Nothing to be surprised by this Nabila Jamal #TulunadState demand has been there since 1956 because of its unique geographic, linguistic &cultural identity. Very well said by the gentleman, time has come to voice out the injustice done from decades to #Tulu & demand statehood

It's not at all funny @nabilajamal_ A responsible media house like @IndiaToday should respect people's opinions and do research before making any story about a particular region. #TulunadState #TulutoClassicalLanguage #Tuluto8thSchedule #TuluOfficialinKA @sardesairajdeep

@nabilajamal_ Dont call it tulunadu because we kundapurians are not known for tulu langauge

@nabilajamal_ In that sense why call whole of the state as Karnataka? South Payyanur to north Ankola border share same culture, geo, Daiva beliefs from ages, called #Tulunad whether you like it or not. Language demography changes for various reasons. Eg: how Tulu dialect Bellare got vanished.

@nabilajamal_ Why that reporter is laughing!. She is trying to ignore that answer. This is not how the reporter should work. She should have asked the reason behind for that separate statehood.

@nabilajamal_ To protect our culture Tuḷunāḍụ State is the only option. No enmity for Karnataka and Kerala. Simple policy you be happy and let us be happy.

@nabilajamal_ Agree.. To save tulunad from Islamic invasion we need it as a separate state...

@nabilajamal_ Yes, the demand for separate #TulunadState is increasing. Telangana & AP are linguistically similar still their demand for separate statehood have fulfilled. When Tulunaad is geographically, linguistically & culturally different from that of karunad, forming a new one is correct.

@nabilajamal_ Well said, we need separate state for Tulu region, we are paying highest tax,in return we are not getting anything from Karnataka government

@nabilajamal_ I am from surathkal and dont want separate state. Coastal karnataka is badly hit by communal politics and i dont want my childrens to suffer wt v went through. Its d leaders who r incompetent 2 gt d projects. And dos r d leaders who openly endorse to vote based on communal basis

@nabilajamal_ First learn to control mallus in your region.. They are everywhere in coastal areas. Then dream of having a separate state..
