Linguistic recognition debates in Karnataka

Overview

The Karnataka Cabinet officially granted Tulu status as the state’s second additional official language, specifically for the Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts. Chief Minister DK Shivakumar announced the decision alongside various development projects for the coastal region.

Following this decision, the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) has called on the government to grant similar official language status to Urdu. SDPI officials noted that while they welcome the recognition of Tulu, the government should demonstrate a similar commitment to Urdu and Urdu-medium education, citing census data regarding the state’s Urdu-speaking population.
