Basavalinga Pattadevaru calls for united fight against Hindi imposition

The Hindu  

Nadoja Basavalinga Pattadevaru, the head of Bhalki Hiremath and president of the 21st Bidar District Kannada Sahithya Sammelana, called upon the people of Karnataka for an organised fight against what he called ‘the imposition of Hindi’ on Kannada. Delivering his presidential address at the literary conference held at Channabasava Pattadevaru Rangmandir in Bidar on Saturday, the seer spoke in detail about the “attack of North on the South” and stressed on the need to develop national leaders in the southern states as a means of assertion. ‘Injustice to Karnataka’ Minister for Forest, Ecology and Environment and Bidar in-charge Eshwara Khandre highlighted how the Union government was meting out financial injustice to Karnataka by presenting certain facts. It, however, gives annually ₹2 lakh crores to Uttar Pradesh whose tax contribution to the Union government is lesser than Karnataka’s.
