Pro-Kannada Activists Protest Hindi Diwas in Bengaluru

Some people in Bengaluru, India, who love the Kannada language, were upset about a celebration called 'Hindi Diwas.'

They went to the event and started protesting because they felt the organizers were not giving enough importance to Kannada.

The protesters asked why the event was only in Hindi and demanded it be held in Kannada instead.

They took down banners and shouted slogans against Hindi, leading to their detainment by the police.

These activists want Kannada to be used and respected more.
