Mangaluru, Nov 02, 2023: On November 1, Rajyotsava Day, a tweet campaign was held all through the day on Twitter demanding inclusion of Tulu in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution thereby giving the language its due recognition. Various pro-Tulu organisations even observed the day as Black Day.
Several organisations have also been demanding the state language status to Tulu.
It has been alleged that there has been a lack of political will power to fulfill the demand.
It may be recalled here that a committee was formed during the tenure of the erstwhile BJP government to study the demand for a second state language status for Tulu. Though the committee report was submitted to the government, it has not been placed in public domain.
