Saying Kannada Language originated from Halmidi's period is half-truth: Dr Sha Shettar
Moodbidri: Grand opening to 15th edition of 'Alvas Nudisiri'
Moodbidre: The three-day literary and cultural extravaganza ‘Alva’s Nudisiri’ was inaugurated in a grand manner at St. Shishunal Sharif Hall in Sundari Ananda Alva campus in Moodbidre. This is the 15th edition of the grand festival, organised by Alva’s Education Foundation, Moodbidri.
The three-day event with focus on the diversity of Karnataka was kicked off by Dr. S. Shattar.
Speaking after the inauguration, he said that it was a half-truth to say that the Kannada Language was originated from the Halmidi inscription. The Kannada Language was originated right at the beginning of the fourth century. It needs to be reviewed. The Kannada Lipi was used in the Telugu script until the thirteenth century. Later, the Telugu script was discovered. Kannada influence is also there on Sanskrit, but we have failed to identify it, Dr. Shattar said.
