Mangaluru: Campaign to promote Tulu, to include in Eighth Schedule continues


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (ANK)

Mangaluru, Oct 15: For over a year there have been several campaigns conducted all over the coastal belt for the recognition of Tulu language. Politicians irrespective of any parties, celebrities, organizations have shown support to include Tulu language in Eighth Schedule.

Moreover, people are taking up initiative in promoting Tulu language by learning Tulu scripts and it can be noticed in many places that names are written in Tulu script in order to promote the language.

 

An organization, Jai Tulunad, has even started free online Tulu script learning classes where large number of people are registering themselves to learn the Tulu script.

Two days ago, Mangaluru South MLA Vedavyasa Kamath had put up Tulu script nameplate at his office and received wide appreciation from the public for his initiative.

Kankanady-Valencia corporator Sandeep Garodi has also put up his name in Tulu script on his letterhead and locals of Garodi have installed a banner in Tulu script congratulating Prakash Garodi on becoming vice president of Mangaluru south BJP Yuva Morcha.

Speaking to Daijiworld, Sandeep Garodi said, "Today everyone speaks about including Tulu language in the Eighth Schedule. Meanwhile, everyone should take up the initiative in making this happen. I have put my name in Tulu script on my letterhead and I hope this will help inspire others to follow the same. People will notice it and they will be keen in learning the script and bring changes everywhere by writing names in Tulu script."

    Even otherwise it has now become necessary to speak Tulu in Govt. offices and public places. Those who speak Kannada are considered to have come from out of the twin districts. So in a way Tulu is being promoted unofficially. What we now need is official recognition of the language.

    First create more and more job opportunities and improve infrastructure in the Mangalore City. Every year many youngstars are leaving the Mangalore city and migrating to other bigger cities for employment purpose. Its not the time to always go back to history and think about that today. Such campaigns can be done later.

    Our Tulu 400 years back language

    Tulu, Konkani, Beary, what more ?

    Teach your mother tongue yourself to your children people, so that they will have one subject less in school. Why do you want everything at government expense ? Will their specialization in any of these languages entitle them for a career ??

    Isn't knowing Kannada, English, Hindi sufficient ?

    Malayalam is at par with Kannada, taught compulsorily in Kerala and optional in lieu of Kannada in border region schools. Tulu, Konkani, Beary are a kind of dialects.

    Fake ??? Well, sort of.

    Given to Adani to manage but he sublet it to a German (or Austrian) company to manage.

    Look at Modi government's kartooten ! Couldn't there be a clause that sub-letting makes the agreement null & void ? Now Adani makes probably 20-30% on the contract, that too in foreign currency. Did Modi government search for Adabi/Ambanis' Swiss accounts, or is he only after one faily ??
