Double Standard of Karnataka towards its own minority language - Tulu
The Karnataka government’s neglectful attitude toward its own language, Tulu, remains a glaring example of linguistic discrimination. Despite officially permitting Tulu to be taught as an optional third language across the Tulunad region in 2010, the government has failed to provide the necessary support to sustain this initiative. No dedicated Tulu teachers have been recruited to date. Instead, it is the passion and dedication of existing teachers that have kept the language alive in schools. These teachers, without any additional remuneration, have taken it upon themselves to teach Tulu alongside their primary subjects.
In stark contrast, the government actively supports third-language education in Hindi, Sanskrit, Urdu, and several other languages, including the recruitment of full-time teachers for these subjects. Such partiality is a disservice to Tulu, which holds significant cultural and historical importance within Karnataka.
The Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Academy, which once provided a modest honorary salary of ₹3,000 per month to Tulu teachers, has ceased this support due to inadequate government funding. As a result, many schools have discontinued Tulu instruction altogether.
To compound the issue, certain activists and government officials are now advocating for a two-language policy that prioritizes Kannada and English, effectively sidelining Tulu in the education system. This stance further alienates a language that has deep roots in Karnataka’s Tulunad region.
Despite the region being an integral part of Karnataka, the government has consistently failed to take meaningful steps to preserve and promote Tulu. This neglect not only undermines the linguistic heritage of the state but also alienates the Tulu-speaking community, who continue to fight for their language’s rightful place in Karnataka’s educational and cultural landscape.

Swiss authorities have frozen more than $310 million in funds across multiple Swiss bank accounts as part of a money laundering and securities forgery investigation into Adani, dating back as early as 2021.
Prosecutors detailed how an Adani frontman invested in opaque BVI/Mauritius & Bermuda funds that almost exclusively owned Adani stocks, according to newly released Swiss criminal court records reported by Swiss media outlet @news_gotham.

Out of 5 semiconductor plants government approved, including the one today, 4 has been allocated to Gujarat. Looks like under current Gujarat model, Prime Minister would also double up as Gujarat Chief Minister. He is the Prime Minister of India but also acting as a Chief Minister of Gujarat.
There are 28 states in India.

Women should feel safe at work.
Women should feel safe walking alone in public.
Women should feel safe at home.
Women should feel safe online.
Women should feel safe in public transportation.
Women should feel safe EVERYWHERE.
A womans safety is the job of her govt, her administration, her institutions, her faculty, her education systems, her authorities, her courts, her country to enforce and systemically guarantee. It should have nothing to do with her hours, wardrobe or anything else. It’s OUR job.
Today, we remember Vilasrao Deshmukh on his death anniversary, a visionary leader who served Maharashtra with dedication and grace.
His contributions as Chief Minister and his deep commitment to the state's development continue to inspire us.
UP is miles and miles away from developed states of India. But BJP is very good in setting narrative of UP model. It is surprising that it has never spoken about a Maharashtra or Karnataka model, where it is ruling or has ruled in the past.
A Maharashtra or Karnataka is decades ahead of Uttar Pradesh. Political narratives should not be allowed to overshadow reality.
