A Karnataka government circular on selecting students with knowledge of Hindi for a tour of Uttarakhand has sparked a 'Hindi imposition' row, with the government clarifying there was no such direction either from the state or the Centre on the matter.
The move comes in the wake of a recommendation by the Kannada Development Authority that had said there are still several establishments in the city that do not have sign boards in Kannada.
If the flag comes into being, Karnataka will be the second state to have its official flag after J&K.
