Yea I travelled quite a lot , spent as much time in Kerala as I could when writing , but fieldwork included quite a lot of not so nice places. Including everything from government officials to displaced villages. In Banglore I only saw offices and traffic unfortunately since lack of time. But made some stops along the way in-between southern Kerala and banglore. Drove a bike so very interesting trip.
Mysuru province (not just the city Mysuru, but also areas involving Bengaluru and other neighboring areas) would be a nice case-study on language supremacy. Comparing that area with Karavali (Konkani area), Tulu Nadu (Tulu area) or Kodagu (Kodava area) should explain the attitude of majoritarians towards the minorities in the joke of a cluster they call Karu Nadu, or Karnataka.
