Every Prakrit speaker living in Banglore should know this before he comes accross a Language warrior from Bengaluru or anywhere in old Mysore..

North karnataka(Real Karnataka), Kodagu, Tulunadu are culturally distinct regions from Language Chauvinist old mysore vokkaliga region.
Language antics of Vokkaligas of mysore are ruining the reputation of those distinct regions.

Old Mysore has the lowest representation in Indian Army and vokkaligas the largest community of old mysore have literally 0 representation in the Indian army.
From Modern Karnataka state MOST of the Army recruits are from Kodagu (Kodavas) & Belgaon + Karwar (Maratha Kshatriyas), rest from North-most and Coastal Karnataka but least from Old mysore & 0 from Vokkaligas.
South Karnataka/Old Mysore region never had any martial tradition. Warrior on horseback in mysore was always from outside. Native mysori vokkaligas only formed 3rd tier irregular foot soldiers called kandachar.
Vokkaligas were only employed as irregular foot soldiers since ancient times for guarding little fort or their own villages to protect from cattle thieves in South karnataka. They were never a part of elite military/Cavalry.
For superior military Tipu sultan removed Kandachar vokkaliga from army & employed Non Mysoreans even the best Generals of Tipu were from Sinda/Shinde clan of Marathas who earlier ruled over North Karnataka as vassals of Kalyani Chalukya/Salunkhe kings. x.com
Old Mysore Vokkaligas were recruited in the army by Britishers during World Wars but Old Mysore failed to show results & failed to produce a single notable soldier and were begging & writing letters to Britishers like this π to call them Martial Race.
Even Mysore Lancers were mostly consisted of 96 Kulin Marathas from Kadamba, Chalukya/Salunke, Sinda/Shinde, Seuna-Yadava,Bhosale, Pawar, Mane/Ratta, Maurya, Gaikwad etc clans. Not a single Native mysori Vokkaliga was recruited.
Old Mysore vokkaligas when exposed totally now comparing Entire south india with Maratha Kshatriyas.
Yes, Maratha clan names Kadam, Salunke/Chalukya,Rane are taken by many other castes as surname but the difference is You will never find them in Army as it's not their profession culturally. One can copy the surnames but can't copy the Ethos of the OG ones
