Public sentiment toward the legislation is divided and generally skeptical, with many expressing concerns about its implications for free speech and its potential misuse for political gain. Critics argue that the focus on religious conflict detracts from pressing societal issues like poverty and infrastructure. There is also a call for unity over divisive politics, with some acknowledging the necessity of addressing misinformation while remaining wary of government overreach.

Granted, there is a genuine concern. But beating up people for that is still not cool!

I'm from Kerala, migrant workers from Bengal and  UP survive exclusively on hindi. No one is beating anyone up for not speaking Malayalam.

I just don’t understand the fascination with victim mentality. 

Let me be brutally honest, if you can beat up people and throw racial slurs without feeling an iota of shame, then you will do that no matter what. 

These kind of post using some random incidents to justify or try to present “other side” is just pathetic attempt. Being arrogant and putting down others if they dont speak your language ( be it hindi or kannada or any other language) is never justified.

The people didn't seem to have problems with urbanization when tech parks were opening up in village areas, sky rocketing the land prices. Most of the same people were happy with the increasing rents and prices. Many went from rags to riches. 

They blamed North Indians for the recent floods. Seriously? Who built houses on drains to earn more? The point I am trying to make is that it is very easy to point at others (figuratively and literally). 

Imagine if all the people (read "outsiders") were to leave Bengaluru. All those areas will become ghost towns. Many shops will lose a lot of their customers and sales. Home owners lose out on rental income, transportation sector will shrink to a minimum.

Many of the " Locals" of Bengaluru have shifted here from nearby towns because of the opportunities it provides. And now the people harass the same opportunities. 

With the outsiders gone, they will now be the outsiders. And the story will continue.

kevivm

i am a sardar born and raised in the south and will agree to the fact that karnataka is way more open to outsiders over other states.

But that is changing coz locals are letting goons dictate what the Kannada culture should be.

SamuraiSardar5

So your point is that the hatred is justified because according to you Kerala,hydbd and TN are even worse and more unwelcoming than Bangalore.

ahmedubil

These days, I don't give a fuck about who's supposed to learn what language. I'm a kannadiga. If I'm with my Kannadiga friends I'll be like "Hu maga, kolaku northie galu". If I'm with my North Indian colleagues, I'll be like "Haan yaar, Bangalore aajkal bohot buri haalat mein hai". Recently switched to a team where majority are Tamilians. I've started to learn Tamil. I'll change my colour according to the situation. I'll do whatever I need to do to survive. False pride in a language or culture ain't gonna pay my bills

In Kerala if you speak in Hindi, most of them understand it. Especially now as Kerala is filled with Bengalis. There are Bengalis working in Railway Canteens in Kerala as well who doesn't know the name of the food they are serving. There has never been an instance where they were beaten up for not knowing Malayalam.

In Tamil Nadu it's difficult to speak in Hindi as most of them don't know it. You can still adjust with a little bit of Malyalam and Tamil mixed. Again I have not heard or come across an instance where there was a fight because of not knowing the native language. 

Never Been to Andhra or Telangana so don't know the situation there. 

So I don't completely agree with OP about other states but respecting the Language and Culture of the state that you are residing in is a must. I believe that hence I learnt to converse in these languages.

I was threatened and pushed out of a moving bus in Bangalore when I was discussing ease of learning English Vs Kannada. It happened a decade back but I'm still stunned. I'll never visit Karnataka.

neosam84

Perfectly makes sense. But this does not mean you start beating up underprivileged people trying to make their ends meet.

atomar7

In Tamilnadu no one beats you if you can't speak Tamil. If someone does that, they can be sure to get their ass whooped by the police.

Pam_Schrute

I agree with your status quo... But your cause didn't really connect with the outcomes. Let's say people are moving into your area, but even after years, they are not learning your language. That's a problem? Yes, it may be for the localites. Is it enough to develop hate? Absolutely fucking not. Could you connect the dots for me?
I have been in Nepali speaking, punjabi speaking, Bengali speaking groups and on multiple occasions I felt left out because they randomly start conversing in their own language but hate is very far from the feeling you get in such situations.

Aggravating-Package3

The biggest lol in the above post is that entire north speaks Hindi. Sure they understand Hindi but go to any state and the language changes every 50KM.  


There is urbanization happening in Gujarat, NCR also. Yet we only hear such violent crimes in our namma Banglore only.  


We must acknowledge that politicians always do us vs them. The least we can do is vow not to support such politicians. Yes I am talking about your favorite political party.

treatWithKindness

Downvotes incoming. 
We are in an age where globalization has taken over. Bengaluru (back then Bangalore) had played a major role in boosting the Indian economy and aptly earned the silicon city title and now the startup capital. See industrialization has played a major role. If the Karnataka government back then chose to not open up there would have been almost no great development. So credit to the government to opening up. 

Now that Karnataka is a hub, a lot of companies started opening up their branch here and also setting up. So it is obvious these companies need skilled labor. It is obvious they are going to look out for labors pan India. It is obvious a lot of people come in from different parts of the country. 

Now when there is a surge of incoming population the existing ones always have the feeling that they have extended a part of them to outsiders. Which is a fair school of thought. Even developed countries like USA, Australia have/still has the exact same mentality when Indians move there and take up their jobs.

So, this is a very primal territorial behavior. Not just humans but animals as well. But there's a difference between humans and animals. Humans are a lot more intelligent. Humans can choose to be civil. Unfortunately there are certain bad apples who resort to crude measures. 

But for the better, we are in 2023 now. India as a whole has come along so ahead. We are amongst the top economies in the world. We have moved past the stage where language is a barrier. It is sad to see such fights popping up in this beautiful city. Yes, local natives can expect outsiders to learn the local language but no one has the right to pick up a fight to prove a point right? Instead teach a couple of words for basic communication why pick a fight? (this is intended only to the bad apples)

In my experience, Hyderabad is one of the only metro hubs that has understood that its non-local population that doesn't speak the local language has its reasons - the sheer lack of its utility when English is ubiquitous in offices, and the dominance of the common language in private friend groups. Language chauvinists in Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai are too egoistic to accept that non-locals keep their economy running, and have not made their peace with their rational disregard for the local language.

TheRealYVT

Some my family who are originally from Kerala but have lived in KA for many decades, have the same sentiment as other “locals” do. They have seen their neighborhoods gentrify and see a moving population of tenants who have no connect with the area or the city.

Garbage gets thrown in the streets, visitors park wherever they want and loud birthday, late-night parties that are an absolute nuisance to the neighborhood. They have zero interest in the wellbeing of the area.

It’s almost like they all treat the neighborhood like a hotel - come and go as you wish while someone else cleans up the mess.

thrSedec44070maksup

Your opinions seem to contradict themselves.  You say kannadigas as the most liberal, but you dont want the political views of the neighbouring states being shared here and it pisses you off.  

If you go to Kerala, you will rarely find anyone shouting at you or beating you up for speaking hindi or English. There is a sizable population of northern blue collared labours in kerala right now. The business owners over there have started learning hindi so that they can converse easily with their staff. 

If your mallu friends are asking you to learn a bit of Malayalam it's because you can share in their jokes as most of them don't translate well to other languages.  Most of the mallus i know here speak fluent kannada and tamil.. 

There is no reasoning behind the violence against outsiders... The fact that you are trying to find reasons just makes it worse.

ss4223

Locals beating non locals while the politicians, bureaucrats and the rich laugh their way to the bank. 
You never hear a rich non local getting beaten up or a rich local beating a non local? Why ?
Because they both speak the language of money, which has no states and no borders.
Unfortunately, the non-thinking people of the country can be fooled into thinking it's someone else's fault while the real crooks take money no matter where it comes from. There's no redemption until free thinking and questioning of authority becomes the norm.

no_frills_yo

I agree that majority of the Kannadiga are very generous and outgoing, but students and people working in offices are facing in day in and day out. I mean kids are being thought at homes to segregate a kannadiga and a non-kannadiga. Where does this end my friend? There are many videos coming out on Facebook where people wear the kannada flags and vandalize common working people, these people came here for their livelihood. Even us who were born and brought up here for many years are facing that issue now. We are feeling isolated in our own home town because we are not kannadigas. I am also not a so called ‘northie’ my friend

My aunt was scolded by a teen on the road for not knowing kannada! Where does this end? The language crazyness has taken over aspects of young and the old, rich and poor, human and inhuman.

All the Hindi speaking guys who are good at English still ask Hindi aati hai? Artha aguthe adre answer maadok agalla . Either you learn kannada or learn English. I can't learn to speak Hindi for your sake.

nara117

Multiple things can be (and are) true:

* It is bad to force immigrants to learn your language.

* It is important to try to speak the local language if you're looking to make a new city your home.

* It is unfair to expect locals to automatically know your language when you don't know theirs.

Linguistic chauvinism is a problem. In India, language (and often Hindi) imposition also is. Neither justifies the other. 

In my experience, the vast majority of Kannadigas only expect that you try to speak the language; no one expects that you speak it well. Many of the folks here know either Hindi or English, and if you try, they do too. There is nothing wrong with starting a conversation in Kannada and then losing your way and switching languages later.

No one is under any obligation to try, and that goes both ways; commerce will demand that some conversations still get conducted only in the language of your preference, but that cannot (and does not) mandate that that is welcomed.

Karnataka also unfortunately has its fair share of idiots who use violence to deal with resentment. Condemn, protest, jail and root out the violence, but understand the reason for the underlying resentment.

--------------------

Editing to add: And the chauvinists can also get bent - there is no favour you're doing our language by forcing someone to speak it, and bullying a migrant worker who's trying to do an honest job to make ends meet does not make you a saviour of your language.

Use your pride productively to help someone who's struggling to learn the language instead of driving people further away from it.

Electrophotographic

The problem is on both sides.

Forcing someone to learn a language just because they are settled in Bangalore is just bigotry. Accept it. The migrants, the waiters from ne, the north indian traders they all go through casual racism each day. Do you think someone bats an eye? Absolutely no.

If you are making a hostile environment for the outsiders no one will care to learn your culture. 

Having said that: The educated Noth indians who come here for jobs. They should be more open to learn a new culture and adjust with the locals.

This incident happened to me while i was having a meeting . A  guy from Delhi just assumed and started conversing in hindi even there were few other guys from TN, Kerela and Bangalore. This mentality has to change. 

Both the localites and the outsiders should be respectful towards each other. Bangalore has lost some of the culture amidst this tech boom but it surely has gained a lot.

Fluid_Clothes8777

My personal opinion it's not the issue of "Not speaking Kanada" that would piss off a Kanadiga it's the not knowing Kanada and being aragont about it, that's like crossing limits and asking for trouble 

My personal experience 20 years back lost in a remote location inside the the Kadubeesana Halli I tried to convey in my broken Kannada and half English to a provision shop owner lady in her mid 40s in what looked like a village back then / I got clear directions and assurance in English every police man woman I have interacted with in those days had helped

I have seen fuckers who show aragonce to simple working men and women like vegetable vendors provison store owners,Hindi me Batkaro , when these guys are attempting to communicate and what ever form and shape they can, why the f should they choose to be   disrepectful  

Show decency you will be helped / respected every where in Karnataka show arrogance you will get your arrogance regulated

If you do not respect our culture, we will beat the shit out  of you, that's our culture.

gubenilekani

Malayali, been here for 7 years now. Haven’t faced any issues with not being able to speak kannada properly. Just don’t assume everyone would know Hindi. If someone is not able to speak in Hindi, be respectful and try to use some common kannada words or sign language. A small smile and a little respect goes a long way in having a peaceful life.

anoopxtreem123

Bro, a lot of north indians are shifting to Noida/ Gurgaon just to avoid this victim blaming... Bangalore's key asset has always been its weather, but if people start shifting back from Bangalore, what value would this asset have anyway?

This victim blaming has taken place in Mumbai also where Bihari autowallahs were beaten by shiv sena guys and thakre had a movement against south Indians too ( or as he called them " lungi wallah" or " Madarasis"... This victim blami or justifying violence against people wasn't acceptable then and is not acceptable now.

confusedaatma_reddit

I get looked down upon for speaking Kannada in certain shops and localities in Bangalore, sad state of affairs what Blr has become for localites.

thoughtfulbunny

Malayali Teen here

Ofc i really can’t say i am actually a malayali at this point, not cuz idk the language or anything. But im more of Bangalore based. I have been in this place for almost my entire life and im still grateful to my dad for having a job at this place. And in my pov i have seen a lot of people who have lived same life as me, but still refuse to learn kannada, which pisses my ass off(like bro, you just gotta learn a language. How tf is that hard?) and the main thing about this is majority of them are like this. Only 5% of the people ik(who are from different states and lived here their entire life) actually tried to learn/are some what communicable/ can communicate without difficulty. It does piss me off to see this peeps not tryna learn a single language. I do understand the frustration of kannadigas who beat the shit off of these people, but there’s no point of it. “Yaake bro time waste?”

I lived in Bangalore for roughly a year for a project. I faced this at least on 3 occasions. I had sense to not get physical and left the city as soon as possible. Local people are incredibly hostile

People acting like these people getting beaten up are always complete innocents. I've seen these situations unfold and usually the "victim" is acting outside the norms of locally accepted behavior. Talking trash in Hindi and being disrespectful.

Bengaluru received 60 lakh population last decade  
  
in which only 15 lakh is from other districts.

  
demographics and political representation loss is a huge threat  
  
delimitation will further kill us politically  
  
  
  
45 lakh population is like 6-8% of our state  
  
but now diversity is costing us our demographics , representation and native.

This is horrible news. But in my experience, especially at work, I’ve seen people being more open to learning Kannada. In fact my North Indian coworkers take initiative and note down Kannada words and their translations in english. But I agree with people not being open to learning the local language in college, I’ve seen that pattern and it’s kinda backward IMO. It’s cool to know an international language like Japanese/Spanish/German but people are not open to learning their own local languages?

harshi_marathe

Lol Kerala is actually one of the most welcoming state. Yes there will be some idiots here and there but most people will help you regardless of your language or religion or whatever it is.

Unknownforyou143

So I’m a hard core kannadiga and grew up in an environment where everybody was a transplant.  I had friends who we Tamilian, Malayalee’s and Bengalis.  We didn’t really see a lot of ethnicity  or language issues. 
But I have sense increased sense of kannadiga identity in the last 10 odd years.  My observations:

1. In Previous migrations people adapted the city as theirs and blended in.  Even if not with language but in culture and customs. No on imposes their identity on local population.  

2. The volume of migration was still small compared to local population.  Now I think kannadiga population is in minority in lots of pockets. 

3. Hindi as a language. While we are learnt Hindi was a national language.  Down south this was just a theory.  Personally I really don’t see Hindi as unifying language and it really userps the local identity.  Imposing this both politically and in behaviour is actually annoying and ticks a lot of people off.  As kannadiga I thrilled if u can speak Kannada but I am ok if you speak to me in English / Telugu / Tamil / Hindi.  But don’t push me to speak your language.  


So what makes Bangalore great is it’s diversity.  Violence is definitely not the answer.   we want people to co own this city.  Let’s us be the way we are and we will welcome you.  Please don’t make us change to your context.

jbreezeai

Surely there are two sides to every story, and nobody beats up anybody for just not knowing the local language.

existential-grimlock

Another curious question , is it mostly northies only or do tamils also face these issues 😞?i think it’s harder for us as many don’t know Hindi also 🙁

lungicoder124

You say Hyd is an exception, but I feel like BLR has more non-locals than Hyd. In many places in Bangalore, I hear just Hindi. In my office here, hardly anyone knows Kannada. But in Hyd, I haven't see this situation anywhere except old city. 

Just see both subs, in hyd sub I find many comments in Telugu, but here Kannada comments are so rare.

This aside, I agree with your view.

Nenu_unnanu_kada

I can't even finish my own syllabus. I appreciate Karnataka because like you said, it didn't othered me like the Tamils &amp; the Malyalis. This beating up phenomena is new and I don't think healthy in the long run. I'm really appreciative of Karnataka &amp; Bangalore. If I just speak in English, will I be beaten up? I've started doing that in the northern states as well.

raving_electron

I'm a Kannadiga. One of the major important factors that isn't talked about often is the failure of consecutive state govts to improve the rest of Karnataka other than Bengaluru and to some extent Mysuru. 

There's a lot of bitterness in North Karnataka because it is often ignored and there's no significant effort from any govt to bring any industries or any infrastructure there. Guess where the majority of kannadigas live? Outside of metro cities just like any other state.

Also compared to other states like Tamilnadu and Andhra/Telangana where there's importance placed on bringing manufacturing jobs other than IT. Chennai has a lot of auto industries and Hyderabad has a lot of pharmaceutical industries. These jobs aren't highly technical so they hire locally. You bet a good mix of jobs this way, while we just masturbate to the thought of Bengaluru being such a major IT hub without concentrating on anything else.

When you combine this major issue with the refusal of a few people to assimilage our language in their day to day lives, you get racism, misdirected hate and bigotry. Mark my words, this will only get worse. Political parties have already found ways to take advantage of this by saying we'll impose quotas for kannadigas for IT industry. If they did their jobs and diversified our state, then we wouldn't have had this issue in the first place.

PheonixPros

Well put together. This is exactly wht i hve been thinking and trying to explain. As i said in other post, i have frnds who are born and bred here put still stutter to put a word in their mouth. The situation has been so extreme that we have to learn those languages for our sake, which they swear to deny to put some effort atleast. Engineering colleges are filled with mallus, shops run by Rajasthan's. Atleast we can get through day to day since we knw bit of Hindi and English but it's not fair on elderly beings and my parents in fact.

What shit, I've been to Chennai and I've had no problems with Hindi, and people who didn't understand Hindi or English, we just spoke with gestures no one getting angry or pissed.

crazyfreak316

Oh so now I'm in Bangalore, so I've to learn their language? 5 months later I'm going to be in Punjab, so I've to learn their language? Sooner or later, we all need to learn all the different languages in India or I guess we aren't welcome there 🥲

But wait, no I don't need to learn Punjabi because most states don't shove their culture onto others. You can speak in hindi, in english, in tooti-footi Punjabi for God's sake but they won't beat you for this.

For my 10 months or so experience in Bangalore, I've seen that the locals have created this weird uncalled hatred for all "OUTSIDERS WHO CAN'T SPEAK OR ARE WILLING TO LEARN OUR LANGUAGE".

dank_naruto

Whatever the reasons and insights might be nothing justifies violence. Years ago in Mumbai there was politically motivated violence against South Indians especially those belonging to the Shetty/bunts community.

The Bunts community hit back big time in many ways. Mumbai being a melting pot and Mumbaikars generally being unbothered by stupid political motivations in general didn’t support the absurdness. Hopefully people in Bangalore also strongly condemn this crap.

If there are North Indians in Bangalore, there is a reason for it. You cannot expect them to start speaking in Kannada overnight. When similar incidences happen to Indians abroad we are mortified but here’s us doing the same rubbish in our own country. It’s shameful.

BTW I’m a Kannadiga

snailycaily

These are some poor quality excuses to explain why outsiders are beaten up for not knowing the language.

axl_ros

Asking the local people to learn Hindi is a very good start for all the problems.

I'm a Mallu and lived most of my life in Tamilnadu. Never had any bad experiences. Nor have I seen locals being hostile towards outsiders. Tamils are generally very polite and respectful. Of course,  they are proud and will take offense if you disrespect. But I've never seen hostility and rudeness just because someone can't speak Tamil. 
    
          Mallus generally don't give a fuck about anything lol . Just don't tell us not to eat beef. Outsiders are not abused in Kerala. We generally do not care about your religion, language or sex. 

      Only ever seen people being offended for not asking directions in the local language in Bangalore. I've lived in Bangalore for a couple of years. First thing I remember was asking the conductor of a bus if it'll go somewhere and him ignoring me. Don't tell me he didn't understand what I said. I'm sure he's educated enough to understand "will it go". 

     I've seen the same attitude from others as well. The auto drivers, the cab drivers and the shopkeepers etc.  Surprisingly, guys from North Karnataka, who are also here for work or for entrance coaching don't act like this. 

       I see that a lot of people say that this behavior is caused by unbridled Kannada pride. I beg to differ. I believe it is jealousy. And that too the stupid kind. I kind of feel that the working class in Bangalore feels that all these outsiders are coming in and reaping in all the cash, earning millions while they, the children of the soil have to toil for a pittance. 
     
                 But the truth of the matter is that, when I was at Bangalore, I was being paid 14k a month to do night shifts working at customer support, listening to abuses and insults  on call from jio customers. 6 days work, sometimes even longer since there are no fixed offs. If any of the locals actually wanted to trade jobs, I would have happily obliged lol. Compared to that, being a cabbie sounds like a dream. To people who say, we don't put in the effort to learn the language, when am I supposed to do that? At night, while I worked or in the day, while I slept? And how are we supposed to learn it? From whom? From the same hostile and rude guys who hate you for not knowing the language? 
   
             If you actually want people to learn your language and culture, isn't it better to be friendly and kind instead of assaulting them? If you really care about your language so much, why don't you befriend a migrant worker and help him/her learn the language? 
           But if you can't help, at least stop harassing people. Life is a struggle for a lot of us as it is.

Consistent_Fall1378

Don't want this to sound comical. But there were places where tulu was commonly spoken and now in the recent years there's suddenly been an influx of kannada speaking people. How the hell did a tulu dominant locality become kannada major now? It's very inconvenient that i now have to resort to hindi Or english.

Mundane-Original-335

honestly, man, it's just rural population and just too much of pride in kannada.

Crimson_Eagle7258

I’ve lived here for 25 plus years too I’ll try to narrate a few incidents:

1. A lot of my friends from other states who have lived here for 5 years plus speak basic Kannada. IMO that’s enough unless you settle long time, in that case the kids learn the local language and the mix happens.

2. NCR folks think they still live in NCR and bring the same attitude and pick fights for no reason. Not all of them but yea many do. I’ve stepped in to get my friends out of trouble and I’ve also been the one who trashed a few NCR buggers who think it’s ok to use BC MC in Bangalore.

3. Government jobs like SBI, if you don’t know the language you will get a tough time for sure. My parents don’t speak Hindi and I’ve had the displeasure to warn a lot of SBI officials to speak in English or else they won’t survive here.

4. The worst case I’ve seen in a young woman friend who drove in the wrong direction and hit a car, then proceeded to call the local guy a Maderchod. She got slapped there and her scooty was trashed. The cops had to come take both parties to station. She called me for her help when I went there the other guy just said don’t involve in this your friend is not welcome here anymore. She had to quit and move out basically.

5. Eve teasing by these UP and Bihari workers near Indranagar. I’ve personally beaten up a few and taken to the police station.

Moral of the stories, stay friendly and adjust to the environment and society you stay in or else the locals will beat the shizz out of you. Unless you are Europeans and the other party is Native Americans.

So happy to see educated Indians fighting over language. Divide and rule is really working out here, Doesn't it?

Krisvenu

I agree with the post that violence is not answer to anything.

&gt;While North India has Hindi in common between everyone in South we really don't. 

One thing you have to understand on how Hindi became common language in Northern parts of India. Hindi became dominant and common linking in North by hindi imposition. The other North Indian languages were marginalized and hindi was forced as official state language or forced as third language in schools and lies were spread in school textbook that hindi is national language by national parties which generated inferiority complex among non hindi speakers of North India.

South India was much resistant to all above things, hence   hindi does not serve as linking language here.

ani996

I have met hundreds of people from Karnataka, who have settled in my state.. their kids born, brought up here… took the govt and bank job( like OP stated.. I too had to go with my grandparents to the bank coz the bank person from Karnataka didn’t speak our language.. and you don’t hear us about complaining or even getting frustrated about it) none of them ever learnt a single word of our language.. and guess what we r okay with it. and we happily spoke in Hindi or English whichever they felt comfortable in... Language is a mode to communicate with others and someone purposefully out of spite pretending to not understand a language doesn’t mean you are honouring your culture or roots. It’s just shows how petty you are!!

greenhairedmadness

OP the north has many languages. Hindi l, Bengali, gujrati, bhojpuri, maghi, nepali, oriya, Bihar itself has 4 regional langauge. We just converse in Hindi so that day to day life goes easy.

luckyjelly

Urm… there is more Hindi spoken in Kerala than probably whole of north India at this point. 
I see more north Indian labourers than actual malayalis in Kerala. 
Anyway I get your point. But you are not gonna beat up people and convince them to leave. One day you beat up the wrong person, might pay with your life or your family’s.

Appande-andi

Imposition of an alien tongue upon majority of locals will always have repercussions. The problem isn't all migrants. Just one specific set who misbehave with locals. And somehow the umpteen examples of that misbehavior are never factored into the discussion while people who perpetuate such misbehavior on a day in day out basis are playing victims when they finally face repercussions. 

When anyone migrates to any other place, basic courtesy demands that you respect that place and it's language and culture. If you are hell bent on turning it into a replica of your own home state and excluding locals from banks, public places, comic con etc by imposing an alien tongue and culture upon those who have deep roots in that place, you can't complain if the locals have enough of you.

jc2193

When i came to Bengaluru i genuinely wanted to learn Kannada because i wanted to fit myself in with locals. But with my college schedule it's really difficult for me to learn Kannada :')

Thelazytimelord257

Tons of straw man argument from folks here saying Op justifies violence. He does not, he is pointing to the actual conflict that is brewing. The minimum we can do is acknowledge it.

I think most northies think it’s cool to say I don’t know kannad . Benchod don’t we southerners learn a little Hindi when we travel north but you won’t eh ?

KoranguBudhi

If you are leaving in a place which has a language not as your mother tongue pls learn it and start to communicate with locals of that place in local language. Thats it

Cute_Weakness_7439

Also when we go to study at any European country, studying their language is a part of the curriculum, because we are going to their country. I don’t see why we can’t apply the same logic here for work. In fact, we should apply it for all places that one migrates to. Respect their culture and learn their language. Here a lot of people take that for granted.

Plant-basedCannibal

My family hails from Udupi region.

My dad went to Bombay in 1975 not knowing a word of Hindi or Marathi.

Within a few years he learnt Hindi, could understand basic Marathi and even speak it, and even speaks Gujarati. 

I'm not condoning violence. But if you live in certain place, be it any place in the world, for a couple of years, fucking learn the basics of the local language at least.

Has she been granted bail?
There is no credible incitation of Riot....
If we members of publicstart to react on some if their scholars on WaQf owning India, or their literate opinion on idol worship or flat earth theory, there will be one ...
Sorry KP.

But literal hate speech against Hinduism is called freedom of speech 🤷🏻‍♀️

SamayaSighs

Shameful. She made fun of Hinduism as well, nobody cared.
India really doesn’t have freedom of speech.
Only minority appeasement on institutional level.

soon we'll have immigrant government in WB- with Bangladeshi and Rohingyas handling home, education, transportation, health ministries under Pishi-Bhaipo duo, pvt engineering colleges to have 50% minority students, Madrasa preacher's getting Phd, hell even a madrasa tech University, fatwas being legal framework, scams will be commonly legalised business practice not breaking news. 
The left will keep protesting on silly issues of why India is striking Pak, why AI should be banned, why 

the BJP will be busy with Ram Navami being celebrated, how to remain the leading opposition by poaching TMC leaders and highlighting national achievements!!

Congress as usual will stay buried deep beneath the tomb of Feroze Gandhi, in their own delulu of RaGa becoming PM, and how PrGa looks 75% like her grandma, and their nostalgic graveyard of Nehruvian era.

With turbulent borders and unstable neighborhood.

The State and the city will rot and decay like the lost city of Atlantis.

Freedom of speech is a one way street it seems

They have problem with Prostitution where women is renting her body for limited time but they are perfectly fine with sex slaves that their prophet traded, kept and even made. It’s just boggles one’s mind how can you get your moral Compass so wrong

Can't expect much from West bengal, too much wokeness has made the state on the verge of becoming bangladesh.

This arrest is being pointed out. Will anyone talk about release of Brij Bhushan? Unfortunately arresting for hate speech is a big crime but letting go of multiple rapists outside jail is great !! 👏

Kam se kam jitna din munawwar jail me raha, utna to isko jail me rakhna hi chahiye. Freedom of speech hai to sab pe equally lagao yaar. Kya selective laga rahe ho.

Do al-taqiya somewhere else. 

&gt; Classical Muslim jurists commonly held that nothing is worse than becoming a disbeliever after being a Muslim. According to Mohamed S. El-Awa, “the common view among Muslim jurists … is that apostasy from Islam is a crime for which the death penalty is prescribed”.
