The article is full of bull shit and i pitty the editor who allows such distorted facts. There was no f all riots in bangalore in 1992 . Please do not terrorise people and create division amoundg people. I lived in bangalore in 1992 . There was this news that one of the greatest and most loved kannadiga of all times was kidnapped and people were shcked and ran to streets. emotions ran high for a day and returned to normalcy by the afternoon of the next day. I dont thing any thing more than the mumbai rains hit the city . Yes there was a very tense atmosphere . Cars Autos and few shops were belted stonned. Before or after that i dont think there was any harrasment by kannadigas on any sect of the population. I am sure this time the BJP is trying some 3rd rate polictics to instigate. there will be no impact of any sort . unless the media and politicians plan dirty. there is no undercurrent or kanndiga movement in karnataka who can mobile a more than a few hundered people to all these non violent and intolerant ways. This is the most friendly people in this nation . And thats why it continues to be the most sought after city in india when people want to work . I have been here as a non kannadiaga. So please dont tarnish these popple like monsters !

why blame bjp? !! I was in blore when rajkumar died and saw the rampage myself. The place is hell and its getting worse. Kannadigas have as big ego as tamilians.
Save kannada, dont speak hindi, and the one who speak break his nose. These are the only things which you can see in bangalore. high prices are meant for non-kannadigas. This is my personal exp so I left bangalore. Nobody wants to live in terror or to be treated as second citizen. Neither I'm welcomed nor I wish to go there.
When there is an issue regarding a state, regardless of truth the politicians use anti-social elements to fight for their state and thus try to get a place in the voter's heart. This scenario happens both in Karnataka and Tamilnadu. No need to hype it as a news, because very educated individual in this country are aware of these gimmicks. Im sure these ballot centric riots will never help the politicians in future. These kind of news also will not find any space anywhere, in the coming days.

Sir please dont bul shit , Vattal Nagaraj dont have more than 5000 people following him
I am not writing this message as a tamil but as an Indian. India is a diverse country and everyone is free to live and work anywhere. There are millions of tamils who live in Mysore and Bangalore. You cant forget Salem and Dharmapuri the border districts of TN-Kar have millions of Kannadigas. In fact in Salem town the population is split 50/50. In Chennai 30% of the population is telugu, 5-8% marwaris, 5-8% malayalees and various other communities. People say Chennai is not cosmopolitan but its only a misconception. Millions of Indians have migrated to different parts of the country regardless of language, religion or communities. It is the true spirit of India and as Gandhi had said we should live as an example to the world. Politicians have run out of ideas and are using son of the soil card to get votes. This is creating violence in Maharashtra and now in Karnataka. If they manage to win votes then every political party in India will start playing the son of the soil card and divide people. Who is a localite in India? From kashmir to Kanyakumai and Gujrat to Nagaland it belongs to all Indians. Every indian is a localite anywhere in India. Dont fall prey to political games of politicians to capture power. Soon there will be 30 coutries within India which is very dangerous to all our lives. With regards to this Hogenakal issue, the river crosses the karnataka border and the dam is built inside the TN state. If the water flows from TN to Karnataka then it is wrong.

Hello Natesh, See we need to understand local sentiments. If they will get ignored in progress , there will be riots. it's everybody duty to understand local people. It can not be digest on the name of India is one country and we are having freedom. This law is not enough to keep country united. People like us when we go to other places we must not give advantage to our own state people but to everyone and prefer local people so there will not be any problem. If we are Indian we should not have problem. Even I seen General managers, top govt officials doing regional bias.. It's not only politicians.... So we must mingal with local people.....This is good solution....

Well said. The concept of kannadigas, tamilians, naharashtrians etc... is a clear political divide & rule concept for votes. Lets be united as Indians.

This scenario is a pure political stir created by politicians on linguistic divide & rule among us. All these dramas are by politicians to ensure that they win the next elections. So lets not be carried away by these political dramas. First of all we should forget if we are tamilians or kannadigas or maharashtrians... We are Indians. Next we are human beings with rich Indian Culture. Lets be united & keep away from these cheap tricks. UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL !!!

Dear Mr.Natesh, Pls understand and analyse the problem where it lies. It is the CM of a responsible state like TN , who is making very kiddish and irresponsible statements and there by provoke the sentiments of the Kannadigas. For his that experiance , one can analyse what will be his intensions.Tell from your heart being keep aside you being a TAMILIAN, think like a INDIAN, is his moves are defendable? You say that many Kannadigas also live in TN , but you appriciate the understandings of Kannadigas, they never put forth and force thier own Kannada culture or Language to be run in forefront, but where as in Bangalore/Karnataka One can watch freely TAMIL movies, TAMIL Hoardings , TAMIL Cable Channels in prime band.Can you just show me a same to be reciprocated in TAMIL NADU? its my own experiance that, couple of times when i went to TN on trip in my CAR with KA registration number , co-drivers on TN road and Police without any reason harrased me , by come in front or stop without reason !!! how narrow minded they are!! SO, i feel People of TN in broad need to get education properly on how to live in a REPUBLICAN country like INDIA. If possible i advice people like you to take care of that. Even today many techies from TN got sheltered in Bangalore and living Happily...ask all there opinion, why are not they get proper Jobs in TN ???
I think unnecessarily Rediff is raging thes eissues.. it is only fuelling anger among kannadigas n Tamilians.. what was need of collecting opinions frm tamailians ...
We Did the same Mistake with british, we thought they are like friends , brother etc etc. Later they ruled us. So All Kannadiga should be alert not to do the same mistake with tamil, they wont think to ask for seperate country! later on.
when it comes to Language fight till we die, jai karnataka.

Karunandhi tried to sit on the issue but the opposition including BJP, Tamil Nadu unit and Jayalaithaa speared headed the pressure on him, while BJP, Karnataka unit tries to milk the issue for votes. The BJP, Karnataka unit forgets it was it was their former partner, JD(S) - who in 1998 signed an agreement with Tamil Nadu on the project.
The games political parties play for votes is disgusting!
No one will be attacked just like that...the silent people are always untouched. Its commonsense...These referring tamil people may be oppossed for whats been happened...Please ask all the 30% of Tamils living in B'lore that how many are attacked...Its also truth that out of the victims no one will give statement on what exactly happened...they will never say the reason behind they are been attacked. In all the regional disputes the other region persons should be in nuetral and peace which will not give time for attacks. The same thing is been seen now.. Karnataka rakshana vedike protested and told to close down the tamil running cinemas. The theator took it positively to avoid any mis-happenings. Its with decisions made at that time....Not by just adding ghee to the fire!

Why only Tamil running theatres alone??? If its a protest why all other theatres are spared? This question is a reply to your message. Im not a person who favour any kind of riots...
Take this from a fellow Tamilian here in Bangalore for the last 1.5 years. There is no faction here, no problem..whatever you see and hear in TV,Newspaper is farce. True Lies Yes, there are packet of problems in the state framed by people who have no other work just to keep the people in the neighbouring state equally useless.
Let not bother about them. we have bigger better task to do.

for my gut feeling, i think Karuna is trying put ghee to a fire and like to have the heat of that by way of , promoting his business tactics. In my opinion, he is trying to rage Kannadigas and make these VEDIKE people to stop all the TAMIL CABLE CHANNELS in Karnataka/Bangalore. SO there by all TAMIL ppl who regularly watch SUN channels , must buy his SUN DIRECT DTH . So, after some time ,any how this problem will get shed , which he knows very well. This is truely his back of mind tactics , just to promote his SUN channle business he is doing this

Why should Tamilians learn hindhi when hindhi is neither national language nor declared so. Its just that most of the people speak hidhi, ppl think its a national language. But its not true.So shut asking tamilians to learn hindhi. They know what is good for them and they do it.

Sure, after you start learning tamil, bengali, malayalam, kannada, telugu. Hindi is NOT the national language of this country, but ONE OF the national language of this country. Face it Ajnabee.
