Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (Ka.Ra.Ve), led by president T.A. Narayana Gowda, has expressed support for Tamil Nadu’s decision to replace the Devanagari script rupee symbol with the Tamil script version. The organisation commended Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin for this move, highlighting it as an important step for preserving Dravidian languages. In a letter to Stalin, Ka.Ra.Ve acknowledged the Dravidian movement's significance for southern India and urged all southern states to follow Tamil Nadu's example in safeguarding regional languages. The Devanagari script rupee symbol has been used officially by the Indian government for 16 years.
