What a Pity...

Today is Novmber 1st.
That means, "Karnataka Rajyothsava", Karnataka celebrates its 50th anniversary of its formation as a state in India.

I am in Ofice, though its an official holiday...

Funny thing I noticed...

"Eee dina karnataka Rajyothsava prayuktha raje ghoshisalagide"
"Jai Kannada, Jai Karnataka"

Those were the sign boards hanging at my office's gate :-)

You know why?
Else these the members of "Kannada hitasakthi samithi" or something similar to that will throw stones at your office, specially if it is an IT office... ( Isn't it fun to throw stones on a building with glass walls?)

Similar things were seen during the recent bundh in Karnataka.

What does it mean?
People are forced to love Kannada, at least pretend/act like they do.

I agree, Bangalore is bombarded with people from all over the country because of this IT thingy... Kannadigas feel so insecure in their own Capital, that they have to force the junta to love Kannada.

I don't know if same happens in other states...

Kannada... What a Pity.
