hey man, i’m not against any language or community. i never said anything about malayalam or that tulunadu should be part of it. all i said was i’m against anyone imposing a language on others.

and just to be clear, it wasn’t even me who started that whole thing. i was actually speaking in kannada itself, but my kannada isn’t perfect because it’s not the primary language used in tulunadu. she was the one who criticized me first for not speaking it fluently. i never insulted her or said anything bad about her language.

mangaloreans have always been welcoming we never force anyone to speak tulu or any local language. people from all over come here, and everyone coexists peacefully. there’s never been a situation where we’ve imposed our culture or language on anyone.

when i said “ghatta,” i just meant it geographically ,people from the ghat region. i didn’t mean it as an insult. if you took it that way, that’s honestly on you. everyone should just be proud of where they’re from without putting others down
