โ€œYou People Are North Indian Beggarsโ€: Karnataka Auto Driver In Viral Video

Karnataka

โ€œThis is Karnataka. You have to speak in Kannada. You people are north Indian beggarsโ€. The agitated driver says.

A video of an Auto Rickshaw driver and a passengerโ€™s blistering exchange of words over which language to converse (Kannada or Hindi) is making rounds on the internet.

Ironically, in the 26-second clip, both were heard arguing in English. โ€ Why should I speak in Hindi.โ€ The driver says. โ€œOkay, okay, okayโ€. The passenger responds.

โ€œThis is Karnataka. You have to speak in Kannada. You people are north Indian beggarsโ€. The agitated driver says.

โ€œWhy. We will not speak in Kannada.โ€ The equally angry passenger responds.

โ€œThis is our land, not your land. You have to speak in Kannada. Why should I speak in Hindi?โ€ The driver says to which the passenger says โ€œOk, Ok, Okโ€

Alleged Hindi imposition has been an emotive issue in South India. Last year, the southern states reacted outrageously to union Home Minister Amit Shahโ€™s appeal to broaden the reach of Hindi to all parts of India, calling it โ€œthe only language that can unify the entire countryโ€.
