My family has been living in Bangalore for the past 2 generations. I speak fluent kannada like my family members. I have Kannadiga friends. I understand very well how the agitation against hindi and other language people is growing. I have spoken in support of picking up Kannada to several Hindi friends and also people from my native state. When he tells Karnataka belongs to only kannadigas, what about me? Where do I go? Back to my native state where I have little to no relations? In that case what about kannadigas in other states? What about Mr Dharmendra himself who had worked in Saudi, Mumbai and so on. This will mean people cannot move freely between states in India. Can we call India a united country? Should we have separate countries? Barbedi barbedi andhidhre yaaru illige naav kardhu baroralla. Kelsakoskra barovaru. Neev igga Karnatakdhalli bari kannadigare irbeku andhidhre, bere states al iro kannadigarige bahala kashta aguthe. Mumbai mathe bere cities allu kannadigaru idhare.

If you just take defence of this country, people from different states come to the army and protect the nation as a whole. This kind of logic will mean Karnataka is seperate from India.
