While govt blames closure on parents preferring English medium, educators & activists say that administration is not putting enough efforts to upgrade infra in these schools.
I was surprised when Andhra Pradesh minister Nara Lokesh and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan advocated for Hindi—at a time when states like Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are opposing its imposition.

I was watching without any bias. I must ask – What was the point of this video ? Who is this intended for? Does it address the root cause or even talk about ?
This is very muddled. with so many inaccuracies, misinformation and crudely formed opinions. Unfortunately, apart from Shekar-ji himself, i have not seen anyone else in ThePrint handle this kind of complex issues properly. But he re-tweeted this article – Disappointing.
Let me just pick one out many mistakes of this video. Lets set the record right. No Auto driver slapped because someone did not speak Kannada – which case is this?? Provide reference.
Its lost cause to talk about Kamal’s statement. Factually incorrect. I am worried about some poor fellow (could be his fan) who might think Kamal’ statement was right, and might get into trouble repeating it somewhere. We don’t need Kamal’s Toxic love. Personally, i don’t care about his apology, but he surely has to recant his statement.
The hate Bengaluru is receiving is just not right.
A movie star makes a cynical but effective PR move. And we again get this preachy article running us down … Starving Indians knife each other abt language !!
