Rant/Vent Incident 8th March
Man its sad to see mangalore becoming next Bangalore So basically this INCIDENT is fest organised by NITK every year And today DJ Camila and xenial secret performed Camila’s show went well but then it was time for xenial Man was playing songs for 10-15 minutes Then guess what happened. Some Random guy went on to the stage and tried to hit the DJ because he didn’t play Kannada song and the DJ took his bag and ran for his life. It’s so sad that this is happening in Mangalore now. Even Mangaloreans are not worried for not playing Tulu songs man ,But why these kannada warriors do this I don’t understand . And this is the message that’s gonna go to other cities. Man mangalore needs to be mangalore.This city is known to be safe and friendly,Let’s keep this that way. Xenial if you are watching this,Sorry Brother ❤️🩹

...what the?? how did this even happen? usually in college concerts the railings will be very tight and no one except the organisers can go to the stage right? xenial secret came to my college as well last week and he DID play a few kannada songs as far as I remember. Anyways how can they expect that in NITK? students all over from India go there

I don't remember the year now, but we had Sonu Nigam's performance on one night of our college's fest and suddenly some people (you know who) started yelling RCB RCB and the entire crowd followed suit. It was horrible. At one point he was concerned and was asking what's RCB?

Why was it horrible?

u/Darwin_Nunez_ 28d ago
College fests aren't a place to show everyone which shitty IPL team you support.

u/pfascitis 28d ago
The fact that the majority followed suit shows you are in the minority. It’s the energy of the moment. Nobody is applying thought at the moment.

u/Darwin_Nunez_ 28d ago
It is cringe, it doesn't matter if it is done by the majority or minority. Like you're at the fucking college fest dude not in Chinnaswamy stadium, so behave accordingly.

Not at all. This is a college fest in Karnataka. People paid attention to the atmosphere. They could have shouted CSK too but they didn’t.

Was he drunk ? Strange to see such thing ..previous incidents were too good and afraid for tomorrow's event

u/Intelligent_Joke108 28d ago
He was drunk. He is a student. It's not safe to reveal his name. He's realized about it and now he's got so scared that he's turned off his mobile and gone missing. People are searching for him to beat the crap out of him.

safe and friendly
Mangalore is safe and friendly*
*As long as
- You don't publicly show any affection
- you are not an inter religious couple
- you don't go to the beach at night
- you dress within society's conservative limits
- you avoid any religiously controversial scenes

u/Silent_Equivalent965 29d ago

Have you been living under a rock?
Things have improved exponentially in the past few years.
*If you care to open your eyes
people now do indulge in pda. ( Eg: young ones on dates in malls, restaurants and other OPEN public spaces.....will name a few if you insist.)
when was the last time you heard a couple was in trouble for being an inter religious one. It's still scoffed at I won't deny that but nobody comes at you for it.
if you really think of it from a safety perspective, ppl are better off staying away from the beach at night ( we don't have murder or drowning stories galore for a reason)
what dressing conservatively do you mean ........girls wear shorts, skirts and skin tight clothes pretty casually these days in Mangalore ( night life has been picking up at a snail's pace)
religious controversies haven't happened in ages..... please tell me of one in the recent past.
If the city wasn't safe you'd not find so many single working ladies here living alone. ( So many girls I've come across who live in pgs or hostels )
All your talking points were valid a good few years back. Saying it's completely chilled out would be a lie.
But this is clearly an exaggeration . Please don't paint Mangalore as so unlivable.
It is a fact that it is safer compared to most other Indian cities. The city is doing decently well for itself with its rules and regulations. They're in place for a reason. That's what keeps it safe.

I doubt if the context is right, afaik it was due to some college politics. A group of 4th years were angry that the incident organising election committee rigged the elections so that they couldn't win. To take "revenge" they did this.
If kannada songs were the problem they could've stopped anyone because barely any kannada song was played. It was just that, this was the event where everyone was having fun the most.

u/Intelligent_Joke108 28d ago
This is no case of college politics. Ik the matter completely. Fourth years have gotten together to beat the people who did this.

People need to stop doing these kinds of things.
Was playing a new year's gig with my band in Manipal. Our setlist mostly consisted English, Hindi songs.
Some Kannadigas (not from Udupi/Mangalore) asked us to play a particular song which we didn't know. They asked multiple times, finally we allowed them to connect the aux. They played a weird kannada song which I've not heard at all and danced to it, and asked for more kannada songs
5 mins after they were done, the Tulu people in an agressive tone demanded for tulu songs. It was chaotic. And there were bouncers to handle the situation. We did play a tulu song at the end though.
It was disheartening for me to see Tuluvas behave this way.

What was NITK response on this issue? Not sure what triggered the “pro-Kannada” group.

Sarcasm? This city has been a hotbead for communal politics. Not to mention, the never-ending casteist superiority complex runs deep in this city.

u/joswindsouza17 29d ago
Communal politics is everywhere in India bro ,Tell me where there isn’t ?Apart from that it’s still safe compared to other cities in India ,I’m not comparing Mangalore to Dubai .Atleast people not used to harass to here to speak certain language

True, but only in Karnataka*. It is the hotbed of karnataka. Big shots in Bangalorebring ppl from mlr and give suparis to get their work done. Though the crimes aren't like how it was before. It is still a hotbed in shadows. Surathkal is known for crimes.

I mean there should be not like any fight like this because of one person. Let's be honest we mangalorean are also a big fan kannada songs and sandalwood industry. Not because one person is misbehaving you should spread hatred about him and the language. After scolding him and while going home you will listen the same kannada or tulu song. Let's be frank I think kannada, tulu and english should be equally respected. Not because we are mangaloreans we are tulu, konkani like that, kannada is the language of our motherland Karnataka and it is second language after our mother tongue and I being a konkani guy respect kannada and consider as it my second mother tongue. I live in Bengaluru and I understand the issue, I have seen the same mangaloreans and my cousin who moved here for work who never bothered about kannada much became pro kannada, it's not because of local influence but because of the terrible issues and difference between us and our fellow north indian people. So I think even Mangaluru is developing really good and after several years and a decade you would understand the problem after being cooked by them. Stop this kannada vs tulu, kannada vs english and all. I know you same people after a decade will cry kannada kannada when you face this. Yes guys ignore this silly issues and fights, let's be frank and be united, we are sailing in the same boat (Karnataka), we have to co operate otherwise we would end up crashing like a titanic and the third party would take benefit of us.

I've had a similar experience in Mangalore. Although I was born and brought up in Mumbai, I speak Tulu fluently at home. While I can understand Kannada, I'm not proficient in speaking it. During my visit, a rickshaw driver from North Karnataka spoke to me in Kannada, and I responded in Tulu. However, he lectured me on why I didn't know Kannada, which was a unpleasant experience. I realized that many people from North Karnataka have settled in Mangalore, particularly in blue-collar jobs, and are adamant about speaking Kannada but show little interest in learning Tulu or Konkani.
