    Hats off to Dhwani Prathistana for giving such wonderful programme. Except for the late start all other itmes of te programme were good. We only felt that Dr. Cennaveera Kanavi should have been given more time for his speech.

    Mr.sharath kumar shetty, halnad/abudhabi
    You have not got the message properly. A crusader for any issue has to set his house in order before venturing out. Here a person preaches others to speak in kannada and send their children to kannada medium school only, after convienietly forgeting to send his own children kannada medium school. Now your curiosity to know Whether i send my children to English medium school or kannada medium school is to an issue here. I hope you understand this properly.

    Shri.Channveera Kanavi is one of such hypocrite who does exactly opposite of what he is preaching others to do. He participated in GOkak Chaluvali for implementation of Kannada in Karnataka, after sending his children to English Medium schools. I can vouch for this, because one of his son was my classmate during 1970's.
