In recent times, the Kannada language row in Karnataka has sparked significant debate, particularly in Bengaluru, a city known for its multicultural population. While advocates suggest people learn the language, claiming it’s a way of respecting the local culture, critics argue that such a demand is exclusionary in a cosmopolitan setting. Now, a post stating “Bengaluru is closed for north India and neighbouring states who don’t want to learn Kannada” has sparked a heated debate, reigniting the Kannada language row on social media.
In the post, the X user suggested that people who don’t respect the local language and culture should avoid Bengaluru. “Bengaluru is closed for north India and neighbouring states who doesn’t want to learn Kannada. They don’t need Bengaluru when they can’t respect language and culture,” the user wrote.
