There was a man who defied changes, foresaw a debacle and protested. Man who saw and recognised the injustice happening to Kannadigas and tried to awaken people against it with the principle ""ಕರ್ನಾಟಕಂತರ್ಗತ ಭಾರತಮಾತೆ". It was none other than Sri Aluru Venkataraya, a man with a good foresight and a tuf man against the injustice that Hindi speaking belt has done injustice to us. He was the man who fought for a separate state of Karnataka. It is a natural reflex of a normal being to protest or defy changes especially the change is'nt bad and hurting like enforcing hindi by force and enticement unlike the present middle-aged or youth which is playing reluctant when Kannada really needs them.
A state of kannada should evolve - was his vision. He did not care for people calling him "jingoist" behind his back. The man's effort in the evolution of Karnataka and kannada and a kannadiga paid off as a result of which we have our own state and identity and still today his answers to "Jerks" finding out faults in working for kannada, karnataka and Kannadiga hold good.
"I am a Kannadiga first, I am an Indian next"
Above quote was one of his famous quotes. This alone in my opinion would be enough to kindle the fire. come lets build KANNADA NADU.
Ask these questions to yourself and you will know why was Sri Venkataraya true
First ask yourself why is Hindi our national language ?. There are plenty of other languages. Kannada, Gujarathi, Bengali, Marathi. Decisions cannot be made with just the consideration of number of hindi speakers. Bengali speakers are nearly equal to hindi speaking. why this partiality ?. Why cant Kannada be the National Language ????
Because the governance was in the hands of hindi speaking Freaks during the time of independence. Others remained submissive until Tamil nadu realised the "Black" in the government but in vain. Why is this happening ?
English can be a common language. why Hindi?. Its false and unfair to say that every Kannadiga has to learn Hindi to impress north Indians or to get a central government job. It is giving scope to hindi speaking belt to get into Karnataka taking things as granted. It is like letting them live in your house without even him having to respect your mother and your culture. would you endure that ?. So is the case with other south Indian languages spoken in Bangalore, Mysore and Mangalore which endangers Kannada in the state and makes the migrants from other states feel that there is no need to learn Kannada and Karnataka culture. If you go to Tamil nadu or Orissa and talk to an ordinary man in Hindi and expect answer in Hindi, you are the extraordinary fool. No question of any other language !. You cant expect tamilian to speak in Kannada even if he knows kannada. He expects you to learn Tamil. Why dont we Kannadiga's understand ?
Why do you think the safety precautions in rails and on Gas cylinders are in Hindi ?.
My mother does not know hindi and cant read english either and what if she wants to know about safety instructions. why is this injustice done to Kannada and Kannadigas. Dont you think it has to be Kannada. Your own identity is lost everyday due to enforcement of hindi. See how, Ad's are in Hindi, Radio Mirchi (Mirchi = chilli in hindi), some quotes are also into kannada which is unbelievably ridiculous. Tamil Nadu is authoratitive enough to keep hindi at bay. In a directive released by the government, Tamil nadu has been excluded for imposition of Hindi. If that is the case, why us? we dont want Hindi either...
Railway recruitment board expects 10 grade pass student to speak hindi fluently and wants the documents in hindi. And now adding to all the problems is the military recruitment expecting documents in hindi with abuses to Local people. How on earth can you create one where the official language is some other. Hindi speaking "Jerks" have to be made known that we are a part of India and there is no India without Karnataka. it is one of the organ of a body and has to be respected and taken care of for the normal functioning.
