Karnataka is one of the most diverse states where seven languages are spoken: apart from Kannada, there is Telugu, Tamil, Tulu, Marathi, Konkani and Hindi. It shares its borders with the southern states, Goa and Maharashtra.
With Goa and Tamil Nadu it has river-sharing disputes, while netas from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are actively campaigning among the state’s Telugu-speakers. A look at how the different regions of the state voted in 2013.
