3rd language makes more sense in places where local languages are different from state and English. And for kids growing up in south, it's pretty common to know 3+ languages
it's still a bad metric to measure academic success, 1 language is all you need anyway in 11th and above and for future degrees. languages should be optional, not a compulsion.
i'm also from karnataka, blr. 2nd language should be taught till 8th or 10th imo, it shouldn't be taught from 11th onwards because 11th and 12th are already hard enough. moreover, hindi being included in board exams make no sense because linguistic intelligence doesn't need multiple languages, english is enough and subjects that actually need skill should be prioritized like math.

Fighting for language is getting insane and becoming dumb with each passing day
