The month of November is like from one of the lines of Bhagyadha Lakshmi Baramma Dasa Sahitya….song Sakkare Thuppa Kaluve Harasi….,for Kannada language.

The classical tag has come to Kannada language just a day before the 53 Kannada Rajyotsava (According to SMS messages “Big reasons to be proud of Kannada – 3rd oldest after Sanskrit and Tamil. When Kaviraja Marga was written, English was in cradle and Hindi was not born at all. English has no script its written in latin and Hindi is written in Devanagari, though Tamil has script its logically imperfect as common letters were used for many pronunciations. KANNADA is 99.9% perfect can write and what you speak can read what you write. Highest Gnanapeetha awards than any language)
