In the high-security corridors of the Vidhana Soudha, a 200-page document is currently gathering dust. Since its formal submission on March 4, 2026, the Gayathri Report—a comprehensive roadmap for Tulu's official status—has been met with strategic silence from the state administration. This "60-Day Silence" is now being viewed by legal analysts not as a technical delay, but as a political evasion.

The report, which details the linguistic, historical, and economic viability of Tulu as a second official language, was expected to trigger an immediate Action Taken Report (ATR). However, as we approach the two-month mark, no Cabinet Note has been circulated, and the Department of Kannada and Culture remains tight-lipped about the scheduling of a legislative debate.

"The government's refusal to table the ATR is an active erasure of Tuluva administrative identity. We are no longer asking; we are demanding the release of the report."

The Administrative Bottleneck
Our investigative desk has confirmed that the report has passed through the initial vetting stage but is currently stalled at the Secretariat level. Sources suggest that the administration is wary of the precedent it sets for other linguistic movements, ignoring the unique "Classical" status and historical court-language pedigree that Tulu holds.

For the Tuluva community, this isn't just about a name on a paper; it's about administrative access. Without official status, Tuluva citizens are often treated as strangers in their own government offices. The Gayathri Report provides the legal "key" to fix this, yet the door remains locked from the inside.

The Rising Coast
From Udupi to Kasaragod, the sentiment is shifting. The TTT (Tulu, Tulunad, Tuluvas) movement is preparing for a massive RTI-driven accountability phase. If the ATR is not presented by the next session, activists plan to flood the Secretariat with thousands of individual inquiries, forcing a response through sheer volume.
