    What is the difference b/w Kannadigas & Konkani/Tulu speaking people.?
  • ks shmabhavi (guest)
    Tulu culture is completely differnt from kannada culture.tulu people are matrilineal.follow a very ditinct form of hinduism speak tulu an ancient dravidian language,and are more prosperous than kannada people .the problem is kannada people have forcefully tried to impose their culture on tulu people by saying tulu is a dialect of kananda.therfore there have been movements since 1990 people of udupi mangalore and kasargod are asking the central government to create a separate state of tulu nadu to preserve tulu cuture.konkanis are migrants of goa and they are in complete harmony with tulu people the original inhabitants
  • Kumaranna (guest)
    How come a new language comes now? There is no language called tulu. Can u show any script if this is a language?Coastal kannadigas are called tulus. its not even a dialect of kannada, but kannada itself. They use some foreign loan words since contact with foreigners. If you feel u r different then go out of karnataka. Its our land . land of kannadigas
  • Kumaranna (guest)
    The only difference between these people and other kannadigas are they were previously Buddhists while we were jains before absorbing hinduism
  • Ishita (guest)
    Udupi is my native place. Its a beautiful place with beautiful temples, whenever i am there i feel so relaxed.Udupi belongs to tulunadu & tulunadu belongs to Karnataka. kannada is the official language & tulu the mother tongue of tulu peoples thats the only fact.
  • kolnadguthu
    Jai Tulu Jai Konkani but Down with kannada Chauvanism.
  • Ravikumar S Potdar (guest)

  • Prasad S. Shetty (guest)
    Awesome place. Very wide variety of vegetarian as well as non veg recipes, Very good sea food, konkani fish curry etc. Should check out the local bakeries for all sorts of home made sweets. Fresh fruits n vegetables all around the year. High humidity but fully green n pleasant all round the year. Very very clean until recently and mostly simple hardworking people. With lots of people from from different backgrounds & from surrounding states investing / settling in and around the city, lots of easy money pouring in from gulf along with media n technology influencing the rituals n ways of this basically agrarian society. Heavy deforestation near the city for expansion & along the western ghats for large rubber plantations, smuggling wood etc. earlier by smugglers, now by tribals, locals n settlers.
