We are coming up with an organisation named "Tulu Cultural Research Foundation(TCRF)" to promote, preserve and spread #Tulu. Under TCRF we have formed a publication named "Punnamè". The first book of TCRF is "Jeetigè- a Tulu script guide" will be releasing on Shivratri!
@atul_sharma91@IamKishorBhat As someone from undivided South canara, wholeheartedly agree to this point...no nonsense approach and hardwork to just move forward in life...this is ingrained in every house from childhood. The usual scolding from every parent is "if you don't study, I will not take care of you"
@IamKishorBhat The local public in Mangaluru is far far very different and has a development oriented approach and mindset. Hence they pioneered in education and banking sectors. I worked with few colleagues from Mangaluru , no nonsense approach in there work. That’s why they are far ahead.
It was #InternationalMotherLanguageDay yesterday and we made a small effort to promote the learning of Tulu, wherever we travelled in the constituency.
We shared copies of “Jeetige” - a primer to learn the Tulu script, by @Mahimulki and @tuluve_ & team to encourage people especially our Gen next, to learn to read and write our Appe Baase Tulu.

What have you (Karnataka Govt) done to the "identity, dignity, access and opportunity" of your own land's native language Tulu?
When will #Tulu be one of the official language of Karnataka?
India’s unity rests on respecting every language and every citizen’s right to learn in their mother tongue.
The proposed Malayalam Language Bill–2025, by mandating compulsory Malayalam as the first language even in Kannada-medium schools, strikes at the heart of linguistic freedom and the lived reality of Kerala’s border districts, especially Kasaragod.
For children of linguistic minorities, language is not a “subject” alone, it is identity, dignity, access and opportunity. When the State compels a single “first language” choice, it burdens students who learn in their mother tongue, disrupts academic progression and confidence, narrows the freedom to choose a second language, and weakens minority-run institutions and minority-medium education ecosystems.
In Kasaragod’s border belt, generations have studied in Kannada-medium schools and relied on Kannada in daily life and education. Local representatives have long pointed out that a large majority, figures even cited around 70% in parts of the district, prefer Kannada learning and the Kannada script ecosystem. This is not a threat to Malayalam, it is a testament to India’s plural culture, where languages coexist without fear.
Our Constitution is clear that no government can trample the rights of linguistic minorities. Articles 29 & 30 protect the right to conserve language and administer educational institutions of choice; Article 350A casts a duty to provide facilities for instruction in the mother tongue at the primary stage; and Article 350B mandates oversight for linguistic minority safeguards. Coercion in language policy goes against both the letter and spirit of these protections.
Kerala has every right to promote Malayalam with pride. Karnataka does the same for Kannada which is our heartbeat and our identity. But promotion cannot become an imposition.
I urge the Kerala Government to withdraw this coercive approach and uphold India’s constitutional morality. The ideology that treats plurality as an inconvenience cannot lead a diverse nation forward. If this Bill is passed, Karnataka will do everything to oppose it, using all the rights granted by our Constitution. We will stand with every Kannadiga, with the people of Kasaragod, with linguistic minorities, and with all those who believe that India belongs equally to every language and every voice.
Let Malayalam flourish. Let Kannada flourish. Let every mother tongue flourish. That is the India our Constitution promised, and the India we must defend.
