This is bound to happen when the whole kannada film industry is fighting among themselves, the so called producers who are no less rowdies and goondas, are themselves distributors for many non kannada films , they will benefit by the CCI rules. Kannada can only boast of the star directors like Girish kasaravalli who has won 4 swarna kamal only next to Satyajit ray who has won 5 swarna kamal, Kasaravalli will one day equal if not surpass Ray. Kannadigas can be proud of that, which no one can boast. We are always hopeful one day kannada films will regain its glory of the past.

Many times Kannadigas do certain things without realizing the long term affect that it would have on their own existence. Viewing other language movies is one of them. The gullible Kannadiga innocence is well exploited by other industries. Initially, maybe Kannadigas thought watching Telugu and Tamil movies is fine once in a while. Nobody had an issue with that….but when as a mass people flock to these movies – the end result is what we are seeing. It is not to do with movies alone…gradually the spoken language will also be affected. One may see people preferring to speak in Telugu / Tamil with our local population and we Kannadigas will be forced to respond. Politicians may start speaking in these languages in public meetings. Processions – Cutouts of other language stars may begin to happen – pushing the Kanndiga pride further down. Next Generation amongst Kannadigas will just shun the language. Someone has methodically and systematically crafted the Kannada downfall starting with movies. I refuse to accept that Kannada movies are not good. Even good kannada movies are shunned by non kannadigas in Bengaluru. How many outsiders watched Mungaaru Male and many of Girish Kasarvalli movies ?? Such is the indifference towards Kannada. Unless our actors, politicians, producers, distributors who are sincerely concerned about Kannada sit together and discuss with drastic measures….the writing is on the wall. We need to filter out the “double crossers” amongst ourselves who while continuing to be within the system – work clandestinely against. A Gokak kind of movement is highly overdue. Who will take Dr Rajkumar's position in the event that the Gokak Chaluvali is revived ?

The Indian Embassy should take this up seriously and issue hard copy warnings to all tourists bound for Thailand, at every airport, so they lose business and correct themselves. Thailand is known cheats, duplicates, and con men in every major market, and tourists should be aware and alert all the time.

Its no use complaining to the seniors, as the enquiry would just be a eye wash, as everyone is involved.
Its better to file a police complaint, and have criminal charges bought aginst this government official.

The KFI should ask questions as to why even Kannadigas prefer to see non-kannada movies. There is something fundamentally wrong. Talented kannada artists are moving to the Tamil / Telugu industry (Prakash Raj / Arjun / Kishore, etc.) At this rate if KFI cannot feel the pulse of the people, they better shut down the industry and start producing movies from Madras as they used to 20 years back, then atleast they can save on overheads, and artists and young directors would interact with others from Tamil and Telugu industries and bring out some quality films, just like the old days when the industry was based in Madras.

The cops in KR Puram are the worst..They arent bothered about traffic jams but a crowd of 5 policemen stand just opposite the KR puram hanging bridge in the intersection and squeeze the motorists ...I have seen these guys also stand opposite the BORUKA in Mahadevpura and instead of ensuring better traffic they stand behind trees and catch the people ..we think they are more interested in filling their coffers than ensuring better traffic sense..

Looks like the noise, traffic and pollution has made even the toughest cops like miserable. This has little to do with who this police officer believes is to be blamed but it is because of the over population of Bangalore. I can remember even several decades back we had Bullet motorcycles which belonged to the cops themselves make an unusual distinct sound. We even had vegetable and fruit vendors shout loudly every day....we actually would wait for them on hot summer days to eat some nice juicy bananas/oranges or drink tender coconut water. And not to forget the beat and whistle of the nigh constable doing the rounds. We never felt the sound was disturbing then but today even the cops cannot stand it means there is something terribly wrong with our city.

Refer to the article "Looking for a quiet locality"? dated 22nd April 2012. The DIG KV Sharath Chandra should be hailed for his stand in controlling the nuisance in the locality. Its very sad for the media to take a stand against such a positive move on a lawful right of the residents to have a quiet life in a resident locality. Fail to understand how it violates right of some individuals to create nuisance in the RESIDENTIAL locality and calling this a RIGHT to disturb others. All the Best Mr.Sharath , keep up the good work.

Political animosity will prove dangerous to the TMC party,and it is suffice to say that TMC party made the communist party to ignominious for its misrule all these days,if the TMC is to be believed. But taking revenge on everything about the communist party is not fair.

All these whims and fancies do not stand if some1 files a court case. Pets dogs, reverse horns are absolutely one personal liking. Though shrill horns are illegal, rest all are forced on the whims and fancies of the DIG. Seems India is going the Taliban path when every1 with whims and fancies try to implement their own rules.Good that Bangalore mirror has taken out this article, now the arrogant DIG can be made quiet.

What our society is up to? I think the real value of love and affection has become a scarce commodity! Search for wealth and status has created a big dent in young achievers married life. Doubting the integrity of each other has pushed us look for sci-fi gadgets to surveillance on each other and embittering ourselves. The simple reason- we have set our priorities wrong. We have stopped believing ethos and cultural heritage our forefathers have taught. The decadent society is deceived and trapped in the euphoria and fanfare of western culture. The revulsion is due to the degrading morality of our society, which is constantly behind making monies only. We are setting up wrong examples for our generations to come. So sad!

It is absolutely correct what the DIG Sharath Chandra says. The heavy two- wheeler and the reverse horn noise is more irritating not only to the aged but to other non-aged also. People who use reverse horns are cruel, uncivilized and arrogant by nature. They are worse than cannibals and man eaters. We also face it; unfortunately we do not have the DIG as our neighbor. I wish the police educate people not to use reverse horns. Thought, at the outset, it seems the DIG is misusing his power and position, one way it is good to silence the residential colonies from the messy noise of reverse horns and heavy bullet like bikes. By the way, can we one DIG living in all residential colonies?

As a foreigner living in Thailand, I can confirm that these things go on every single day, with the connivance of local authorities, who shamelessly profit from it. Far from an exotic 'paradise', Thailand is one of the most corrupt hell-holes on this planet. Come here at your own peril.
