Kannadigas oppose imposition of Hindi, #WeWantTwoLanguagePolicy trends on Twitter

Bengaluru: With the introduction of new education policy, many Kannadigas have opposed the mandatory three language policy and begun a Twitter campaign against the imposition of Hindi as the third language

A campaign demanding for the bilingual policy has been launched and hashtag #WeWantTwoLanguagePolicy is trending on Twitter.

Hence, there should be English as a second langue and there should not be an imposition of Hindi in Karnataka.

Netizens said that bilingual policy should be introduced in Karnataka and the choice to learn any other languages is up to the individual’s choice. There should not by any attempt to forcefully make someone learn other languages.

Many celebrities including actor Vasisht N. Simha, Nikhil Kumaraswamy, have also opposed Hindi imposition in Karnataka.
