In spite of being born and brought up in bangalore adn earning their salaries in bangalore, some of these Tamilians do not learn Kannada. Why cant they learn kannanda and its culture. If they are born and educated in karnataka, Tamilians should call themselves Kannadigas and not Tamilians

Dude , As a tamilian ...i would say one reply for this....this is a typical problem what marathi say to north indians in Maharasthra ...No north indians learn gujju or marathi when they shift to surat or pune or mumbai.... Same way tamils behave in Bangalore... But..... ITS THE GOVERNMENT WHICH IS TO BE BLAMED FOR THIS...DO ANY NORTH INDIAN GIVE UP HINDI ? DO ANY TAMILIAN GIVE UP TAMIL ? Hope u witness the unity of ppl in our TN when language is touched... Why cant your politicians turn the same passion on u ... U WILL KEEP UR HOUSE OPEN AND U WILL SCREAM THAT NO THIEF SHOULD COME AND ROB WHEN AM NOT THERE...who will listen to u ..
U guys shud have given your passion for the language which doesnt happen in Karnataka
I totally disagree with you, it is not true that tamils dont learn to talk in Kannada in B'lore. Good many tamils talk in Kannada comfortably. Only few migrant labour have this language problem. As far as Tamil & Kannada are concerned there are lots of common words and easy to understand each others language. Only people like who have narrow mindset talk & write like this. Dont fall prey to the petty politicians words, who have no other work to do.
