Am not advocating (as someone says here) outsiders to pick Kannada. First of all who am I to command an unknown person. But am just saying the fact that most of the outsiders don't understand local sentiments and don't respect Kannada. This is what hurting me.
I too oppose the way the KRV (Kannada Rakshana Vedhike) behaves, but in some way I do feel that because of them atleast some Kannada is left out in Bangalore. How can Mr. veeratamilian can call KRV as terrorist? So we Kannadigas doesn't even have rights to fight for Kannada in Bangalore? Atleast we are fighting for our rights with in India. What about you tamilians? You guys fighting for rights with other countries like Malayasia, Sri Lanka. Then should we call all tamilians as terrorist? Does it makes sense?
Wherever you go respect the rich culture of local language and local people.

They don't damage theaters and black paint malays in Malaysia, like what the KRV terrorists do. LTTE is also a terrorist, but much worse than KRV. But it doesn't mean KRV is not a terrorist. Kannadigas have right to fight, but KRVs use terror to fight which is not a right. Lets not have bias because KRV belongs to our karnataka. KRV is as terrorist as DMK in tamilnadu. Tamil people and karnataka people are not terrorists.

I totally agree with u on Kannada and kannadiga are sidelined especialy in Bangalore.An outsider coming to bangalore will not know whats kannada or kannada culture.I had felt this when i came to bangalore 2 yrs back.But tell me onething myfriend do u think Tamils or anyother outsiders only responsible for this.Is this is the responsiblity of locals(kannadigas) to hold high their language.whenever i try speaking in Kannada(Broken) people used to give me reply either in hindhi,english or broken tamil.All these folks are locals only. U know what i used to watch TV channels to learn this language.is'nt it pathetic.Its whoz fault defnatly not outsiders.But whatever the KRV is doing will force moderator like me to the extreme,Is that good? Think my friend
