==Border issues==
Uttara Kannada district was a part of Bombay Presidency during the British rule. Before reorganization of the States, the district was in Bombay State.<ref name="hindu2006">{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/2006/08/24/stories/2006082401960300.htm |title=Karnataka News : MES campaign on border issue in Karwar condemned |publisher=The Hindu |date=2006-08-24 |access-date=2012-08-06}}</ref> The local Konkani-speaking people had close connections with Mumbai then. They had matrimonial relations also with the people in Bombay. Many Marathi-medium schools had also been established in Karwar and Joida taluks. Marathi films were released often in Karwar. The visit of Marathi drama troupes from [[Mumbai]] and [[Pune]] was an annual feature. However, Konkani-speaking people were disenchanted when Marathis began to claim that Konkani was a dialect of Marathi{{Citation needed|date=April 2015}}. They disputed it and asserted that Konkani had independent status as a language{{Citation needed|date=April 2015}}. It was the Konkani-speaking people led by late P.S. Kamat who argued before Mahajan Commission that Karwar was an integral part of Karnataka.<ref name="hindu2006"/>
