Today, we are excited to share one of the most significant infrastructure upgrades in Tulupedia's journey so far.
At Tulupedia, our mission has always been clear: to preserve, document, and promote Tulu language, culture, history, and heritage through technology.

Who's gonna tell Mi-lords & Ranveer Singh that Tulunad Pili Chandi Daiva in Kantara is different and Vedic deity Chamundeshwari is different 😭

This is what happens when people doesn't understand the concept of Daivaradhane

I was part of the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) logo competition.

We went through 2 rounds, built a full identity system, and (last we heard) made top 5.

They just announced the final logos.

This is what we submitted vs what got selected 👇

@pracosm Worth of art!! Just reminds me of a Kannada proverb- ಕತ್ತೆಗೇನು ಗೊತ್ತು ಕಸ್ತೂರಿ ಪರಿಮಳ

@Facts_Kan @saravedi_7 @Daffodils1231 The facts seem to have taken a creative detour.

Mojini V1, V2, V3 and so on.. What is the use if you can't provide one reliable service? @krishnabgowda It has been several days, and all revenue dept websites are broken. IT capital, and this world-class e-governance. Take some responsibility.

Today in the Lok Sabha, I introduced my Private Member’s Bill to establish a permanent States & Union Territories Reorganisation Commission to ensure any future creation or alteration of States/UTs is guided by objective data (including Census), clear definitions, administrative efficiency, economic viability, national unity, and the will of the people. India deserves a structured process, not ad-hoc decisions.

[Siddhartha Speaks @SAMaskeri]

Ah, the “go back to your native place” argument — always delivered with great confidence and zero history.

Karwar was part of the Bombay Presidency and Mangalore–Udupi were part of the Madras Presidency long before Karnataka as a state even existed.
We were on this coast before the Mysore Kingdom had any claim here — in fact, it never did over all of Coastal Karnataka.
And as for “running here,” the region you’re talking about has been home to Konkani speakers for centuries — traders, priests, farmers, soldiers — long before the Portuguese or modern borders.

If we follow your logic,
where will you send the Tuluvas? The Kodavas? Or anyone else whose linguistic group spans multiple borders?

History isn’t as simple as your slogans.
We’re on our land. We’ve always been. You’re just late to the conversation.

Bengaluru deserves scientific urban planning, not ‘political engineering’.

This expert endorsement being showcased in favour of Tunnel Road was done by a Congress party spokesperson - first a politician, only later an engineer. And unsurprisingly, it concludes that the ONLY way to decongest Bengaluru is to build tunnels and multi-layer roads. This itself reveals the lack of understanding of urban planning and transportation science.

Opposition to Tunnel Roads is not because of any civil engineering impossibility.

It is because - these tunnels will NOT decongest Bengaluru. It will make matters worse.

Spending thousands of crores on a private-vehicle VIP corridor - that does not serve public transport - is fundamentally wrong.

When transit studies show that mass rapid transport can move close to 70,000 people per hour per direction, it is foolish to invest in expensive tunnels that only moves 1800 cars per hour per direction.

Why spend huge money to benefit a tiny minority of vehicle owners?

Instead of encouraging public transport, why are we subsidising private car ownership?

This report also conveniently ignores environmental impact, hydrology risks and geological threats.

The Lalbagh Rock formation is 3 billion years old - yet no serious study has been done on the consequences of tunnelling beneath it.

That is why we have demanded an independent scientific study by:

• National Institute of Rock Mechanics
• Geological Survey of India
• National Institute of Hydrology
• Central Institute of Mining & Fuel Research

But instead of independent assessment, we are handed a political endorsement by a party worker masquerading as an engineer.

The report also conveniently lies about project costing. It says the per kilometre cost for the tunnel will be 440 crores. The Congress expert could have at least read the DPR once - which picks the cost at over 1000 crores per kilometre. But who cares for facts?

For a resource limited country like ours, every rupee must move more people, more efficiently and more safely.
Tunnels for cars will not solve congestion. Mass Rapid transport will.

After the CM awarded himself a “dummy world record certificate” from a non-existent firm, we now have the DCM awarding a “project expert endorsement” by a Congress party engineer - a perfect continuation of Congress’s 2023 ಕಿವಿ ಮೇಲೆ ಹೂವು campaign.

Suddenly all become linguists with their tiny brains. Ignore agoli raje!

[ಕಾಂತಬಾರೆ! @agoliraje]

If this is the language based activism; making low iq memes and disrespecting smaller languages is your only strength instead of having self respecting movement,
It is doomed to fail, also remember there is always a bigger fish.

[Deepak Padukone Manjunath @imdeepakpadukon]

@PFKodial You should try without those extra monitor and boxes. It would be great series. 😅

[Deepak Padukone Manjunath @imdeepakpadukon]

Before any underground car only corridor start this seems important @DKShivakumar please concentrate completing existing projects that choke Bangalore. #Koramangala #Ejipura. It’s like this since 2017, a decade project. #Bangalore

Wishing everyone a Happy World Folklore Day!

Here's a tribute to the rich heritage of Tulunāḍ on this day.

A word cloud of Tulu culture, language, and indigenous traditions, shaped into the map of the region.

At #Udupi Shree #Krishna mutt,

The following #Tulu phrase written right at the top:

śrī kṛṣṇa dēvernā darśanog tādi

Meaning: The path to the darshan of Lord Krishna.

@udayavani_web Are you a newspaper from Manipal ?

[Nishant Ratnakar @nishantr]

The late #Finnish Folklorist Lauri Honko, who led the team that undertook the first major textualisation of the great #Tulu oral Epic of Siri, had even written a travelogue in the Finnish language recounting his experience in #Tulunāḍ, the land of #siri

#pāḍdana

[Nishant Ratnakar @nishantr]

This has to be the most skewed ratio of our times.

19,500 mother tongues in #India, but only 22 #languages are protected here: either by the 8th schedule of the #Indianconstitution or by 'selectively' forming states on linguistic basis.

Our policies kill native languages!

[Adith Kotian  @AdithKotian]

@tulu_tcrf (R.) invites all Tuluvas to write about their mother in Tulu, not as a competition, but a beautiful way to celebrate our language. Selected writings may get published in books and receive certificates. Let’s keep Tulu alive with our words. Everyone can join!! #Tulu ❤️

[Deepak Padukone Manjunath @imdeepakpadukon]

@malnadkoos The use of derogatory terms is unnecessary. Tuluvas have made significant contributions to K'taka & India. The imposition of Kannada on Tulu speakers has been a reality for decades. If Tulu were given equal status, the current state of linguistic duality would not have existed.
