Linguist Ganesh Devy has called for cultural unity among Dravidian languages. “We should all realise that no language is our enemy. Tamil or any other South Indian language is not the enemy of Kannada,” he said in Dharwad on June 22.
“There is no point in harbouring hostility towards speakers of Tamil or any other southern language, or vice versa. Our real opposition should be directed towards Hindi imposition,” he said after inaugurating a symposium ‘The Identity of the Kannada Language organised by the Karnatak Vidyavardhakh Sangha.
