Kannadigas have been abusing and assaulting people from other states. This is really strange. Are they not part of India?

Well the problem i think is with the arrogant and stupid North Indians who impose their f*** langage where ever they go

following the tech bubble in india (mainly bangalore), a LOT of north indians have moved to bangalore – i was surprised when i visited bangalore few years back and also have heard this from my friends and family still back in bangalore – this is essentially changing blore – if you walk into any restuarant or pub, you will hear people talking in hindi – if you were a native bangalorean you know this was not the case 10 years ago – walking in MG Road blore – is now entirely different

with that said, bangalore has always had a issue with tamilians – the fact is that tamilians are THE most radical people when it comes to their language and state (ask any tamilian and they will openly support LTTE)

although i think that banning hindi and tamil films might not do much, i am glad to see my fellow kannadigas do something to preserve our state the way it used to be – bangaloreans and kannadigas are very passive people when it comes to these issues (compare to any other indian sate, especially any other south indian state)

so ennis my friend, if you ask me and certainly any other native bangalorean, calling these people “bangalore bigots” is just plain harsh – their reaction, if you ask me, is very mild

Well the problem i think is with the arrogant and stupid North Indians who impose their f*** langage where ever they go…I am a kannadiga in b’lore nd i hav a lot of Tamil frnds who speak good kannada…But in turn the northies never speak to local ppl in english/kannada but in hindi…they imposed their language IN RADIOS/THEATRES AND HENCE THE ERUPTION…Those arrogant minded hindians say hindi is the national language nd impose their shit language in Karnataka by all means…Also,hindi is ONE OF THE OFFICIAL LANG. OF INDIA INCLUDING OTHER LANGUAGES…

Bud, let me suggest a simple reason why Kannada films are not well-received in Ktka - they are just terrible.

Maybe you could step down the vitriol and start making some (at least barely) watchable movies?

This article is not correct. Well there are NOT 30% of Tamils in blore. Dynamics of Blore has changed over the last 7 yrs. Blore is a cosmpolitan city with 42% of local Kannadiga poulation and the rest is people from all different states, predominantly from North India. There is a motive beyond language reasons to ban non-Kannada movies. Ban is not just in Blore but in the entire state. First Reason is Karnataka is the ONLY state in India which screens movies in 6 languages and there are very few theaters in Karnataka when compared to other states. The second reason is the film distributor lobby though not powerful is rich and mostly non-locals from other states and they have been trying to push other language films all over Karnataka to spread the market of non-kannada movies for their profits. Kannadigas who are openminded buffs have always accepted films irrespective of language. But the cheap tricks played by distributors and the gartitude-less politicians bled the kannada film industry and an average Kannadiga and hence the BAN!! Now let me also point out that though a sizeable Tamils live in Blore, they are hated by local Kannadigas for their arrogant attitude and indebtedness. It is these people who came looking for jobs in the princely state of Karnataka. Their problem was they never adapted to the locals or local kannada culture and hence major ire is drawn against them. With due respects, there is no significance of having a Tiruvallur statue in Blore. It is like forcing a church to host a ShivaLing!! Tiruvallur has not done anything to Kannadigas or Karnataka. Though there were Kavery riots it was a politicized issue and both the states had committed mistakes. Lastly the media is to be blamed for making this a big issue. Though the movement has subsized a little, i am sure its going to comeback again until rightful things are not chalked out in Blore or India! Jai Hind, Jai Karnataka Mathe

I guess it is murky. The GOI website suggests 22 languages recognized by the Indian constitution, and does not include English-making it even murkier.
