Tulu is a popular language in coastal Karnataka, India. Tulu-speaking people, on the other hand, have spread throughout the world as a result of globalisation and increased opportunities.
My father, late Budhananda K. Shivalli, compiled extensive data on Tulu language philology between 1977 and 1981, and his book “Tulu Patero” (written in Tulu using Kannada script) was posthumously published in Mangalore in 2004.
Based on the available published data and analytical interpretations, I wrote an editorial in the same publication (Tulu Patero) on the evolution of Tulu language and culture.One of the concepts I discussed in the aforementioned editorial was that Tulu tribes originated around 4000 years ago in the northern part of the African continent, and that some of the Tulu tribes may have migrated to the Baluchistan region as a result of sudden climatic, meteorological, or other changes.
Around 1700 BC, the town of Pirak in Baluchistan (now part of Pakistan) was a centre of civilization. The word ‘Pirak,’ which means ‘ancient,’ has been retained in Tulu. Tulu tribes migrated from Pirak to coastal Karnataka via what are now known as the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharastra.

Please be aware that certain individuals might approach you by falsely presenting themselves as our Tuluva Team Member, affiliates, agents or representatives. Under this false presence, they may try to gain access to your personal information or any other confidential/valuable information and thereby extort money from you or other valuables from you by offering fictitious opportunities or by claiming that they are contacting you on our behalf. The said individual or organization may also by false representation assure you that they will match up with an ideal family/partner if you pay them a certain sum of money. Such fraudulent offers and claims are usually received via email, the internet, text message, phone, etc. These claims and offers are fraudulent and invalid and you are strongly advised to exercise greater caution when you receive such an offer or notice.

It may include a phone or instant message for suitable match up
Fees or Other charges may be requested to act upon/take further action
You may be requested to disclose private, sensitive or confidential information
You may be told that you were contacted in such a manner because it is a matter of urgency

Such an offer or claim will probably be in the form of an email sent from a fake email address or from a free email provider such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Outlook, etc., and not from an official Tuluva’s email address. (Official mail :bpci@tuluva.in ) Please take extra caution while dealing with such a sham email address, as the perpetrators may misspell our official email address and use a slightly modified version of the said email address.

We reserve all the rights to take legal action against any such claims which may arise from such fraudulent actions, before appropriate legal authority / forum. Accordingly, we request you to immediately get in touch with us via email at bpci@tuluva.in upon receiving any such suspicious offer or claim and in addition also notify the police or other competent authority.

Please note that under no circumstances Tuluva shall be held liable or responsible for any claims, losses, damages, expenses or other inconvenience resulting from or in any way connected to the actions of these imposters.

Tuluva is committed to provide you with a safe & secure platform. Despite all we do to make the platform secure, we advise some precautions while using our sites and apps:

If a user appears to have entered false, incorrect information about themself, their education, profession, family etc., mark such profiles as Report Us and refrain from contacting that user.
If a user asks for personal favors like transportation of goods, deposit of funds on their behalf, lend them some money etc., immediately cease the communication with the said user and report the said profile.
Be cautious of fake or copy sites which may look similar but are actually owned by people who may have malicious intent. Many sites have a similar appearance as Tuluva but they are not in any way related or affiliated to Tuluva. Please check the URL of the site (www.tuluva.in)
Representatives from these fake sites may reach out to you to get membership fees or for registering your profiles. Exercise caution and alert our customer service if and when this happens.
Beware of people who pretend to call from the Tuluva asking for your user Ids and passwords to login to your account. Please note that Tuluva Team Members never ask you for user password information either on phone or in person.
Never share your financial details like bank account number, online banking credentials, credit card details etc. and be wary of those who ask for money from you. Use sound judgement and do not take any decision in a hurry.
