K'taka:Bandh affects normal life
by Vishal Mishra on Oct 04, 2006 12:32 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

What is the logic behind blacking out non kannada TV Channels. Is this Bandh against rest of the Indians or indian languages.

This Bandh would further divide kannads and non kannads and only hatred will prevail if this is the way agendas for calling protests are choosen.

STUPID AND USELESS ACT BY BUNCH OF SUCH PEOPLE

Before calling somebody stupid try and guage yourself. Go to any other state they dont allow other language channels except for one or two even on the normal days. Why you raise your voice only against this. Infact we allow all other languages freely in karnataka. Go to anyother state you cannot survive there without knowing the local language.

I feel your act is height of stupidity since its outrageous.

Mr. Mishra,
What's wrong if the cable operators are showing solidarity for a kannada cause. It's a peaceful way of protest. Can't you forego watching TV for one day? As for the rift that you talk of between locals and non-locals, it's the duty of the outsiders to adjust to the way of life in Karnataka, not the other way round. After all you get the best treatment here. Try acting smart in Chennai. Kannadigas are known to be very soft and gentle people. If adjusting to local culture is such a big problem for you then go back to your UP or Bihar.
