Devanāgarī's supra-local status has historical roots in the early forms of Nāgarī and its prototypes were often used outside of north India, e.g. a script known as Nandī-nāgarī and other similar northern-style scripts were sporadically used in addition to the local scripts...1/4

This is incorrect. The mnemonic part is folk etymology. The names given are only applicable to Tamil Nadu. Origins go back to the Natyashastra of Bharata muni. Its history in Karnataka is also ancient & hoary.

Stubbornness of Hindi-speakers to not learn kannaDa in KarNATaka and demanding that the natives speak in Hindi is purely attitudinal. It has nothing to do with nationalism or religion. Everything to do with arrogance & entitlement
I know many migrants from Karnataka & Tamil Nadu who live in Mumbai. None of them speaks Marathi. They all speak Hindi with domestic helpers, shopkeepers, cab/auto drivers, dabbawallas. Opposition to Hindi in Karnataka & TN is purely political. Kerala has no issues with Hindi.
Whatever would we have done without the Mughals!
Ahem! These early references to asafoetida/ ಇಂಗು/ಹಿಂಗು iṅgu/ hiṅgu in kannaDa literature surely don’t matter. They must all be post-Mughal interpolations! But humour me anyway please

By applying same logic as Tamil, Sanskrit has 544 letters. Add the half nasal and it becomes 589 letters!
For classical kannaDa we get 648 letters (18 vowels + 36 consonants multiplied by 18).
For sankēti- we have 850! 👑
(25 vowels + 34consonants multiplied by 25)🤴
Why should a vegetarian be ok with touching non-veg? Why should anyone be forced to eat with people eating non-veg food if they don’t want to?
Guilt-tripping won’t work every time. Some people are obsessed with Brahmins & their habits. And everything isn’t discrimination 🙄
@a_srinidhi
@arish_vr
I just noticed a certain brahmin finickiness when it comes to eating - I shall not touch non veg, I shall not dine with non veg people etc. These are milder versions of untouchability. That's my take. In reality, I'm a sole vegetarian in a non veg family.

Sorry Sarvesh ji, but this sense of entitlement & self-righteousness is exactly where the problem is. Hindi became “national language” by deceit & strong arming- by decades of Congress govts & now BJP. Hindi-speakers need to wake up & smell the coffee.
Hindi is the National Language of India- not appointed in this role by constitutional authority, but by her historical development as the largest lingua franca of common Indian people.
Haters may hate it to their heart’s content, but this is a reality.

kannaDiga-
1-one who’s from kannaDa nADu/pradESa
2-one who has kannaDa as mother tongue
The definitions are “either/or”, not “and”.
So every tuLuva, koDava, konkaNi (in karNATaka) & sankEti (I am one) is a kannaDiga. There is no mutual conflict here. There needn’t/shouldn’t be

This “barking” Is so fake! No, humans that develop rabies do NOT bark like dogs. That is so not a symptom. Remember- any mammal can carry & transmit the rabies virus.
If a human with rabies bites an uninfected dog & the dog gets rabies, will the dog start talking like a human 🤦🏻♂️

42% not 57. By QT logic, Hindians should learn every other Indian lang
KannaDa (there’s an a at the end) is spoken by overwhelming majority in KarNATaka. So by QT logic, immigrants should learn kannaDa
All Hindus should practise Christianity as world majority is christian
For those that keep calling the concept and name “Hindu” as barely a century old, here is a kannaDa inscription from Saka year 1575 i.e. 1653 CE that explicitly refers to Hindu & MusalmAna
I don’t understand this obsession to develop a common script for all Indian languages. It may serve some advantages- but destroys a whole load of history and culture with the current scripts. Plus, I note that this proposed common script is heavily Devanagari and Tamil centric
