Bengaluru Speaks: Should one learn Kannada to live in Karnataka?

The age-old question of learning the language of the region has come to the forefront of discussion with protests over the (lack of) usage of Kannada. We asked a few people in the city whether knowledge of Kannada is a must to live in Karnataka.

 

As an effort to gauge the usage of Kannada in the region, the team of Bengaluru Speaks asked people in the city whether the usage of Kannada is a must to live in Karnataka. Could one get by without knowing a word of Kannada? We get answers from people living in the city, which hosts many people from across the country.
