It is slowly spreading thats for sure. I am not a Tamilian however while on my way to office I got a flavour of Kannadiga patriotism(if that is you call it)! I could not get an auto not because of my destination(which is normal in Blore) but because I could not speak Kannada. It happened to me twice this morning and when I got one the auto driver fought with me because I could not speak Kannada. I am surprised that non kannadigas face so much problem in every sphere of public life even if they are contributing so much and love this city as their own. While on one hand a publication group wants to revamp city's image, there is a constant force to take it out. I wonder what would happen to the state and the city if industries like IT are taken out. Will so called guardians of regional pride even be able to sustain themselves.

Whaht SAyan dutta is telling is absolutely lie. Autodrivers in Bangalore will speak all south indian languages including Hindi. They never insist to speak in Kannada.

Boss speak in context of Mumbai where you would have been packed and sent home. Kannadigas are not treating you any where near that.
