I don't know much about this writer. But from the above word I can sure he is not aware of Indian democracy where every one has right to live anywhere in India. No need to learn the respective state's language. If I want to live in Karnataka, is learning kannada is the basic qualification. Most of the people working in IT industries in Bangalore are not Kannadigas. If they resign their jobs then Bangalore will be no longer called the Silicon Valley of India. It will become ordinary rural area. Basically we are Indians. We have rights to what to learn and where to live.

Bangalore got the tag of Silicon valley long before non-Kannadigas entered Bangalore.

Just go out of bangalore and see how much poor is karnataka. They are struggling. These people who call themselves kannadiga while sitting in bangalore really don't know the condition of Karnataka when outside of it. If bangalore survioves on COmputers rest of akrnataka survives only on nariyal and nariyal pani. 15 years back most of the people in bangalore were far from the scene where they are today with poor employement rate, poor infrastructure which still goes today, and substandard education. There is no good government college and governemnt has obliged businessman to rape education as most of the private colegs are in Karnataka who churn out worst stundets. A poor can't study there right from beginning at basic school education..so much bad the condition of these people who call themselves kannadiga. I think they have forgotten their days just 15 years back as well as rest of Karnataka wherr poverty and unemployement is reeling. By doing so they are furhter ensuring that no companies expand there and no outside talents wishes to come there.
