Think stats are wrong.. how did u deduce that they for less than 2/3 of karnataka.. Its we kannada ppl are generous enough to accomodate other people and now this is wot happening now(just like in mumbai). All the places u mentioned are properous places and other states want to have it for there for political/rich-people,s-personal cause. If its the case, when all states were divided on lingustic bases, why weren't then divided to those places then ?. Give it a thought....
