Our nation's age-old argument over linguistic pride doesn't appear to be coming to an end anytime soon. On social media, a recent post on X about the same thing sparked a heated discussion. According to the article, Bengaluru is not a place for people who don't want to learn kannada and value the local tongue. "Bengaluru is closed for north india and neighboring states who don't want to learn kannada," was the precise phrase.
When they can't respect language and culture, they don't need Bengaluru." While some have publicly endorsed the assertion that language and cultural pride should take precedence over patriotic feeling, others have voiced strong dissent, accusing the post of going against the core principles of indian "Unity in Diversity."
"Why should Bengaluru accept those who are unwilling to adapt?" said one social media user. kannada pride ought to be prioritized.
"Ironically, this was posted in english while encouraging linguistic pride," said another commenter. british colonists would take pride in this.
Although it's OK to have strong linguistic feelings, one must also consider how realistic this is in a society that is increasingly globalized and values talent regardless of where it comes from.
