Kannadigas have not demanded pilgrimage cities Pandharpur or Kolhapur etc. We are asking to merge Kannada majority villages of Jatta, Akkalakota, South Solapur etc with Karnataka . Even Solapur city has 1 lakh + Kannadigas. But it is not demanded by Karnataka.

Dharmapuri is a district in Tamil Nadu. It was part of Vijayanagara & Mysore Kingdom, later it went to Madras presidency & TN. Though Tamil is major language now in Dharmapuri district, it was also historically part of Kannada region, as indicated by village names & inscriptions.
The mountains of Eastern Ghats can be termed the historical geographical boundary between Tamil & Kannada regions.The regions around this border perhaps were bilingual. Dharmapuri,Krishnagiri,Talavadi are part of traditional Mysore Plateau unlike plains of other Tamil districts.
