another thing i would like to request…does the so called kannada flag represent all kannadigas….i think NO…in my knowledge,there are 3 percent christians and 13 percent muslims and small percents parsis,jain etc in the state..the flag is supposed to represent all of them…right??
but it looks like HIndu flag with the picture of a goddess inside it…why is it so???

I would stand for English..let us have English as our National language…Because this is the language which is giving food to me and my family today…IT companies in Bangalore are working with English language..not by Kannada language..Also the red-yellow falg is not an official flag of karnataka…as per the National flag rules, states shouldn’t use their own flags..there is only one flag that is showing the proud of India and Indian, that is the NATIONAL FLAG of India…let us not fight on language, regionalism and culture…we are all Indians.

Just happened to pass by this log during a search. A lot has been said during the past one year or so. I would like to add some of my thoughts here.

Nobody is born into a place of his choice or a religion of his choice. But being born in India, it offers its own essence. An essence which stands out from the rest of the world. While the rest of the world emphasises on just materialistic developement, India has stood the test of time and its rich cultulral roots are only getting stronger. The land whether was invaded by Aryans or not is a seperate topic by itself. But regions of india developed over a period of time. Many great thinkers contributed to this cultural gowth in their own capacities. Bear in mind churning always results in better growth. The lifestyle of this great land called India has to be understood through the diversity of its culture. To understand this Language is a tool. I just happened to read about kannada words in Greek comedies and so on and so forth. Fantastic. The richness of this language is there to see. The reach of the language is there to see. Lets just not take the pride in a language. Pride is inherently associated with localist thought. Let us use the pride to see how it is cross linked to other languages and cultures of which great thinkers were born.
I would also like to point out a fact here, This is one land which has had the privilige of housing the great Ramanujacharya along with its own son the great Madhvacharya. Not to forget Sri Shankara who opened one of the recognised mutt at sringeri.
The land has been strolled upon by these greats denoting its a land where knowledge would blossom. Lets use pride in a small way.

Regards,
Ram

hindi is not the national language but it is the official language to be used in all govt transactions.this was done to make communication easier not because the constitution was framed by north indians.
and stop abusing the rest of india and glorifying only kannada you $#$@.Read the indian struggle for independens be proud of it, the whole nation made it possible including the north indians.I reccomend you to never reside in india remain a nri.
we dont need more bal n raj thakerays !
being indian is not speaking hindi and following north culture, the world knows india is a diverse nation, with diverse languages and cultures.
hindi was chosen as official language because of its simplicity to understand and speak.you think the whole nation can speak gujrati,marati,kannada or tamil..so shut the $#$@ up and dont step foot on this nation again…TRAITOR !
