The Kannada Language Row
Dear Reader,
The Congress came to power in Karnataka in May this year. By December we've seen Kannada language being used as a 'leverage' for many things.
One intended strategy is to use fervent regionalism and pitch it against Hindutva. But set this aside for the moment. What is happening in Bengaluru? In the last ten years there has been further influx into the IT city leading to further erosion of the city's original character.
What should the city do? Continue the path into an all consuming cosmopolitanism or make an attempt to regain the character of the place?
What if there was a middle path between the street 'activism' that we saw recently and the default state of apathy?
Listen to Diksha Yadav and Surabhi Hodigere on What This Means - only on our mobile apps now.
