Nativism In Karnataka
Nativism in Karnataka, through sociopolitical movements and policies, aims to prioritise the rights and identity of the native Kannadigas, Kannada-speaking population, who make up the majority of the ethnic groups in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. These efforts often focus on promoting the Kannada language, ensuring local representation in employment, and preserving regional culture in the face of increasing migration and urbanisation. Initiatives such as job reservation policies for locals and campaigns to enforce the use of Kannada in public spaces have been central to these movements.

Language Conflict In India
Language is a structured system of communication that consists of grammar and vocabulary. It is the primary means by which humans convey meaning, both in spoken and signed forms, and may also be conveyed through writing. Human language is characterized by its cultural and historical diversity, with significant variations observed between cultures and across time. Human languages possess the properties of productivity and displacement, which enable the creation of an infinite number of sentences, and the ability to refer to objects, events, and ideas that are not immediately present in the discourse. The use of human language relies on social convention and is acquired through learning. Estimates of the number of human languages in the world vary between and . Precise estimates depend on an arbitrary distinction (dichotomy) established between languages and dialects.
