President Droupadi Murmu on Monday (September 1, 2025) said she would try to learn Kannada when Chief Minister Siddaramaiah asked her if she understood the language. Responding in her address, the President said, “Kannada may not be my mother tongue, but I respect all the languages, cultures, and traditions of our country. They must be preserved and kept alive. I will certainly learn Kannada little by little,” drawing applause from the audience. https://trib.al/Ghz68Rc Speaking at the diamond ju
