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.

Attacks on Christians contradict PM's message of harmony, visit to church: Gehlot
Jaipur (PTI): Former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday expressed concern over the reported attacks and disruptions in prayer gatherings of the Christian community in different parts of the country, saying such incidents were "worrying and condemnable".
In a post on X, Gehlot said that while the Prime Minister Narendra Modi was visiting a church and giving a message of peace and harmony, news of attacks on members of the Christian community from various regions reflected a serious contradiction.

"Symbolic gestures would not be enough, and strict legal action was required against those spreading hatred," the senior Congress leader said.
He added that Indian culture has always upheld the spirit of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam", where every citizen has full freedom to practise their faith.
Gehlot urged the Centre and state governments to uphold the rule of law and ensure that no citizen is forced to celebrate their festival under fear.
