Should learning a language be made compulsory?

There is an argument that many developed countries use language tests to allow immigration to their country, including USA, UK, Germany etc.

Logically, Indian states expecting minimum language learning for leveraging opportunities should be okay, right?

PS: I do not endorse violence or political rhetoric in the name of language.

Its not a mandatory by any standards , English is an international language and in Germany it's not mandatory to learn German to practise job etc etc.Some courses however may require German language proficiency but KARNATAKA is NOT A COUNTRY ITS A STATE IN A DEVELOPING COUNTRY. Native language will only help you blend into the local community,it doesn't really change ANYTHING ON HOW WELL YOU'LL ACE IN YOUR JOB/SKILL. Please don't drag random trolls of twitter on grapevine.

this “learn Kannada” rift started when northerners started asking the locals to talk in Hindi on the basis of it being national language.

the response is a bit aggressive but they’re not wrong to fight back right?

Would you be fine if bglr is made capital of India just coz someone says it is the start up capital?? There is no sense in it right?

So how would the locals feel if an outsider who is welcomed as a guest tries to impose their language on the locals?

In the image attached please concentrate on “ we’d encourage and respect “ this can go both ways can’t it?

Jo hua vo acha hua. Jo ho raha hai vo bhi acha ho raha hai. aur jo hoga vo bhi DOOSRE STATES/CITIES k liye kafi acha hoga !

bangalore vaise bhi kafi crowded ho gaya hai, and look at other beautiful cities (state capitals) of India ! for eg, Jaipur - it has 50 engineering colleges but all students go to bangalore, pune, mumbai, hyd, gurgaon for job. Why can't Jaipur get some 10% share of IT companies ? u will find local talent , then we have NIT -jaipur, BITS pilani , IIT Jodhpur , IIM Udaipur ! It has everything what a corporate company will need ! its good that kannadigas are putting those restrictions, if more immigrants come, then for sure u will loose ur culture !

That should be a choice, and not a necessity. People are hired for their skills, and not their willingness to lick ass for local politics. Unless that's what you were hired to do. Then it's kinda okay
