Ideally , this data is public and every year GOI publishes it but it doesn't matter because for Rest of India, Down the vindhyas , people are uneducated with no proper facility and rude . I think it more due to having a dark skin and moustache

Well, Kerala has always been an anomaly when you look at development stats for Indian states. Even socially and culturally, it's so different from the rest of India. The version of Hinduism practiced in Kerala is also quite unique, which is why right-wing Hinduism is struggling to spread in Kerala.

Reason is simple, Kerala achieved almost 100% literacy like ages ago when ROI was trying to go past 40%.
I have no idea about the hindusim in Kerala, only thing I knew and hated was to remove the shirt/pant and wear veshti to enter the temple.

Wow, just how much backwards could this possibly get?!

Well, forcing Hindi on non-Hindi states was already a very backward move. This is a natural response to such a move, and quite likely politically motivated too. But the common man (Kannadiga) will be happy and welcome the move.

Unless I've missed something big (which happens more frequently than I'd like to admit), Hindi is not being forced on anybody. There was an in-principle approval from the president's office, but the government hasn't made a policy on that yet.
I understand what you're saying though, and this certainly seems political.

In General, since many years, Reservation, Minority Appeasement & Freebies etc are key strategies from Congress to win elections. Throw cheap dolls/lollipops to come into power, no wonder India will remain poor.
Those are the main reason our country is still not developed.
As election approaches, we will see more of award wapasi gang, intolerance gang, reservation demands, beef & Dalit issues.

This is not minority appeasement though. This is an attempt (politically motivated perhaps) at state-specific patriotism/nationalism. It's also possibly an automatic response to the forced Hindi-imposition on non-Hindi-speaking states.

Haven't said it for this particular news. I was being general and poiting out how congress took such malign ways to come/stay into power.

Hard to digest such thing!  afaik Patriotism should be towards the country. Since when states started acting like a nation? To me, this approach would break India again.

Sorry I don't have any specific links but I believe Hindi signs/announcements are enforced on state transport buses/stations. (as an example). Also state schools have to teach Hindi (so kids are burdened with 3 languages).

State transport buses of which states are to have signs/announcements in Hindi? I'm hearing this for the first time, and last I heard, buses in Karnata aren't displaying boards in Hindi or even English. They display their destinations written in Kannada on a board (as an example as well).
By state schools, do you mean Government schools? This would be news for me as well as I've never heard such a thing.
Both of these seem to be he said / she said type of allegations without any evidence.

Amid the protests over the use of Hindi in Bengaluru Metro signboards, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday wrote to the central government asserting that the state government is 'compelled' to redesign the signage in the metro without the Hindi language.

I assume you did your schooling in Tamil Nadu? If so that may explain why you did not have to study Hindi. In Kerala, the state schools have the state syllabus (during my days anyway) where Hindi was mandatory in addition to Malayalam.

Namma metro is not a state transport bus, but I see our discussion grounding somewhere now. 
The article you've linked to outlines: "the state government is 'compelled' to redesign the signage in the metro without the Hindi language."
Which is very different from the centre compelling the state to have Hindi signage (which is what you originally alleged). Ironically, you seem to have quoted this as a proof to back up your allegation.
Note that the there were no problems when the signage was put up in three languages, nobody had a word of protest. Years after the boards and signages were established, some anti-[insert language here] group proclaiming to be the saviours of state language made a lot of noise and protested for political gains. The average Kannadiga doesn't give a single damn if the signage had Hindi letters in addition. It's not as if Kannada was absent from the signage, you see.
I suppose we both would agree on one thing - this whole thing is a political drama, and the common man doesn't give a damn about languages as long as the language he understands is present in the signage.
As to languages in schools, I'm going to simply agree with you and state that no language from a different state of the country should be made compulsory, whatsoever. Giving the students a choice to learn additional languages would be great though.

Ah sorry, I assumed Namma Metro was owned by the state.

Any school which receives aid from central govt have to make sure that either Hindi or Sanskrit is imparted to students. Earlier it was a choice but now its compulsory.

Same in Kerala. Everything's now in triplicate - English, Malayalam and Hindi. Makes the signs either too big or the text too small. Ridiculous.

See how you're misquoting the facts here? What I've known is that the signage was upgraded to have Hindi in addition to the other languages that were already present. Very different from "changing to Hindi".

Ok, no prob. I'd believe what you just said here. 
But as for the point of discussion, how, learning 1 more language is a burden to the kids. As a kid, I used to learn 3 languages at a time and as a teen, it was total 4 languages, I or any of to my friends family has never felt that it was a burden, on other hands I was enjoying it and at some level I have tried to learn 5th language as well while working.
And how it is a harm to have signs & announcement in Hindi in any way?
Whereas on other hand giving lollipops and freebies to non-merit people is always harmful for the developing nation like India. I may be falling short to understand how you are equating such politically motivated immoral decision to Hindi imposing announcement.
