Before 1956, people who spoke Kannada lived under five different rulers. One man from Bijapur spent his life trying to bring them together. On 1 November 1956 he finally saw it happen.
His name was Aluru Venkata Rao, from Bijapur.
He was born in 1880. At that time Kannada speaking land was split between the Bombay Presidency, the Madras Presidency, Hyderabad, Mysore and Kodagu.
He was a writer, historian and journalist. He joined Gandhi's movement in 1921.
He helped set up the Kannada Sahitya Parishad, pushed for Karnataka University, and started the Vijayanagara festival to remind people of their shared history.
Dharwad became the centre of the Ekikarana movement, the fight to unite all Kannada areas into one state.
On 1 November 1956 the Kannada speaking regions were finally joined together as Mysore State.
Aluru Venkata Rao was alive to see it. He went to the Virupaksha temple in Hampi and offered a pooja.
People gave him the title Karnatakada Kulapurohita.
On 1 November 1973 Mysore State was renamed Karnataka.
Happy Kannada Rajyotsava.
@jagatmindri ಆದ್ರೆ ಜಾನಪದ ಇದ್ಯಲ್ಲ ಅದು ಶ್ರಮಿಕರ ನಡುವೆ ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ್ದು. ಕಷ್ಟ ಕಾರ್ಪಣ್ಯಗಳ ನಡುವೆ ಬೆಳೆದಿದ್ದು. ಅದನ್ನು ಅರಿಯಿರಿ. ಅವು ನಿಮಗೆ ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡುತ್ತವೆ. ಯಾಕಂದ್ರೆ ಅವು ಬಂದಿದ್ದು ನಿಮ್ಮಂತಹವರ ಅನುಭವದಿಂದ. ಸುಪ್ಪತ್ತಿಗೆಯಿಂದಲ್ಲ. 🤝
@Gkmastrology The presence of planets in Lagna influences our appearance. Saturn in lagna gives a serious look to the native. Such a native always look elder than his/her age. Mine 💯 true
I love animals but, pigeons need to be displaced from human civilization & street dogs need to be taken off the streets.
Also, dog owners need to pick up their dogs' shit from the streets.
Make our cities clean!
Beware of FDs via @StableMoney_ to smaller banks. We did an FD with Shivalik Bank via Stable and when it matured they accidentally sent maturity amount twice. We followed up on email with them and ICICI Bank to reverse one transaction.
Meanwhile Shivalik bank has sent Vasuli Agents who have been calling my wife @smitades to come and sign bunch of documents! They kept calling it recovery of loan!
She called them at nearby ICICI Bank and it's a mess. These Vasuli Agents are not sure how to get that money back, to what account etc. My wife had to spend 2 hours explaining them that trust the icici bank that they will reverse the extra credit but they don't understand how as they are just Vasuli Agents.
Avoid @StableMoney_ and such apps, directly invest via banks 🙏🏻
