IndiaTimes Thursday, 28 December 2023
The Congress government in Karnataka is planning to enforce the allocation of 60% signboard space in all business establishments to Kannada, replacing the existing 50:50 ratio. The government announced this after activists vandalised signboards in Bengaluru. The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike has directed all businesses to adhere to the new rule or face action. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah stated that the government would amend the Kannada Language Comprehensive Development Act, 2022, to ensure the new signboard ratio.

Flawed Push for Urdu in Karnataka: How Siddaramaiah’s Move Risks Alienating State's Social Fabric

In a state like Karnataka, where language has been a deeply emotional issue, the recent mandate by the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government to make proficiency in Urdu a criterion for Anganwadi teachers in Mudigere and Chikkamagaluru has stirred a fresh wave of controversy. The decision, which has already sparked protests and political outcry, not only threatens to alienate a section of the state's population but also risks further damaging the delicate social fabric of Karnataka. #KarnatakaPolitics #Siddaramaiah #UrduLanguage #SocialFabric #LanguagePolitics #CulturalIdentity #RegionalUnity #Inclusion #CommunityRelations #EducationPolicy #KarnatakaEducation #LanguageDebate #SocialHarmony #StatePolitics #DiversityMatters ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.194~
