Kannada Development Authority

After a war of words on Twitter between Kiran Mazumdar Shaw and the Kannada Development Authority (KDA) over its opposition to the state government's proposal to introduce English classes in primary schools, the Biocon chief has apologised.

A war of words has erupted between Biocon chief Kiran Mazumdar Shaw and Kannada Development Authority after she called the KDA "an insignificant group of naysayers" for opposing the state government's proposal to introduce English medium classes in 1,000 primary schools.

After fighting against use of Hindi in its metro rail and contemplating a separate state flag, the Karnataka government is stepping up pressure on bank officials to learn Kannada.

The final stretch of the first phase of the Bengaluru Metro which was inaugurated just last week has already got a controversy attached to itself - largely online. People have raised objections to the use of Hindi as one of the three languages in Metro station sign boards.

Within a week after the last stretch of Bengaluru's Namma Metro Phase-1 was inaugurated by President Pranab Mukherjee, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC) is facing heat on the internet over the use of Hindi signboards in the metro train service.
