Can there be a language debate over Curd? well, it has just started. With just few days left for Karnataka elections, the Hindi Imposition debate has made a comeback in the state. It all started with spelling curd on a packet of curd.

This has angered pro-Kannada groups and invited stiff opposition from the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) board of directors.
