What u said is right. u r not fit in karnataka as well as in India. U did well till tenth because u did it in ur mother language. once u switch to other media(engilish) u found( and ur friends) difficulty. This is because of English. U can not blame Kannada for this. U could have suggest other way that teach English as one subject from the primary levell but not as medium to teach other subjects. For your kind information i also from rural Karnataka and upto 10th my medium was kannada. I did Engineering without tutions or donations. and i am doing well now. Do not Kill culture just for the sake of personel interest. Try to understand ur mother first(Unfortunately).
