[edit] Cleanup
This article recieved a large content-dump from the Kasargod District web site [1]. Not sure of its copyright status, but if it remains here it needs major cleanup Tom Radulovich 20:28, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The official name is Kasaragod
According the official Kerala government site ( http://www.kerala.gov.in/ and http://www.ksd.kerala.gov.in/home.htm ) the name of the district/town is Kasaragod. So the article should be placed under "Kasaragod" and page "Kasargod" should redirect to Kasaragod and not the other way round. Sangfroid 15:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- This page (and Kasargod District) have been listed at Wikipedia:Requested moves#January 11, 2006, so an experienced admin can untangle the existing redirects and histories. — Catherine\talk 18:51, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Moved. —Nightstallion (?) 08:59, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] dispute?
According to the article on Kayyara Kinyanna Rai, there's at least a small movement agitating to separate the district from Kerala and join it with Karnataka. It might be worth mentioning that here. --Delirium 18:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Kasaragod page is not for political discussion.

The fallacy about the movement is that its been started by a Tuluva and not a Kannada speaker. The district's majority language is still Malayalam in that it is spoken by over 78% of the district's population. Perhaps the shameful part (as far as the Tuluvas and Kannadiggas in Kasargod, and in general in Kerala are concerned) is that they ALL entered Malayalanadu for many centuries starting from the early Common/Christian Era as immigrants (or were invited as with the Brahmins) but were always welcomed in the new region so that they made the various places in Kerala their new home.
