Your words have no reality. The areas mentioned above all are kannada dominated. They only speak in kannada. Its only the tamils who looks like minorities over there. Dont justify yourself with all possitives. Kannadigas in TN speak only kannada. They speak kannada in public, not just in home. No tamil is opposing it. Actually they are calm going in all walks of life (except a few who lives in slums). They want to be indigenous by speaking tamil in their own place. Whats wrong in it. Many people twist their protest towards hindi-insertion for their joy to abuse tamils. Hindi is assigned as a national language, but that doesnt mean everyone in India in every city must speak hindi. Will these hindi guys study any south indian language even for fun? be it kannada or telugu. Why is this hype. When cornered by other majorities they might outburst. I am an outsider in TN (from AP).
