Patil,,,as the history has it written in black and white your claim on Belgaum is as phoney as your claim to be a Kannadiga. So stop making up history to satisfy your need of self proclaimation. I have relavtives in the area of Karwar,Nipani and Belgaum and I know for sure what heritage and tradition,culture they follow. Nobody speaks Kannada in their household. Besides Konkani,Marathi and English and broken Hindi no other languages are followed. Most of people of Dharwad,Hubli, Ankola, Manglore, Belgaum, Nipani, Karwar, Bhatkal, Kumta and rest of north and south kanara speak only Konkani in their household. And I don't think Konkani has anything to do with Kannada. Get your facts straight and mind checked. So stop Kannada Govt. propaganda to manipulate your point of view. You sould like one of your stupid leaders namely Gouda.
