(MENAFN- Live Mint) In recent times, Bengaluru has gained fame for not-so-good reasons. Be its traffic woes or a brawl with auto-rickshaw drivers, incidents have garnered the nationwide attention. But in a latest, a social media post is raising people's eyebrows as it claimed, "Bengaluru is closed for north India and neighbouring states who don't want to learn Kannada."
The post has sparked a heated debate and reignited the Kannada language row on social media. Though Bengaluru is home to multi-cultural people, with people from all across India coming to work in the IT sector, some advocates suggest people learn the language 'Kannada'.
