Ans. There is tremendous Hindi imposition on the employees in the IT industry. Security, Transport and other vendor staff are instructed by the IT companies to only converse with the employees in Hindi irrespective of whether the Kannadiga employee understands Hindi or not. Speaking or responding to queries in Kannada is not an acceptable practice in these companies. Hindi songs / music through FM91 / cassettes are played as per the company policy on company transport and requesting for Kannada songs / music on company transport is not allowed. Cultural programs are allowed only in Hindi and any cultural program in Kannada and presenting Karnataka’s rich culture & heritage is not allowed. For example celebrating Kannada Rajyothsava is not allowed in many IT companies while non-kannadigas are allowed to celebrate Onam, Pongal and Holi without any restrictions.
