Correction - Diwaliya /Diwala word means bankruptcy , kindly only use Deepawali word , don't use same word used by other country people just because its difficult for them to pronounce. we have imported Diwali word from outside , instead should have used Deepavali or Deepawali.
In Kannada Diwali means Bankruptcy, I checked and found even in Hindi - Diwaliya/Diwala means Bankruptcy - then how could be used or festival name, when originally its still known as Deepawali/Deepavali/Dipavali.
In Kannada its called Deepavali, similar to Sanskrit word.
Knowing Kannada by anganwadi Teacher ,mandatory is understandable as children studying in govt school mostly prefer Kannada, yet it feels odd when they make urdu mandatory as pronunciation of alphabets of urdu language is different compared to Kannada.
urdu ,shouldn't be made mandatory ,only optional.
They could have instead included Tulu, Konkani & other languages.
Karnataka is not against Hindi, only against it's imposition , means they don't mind people learning the language. yet they also want people to learn spoken Kannada . which could be easily learnt since Kannada alphabets pronunciation is similar to Sanskirit to an extent even with some differences.
All of us also should fight against mixing of English words in Indian languages. most modern students sadly due to influence of English ,dont know many Kannada/ Indian Language/ words equivalent of some of the widely used English words . They end up speaking in Kanglish, Hinglish ,etc.
Festivals are still celebrated with same fervor in our state, it varies in cities they are trying to emulate western cities to show as modern. people in cities forget even western countries celebrate their culture, they don't stop celebrating it.
