The fragrance of Kannada had spread from Cauvery to Godavari. Now, Chandra Arya has taken it to a new heights and it has spread from Dwaralu to Canada.
It reminds us of former chief minister late JH Patel who spoke for the first time in Kannada in parliament, making Kannadigas proud.
Karnataka’s contribution to the parliament is immense. Krantiyogi Basavanna’s chintakara chavadi became the inspiration for parliamentary democratic system.
