The Kannada Language Learning Act 2015 (under which the above order has been made) is only applicable to schools. No connection with NLS (or for that matter any other state university).
Kannad is pretty much useless in Bangalore. Like Marathi in Mumbai. It's just a legal language.

Unless you practice in Bangalore Courts or Real Estate firms you definitely don't need Kannad. You can manage with English and Hindi.
Exactly. For all you know, it might be good for them. See the results of a similar policy in Singapore, as an example.
from where to where? studying a language in school is different from medium of instruction at university level. I'm kannadiga-I studied Hindi and then Sanskrit as second/ first language in school. It didnt make the sky fall- kids are good at learning languages . calm down.
sudhir already speaks passable kannada. He grew up in bangalore.

If a Kannada speaking robot replaces Sudhir as the NLS VC, then who will be the first to notice that? Let the speculation begin!
Incorrect. He is a Karnataka domicile already, so he is the one who is going to teach Kannada to the incoming batches.
