whatever will not mean a thing.
KRV nanna husiru
karnataka kannada janara vedhike

We need to support this group make it strong it is our duty.
JAI KRV
Murali
How does one make donations to KRV?
Having affection for Kannada is fine but not at the cost of excluding and including some as Kannadigas or having hegel mel towel Kananda regionalism NOR is it massacring innocent Indians or spreading poison against them. [ Also remember all the southern languages especially Tamil and Telugu are so entwined with each other and one cannot forget the composite history. It is sad some want to go ahead with the massacre and orchestrate a blood bath. Well Karnataka is the next place for ethnic cleansing[ this is not the karnataka I know]. Karnataka come only after India, we are Indians first and last til our last breath.
***
It is also sad that rowdys now have taken the mantle of representing kannada culture. Let blade cutting auto drivers now champion kannada and may some fools donate their blood and money and also win elections and make other gains.
***
Hyderabad Karnataka is anyway forgotten always very easily and it is only Mysore mandya people who are kannadigas

AI BHARAT JAI HIND I PRAY THE ALMIGHTY TO DESTROY ALL WHO WISH INDIA ILL AND WANT TO BEGIN CIVIL WAR AND ETHNIC CLEANSING
Srivathsa,
Who is stopping you in Karnataka? If it is intolerable you don’t have to stay here. There is all possibility we Kannadigas may force you to eat Raagi mudde.
BTW Raagi Mudde is not poison. The way you addressed it hurts the feeling of local people. I wonder what you eat!
if u want to support KRV, please log on to karave.blogspot.com

@Yadgir_Wadi,
You are a confused soul dude !. One side you talk about Kannada-Kannadiga’s protection, the next moment you talk of KRV as goonda.
Let me ask you few questions.
1> Is KRV responsible for the plight of Hyd Karnataka?? The two great leaders from the region Kharge / Dharmsingh got elected for atleast 8 times already. What have they done for the region?? I saw a recent news where they said, hardly any toilet facility is there in Dharmasingh’s constituency. Why the people in that region are electing them election after election?? Why can’t people question their lack-lustre attitude towards to region?? Contrary to this,
1>KRV has been fighting for the implementation of Kalsa-Banduri project which will solve the drinking water problem of atleast 4 districts in North
Karnataka.
2> It is KRV whose active campaining in Belagavi region that Kannadigas got together for the first time and as many as 27 kannada corporators got selected in the elections.
3> KRV spear headed the agitation opposing Kaveri tribunal verdict and took a team of 25000 farmers from the region and made it possible to defer the decision to make it a law by the central govt.
4> Since the last 5 days, the KRV soldiers fighting for the legitimate rights of our brothers and sister in the railway Groud D employees fiasco.
You talk KRV taking an agressive stand against non-kannadigas. Can you tell me what other measures you have in your mind? You want them to sit for a dharna and Central govt will immidiately cancel all the recruitment they are doing to fill as many biharis as possible?
When the politicians representing the 5 crore kannadigas have gone charecter less and sold their pride and dignity, who else will fight for our problems??
It’s very easy sitting in an AC room and writing long stories about what is right and wrong. I dare you comeout on the road and fight for our problems.
One last question, will you talk the same even if your boss removes you from your job for a bihari? Will you talk all Indians are equal and you are happy that you have helped a bihari get a job?? My brothers and sisters are denied their legitimate rights in their own land and are getting reduced to third grade citizens. No jobs in central govt establishments / No job in IT/BT, do you think we are here to donate all our resources to outsiders and go to himalayas??
Stop this bull shit.
@ Pulikeshi the Last
Pulikeshi the Last : What has been the result of violently insulting Shri More in th Dushyasana fashion? Is there any less resistance on the part of Belagavi Marathi speakers to remain part of Karnataka because the man was assaulted?
Hiranyaaksha : Yes Sir, there is less resistence on part of belagavi marati speakers, and the results in the recently held elections for Belagavi city corporation speaks the tale.
For more info:
http://karave.blogspot.com/search/label/%E0%B2%97%E0%B2%A1%E0%B2%BF
Pulikeshi the Last : It is easy to unleash violence but hard to control it. Violence begets violence. We better remember that there are Kannada people living all over the country and we have no right to endanger their safety.
Hiranyaaksha : Sir, you need to understand that violence was unleashed upon kannadigas, Kannadigas just retaliated.
Pulikeshi the Last : This debate is important because we need to be certain that we are not supporting a Bhasmaasura.
Hiranyaaksha : No, we ain’t. You got to wait until vaamana grows to become trivikrama.
Pulikeshi the Last : What next? If protests like this one multiply will we be in danger of the Vedike speaking for all of us? How do we determine the legitimacy of the group or the cause it claims to fight for?
Hiranyaaksha : Sir, it has 800000 supporters in form of activists, this is in no mean that KRV represents small faction of Kannadigas. So, lets be judicious enough and recognise legiticimacy of the group.
Pulikeshi the Last : I am a Kannadiga to the core, but I cannot bear the thought of Kannadigas having to pay for the actions an outfit that claims to represent them without their express approval.
Hiranyaaksha : Well sir, approval from 800000 supporters in form of activists and their families is enough, ain’t it?
Pulikeshi the Last : Without discipline and accountability, no movement gets the stamp of approval from the general public. The Vedike’s fundamental obligation at this time is to show that it is disciplined and accountable and that there is a practical, philosophical basis for its actions.
Hiranyaaksha : Here, you need point out where it lacks discipline and accountability to get an answer.
Any movement must carry itself with dignity, sincerity of purpose and gather mass support as Mr.Pulikeshi has rightly said and seems to have understood what I have stated. Having said that the nation India is bigger than all of us and while it is important to have affinity to one’s language and culture translating it to murder is not correct. If you understand the argument being made it is self explanatory that movements should carry all people and should not be sudden hallucinations of IT BT professionals from AC rooms. I have grown up in Jolad rotti and mensinkai soppu, CTR and am a proud Kannadiga. My ancestors[ their contributions to my state have been immeasurable] and myself do not have to flash a badge of identity to prove my Kannadiga rootes and am sufficiently grounded in my state’s culture knowing it better than many people who are thumping their chest about their identity. Kannadigas are gentle and tolerant people and it is not good to turn us into violent fascists. Maturity, responsibilty and integrity are more important. Some need not be decide who should leave their homeland and who should not.
I have seen my state from corner to corner and not wish to enter into a quarrel over petty thoughts. It is a waste of time just indulging in debate which is backed by emotion rather than a critical analysis of society’s state now.
***
Go to the grass rootes and let a movement emerge that take people from the whole state and make it a non violent movement which has an iron will not to be shaken. Let this movment take the common Kannadiga into account and fight for better education and reform our state from corruption. Please spend time in each and every village in Karnataka and ask what problems they face and what is the poorest Kannadiga’s biggest obstacle to lead a decent life. People living in glass houses need not throw stones. First experience rural karnataka and the problems of suffering people in north karnataka. While defending Karnataka’s interests there is no harm in being passionate about it but we must also remember to be just fair and that we are Indians also.
***
In fact Mr Shambolinga, Sir we have more to agree than disagree and your observations about the sincerity and dedication of any grass roots movement is very much what I have said. Launch a satyagraha that takes all Kannadigas with particular attention to the problems of Hyderaba Karnataka and not just language but the day to day struggles of a common man from Afzalpur or Bagalkot and economic and political problems and make it a powerful voice at Delhi. Let us be Indians but also proud Kannadigas but bring back Shivarama Karanth and DVG and other great writers who have been crushed by this Mc Donalds IT BT culture. We are Kannadigas but also Indians to our last breath. Lauch the satyagraha and another Dandi march to get what cunning and selfish politicians have been cheating every north karnataka farmer who eats pesticide instead of food. Please force all the politicians who live in mansions in sadashivanagara to declare their assets and force them to walk bare foot when the temperature is 45 degrees in illka! Let there be a revolution to expose the cunning politicians who have cheated Karnataka and Hyderabad Karnataka for 60 years now. I wish you well and hope you can achieve these goals.
Jai Hind Satyameva Jayate
***
let each rat be force out and let the shower of notes that have been staked by the leeches be exposed.
***
The day when one can say I have one MA in Kannada and a PhD in Kananda or any other Indian language for that matter and society will not look at her/him like an untouchable because she/he has not doen BE in IT and she or he can lead a decent life without struggling to make ends meet in space age cities like Bangalore is when we have progressed mentally.
I am from North Karnataka region and even I have travelled across the length and breadth of my state sir.
I know the difficulties our people are facing and I agree with you when you say farmers are committing suicide while thier representatives are busy relaxing in their Sadashivanagar villa. But what solution do we have for this sir?
We might talk endlessly about belting our politicians but that’s not going to happen. The best way to get them out of business is with a vote. People should vote them out. But, unless people see a hope in some new party, some new leader, it won’t be possible that people will come out in hordes and vote for a change.
We definitely have a void when it comes to political parties which can safeguard people’s wishes, aspirations address their woes. WE NEED A REGIONAL PARTY, which can safeguard our interests.
But, can we sit idle?? No, either..
One KRV is fighting tooth and nail for all our legitimate rights. When we are being targeted from all the corners, our jobs are being stolen, our water, our land, our resources, everything is being stolen by outsiders. How can we sit idle?
KRV is a no-nonsense organization. When lakhs of people are supporting it, it shows the commitment, the potential they have shown for the people.
KRV doesn’t just talk about Kannada, it will fight for all that is affecting kannadigas, from our water, our land, our people, our language. We must support someone who is fighting without waiting for anybody’s approval.
One last thing sir, why do you think of anybody talking about Kannada-Karnataka-Kannadiga as less patriotic?? I am as much Indian as any other. I love my country just as much as you. But, I believe only a strong Karnataka, a strong Andhra, a strong Maharashtra can make a strong India.
Building a strong Karnataka means uplifting the people from their woes and assuring them a comfortable life and we need efficient administration to achieve this. Our present political clan is totally incapable to achieve this. Our land is due for a political change now, not a simple one but a landscape change.
KRV’s agitation is a step forward to reignite the dead spirit among kannadigas.
Hiranyaaksha–
Nimma uththarakke vandanegalu.
Now that the KRV has more or less established itself, it perhaps should work on gaining the good will of the public by refusing to resort to violence of any kind.
Bring all our MPs and state legislature members together on one platform. Let them explain to us what they have done for Kannadigas and Kannadigas. If they say they will do such and such in the future, it is water poured on sand. We must find a way to send them home.
The Vedike should also be on guard against becoming a handmaiden of the Kannada movie industry.
Read the latest issue of Vikrantha Karnataka. Is the description of the organization just?
How about the allegations that the Vedike has resorted to violence to get a tenant out?
Using violence is not a sign of intelligence.
I am very grateful to your kind words Shambolinga Sir. Please begin the next dandi march revolution and let us cleanse this corrupt system of our state and then perhaps our India. These leeches have become parasites who are bigger than common people themselves. We Indians can achieve so much. It is because of parasites who I need not name that we suffer endlessly. I wish you all success and may we build a better India and better Karnataka. I also urge you to see the sociological reasons behind. When an MA in Kannada or Sociology has no value with no economists or eminent academicians coming but only an assembly line of software coolies is emphasised by society we are in a deplorable state of affairs. We must look in our society. I am a person who is very comfortable living out of the platform of Shahabad and also living comfortably in a big city. I have tried to live and experience North Karnataka intensly always taking the Chittapur passenger and raichur passenger through the blazing heat being comfortable with those innocent people who come for construction work in Toli Chowki, live in the street, because of drought and have that blank look into the sky sqautting on the floor out of subservience that has been bourne out by years of exploitation. This is not to romaticize them but to illustrate their plight. Please do something for them. They do not even know their rights unlike their southern counterparts. If you tell them black is green they will believe you.
***
Please stay away from evil politicians and cine stars and be sincere to your real constituency the poorest Kannadiga of Afzalpur who can only live out of DDT. If you can be serious with issues and firm and sharp with your facts and hope to change Karnataka and even perhaps our India we have hope. Please think of India always in the background. India is not shining but bleeding because of these leeches some of them are from our state. We must look in and analyze the middle class of our society before thinking of any social transformation as we are the biggest hypocrites.
***
Please I beg you Shambolinga Sir to always be non violent in your protest. Civil disobedience and satyagraha is more powerful than using violence. It is better to squat near Yadalapur and bring the railway traffic to a halt and bear a lathi charge than beat or take our knives over hapless biharis who just were told to come because there was an examination. That requires more courage. It will serve two purposes one to materialize the dreams of north karnataka people like the raichur bidar line, better railway amenities [ we do not even have a decent train to Bangalore or Intercity to Hyderabad a place where more of north karnataka goes for trade and work] and jobs for unemployed people who are hopeless against the competition when they wander in Hyderabad or Mumbai or Bangalore.
In India people made Gandhi a god and added him as another idol in the pantheon of gods without appreciating his message or his methods. If KRV used violence to settle a petty tenent dispute than it is very unfortunate and disappointing. An organization’s sustenance and respectability depends upon its moral principles and adherence to the path of truth and moral righteousness always.
***
Raichur Gulbarga and Bidar have been betrayed by MPS and have never got their share and have been stabbed behind their backs after every railway budget.
An organisation like KRV is a must to fight injustice on karnataka people in karnataka in a positive way without mixing politics. Visit any other state capital’s in India, whether in South or North India, one rarely finds people communicating in other state languages. In capital city of karnataka, you find less people speaking in Kannada. From foot path vendor to show room sales executives all speak in non-kannada languages. In some part of bengalooru to buy day to day basics too you should know the name of them in non-kannada language.
Karnataka people are libral people, we allow non-karnataka people to learn and speak their langauges. But as gratitude, every non-karnataka person living in karnataka for long period should learn kannada and should speak only in kannada with a person who knows kannada. In all shops and shopping centres sales executives should start customer service with kannada and later if they find the customer cannot understand kannada can start the customer service by speaking in Hindi or English.
Recently I had visited one of national daily news paper office in M G Road to submit details for advertisement. In the reception counter the staff most of them looked like non-karnataka people or were pretending to speak kannada.
One of the customer who was less english educated kannadiga had come to submit details for advertisement from his office. Lady incharge of collecting the advertisement was speaking to him in english and the person was not able to understand what she was trying to convey. There was no one in the counter who could help the person in kannada. I wondered for while if I am in karnataka capital.
In my view especially in all counters there should be a person who can speak kannada. After all bengalooru is capital city of karnataka, if a kannadiga find difficult in getting things done in his own capital city. I dont see any injustice greater than this. Hope our government will take bold decision in bringing such law.
Visit any MNC office or Banks in bengalooru, you will hardly find people in counter who can speak kannada. Local people should be given preferences for such jobs.
Jai Karnataka
The Governor appointing an Andhra MLC to the syndicate of Women’s U. should wake us up. As many have already said, this is a regional institution and what a non-Kannada person can do to advance its interests is anybody’s guess. Furthermore, this is also an indication that the syndicate will conduct its business in English for the benefit of people like Shrimathi Rajyalakshmi, at a time when one of our fondest desires is to see Kannada being the official language at all public organizations.
Shrimathi Rajyalakshmi is reported to have responded to our objections by asking if all important posts in Karnataka are held by Kannadigas. I wish we could say most, if not all.
Standing on Kannada soil, Velu or whoever he is, nonchalantly says that the Railway outfit has done Karnataka no injustice with reference to non-administrative jobs. And now this?
I certainly am glad that political parties and their leaders have got up the nerve to disagree with the Governor. They all have promised protests, as has the KRV. I would hope that such protests are coordinated with each organisation’s plan. Such a course of action will show that Kannadigas have at last awakened from their stupor.
In the meantime, we should all remember to keep violence out of these actions. Lack of violence will underscore the legitimacy of the protest and bring us support from the public. To read in the papers that such and such an organization destroyed “peethopakaranagalu” and records will only make Kannadigas say they do not want to be associated with such actions. Burning down our own houses is not wise. The result is Kannada and Kannadigas will continue to suffer.
Leaders of the KRV have to be proficient in standard Kannada, English, and Hindi if they want to save us. They should also know a good deal about economics and the economy.
They have already shown that they are completely bereft of any knowledge of the Constitution.
If any one wants One genuine reason why KRV is required please refer article dated 27th February in Bangalore Mirror, a subsidiary of TOI.
These are the claims made by Bangalore Mirror under article HERE NO ONE IS OUTSIDER.
The main theme of the article is Bangalore does not belong to Kannadigas!
Kannada is not main language of Bangalore.
Outsiders need not learn Kannada.
Kempegowda is not Kannadiga.
Bangalore was built by Maratha and Tamil rulers.
They are the real natives of Bangalore.
Kannadigas should learn the language of outsiders not immigrants should learn Kannada.
Any number of immigrants can come to Bangalore.
Bangalore belongs to immigrants.
———-
Now can anyone imagine the consequences had this article been directed against Tamilians and Chennai.
TOI by this article has ridiculed Kannada and Kannadigas. Those who say KRV is harmful, can they explain what type of agitation Kannadigas has to start against TOI.
J Somasekara, It will not happen in Chennai because influx is not high there. It’s Tamil anyway. Kannadigas in Bangalore are caught sleeping. Now they are up awake and the food is already served, eaten and vessels cleaned!
IF THE SITUATION IS LIKE THIS,SOON WE WILL SEE THAT,OUR BENGALURU WILL BECOME ANOTHER MUMBAI.i AM WORKING IN DUBAI.When you go for Real Estate Exibitions here,you will see 90% of NRIs choose Bangaluru for their Apartment/plot. Karnataka Rakshana Vedike is doing a wonderful Job. LET US SUPPORT THEM.We do not have any mass leader like Dr. Rajkumar now.I request all Kannada Chitraranga to be united and fight for the welfare of kannada.We have to save our kannada bhaashe and our Bengaluru.Otherwise we will become slaves of North Indians,in our own land.
Do you have guts to get together on same platform with Punjabi , Marathas, Tamil, Assam etc asking for more power in states. More perseverance of local
Language and culture. Against the Hindi speaking people .
I am sure you will have border, water difference with your neighbours. There are international laws made to resolve them. What people says
Singh–
What exactly is your challenge to us? Are you suggesting that all linguistic groups cooperate to demand more power for themselves in their respective states?
Those (KRV) are the people who are jealous of other people growing to great heights, they are lazy fellows and never exhibit their talents. They are not supporting kannadigas but they are making a hell lot of money saying that. If a person says he is in KRV then he is free to do any thing against the law. i don’t know what the police & political parties are doing. they are puppets in their hands
Whenever a issue like Cauvery or Hogenakal comes to the fore, KRV blocks tamil channels and tamil films, and stops buses to and from TN. This shows rivalry against a particular language. This is not healthy for karnataka.
In 2007 Feb, i was in the US attending an international summit, We got news at the summit that there was unrest in some parts of Bangalore and most people are not able to go to work, i later got to know that the KRV were back at what they are best known for…, so many people from other developed countries, just to name a few, Germany, France, UK, Japan and the US asked me what the problem was and i was ashamed. Until that moment i was so proud to represent Bangalore (Bangalore was recognised among many other global cities like Madrid, London, Boston, Beijing etc.,) great things were spoken about Karnataka and Bangalore. No other state in India has achieved the recognition Karnataka has acheived internationally. Its only when you get out of India, you realise how people look upto Kannadiga’s and this great state Karnataka. This makes me feel so proud.
I just went through all the blogs and the only people supporting KRV are the same people, repeatedly. By supporting KRV and their actions, we are only going to encourage vandalism and illeterate individuals, their ideologies are wrong and they are not literate to understand any political situation and are individuals who will react in the wrong manner. I can understand the frustration we locals have gone through and i’m one among all of you. But i definitely do not beleive agitation and taking the law into your hands and supporting groups like the KRV or the Sena’s in Maharashtra, is the right thing to do.
I am a very proud Kannadiga from Namma Bengaluru, the only time i feel ashamed is when people like the KRV create so much problem in the name of Kannada. Their actions are going to result in hampering the development of our state. If KRV and their supporters think Kannadiga’s have not benefited from the development and global recognition of Bangalore, I think they should blame themselves for that, that is because they did not compete, nothing comes on a platter, hard work and commitment to what you do is required. And please do not put us Kannadiga’s to shame.
Jai Karnataka!!
Nammabengaluru–
What is the alternative to the KRV? Unpretentious Kannadigas, those who don’t waste their time posting their thoughts here, see the Vedike as the only shield there is against the onslaught on Karnataka on every front. Don’t suggest Gandhigiri. It won’t work even in the nation’s usurping first family.
Talk sense to Tamil Nadu? Our cousins to the east have not been on speaking terms with us ever since Tamil and Kannada became separate languages.
Get our MPs to act? Did you ever see a sorrier, more uneducated, selfish brutes? One of them is a union minister and doesn’t even know whether he is or not.
Get Kannada Parishath and other academies to act to create a Kannada consciousness? They all live in the government’s beggars colony. Furthermore, literature, music, and anything else that calls itself cultural are not going to save us or our land.
Get the Union Government to act? The long rule of Congress in the state made us fear Dilli. We have never been taken seriously by the tyrants in the South Block. Such was the case even when somebody from Karnataka was PM.
You say you were shamed by the KRV’s protest. Did you try to explain to your international friends what the situation of Kannadigas is?
I am opposed to the Vedike’s way of representing Kannadigas’ feelings, especially since T. N. Gowda, I mean “Gowdru,” said it was OK to employ terrorism in the fight.
Mahatma Gandhi achieved success by creating an Indian conciousness and using it as a weapon to kick the British out. Self-reliance was a major pillar of that consciousness edifice. We need similar leaders in Karnataka who are unbeholden anything but Kannada, clear-minded, and incorruptible.
Secession?
“Did you ever see a sorrier bunch . . .”
First clarify onething, whether karnataka is in India or not? If it is in India, why it has a separate Flag.
No other states are having separate Flag for them.
Instead of Talking Kannada Kannada better learn How to be a Human.
Every body talking about Bangalore is full of outsiders, what nonsense people of the own country called outsiders?!!!
Are there is no Kannadiga who lives in any other state country?.
Next iam reading about Kannada films are not showned outside karnataka., Make good films all people will watch across the borders.
Even there is no patronage in karnataka for kannada films then how you are expecting in other states.
Are the theatre owners are fools to entertain a movie if there is no watchers. It is not only for Kannada, it is for all languages.
Again it s a business for those who are acting,investing and releasing,why you people are crying about films. Are you going to get anything out of it?
Ok if all so called ”outsiders go out of Bangalore, obviously the loosers are you ‘Kannadigas only. It is just because of the ‘outsiders’a large no. of kannadigas are flourishing by renting out their property, getting money thro business etc etc…
Be broadminded, mingle with people, tell them about the richness of your language,culture, then people will come and learn your language, else kannada will die in the hands of Fanatics like KRV, Vattal.
Hi All ,
I dont know how educated people behave so irrationaly . Especially in this blog. I dont want talk too much ….. but let tell you what I feel .
“After nearly 400 years of surrender under Britain , India got its freedom . However , I feel we still have to fight for the freedom from people who wants to create divides in our own country.I dont care whether you are Kannadiga , Tamil , Mallu or telugu or North Indian…. If you go outside india , you call yourselves only as indians and not as Kannadigas or tamils … because , you know that nobody will recognize you.The only truth is , the people who wants to protect their language and identity are teh ones who are destroying it.If you think , you can achieve anything through violence… I am sorry , you will achieve only extinction…”
Narayan Gowda is not a great leader. He was a small time gangster in Bangalore collecting hafta from local traders. Shame to him and all his supporters on this board. He has got a great support from Champa who is sticking on to his seat even after his term has expired. He is another Sa Ra Govind who is/was a small time gangster.
Well said Kannada putra. You are right. All he used to do was blackmail and hang around with the side artists of kannada cinema in gandhinagar. He still collects money from traders in majestic area. Shame on him.
idiot puts the things in mesh, Like it KRV is doing. Now it is time to watch the quarrel between KRV gowdru and muthappa rai’s jai karnataka team. This will be more entertaiment than IPL. watch it.
If you want be a member of KRV your minimum qualification is you should be rowdy for atleast one month and you should have two criminal case on you. If you meet the requirement can go to nearest KRV office and enroll yourself and get the ID card. No salary but role call are not a constraints you can earn more in peak season like cavery issue and land dealings. You can some time go beyond the laws police will still keep fingers in there mouth.
I think KRV is doing a fine job,. the earlier bangaluru has vanished , there are so much of immigrants from the north and malyalis are bagging all the plum jobs, i stay in a BDA layout alloted to my father, it is a pity there is not one localite staying there, only outsiders have purchased all the houses at 80 lakhs 90 lakhs etc. now they talk as though they own the place and iam considerred an outsider as they do not want to talk in kannada nor do they have respect for the language. I think it is time we are organised like the maharasthra raj thakeray. The outsiders who come we do not know what is their background etc , they commit any crime and vanish to their states. All the hardware shops are run by marwaris and rajasthanis, all the jewellery shops by mallus , most supermarkets in bangalore are run by malyali muslims, and they are purchasing more and more properties here, one day we will be outsiders in our own states, let us drive out these bloody outsiders so that once again our bangalore is peacefull and no traffic jams here.
All this KRV people are jobless people few people do good but many of them are roberies and gundas. for the shake of name thay put their name as Rakshana vedike Most of them are cheaters.
I agree with all those who say KRV its doing a great job!
Bangalore requires such an organisation. Atleast people will have fear to speak against kannada and karnataka. Remember sasken incident, when a foreigner spoke ill abt karnataka and shameless kannadigas laughing happily for dat. No one else came to teach a lesson. It was KRV, now such people have some fear to speak ill abt the land.
Considering the city has so many outsiders, not surprising if the people in bangalore demand for a status as a seperate state. So we need KRV.
But KRV should not opt for violent means. And its a sad state of mind of those kannadigas who are against the KRV…
Jai Karnataka
I know these people who want to be like Shiva Sena of Bangalore. These people under the name of Kannada does not know who Aluru Venkat Rayaru is? These people are goons with no essence of the Kannada language. These people should be put behind bars who want to take an undue advantage on any thing. Please ignore them as dogs on the street which take biscuits(money) to do anything.
Jai Karntaka, Jai Hind
Why can’t people stop being regionalistic chauvinistic pigs and start thinking about being an INDIAN first??
Naanu bengaloornalle poorthi jeevana maadirodu…..namge reservation, nam rajya modlu anno mamakara bittu deshakke modlu yochane madi. Kongru hel thinthare antha andre neevu thinok hogthiralla yen helbeku….
You are an Indian first and a kannadiga afterwards. Drum the bloody feeling inside and do something more constructive rather than going on rampage destroying public property.
Just a load of bollocks!!!
And KRV achieving political status….dont even think about it. It is no less than a dictatorship…..yelladrallu kannada….bekadre poorthi education kannada medium maduvantha jana avru…..

Shame on us all for accepting these people as a part of our society…..
An irate kannadiga.
KRV = Kannada Rowdigala Vedike
:-)
But seriously, the actions of these KRV thugs show what kind of rowdies they are breeding. On paper, KRV might have a noble agenda but the people who actually do the ‘groundwork’ are thugs, and nothing more.
Olle jana iddare illi churumuri alli, lots of people here are strongly opposed to OBC reservations but they encourage thoughts and concepts of Kannadiga reservations. They are worse hypocrites than Arundhati Roy. I am personally opposed to any kind of reservations, on any grounds, and certainly not on linguistic grounds!
Just hypocrisy, thats what all this KRV business is about.

Last week there was a private party organised by a bunch of youngsters for a weekend destress session in the outskirts of bangalore. Yes the party was held beyond the legal time zones set by the law but what right does any organisation have to vandalise this gathering? They can inform the law and be there to oversee the police operation. Which is the right way of going about things instead volunteers of this so called organisation took the law into their own hands. well let alone take the law into their own hands, they blatantly broke the law. They rounded a bunch of young professionals, stole their belongings and misbehaved with the women there. Aiyoo Kanndiga ranne bidilla ri. Kannadiga he maklige ne kai bitttu maja togondru Kannada rakshine hearalli assiha!
They claim to have found narcotics at the venue but at close inspection they had over the counter pills that any one of use to cure ailments. Pills like Flexon, Disprin etc are being projected as narcotics. Packets of sugar and cheese as Cocaine.
Some one needs to wake up to this.
Yellu Kanndiga Yedellu! Kongaralla nimma shatru nimma svanta jana.
I agree that there should be Kannada assertion, in fact strong assertion, It s simple can a kannadiga easilly buy property in other states?? No. Thats because people there reatin their property and retain their control. Dud inna asge hogaganovarige manne, jaminu marbedi. Badigege illis kondu kelasa madikolli.
at Tamil Nadu, if you look at Cine industry alone, there are more other state actors,investors, than Tamils. We didn’t have problem. We didn’t block Kannadiga films, but No Kannadigas in Chennai want to see Kannada movies. Perhaps somebody can show Kannada movies atleast as noon show. No one is ready. We din’t block Hindi movies, there are few theatre show Hindi movies.
Encouraging KaRaVe to take law into its own hands will backfire severely. Perhaps one of the Kannadiga family is affected because of the violence directly or indirectly then they know. Once it is started it cannot stop. When you discriminate those jobless, it will create severe law and order problem. Even Kannadigas won’t like it when it occur to them, what they can do is join KaRaVe on vent their frustration which will escalate even further.
When you talk about Kaveri, it is made as a political issue. But all farmers from Karanatak to Tamilnadu are affected. Tamils worship Kaveri. It should be decided based on those depend on the Kaveri water. If Tamil Nadu didn’t produce enough rice and sell to Karnataka, that will increase the price in Karanataka. It should be rememberd to share and gain from it rather than fight it.
Also remember, We do provide electricity to Karnataka. We don’t have any qualms about it like Kannadigas think.
it is sad to see things move in the wrong direction,
best things they can do is:
1) Create a Kannadiga Prachara Saba, and teach/encourage other states to learn Kannada.
2) Make most of the communications in Kannada and English. Always ensure Kannada is there first.
3) Encourage Kannada media, make more awards and ceremonies. if you are generously interested, Arrange special competitions for non-Kannadigas to compete in Literature/competition in kannada lanaguge. Your Kannada probaganda is so poor. I recently come across Keladi Chennamma. I should have known this when I studied about Shivaji? How come it is not in the Shivaji literature ?!
Don’t do:
1) don’t block other state movies, and insist to show Kannada movies in their theatres. What happened to Kannada movie theatre owners? Doesn’t look pathetic to do like this, as if Kannada is a dead language ?
2) Share Kaveri water reasonably. All internet blogging Kannadigas may not realise, but it is sure a lot of poor kannadigas got affected indirectly.
Any way, good luck Kannadigas! we love you. We still remember a beautiful bangalore girls as Bangalore tomotes! no offence huh ? it is complement!
Dear Sir, We would Like to join your’s KRV team.. we are from Mysore City.
I PROUD TO SAY WE ARE KANNADIGA’S.

” Jai Karave “
krv,if it sticks to it agenda,is a good thing to happen to karnataka.But unfortunately,all they seem to be interested in is creating problems for law abiding citizens.nanu kannada ee so called “voratagararu” kintha channagi mathadthini.nanna ha kara mattu ba kara sariyag ide.Force is required most of the times.But recently while coming back from mangalore,these so called activists had blocked the road.My wife was in labour and i was rushing.When asked if i could pass,i was manhandeled and told to pass through tomorrow.I took a 50 km detour and finally reached.One of my friends owns a hotel.He has been asked by KARAVE to pay 5 lacs “Donation” for some upcoming function.He really does not know what to do.Do these thugs really belong to KARAVE,Or is it someone else doing all this in their name.Right now after all these events,me who was a big fan of these people think they are all thugs.bhashe hesaru helkondu real estate,finance,roll call maado janrige readymade goondas sikdange aithu.istalla mathadoke ee website alli comment post maddiddoure ella english vodidare.we cannat close our eyes and lead life.I speak in kannada even if i go to a 5 star hotel and i hate the pseudo intellectuals who are mostly young proffesionals who think they have “made it” in life because they speak english even with their spouses and children!,but i am never rude nor do i beat up a person who cannot speak kannada.Bashe bagge abhimana iruvavaru noorar varshadind idare.20-30 years back kannada films had a better language and songs with poetic,meaningfull lyrics.In fact nowadays films have horrible lyrics and language that has been buchered.There is more to karnataka than ragi mudde,nati koli,”vorata”.It is a very very very beautiful state.go see all of it,your life is sarthaka.
Mr Narayana Gowda is just another GOONDA.He is using KRV to shield his criminal activities.Kannada pride & Indian pride was restored after
SASKEN SOFTWARE CO paid 5.laks to THE GREAT NARAYANA GOWDA few months back.All their agitations starts with dialing media people ends with them being photographed.
KRV is doing good for kannadigas only in Karnataka. I am from mysore and i have seen KRV Mysore doing agitation in day and gets compromised after taking rewards.
HORATAVANU MARATAKI EDABEDI.
KRV is just 5 to 6year old do good for the state please don’t get compromised after receiving bribes for what the vedike does.

Dear all,
I am sorry to blog this…
Some of KRV people are really misbehaving in third grade manner. Recently i shifted to Ittumadu BSK III stage, asusual there was some wall drill work to hang photos and music system, suddenly the neighbour (Umesh) who resides next to my house who was fully drunk and rushed into my house and started screaming like anything by using vulgar words to stop the work, and mentioning that i’m a member of these that and moreover he threatend us like anything and atlast the work was completly stopped. Really i was fedup with that act and felt very bad infront of other neighbours which hurted me a lot. If it happens to your brother, sister, or to your family members itself, How do u feel and react? Is Kannada Rakshana Vedhike is supporting such acts?
IS THIS THE WAY OF BEHAVING WITH NEIGHBOURS??? IF THIS IS THE WAY, THEN HOW WILL???????? THEY SAVE THE COUNTRY?????
Vande Matharam.
In many of Central Malls in bangalore and where ever there in MNCs kannadigas are not employed, but instead they will employ a person who knows kannada but his mother tongue is not kannada.
The Jobs are high profile jobs where in you need high qualification, but for the jobs which can be done by any one who is healthy.
We do understand that we are Indians first and later kannadigas.
So screening of HINDI films and playing of songs in Malls are welcome and appreciated. But in these malls people play songs of other regional languages and that too they do not play kannada songs intentionally.
And the people who work in the malls either do not know kannada language and if they know they do not speak intentionally.
If they come to know the person is kannadiga they give false info and cheat him/her.This is highly intolerable.
THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE SHOWN THE DOOR.
Many Local People are suffering due to unemployment and humiliation.
WE ARE INDIANS FIRST AND THEN KANNADIGAS BUT WE CANNOT TOLERATE DISRESPECT SHOWN TO US.
ALL ARE WELCOME TO THIS STATE, BUT PLEASE SHOW SOME RESPECT TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE BY EMPLOYING LOCAL PEOPLE AND LEARN KANNADA.
Please intimate this information to all Central malls in Karnataka and to all MNCs whereever necessary.
Jai Hind
Jai Karnataka
I fully agree with this. We are Indians first.
Well I am from Andhra Pradesh. Its very much required to learn and respect the local language and local people. Only this way we can make stronger bondages and learn and understand different cultures.
We have to respect Karma Bhoomi and Janmabhoomi. That is only we can stay united in India.
There are increasing incidents of Kannadigas, especially the illiterate people showing aggressive attitude towards outsiders and visitors. This does not serve any purpose, and only instills hatred and dislike.
Hi all,
I don know if I can call myself a Kannada,it has been the language at home,since I live in Hosur in TN,jus an hour form B’lore. As I said i use kannada at home and tamil outside. I hail from an affluent farmer’s family. Friends to all kannadigas and tamils, the issue is water.JUST WATER AND NOTHING ELSE. We are never looked doen upon based on our language.As a matter of fact almost half of our village speaks kannada! Now Hogennakkal(or Oggenakkal!)water issue is the next one which we don’t want to get politicised. There is no drinking water in the adjoining districts of krishnagiri and dharmapuri. TN Govt has decided to go ahead with the project to prevent increasing incidences of florosis and other diseases that arise due to unsafe water. For politicians like Yeddurappa whom I had a lot of respect(before the Reddy scandal and how he saved his skin by removing a honest woman minister! Shame. She is still remembered here for the selfless work she did to TN during Tsunami. And a district in Nagapatnam named as MYSORE NAGAR as the mysore sabha helped in rehabilitation) please, don make this an issue to fetch fodder for your politics. Remember that LAKHS OF KANNADIGAS too are living here drinking the same water which TAMILS use. I hav never felt an outsider anytime, I love watching tamil films, love the language as i love my mother tongue. I have been taught non-violence but not hatred towards other communities/Language.
Sorry for the long letter, now I am in B’lore working in thoughtworks. Please like minded friends contact …… Awaiting for more replies . Friends, kannadigas are known for hospitality not treachery/vengence. Love kasturi kannada.Dont hate others ra!
As a farmer, I can understand the lives of the poor farmers either side. We are twined by our profession- serving food to the humanity.Pls dont divide us for heavens sake. Instead do something useful like world kannada conference, translating books of girish karnad to other languages etc. Remember kannada is a living language,don make it feel DEAD!!!!!!
if u call ur self INDIAN u dnt need a blog like this……Open up ur mind…MONEY Minded people are mis guiding u……They are becoming richer and richer in every fight we have.In no fight the KRV incharge is never present.Hes sitting back and enjoyin the fun and making money…think people…
i am new to this site, and i am seeing lot of anti-Tamil comments by your esteemed writers. I wonder how we Tamils are responsible for everything that goes against the interest of Karnataka. It was the British who brought the tamils to Bangalore to build the infrastructure of Bangalore right from laying drainage lines, telephone cables, electricity connections, road building, construction of vidhana souda, attara kacheri, railways and setting up business and commerce in the post Independence era. Even today, sizeable IT pros are from TN besides other states like Bengal, Kerala, Andhra and Punjab. One guy is even telling the Tamils to go back to TN. Please stop this hate campaign against Tamils now. Today, Bangalore stands tall in the world thanks to IT exports worth around $20 billion. Our men went deep down the mines of Kolar to dig out gold and have never claimed ownership of mineral wealth of Karnataka. We do not control the government and have no intention to do that. We have no interest in politics of Karnataka for it is the domain of Kannadigas. We are here for progressive and prosperous karnataka and are firmly behind karnataka government on any issues including cauvery. Yes, we agree we held over 60% of real estate wealth in Bangalore post Independence but now own less than 10%.
I read some of the comments above some says that they were brought to bangalore for some works long ago but they have to shame on themselves that they have never made there mind for Kannada…some says that their neighbour is misbehaving with him who is a Kannadiga its not at all a big matter to expose it at all…..
already the time has come, one or the other day KANNADA will also become like SANSKRIT.
Where ever you go in KArnataka you will have theatres running other regional languages films than the Kannada film. Some of the local buses also bear the wordings of other regional languages.Stillll many more more easy theings are made available for non Kannadigas.. Some hotels,dhabas bear the tamil,malayalam many other languages its should be broken and thrown out.its more than enough if it contains KAnnada and english.MAINLY we are also responsible for the ruin of our own language
i am feeling pity for my friend anandkumar. He thinks only kannadigas are exploited in their state. Should I say, that the most business in Coimbatore are dominated by Andhra Naidus? For the namesake only Tamil Industry comprises of few Tamilians. The industry is dominated by actors who speaks malayalam, Telugu and Kannada. The overall Tamil industry has a healthy mix of Telugu and Tamil producers. Most department stores and Tea stalls in Chennai and those bordering Kerala are dominated by Malayalis. There is a sizeable kannadigas living in Hosur, Chennai and Coimbatore. In Tamil Nadu, the locals welcome people from every state including Bengal, Punjab and Maharashtra. There are Gujaratis who have big business in TN. But the Tamilians there are not at all complaining. I do not still understand why this allergy towards Tamils in Karnataka. Learn to live together as Indians Anandkumar! I speak kannada with my son, since he has this as second language. I studied completely in New Delhi and had never learnt kannada in any school or institution but i learn’t it self and now I can write and read fluently. There are many like me in Bangalore who being non-kannadigas has taken special liking for this language. I can show you that my parents were founder members of famous kannada koota in Delhi and they were surprised to see many kannadigas were showing less interest in their own language. When kannadigas themselves do not show interest in their own language, what can other communities can do? Besides, i am appalled to see there are so many kannada spelling mistakes in public notice board, which shows such a callousness among those who write in kannada language. Do not try and dramatize the subject instead do some intelligent thinking Mr. Anandkumar.
Jai karnatka mate
I LOVE JAI KARNATAKA
karnataka means one of the best stae in india.therefore people also called as kannadiga.i say that jai karnataka
i love jai karnatka
be as indian help as an indian not state by state…..first let down ..pls KRV ….close u r all shutters….be as an indian …supporters..in india all states is there not only karanatka mind it……
Kannada is losing (if anything), is mostly because of Kanndigaru only.
I am non-Kannadiga by birth, but living in Bangalore, I have picked up Kannada, still all my colleagues don’t talk in Kannada even when they are Kannadigas themselves.
They themselves don’t talk, see or listen Kannada art-literature.
Who is to blame for this?
Blackening someone’s face or punishing theatres showing other language films will solve help in this respect?
It may fetch some some instant publicity for KRV but nothing more than that.
If KRV wants to do something seriously for Kannada, then they should do something constructive in this respect.
Still good that not many in Bangalore at least support & follow KRV.
KRV is undoubtedly the best thing which has happened in our state..but we must first change ourselves. We make the outsiders feel so comfortable by talking in their language. Many ppl from other state might have spent yrs in bangalore but they wont be able to speak a single word in kannada. It is our fault to let go our language. I personally have taught kannada to 2 north indian friends of mine. Whereas the remaining ppl don’t find the need to learn our language because they know that we’ll make then comfortable
how many outsiders speak konkani in goa, tulu in mangalore or kodava in coorg? but those people don’t give much importance to who speaks their language. why kannadigas have to fight for such silly thing. apart from sports i don’t think kannadigas have achieved much in other areas. so we need mentors who train the kannada people to achieve and compete against the outsiders, this process might take another 300 years for it to engrave in the genes of kannadigas, then kannadigas will be ready, and there will be no need of krv. until then Sarojini Maharshi report is the only way out.
I am a third generation Bangalorean. My grandfather’s parents migrated from a village in Marendahalli in Dharmapuri district. There are atleast 50 villages in this district with names ending with Halli. The people here speak Tamil, Kannada & Telugu. Now in TN but ruled by Maharaja of Mysore in the past.
Although my mother tongue is Tamil, i never felt like an outsider in my earlier school & college days. However, in the past 30 years i have seen a concerted effort to discredit Tamilians in Karnataka. Most conversations among Kannadigas about Bangalore will always end up with Tamil bashing. What is their fault? They are dark skinned so can be treated with contempt? They can be used as punching bags whenever Tamilnadu demands Cauvery water?They are poor working class so don’t have money power?
Kannada Activists like KRV are surprisingly less vocal when it comes to issues of conflict with people of other states but when it comes to TN, they seem to become very active and violent.
However this has helped a lot of other communities like Biharis, Bengalis, Andhras, Keralites, North Indians etc to settle comfortably in Bangalore. Atleast now Tamilians don’t have to hear the accusation that they constitute 30 % of Bangalore’s population. The population of Bangalore has grown by 100 % in the last 20 years and Tamilians now constitute less than 15 %. So let’s hope an end to this Tamil bashing from now on.
Sridhar
Cauvery issue: Karntaka’s fault? This is how I will put it. No doubt, TN used its muscle during madras presidency days to draft the tribunal in its favor. At a time when Karnataka is facing drought in many districts, TN’s unfair demand only shows its selfishness and arrogance. Interestingly, where is the leadership in Karnataka to take forward the tribunal issue and assert for re-drafting of the whole issue? Today, Karnataka has every right to ask its rightful share. Bangalore is an international city and requires drinking water for its growing stature. On the other hand, the resource belonging to another state cannot be demanded on the basis of natural laws. Can we ask Arab nations to give us Oil free since it is free gift of nature? TN farmer’s may have taken the initiative in utilizing the river since ancient times, but that does not mean for ever they can look towards the same resource without understanding that there are people living on the other side of the border. Our leaders are fighting among ourselves. Our CM is not allowed to function. Each one is pulling each other’s leg. In these situations, Karnataka may not be able to put forward their case effectively. Interestingly, KRV seems to be active only in anti-Tamil propaganda (stopping the cable channels beaming tamil programs, screening of Tamil movies). This kind of agitation will not make our leaders wake up, KRV need to pressurize the local government to take strong initiative to take forward the cause of local people. I always ask this when Bellary’s mine were looted and almost 90% of the 2 lac crore mine wealth flew out of the state and major part landed in neighbouring state, why there was no noise or agitation on this. This is a wealth we lost completely not recoverable. Cauvery water at least can be expected to be replenished with good rain at any point of time. Karnataka Rakshan Vedike has to truly defend the wealth and property of Karnataka not keep on targeting the Tamils. A typical tamilian in the state is only contributing to the state not plundering the wealth of the state. A change of strategy and approach can bring effective results. KRV should now begin to do so. This surely is NOT AN EASY TASK.
