Bengaluru: The Kannada  development authority (KDA) after having  been a part of the campaign that demanded that Hindi signages be removed from the Namma metro, have now decided that they will write to the state government saying that there is no need for the imposition of Hindi in schools and they need to follow just the two langauge policy which includes Kannada and English.

Activists, writers and pro-Kannada organisations have decided that they will protest across the state demanding the two language policy in schools.

The KDA chairman S G Siddaramaiah has said that they feel that Hindi is being imposed upon students in the guise of a third language option and that there was no need for a third language option at all. They also said that they will be impressing upon the government to do away with the need for Hindi language as the third option as many school provide only Hindi and not any other language, thus leading to forcibly making students learn the language.

Earlier the CM of Karnataka, Siddaramaiah had told India Today that he was not Anti-Hindi but against the imposition of hindi in the state.As of now, officially Hindi is an optional third language provided by several schools and they have to do so while providing choice of several other languages.
