Lingo war of Tamil & Kannada 2025

 

Recently during the launch of His movie " Thug Life" , Actor & politician Kamal Hassan stirred a controversy by claiming Kannada is the Child of Tamil. Kannada natives took this as an insult to their mother tongue. 

Thugs of TN & Karnataka fighting a Lingo War on Tamil & Kannada connection. Ironically Dravidian Tamil's consider Kannada native EV Rama samy naicker as " Thanthai" meaning Father. Then the Draividian model politicians may even claim, Periyar's mother tongue is Tamil's mother tongue too. 

When RCB won 1st IPL title - slogan " Ee saala Cup Naamdu " become famous, where the word "Naamdu" resonates with Tamil's "Namade" meaning "ours". Modi always tells international forums " Tamil as the world's oldest Language "

Kannadigas don't fight over lingo because you are also "Naamdu" . Listen to MGR's unifying song " Naalai Namade Naalum Namade" 

Sakritease in one of our blogs https://sakri-tease.blogspot.com/2025/03/sanskrits-mother-tongue-is-tamizh.html have explained how Sanskrit evolved from Tamizh. Since Tamil & Kannada are spoken in the adjacent landscape there's lots of give & take. But since Tamil is already established as the oldest language of India, it is natural, most of the neighbouring languages have evolved out of Tamizh over due course of time.

Even within Tamilnadu, Tamizh has different lingos like Kongu lingo ( Around Coimbatore Districts -western belt ), Madurai Lingo , Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi lingos etc... 

Fighting for supremacy is utter waste of time as present day Tamizh is nowhere near the original language spoken several thousand years ago. Even the letters have changed. 

Only consistent thing is change. Accepting & adopting changes is part of evolution.

No language is inferior to any other Language. 

That is the Basic wisdom, we should have realized by now.

P.s. After writing this post, we received the message about the stampede deaths outside Bengaluru Chinnasamy Cricket stadium, while RCB celebrated its maiden IPL victory in Bengaluru.

Fanaticism Kills is the message. Dont elevate Cricketers or Cinema stars more than their ordinary status. Every Life is valuable.
