Freedom from Old british rule did not really free each state in India. It did not give enough movement for the languages as political system was completely taken over by moronic hindi belt. India can be compared to europe where each state in India represents each country in Europe. Only difference is there is enough freedom for every language. European union unlike Indian government is not enforcing a single language though english speakers are a majority. Just like that India is not a single country but bunch of small countries like Karnataka, Maharashtra and the rest. "Hindians" on the other hand are imposing hindi on other states. Non - Hindi speakers are keeping themselves oblivious of injustice happenening almost everyday to them. They have proved that by giving options of two languages Hindi and English, whilst both are alien languages for non - Hindi speaking belt; when it comes to most of the entrance exams in the governmental sectors although the educated and talented manpower is in the south. This is giving undue advantage to Hindians. political maneuvering is the trick that "hindians" are following. During the late 1980s the fledging Janata Party, a contender for taking control of the Indian Government in the next election, was about to elect its President. Karnataka Chief Minister Ramakrishna Hegde was a leading candidate. A powerful politician like Hegde with proven administrative experience as chief minister would naturally be the choice for Prime Minister if he were to become Janata Party President and the Party were to form the Indian Government. This idea soured Hindi politicians of the party. They went on a covert campaign to besmirch Hegde and succeeded Seldom do leaders of one party smirch the name of another leader of the party; Hegde's case was a rare exception. This goes to show the extent Hindians would go to keep non-Hindians out of real power.
and why do you think the railway projects and other millions of dollars worth projects goes to hindi speaking belt and hardly any to south.
why is Indian government delaying according classical language status to Karnataka despite knowing it is an ancient language???
why did deve gowda had to step down and gujral assumed the position. what was his trick ?
Gowda during his regime took up dooradarshan project. it was destined to help farmers in India to improve by broadcasting several different programs in "hindi". How on earth can expect you expect farmers who are in 99.99 percent cases in india are uneducated to know and understand hindi. Devegowda made a slip and ordered the bulletins to be broadcasted in all local languages. This was outrageous for Hindians. There were only a small number of Hindians within the coalition but there were sizable numbers in Congress(I) which was supporting the coalition government from outside. They rallied enough support within a few months and in April 1997 Congress (I) gave an ultimatum that Gowda be ousted or they would withdraw support resulting in the collapse of the coalition government. They were not objecting to any of the government's major foreign or domestic policies, they were not objecting to any other minister in the cabinet, they were not asking for any ministerial position for Congress(I); their only demand was Deve Gowda out! They were willing to accept I. K. Gujral as Prime Minister. He was a light-weight politician from Hindi belt who had very few Members of Parliament from his party thus was never even considered for the Prime Minister position before. But he emerged as the only politician acceptable to the Hindian dominated Congress(I). They wanted to send a clear message to any non-Hindi politician who would dare to interfere in the Hindian hegemony of India. Gujral's selection sent the right message. The selection of Gujral to replace Gowda was a message no one could miss. Gowda wanted the government-controlled television to replace Hindi language agriculture bulletins by local language bulletins. Gujral used to be the Minister for Communications and Broadcasting in an earlier government. During his tenure in that position, he openly stated that television would be used to propagate Hindi, a differing view than Gowda's. For that "service" to Hindi he was now awarded the Prime Minister position and Gowda was "punished" for interfering in the use of government television to propagate and impose Hindi. The message was clear to all non-Hindi politicians aspiring for key posts in the Indian Government, "We (Hindians) may allow non-Hindian Prime Ministers if absolutely necessary but if he/she does anything against Hindian supremacy, we will depose him/her". The message was not lost on the formerly staunch opponent to Hindi imposition, the DMK Party of Tamil Nadu. During the past few years it has softened its stand on Hindi imposition; except for a few statements within Tamil Nadu it kept silent within the government. It is no accident that Maran, DMK President Karunanidhi's nephew and Minister for Industry, took his oath of office in English and not in Tamil while all Hindian ministers did so in Hindi. His ministry continues to base promotions and salary increments on the basis of passing Hindi examination. Karunanidhi, a one-time anti-Hindi stalwart, knows very well that if Maran or other DMK ministers interfere in the continued Hindi imposition in their ministries, their positions would not last for even a week.
The Deve Gowda episode demonstrates the extent of Hindian power in Indian politics and who really rules India. Narasimha rao of Andhra pradesh when he became the prime minister, Kamaraj, rajaji of tamil nadu were given the same treatment by not offering any positions despite knowing they were good bunch of leaders. so the law yet to written in Indian constitution is India has to be ruled by Hindians and not Indians.
I would like to share my experience of a bit of my travel across different places in south India. After looking at the plight of kannada in Bengaluru and few other big cities in Karnataka, I thought of passing on my thoughts and experiences to people to make them realise of their mistake !
Travelling to Chennai, one of the 4 major metro's in India. Starting from boarding the bus from my home to KBS to Chennai bus station, the things that have happened were shocking for me. I was going there for a short term training. I boarded the local mass transport, got the ticket and a man standing next to me asking for a ticket "bus stand ka ek ticket dena conductor" and the conductor replied " kis bus stand jana hai aapko ?". I appreciated conductor's hindi language. Then switched to a local FM Radio and heard RJ yelling "This is radio Mirchi and next song coming up is rang de basanti from the hit movie rang de basanti" and he played quite a lot of hindi songs and he was talking in english with hardly a few kannada words in it. I was taken aback but kept myself calm and did not ignite any thinking about kannada in peril. I was in the bus stand waiting for the bus. I was about 20 minutes early to the terminus to make sure that I dont miss the bus caught in terrible traffic. I saw rickshaw drivers surrounding a bus that had just landed into the terminus from Tamil nadu, and impressing incoming people with their Tamil skills "sir, inga vaanga sir" . That was a bus from Tamil nadu transport system and name of the destination i.e., Bengaluru was in tamil. I was watching all the rickshaw drivers getting a good deal and going away with men. Few disappointed drivers starting running to another bus that had just landed from Tirupathi, Andhra Pradesh and were trying to entice people alighting with their telugu skills and were pretty successful and the name of the destination of the bus was in Telugu. I then started thinking did I see any name in Kannada except in rare occassion in the city. Is this development or putting your identity in peril in the name of development?. I tried to keep thoughts aside and diverted my attention on the news daily I had at hand. I started reading it, turned to the page containing cinema and stuff. Oh dear God, completely occupied by success of tamil movies, telugu movies and hindi movies. Kannada movies ????
nowhere in the sight, and it was at the corner that I found about Kannada movies.
My bus arrived and I had to head on. Since it was KSRTC bus, I expected kannada in the bus and to my amazement, bus conductor presuming the travellers as tamilians was collecting fare from them communicating in Tamil. I spoke in Kannada and showed my reservation. The bus had hardly crossed Kolar district of Karnataka, that I was seeing the posters and sign boards in both the languages which should have been in Kannada alone instead. I expected the same in the tamil nadu border of Karnataka and I did not get to see one.
Finally Chennai, again the rickshaw drivers flocking but surprisingly they were not yelling in kannada. First Blow. It was hard for me to go the office in bus as no one spoke either hindi or english, on the first day. First meeting with my boss also surprised me when he told me that it is very much necessary to learn tamil. It was a sunday morning that I planned to head out for a movie and chips. I bought a daily and was going through the cinema section and Kannada movies are nowhere in the sight unlike in Kannada newspapers where other language movies hit your eye even if you dont want to read about them. Finally I found "Mungaru Male" in a luxurious theatre and I expected a cut out of Ganesh or a couple of posters across the road and I was taken aback to see none around the theatre or on my way to the theatre either unlike in Bangalore where you see Cut-out's of Rajini Kanth and Chiranjeevi almost everywhere near Majestic. 3 months of hard living in Chennai was nightmarish, which like I expected to be a multilingual like Bangalore turned out to be monolingual and a place difficult to be lived without tamil. It was the final day of training, day of bidding adieu to fellow trainees and the boss. Managed to travel to the bus stand and this time around it was a Tamil nadu state transport bus that I managed to get. I expected some kannada but was terribly disappointed to see that he did not speak it. That is when I realised how our own people are holding others high at the price of their self-respect, identity, bowing to pressures and selling their souls to impress upon migrating people and everything in the name of globalisation or socio-economic development. At the least 20 percent of tamilians intent to save their Language and culture should have been in Kannadigas, is what I feel. pity !!!
