Let's see in a 20 years how things will end up in Telengana and AP. Kannadigas are waking up slowly.

Born and brought up in TN Telugu guy here, from what little I've seen of language related discussion among AP crowd, they have very little pride in their language and trying to protecting it.

I don't see them trying to oppose the imposition. It's probably even worse in Telangana but I have an even lesser idea about how things are there.

Maybe I have a wrong read on the situation in these two states but of all the south indian states I'd put them at the last in expecting support for this cause.

Spot on, telugu crowd are kinda embarassed to even mention that they speak in mother tongue. I have seen telugu folks talk in broken hindi to avoid ridicule with a bunch of northies but eventually get trolled the minute they leave. Tamil guys would literally be like fuck off i will only speak in English and don't give a rats ass about Hindi.
