The viral video, shared on the X (formerly Twitter) handle “@tulunadregion,” captures a tense verbal exchange between the car owner and a group of individuals who accuse him of failing to display a car nameplate in Kannada. The footage shows the car owner being publicly humiliated while another individual inside the car records the confrontation. According to information available, the young man involved in the incident is from the Tulunadu region, which is not primarily a Kannada-speaking area.

The video quickly gained traction online, sparking a range of opinions from netizens and igniting discussions in comment sections across platforms. The incident has brought to the forefront the tensions surrounding language and regional identity in Karnataka.

One user commented, “When Kannada is important in Karnataka, why are multinational companies allowed? Employees communicate in English.” Another user pointed out the absurdity of the situation: “This madness is reaching insane proportions. Does this mean we cannot bring vehicles from another state into Karnataka? What the hell is this?” Concerns about political accountability were also raised: “But where are the MPs and MLAs from Mangalore? Why aren’t they speaking about this?” Some opinions noted the deeper societal issues: “We keep fighting over language, caste, etc., but the real issue lies elsewhere. Folks are oblivious to the real danger!”
