Some outside anti social elements instigate such separatist issues like we are facing in Kashmir. They believe that once they are successful in acheiving such things will further divide people on the same grounds. There are five languages spoken in the three districts which include Tulu, Malayalam, Konkani, Kannada & Beary and are so peacefully co-existing from centuries. It is the locals who have to decide if any problems exist not outsiders.

Tuluvas are speakers of Tulu language. Tuluvas are highly educated, prosperous people & spread across the world. They are basically from Kasorgod, South Kanara & Udupi districts of Kerala & Karnataka. Tuluvas in the 60's used to migrate to Mumbai & Middle East, but today you can find them in large numbers in Bangalore & US. To name a few famous Tulavas are Bollywood actors Aishwarya rai, Suniel Shetty, Shilpa Shetty, Heart Surgeon Devi Shetty & many more. Tuluvas, Kannadigas, Malayalis & Konkani people co-exist in this part of Karnataka. There are some outside anti social people who try to stir the peaceful co-existance now and then. It is these people to decide the local problems if exists not outsiders who have vested interests in karnataka
