Campaign Gains Momentum Against Compulsory Hindi in Karnataka
Some people in Karnataka are upset about a rule that makes kids learn Hindi in school.
They think it's too much work for the students.
They've started a group and have been telling people about it at events and online.
They want schools to let students choose only two languages to study, not three.
They say that Hindi is not needed for everyone and that it's making things harder for kids.
Many people agree and have signed a petition.
They aren't against Hindi but they don't want it to be a required subject.
A campaign advocating against compulsory Hindi in Karnataka schools has gained momentum.
The Namma Naadu Namma Aalvike team held a press conference in Bengaluru to promote their cause.
The group has undertaken awareness initiatives including rallies and pamphlet distribution.
Over 25,000 people have signed an online petition supporting the two-language policy.
The group argues that compulsory Hindi burdens students and is a form of cultural imposition.
