Demand For A Separate Tulu Nadu State
In the post-independence era and following the Reorganisation of States, the Tuluvas began demanding official language status for Tulu and a separate state named Tulu Nadu for themselves. Though a bit subdued in between, this demand has grown stronger in recent years. Several organisations like the Tulu Rajya Horata Samiti have taken up the cause of the Tuluvas, and frequent meetings and demonstrations are held across the towns of Tulu Nadu (like Mangalore, Udupi, etc.) to voice their demands.
