A few days in KA, With my little knowledge in Kannada, I had the courage to speak with the locals. They talked to me like any other native about their life, place etc. Knowing an additional language opens up some hidden gems.

Kerala and Karnataka are the politically the biggest losers in South, absolutely no bargaining power because of dependence on national parties. Take a look at the leverage that TN and Andhra has, regional parties give more power.

No party getting majority is always good from the point of administrative federalism/decentralization and power balance. Coalition by definition is power-decentralized.

Kannada script is something I learned without even realising. All I did was occasionally use a transliteration keyboard layout to type something. Though I learned the Tamil script at the age of 12 and spends more time with it, It is still hard for me to read.

According to Hindi aplogists, India should use Hindi as the medium of instruction in Higher Education by replacing English. What difference does it make to a Malayali, a Kannadiga or a Tamilian? Atleast English provides better opportunities. #StopHindilmposition

Spread of abrahamic religions in North India was different from that in Kerala, this is why they find it hard to understand the homogenous cultural identity of Malayalis that incorporates different religions.

Kerala is the least linguistically diverse state in India. Despite Tamil being the second most spoken language, it is not receiving as much govt catering as Kannada because it is spread across districts, being less condensed.

Actually Malayalam is more closer:almost 90-95% Sanskrit, followed by Telugu & Kannada at 80-85%. Tamil too has significant Sanskrit- the common vanakkam is from Sans. Vandanam. It’s the way words change in Tamil make it seem different. All languages in India are Sanskrit derived

സഖാവ് (sakhāv) is a word used mostly by leftists to address one another as comrade. Intrestingly, sakhāv is masculine and its feminine version is sakhi. However in Malayalam sakhāv became a gender neutral term. While sakhi is mostly confined to 'romantic partner'.
