According to KH Kannada language is born out of Tamil language..which is wrong statement .. If tomorrow someone says Hindi born out of Punjabi or vice-versa..surely no one is going to take that kind of statement quietly..

Hopefully KH mindful aage se...

There are plenty of North Indians in Bangalore. Some of whom lorde it over the locals and demand that they speak Hindi in their hometown because it's the 'national language' which it's not. Arrogant and entitled . The locals retaliate with Kannadiga pride and hostility towards Northies. There's friction over Hindi being forced on non Hindi speaking people under the guise of the three language policy. Which rekindled the Dravida vs Northie thing. Marathi vs Hindi is back on too in Mumbai. Kamal decided to butt in with the Tamil is the oldest language thing.

Which is funny because he needs to stop misspelling his name first. His name is Kamalahaasan which is one word. It means one whose smile is as pretty as a lotus in bloom. Its not ' Kamal Huss-n. '

From what I have seen, people in metro or in general don't respect locals & their culture. They try to bully the locals. Somehow they feel superior in knowing a foreign English language while ridiculing the language of the land. They even refuse to learn and threaten and sometimes physically assault too when reminded. Locals are bound to feel angry and retaliate. What's the shame in respecting the culture where you live and earn your livelihood?
