*Yups ! I am myself from Mattur, Karnataka, South India. There are a group of Brahmin people who have occupied our village Maatur. The village name is a chaste Tamil word. Earlier in this place various local tribes of Paraiahs were living. These new comers, the so called present kannada Brahmins are living here. Their mother tongue is actually kannada but it's just that they are studying & trying to communicate in clinically/biologically dead Sanskrit and as well trying to fool the world that Sanskrit is being still spoken in India. Please don't be fooled by these fake news/videos on TV/KZbin. I can make a video on KZbin that Bengali is being spoken in California and claim that Americans speak Bengali which is utter absurdity. Sanskrit was never spoken here in the distant past. These are kannada Brahmins learning and obviously trying to communicate in Sanskrit but it's not an Indigenous language of Mattur of Karnataka. If the locals & govt of India is trying revive the dead Sanskrit, then it should be appreciated as dead Hebrew was also revived recently by the Israeli govt/people. But truth should be presented to the world as it is. so it is not spoken in Mattur since ancient days but these people are trying to revive it since last decade. Peace....*

[@abhijitkurse53]

Sankethi Brahmins did not occupy your village, and they are hardly newcomers, dating back at least 500 years and possibly 1000. They are quite possibly admixed descendants of the pariahs you refer to. Also, they speak their own dialect closer to Tamil than to Kannada, and they never claimed to speak Sanskrit as a vernacular- it was nationalists that did this. Don't put words in other people's mouths.

[@maheshreddy4046]

The indigenous dalits of this country are still fighting for social equality. But these people need at least decent food, accommodation, education and medical care. Why did the Congress ignore the claim that they were nationalists?
