But the Proud itself has been a Problem for people in the Karnataka (Not only here, but the same in all States having Metropolitan Cities)
Hey Guys, lety me ask you one Question
Why have to outsiders stay inside Karnataka ?
We may get the answers like :
- I am working here, and i want an accomodation
- My kids are studying here, and I want a place for them to live..
- and so.. other bloody things...
Dear friends, If they are working here or Studying here, let them own a rented house.. let them stay in PG.. instead why do they need land here? Why do they need a Big big bunglows here ?
You know because of them, what we are facing :
1. They purchase the land here for Big price, becuase of which the landlords got a taste of huge amount for lands.. and so started selling it to insiders for same price... and people like us (Middle class family or Lower class family fear to dream about the land here)
2. Few people, purchase the land here for low price and sell it to huge amount.
3. You believe it or not, If you go in search of Room or PG, u will be shocked to see that 90% of the House owners and Land Owners are Outsiders...
See its already very late to realise this.. But lets atleast make a move towards Planning how to overcome these issues...
If you see the history.. You can compare this to How British occupied India...
We are just common people, and definately we cant make a sudden change or make a sudden impact on this issues... but joining together we can warn every citizen .. We can force the Leaders.. to work towards this..
And definately atleast once in your past , you would have thought about this... but wouldnt have got the oppurtunity to express... it....
You would have got a plan to solve this issues.. you would analysed the root cause for tjis essues.. you would have experience these situations and want to publish it to others...
Please put all your thoughts and Ideas..
Even if we are not able to implement, lets atleast plant the thoughts.. lets make the leaders understand and realise the situation and effect...
I have just put very few thoughts of mine.. I might be wrong at any point .. or you might want to add on extra. Please feel free to put your commets.. Your comments are truly valued ...
Hey, I guess its a right place for me to share my experiences that i had in Bangalore from past 4 months........ FYI, am not a kannadiga but I was brought up in Karnataka itself and would like to be called as kannadiga forever… Am also working in one of the leading IT company.
ReplyDeleteActually, last friday at 4 pm I felt like taking a micro brake from my hectic schedule.. So joined my my team for coffee… Among the 6, 4 of them are from other parts of India and only one guy was a pakka kannadiga… and they wud like to add my name also to kannadiga’s list, since I was also knowing kannada…. Our PL started commenting about the food style of Karnataka… I guess he might have got bored seeing the same menu everyday with a list of rice items for breakfast, and typical karantaka mini meals…., For them, avalakki bath is alaga bath(this is the way they prononunce :-) )…. They don’t like this pongal with raitha, bisibele bath, tomato bath, vange bath… Like this our hot conversation started and they shared their experiences and thoughts, which am going to share in this blog….
“Hmm!! Kannada Baruththa??"
Aaaah! I am sure most of you in Bangalore would have heard this, but what is "kannada baruththa?" here it goes. Bangalore the ‘IT capital of India’ , the ‘Silicon city’ and now a ‘Metro city’ opened its gates to almost all kinds of people. Very evidently the recent poll census proved that there are only 47% of original inhabitants in Bangalore/bengaluru .
The life style of the city has seen a gradual change with Café Coffee Day’s replacing MTR's eat outs,… From the days of BEML, HAL and BHEL to TCS, INFOSYS, WIPRO; Bangalore has a new look now on the world map. One of my colleague who is a pakka Banglorian said “The days are gone where a typical Sunday for any bangalorean was a nice romantic walk on the pavements of "LALBAGH...", "rave idli and coffee.." at the nearest MTR and a wonderful Annavra film either at Santosh or central 'talkies'. Today's Bangalore is flooded in traffic, stress and pressure…., The gandhibazar's are now AC cooled super markets, majestic is now replaced by ultra modern and diversified Brigade road, sri cauvery coffee joint is now Coffee days.. and "Bhagyalakshmi coffee adda.. is now barista. With globalization and more retail market the city will definitely see more forceful changes”.
Have all these changed our language? Kannada the local language of
ReplyDeleteBangalore is supposed to be one of the most meaningful language; but how many
percentage of people really use Kannada in Bangalore now? The figures are
shocking, only 37% of people speak kannada in the state's capital, for
rest it is only "Kannada barutha?"
Any normal guy starts with this sentence "Kannada barutha?" while speaking to a strange person… If u want to ask an address in Bangalore ? Or reply to a question, then English is the most preferred language other than Hindi. It's a famous fact that two kannidagas in an IT company always talk in a neutral language!! even the vendors and shop keepers…. The moment when you step in any shop in Bangalore , you are always asked "Kannada baruththa?" or the entire conversation takes place in non kannada languages. People have lost the confidence of speaking in the local language and more over speaking Kannada on the streets of "MG road "or "kormangala" is substandard.
Shopping malls in the city have been completely banned from using Kannada,
not a forced one but definitely an adapted one. "Swalpa menu card kodthira..??" has been replaced by "Can I have the menu card please...?"
Just to hit some facts, marathi is still the largest and common speaking
language in mumbai even though mumbai has the highest no of inhabitants.
Telugu is a practised ritual in yet another IT HUB Hyderabad . When it comes
to tamil nadu, beware you can be alive either if you are a fan of
rajnikanth or you know tamil. Malyalam runs in the blood of every mallu be
it Kuwait , dubai or any hospital; but when it comes to kannada it is
always "kannada barutha?".
I am neither a Kannada activist nor do I run any Kannada supporting
organization, I am just one of the proud Indians who just love the language “Kannada”.
Globalisation is the trend and modernisation is the mantra but at the cost
the language? Sounds no logic.. Is speaking kannada down market? The answer
has to be found within oneself. Next time when you hear "kannada barutha?"
you just remember that "kannada runs in your blood.." Better to start thinking than blaming others….. Kannadadhalli mathanadi, kannadavannu ulisona….
