Should learning a language be made compulsory?

There is a reason why u r asked to get out of city. And locals don't usually say that to Telugus or Tamils or Marathis. It's predominantly aimed at a section from somewhere and a major reason is people from that somewhere are generally crap(sorry for stereotyping). 1. Be grateful for the local land, culture and set up. Problems exist everywhere, solve it if you can, remember that you were not born in a palace. 2. Learn the local culture, actualize it, propagate it. Massive influx of immigrants wipes out the existing culture. Onus is on you to not only protect it but spread it as well. If you don't then yes, u should get the fck out. 3. India is a mix of cultures. Just how Hindi is important a language so is kannada. Telugu or Tamil or everyone. Did you even know Kannada has won 8 Jnanapith awards(highest literary honour) vs Hindi's 11 despite the miniscule population of kannada infront of Hindi? Do you even know how rich kannada literature is? Do you really believe it deserves death in its own crown jewel(Bangalore?). Who do you think you are if you think this city should speak the language of people u come from but don't put an effort to speak the city's language. Live and let live. Yes that's a 2 way street. Onus has always been on you. After more thab decade of handing you guys an olive branch, now the city has realised our open gesture is taken for granted. Well, make no mistake we will teach you the right way. Onus is still on you!

This non sense debate has to be solved. We are a country of diverse colours. Where the hell are you AI founders 😑. Solve this issue. And rahi baat learning about culture, imposing isn't solve gonna anything. It will backfire for sure. Look at what korean people did. Made their culture accessible and cool to the world. People are leaning it because they like it. I myself being marathi, fell in love with bengali language due to songs and mallyalam due to movies (fahad fasil is chad chetta).

Roads, Metro, Taxi Drivers arrogance, Corruption....Naah Speak Kannada first. I'll be as blunt as possible. "Supporting this behaviour will make life hell for non-Kannadigas in Karnataka and Kannadigas out of Karnataka." This CM has done nothing but spread hatred and divide Karnataka as much as possible.

As everyone knows, India is a multilingual country. What do you think is the one language that could unify India as a linguistic nation: English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, or any other? Do you feel that there's a strong need for this in India, or is it not desirable to have one linguistic nation? Do you feel that people have started to perceive themselves differently based on their language? What are the thoughts of Grapevine users on this matter?

On a recent episode of Nikhil Kamath, he says “Bangalore is famous for nice and welcoming people”. This is so very true to a large extent. Every city however has some outliers who tarnish the image by going extreme. I have seen a lot of posts on GrapeVine complaining about Bangalore and their people. People should understand that every native resident of a city carries a profound sense of connection and endeavours to uphold the cultural heritage of their hometown. And what better way to preserve heritage than to safeguard language ? This is the reason I believe most non Hindi speaking cities try to impose their language on outsiders. All said and done, I feel language should never be imposed but at the same time it shouldn’t be ridiculed either. I’ve seen a lot of “Kannada” hate post and is disheartening to see it. And lastly I appologize to all those who have had negative experiences due to a few troublemakers. TL;DR : Bangalore is a lovely city with warm and welcoming people.
