There’s a 3rd world inside India: Speakers of small, unrecognized languages. Ignored by Delhi. Silenced by state capitals. No Article 347 rights. No mother tongue education. No media. They face double colonization—by Hindi & dominant regional tongues. #LinguisticJustice

After Kantara, KFI risks overusing tribal rituals for profit. Sacred gods may soon appear as stage props—like beggars in jaathras—if commercialization continues. What was divine could be reduced to spectacle.

Yes, the 1117 CE Polali inscription is in Kannada. But just a walkable distance away, in the very same town, the Veeranarayana temple has a Tulu inscription of the same ruler Kulashekhara! When the king himself issued inscriptions in Tulu, who are you to belittle it?

@huliyaneralu @Crystalfacts321 Just as the fish emblem was universal for coastal powers, the title “Pandya” was widespread in India for prestige purposes. So neither the shared emblem nor the name is enough to prove a real connection between the Tamil Pandyas and the Alupas.

@huliyaneralu @Crystalfacts321 When rulers in different continents and centuries — from Greece to Korea to Tulunadu — all independently chose fish emblems, it shows that the symbol’s meaning is rooted in shared coastal/maritime realities, not in specific dynastic connections

Alupas who were single most prominent dynasty of Tulunad were tributaries to Chalukyas, Kadambas, Karnatas, Hoysalas and Rattakuta empires. Be based. Be a Kannadiga.

Tulu films have over 50 screens, and hits like Girgit run for 200+ days, not just in Tulunadu but in Mumbai, Dubai, Bangalore, and Qatar. It's not a small industry as you think—that's not the reason.

@vijeshetty @RajbShettyOMK @PrajwalDevarajj @GuruGanigaFilms @gurudath_ganiga @shetty_rishab @rakshitshetty @anupsbhandari @jpthuminad @Kiranraj61 @nirupbhandari But the market size, screens, and returns for Tulu films are still limited compared to Kannada films, which naturally affects investment decisions. We need more support to spreading our roots, not division.

A systematic way to push Tulunad's identity as Karavali in Karnataka without giving zero credit to the core culture of the land. All want Tulunad culture to mint money but no one wants to make it in #Tulu or bilingual or at least #DubbingInTulu Shame ! #MakeMovieinTulu

@Retiredraintree Yenkle Chuku buku rail gobbodu

@Retiredraintree If there were not Udupi hotel concept Tulunad would not be like Kerala ,as bramhins make 5-10% population whereas in Kerala they are just 1% While Udupi has 10% Brahmin population ,it's said that local fishermen community got Brahmin deeksha from madhvacharya

@AanchalRaw3702 😂

I MARRIED THE GUY WHO HATED ME IN SCHOOL I was the kind of girl who didn't want to be friends with boys. A nerdy shy guy tried to share his lunch with me and i accidentally broke his pokemon tiffin box lol.. I think I almost made him cry that day and he never spoke to me again.. Cut to 15 Years later, I stumbled upon the same nerdy guy on jeevansathi. His first text was literally ‘will you ever buy me a new tiffin box?’ 😭😭 Hamari school time mei dosti toh nahi hui par han hamari shaadi zarur hogyi. Happy Friendship day Pati dev ❤️

@everyday_tulu Real kannada people whole heartedly support Tulu

Tulu flag hoisted in Mandya — a land where 90% speak Kannada! That’s the spirit of Tuluvas. No matter where we go, we carry our identity with pride. You can suppress, but never erase us! 🔥🟥⬛ #Tulunad #TuluPride #TuluFlag #TulunadState

@dumbupole Shocked to know that his birthplace was bhadhravathi

Exactly, sir. We don’t mind whether people watch Tulu films or if others are even aware of them, they’re just suited to our region. I don’t get this whole Randi Rona from certain people spewing venom and taking out frustration on Tuluvas for not watching non-hit Kannada films. 🫣

@TrumannNeumann @WeDravidians Konkani Brahmins are preists only at venkataramana temples.. which said to established by them only

@WeDravidians In kerala they dont, since the local namputhiris and iyers shun it.

@Prathikthethith In Tulunad farmers build traditional checkdams called" Katta" across such steams called thōdus Due to kattas not only water gets stores but also it preserves ground water level

Suggestions Invited: During Monsoon the Small Stream near our Plantation flows with full might, but when the summer comes the stream dries up. Want your suggestions on how as a farmer I can save the Monsoon River Water till Summer. Please do comment! Thanks 👍

@everyday_tulu Kudla

“Dakshina Kannada” was imposed during reorganization, ignoring local culture. Time to rename it to Kudla (Tulu) or Mangaluru (historical). Names must reflect identity — not linguistic politics. #RenameDK #TuluNadu #RespectLocalCulture #TulunadState

🤝 Tuluvas Stand in Solidarity As we raise our voice for Tulu, we also extend full support to the linguistic rights of other indigenous communities in South India: 🟢 Kodava 🟢 Beary 🟢 Koraga 🟢 Badaga We believe each of these unique languages deserves preservation, recognition, and respect. Language diversity is our strength. 🌍 Let’s make history for Tulu language and identity 🗣️🌿 #TuluOfficialLanguage #Article347 #Tulunadu — Tulu Article 347 Petition Team

@namma_vjy Verry unfortunate

I resisted hard, but unable to ignore this. A famous Karnataka weather handle is being managed by group of people. Frequent tragedies happen and details of the same posted in this handle. Old posts are deleted. Not sure what is the truth any more? Not sure what is genuine and what is not? In the past had posted heartfelt message after a tragedy on this handle. Losing faith is humanity! #KarnatakaRains
