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. Recently, A Food Safety and Standard Authority of India (FSSAI) order directed the Karnataka Co-operative Milk Producers Federation Limited to use the word ‘Dahi’ followed by the common regional name in brackets on the label of curd packets. This has angered pro-Kannada groups and invited stiff opposition from the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) board of directors. Anand Kumar, a director on the KMF board, said that dairy farmers will not allow KMF to sell curd packets using the word ‘Dahi’ in Karnataka.
