When Mother India got Independence in 1947 our dear homeland Codava region as an independent province enjoyed its Geo-Political freedom & autonomy known as “COORG PROVINCE” and later it's status ratified under the Constitution as PART “C” TYPE STATE OF INDIA .When at a time unifying our great Nation India ‘Bharathavarsh’ by Sardar Patel who is the iron man of India, unified  more than 500  Princely States of India into Indian Union. But he decided to continue the Geo-Political Autonomy  of COORG PROVINCE, as according to Sardar Patel COORG PROVINCE  was the only RAMARAJYA in whole of India which  is recorded in the Parliamentary  proceedings when Sardar Patel made such a statement  in the floor of the Indian Parliament in 1949.

In the name of Vishal Mysore in 1956  the communal Hegemony  rulers of old Mysore have in cursed & swallowed  the precious  Autonomy & Independence  of our land rights, Cultural rights, Codava Thakk rights, Folkloric rights & Political  rights of our homeland & together with our overall identity.  Now we are marching towards regaining regional autonomy for Codavaland of Codava tribal World. On this auspicious day we are aspiring to achieve our Geo-Political goal in the near future.

Let our mother India become stronger and most prosperous country in the world. Also its Sovereignty integrity and Independence be at its paramount forever. Our homeland be restored to its autonomy status as Codava Land as early as possible. And also our freedom of Codava Tribal Rights, Freedom of land rights, freedom of language rights, freedom of folkloric rights and freedom of political rights be restored, guaranteed and respected in the Constitution of India. We are Codava Tribes our elegance will be always with our mother Nation India & our Codava Land.

Codavas have imbibed the spirituality of Sanathana philosophy of Bharathvarsha and we abide by our sacred Indian Constitution. We are happy to have a space under the suzerainty of India. National Flag hoisted by CNC Chief Mr. N.U Nachappa Codava M/s Kaliyanda Prakash, Kaliyanda Meena Prakash, Appachira Rammi Nanaiah, Chambanda Janath, Almanda Jai, Kongettira Lokesh & Pudiyokkada Kashi witnessed the Independence Day Program.

For the Kind Publication- Press Release

We have seen & experienced more severe rain (300 to 400 inches) continuously for more than 3 months since our childhood. The reason for last year's catastrophe is due to the overstorage of water in the old, outdated water monster Harangi reservoir. Now the comcerned authorities are creating panic in the minds of public by propagating that disaster will occur this year also due to heavy rainfall. But this is not true. Nothing will happen even if it rains for 3 more months. Disaster can occur not because of rain but because of storing water in the Harangi dam to the maximum limit. As Harangi dam is of substandard quality, its capacity to hold water has decreased & increase in the water spreading will create punctures in the earthbed leading to landslides. Hence instead of wishing rain to stop, take immediate measures to open the crust gates of Harangi reservoir completely thus relieving tension of people of Coorg. CNC (Codava National Council) has been demanding for the total dismantling of Harangi reservoir. Till the time CNC's demand becomes a reality, at least allow the water to flow out of the Harangi reservoir as a temporary relief measure."Abundant rainfall is the symbol of prosperity. Do not create panic in the name of rainfall." Calamity mongers are eagerly waiting for the disaster to happen so that they can eke out for their living with the rehabilitation relief package.

When the Harangi water storage level is high it will create panic among the people of 7 Naads of North Western Coorg aka Codava Region. Because water storage to its maximum capacity leads to Catastrophe like last year and at the same time if Crust gate is opened completely, then the entire Kushalnagar Hobli will become like island and the Harangi water will join to River Cauveri and thus the back water of Cauveri will create panic. Storage of water will create Catastrophe in North western Codava region and release of water suddenly will occur Catastrophe to downward Kushalnagar. Hence in the interest of protecting these 2 regions from Calamity dismantling of Harangi reservoir is a wise decision.

The reason for flood situation in Kerala and Maharashtra also is manmade and is definitely due to sudden release of water from dams which reaches the rivers which are all interconnected in different States of India.

World Indigenous Peoples Day - Sathyagraha by Indigenous Codava tribal people held on 09-08-2019 at Bengaluru in the vicinity of town hall.

“Diversity is the hallmark of prosperity”

Let the Global community respect & protect the diverse Indigenous tribes across the Universe including Codava tribes. Thus let us join together to build a harmonious World.

1. Quest for Geo-Political Autonomy & Self-Determination rights.

2. Inclusion of Codava tribe in the Schedule list under article 340 & 342 appended to the Constitution of India.

3. Codava Mother tongue Codava Thakk should be incorporated in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution.

4. Codava tribe & their Cultural heritage should be included in the intangible Cultural Heritage list of UNESCO

Dear Editor,

CNC/Codava National Council which is aspiring for Codava Quest for Geo-Political Autonomy, Inclusion of Codava tribe in the Schedule list of our Constitution & allied subjects under the leadership of its supremo NU Nachappa Codava offered reverential floral tribute to the departed souls at Devaatt paramb tragic Codava genocide memorial monumental site (Monster & Brutal Barbarian Tippu coverdly massacred Codava Tribal Folk in its entirety on 12 December 1785 at Devaatt Paramb) on the eve of auspicious "Kakkada padnett "day on 03 August 2019. M/s Areyada Girish,Mandapanda Manoj & Pattamaada Kusha were part of the ritual.

We have decided to hold the 24 th year of public KakkadaPadnett celebrations on Thursday the 3 rd August 2019 and we expect it to be reverberating and a memorable one. Incidentally, the public celebration of KakkadaPadnett is the invention of CodavaKarona’s (i.e. Codava ancestors) and ceremonious touch being championed by Codava National Council. The main purpose of KakkadaPadnett is signifying the unbreakable Codava bondage with mother Goddess lifeline river Cauvery & mother earth and in reality that is one of the folkloric religious rituals of Codava tribal world. On 18th of Kakkada, Madthopp (one particular leaf/called Madthopp) will gather 18 varieties of herbal medicinal value and we religiously consume Maddpayasa, Maddputt and Maddkool prepared out of Madthopp stock during the peak period of paddy transplantation.

Codavas being warriors/martial race, basically have imbibed the necessity of agriculture from time immemorial and in reality, it is our unbreakable ritualistic act embedded in mother soil. With an intention of educating younger generation about the importance and necessity of observing this ritual, our connection with mother nature and basically agriculture, added to it acts as a unifying factor within Codavas from person to person. The prime importance is to let them understand the rich legacy of Codava culture. One other motive is to herald the very purpose of KakkadaPadnett to the world community and our motive is to educate our younger generation with the background of preservation of our cultural identity as enshrined in the article 51 (f) of the Constitution which in other words which safeguards the importance of the preservation of our composite cultural heritage and identity.

On 3 rd August, 2019 the Kakkada Padnett (18th) Day, the CNC is holding a public Naatinadpa ceremony/paddy transplantation at 10-30 in the morning accompanied by Dudikottpaat in the paddy fields at capitol village, after paddy transplantation all the participants will be served with KakkadaKoli, Maddputt, Maddpayasa and other Codava cuisine. The Kakkada ceremony would be preceded by seeking blessings of Guru Karonas.

The entire program and process will give input and ingredients to motivate, inspire and strengthen our struggle for Codava land Union Territory, Autonomy under article 244 R/W 6th & 8th Schedule of our Constitution & Codava Tribe and their unique cultural heritage should be incorporated in the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO. Besides Constitutional guarantee for Codava tribal World etc.

It naturally would be a ceremonious blessing occasion. We request all Codavas and Codavathis to participate in the ceremony and make it a point to take part with Codava costumes.

CNC President NU Nachappa Codava,M/s Pullera Kalappa, Chambanda Janath & Koopadira Sabu were present in the Press Conference.

TO WHOME SO EVER IT MAY CONCERN

In fact Harangi Reservoir was constructed unscientifically across Harangi River and it is believed that the same has been built with a mischievous intent & only in order to cause inexplainable loss to Codava occupied territory.

Harangi Reservoir happens to be the first ever rapacious act after Codagu 'C' State merged with Mysore; now Karnataka in 1956. Even people of catchment area opposed the dangerous plan of Govt to construct Harangi Reservoir.

Consequent to the most unscientific construction of Harangi Reservoir around 7(Seven) Rivers & Rivulets originating from Western Ghats, the calamity/disaster affected 7 Naads.

In reality the Govt wanted to collect water from this dam only to cater Old Mysore region. The order to store water beyond the storage capacity in the Reservoir has definitely ended up in the back water punch/pressure which caused the puncture/ burst of water veins & nerves of ground water tables.

The back water pressure from Harangi reservoir has been going on since past 50 years. We believe that this has ended up in the land slide disaster last year in 2018.

The storage of excess water in Harangi reservoir without a thought to it’s consequences has cracked the earth. Strangely, the concerned authorities have stored water even during rainy season throughout.

CNC has been insisting for the dismantling of the dangerous Harangi Reservoir ever since the day the land slide occurred during the year 2018.(Even the people of Catchment area had opposed the dangerous design of Govt to construct Harangi Reservoir.) It is not too late. The Govt may call an end to the continuation of the danger by dismantling the “Harangi reservoir” at once.

"A delayed discharge of water from Harangi Reservoir and accumulated silt also had led to disaster”

Quixotically enough, the govt through its officials involved, forecast the possibilities of repetition of such calamity in this monsoon year also. They do not ascribe any reason but are causing fear psychosis among the residents.

The Govt must remember that such a danger would continue as long as the dam stands in its present state. Unless the dangerous dam is dismantled immediately, no other precautionary measures will help.

The Govt has not (di-silted) cleared the silt in the Harangi Reservoir even once since the time of its construction. In addition one must know that the entire silt flowed from more than 100 KM during the time of calamity to Harangi Reservoir.

The man made calamity would continue till such a day when Harangi Reservoir is dismantled.

The main reason for criminal silence regarding dismantling of Harangi Reservoir is to continue feeding the irrigation & industrial facilities of other districts at the cost of seemingly natural calamity like land slides caused due to unplanned dam construction.

CNC insists for dismantling of Harangi Reservoir. But Govt could have thought of permanently closing the Crust gate/Flood gate and minimising the height of the Reservoir and allowing the excess water to flow up on the Reservoir by certain other methods like the one in "Chikli Reservoir" instead of allowing it to flow through the Crust gate. By doing so one can avoid the storage of excess water & back pressure & punching. Last year (2018) crust gates were opened only after the landslide and this sudden excess water gushing out from the crust gate lead to floods on either side areas of Cauvery river bank. So people of Kodagu had to suffer the flood situation also along with the landslides.

During the construction of Harangi dam vast fertile land along with precious fauna and flora has been destroyed. The families who got disrupted from that place have not yet got any compensation till now and are leading a pathetic life after losing everything because of Harangi dam.

Therefore we (CNC) take it to be our duty to pressurize & demand for the dismantling of Harangi Reservoir as early as possible and to give compensation to people who gave up their land for dam construction.

We definitely will stage a Sathyagriha in the vicinity of the DC's Office Kodagu aka Codavaland aka Coorg- Madikeri The catastrophic landslide of 2018 has displaced & dispersed over 15 thousand people and caused unprecedented devastation in the western ghat sector of 7 Naads of North-Western part of Codava region.

Sustained efforts and large financial resources will be needed for rebuilding and compensate people for their losses.

Disaster management capabilities need to be further improved in view of the threat from Water monster "Harangi Reservoir" wherein water level will increase during monsoon.

CNC honoured Devaattparamb genocide dead’s by performing reverential prayer and offering floral tribute at Devaattparamb genocide site at early hours on on the previous day of Edmyar 1 Codava new year dated 13 April 2019. 234 years back on the fateful day i.e. 12 Dec 1785. Codavas defeated Hyder & Tipu 32 times. After 32 failed invasions on Kodagu aka Codava land Tipu conspired to eliminate entire Codava tribal nationals and cunningly massacred thousands of innocent Codava warriors along with their wives & children. Those who survived were taken as prisoners with heavy chains tied on their legs and dragged them till Srirangapatana where they were circumcised and persecuted. Womenfolk were tortured and raped in front of their children and husband, just like the recent horrific sufferings of “Yezidi” womenfolk of ‘Sinjar’ mountain by ISIS.( Tipu is the predecessor of ISIS and ISIS is the successor of Tipu.)

Tipu colluded with the French East India Company to form an allied force whose military was under the leadership of French General Lolly and Nawab of Karnool Runmust Khan.

This tragic genocide at Devaattparamb cannot be forgotten by Codavas.It has become a traditional heritage of Codava tribe to offer branch with leaves/floral tribute at the Devaattparamb genocide site whenever they cross that area specially when they go on pilgrimage to Talacauvery, the birth place of mother Goddess Cauvery. This traumatic chapter in the history of Codava tribal world is being remembered and passed on from generations to generations.

To whom so ever it may be concern.

Codava tribal world should be cautious about their statutory rights regarding Gun Exemption privilege - and Govt officialdom should also respect for their special privilege.

Codava tribal race need not seek licence to hold guns under Indian arms act since the same is our birth right. Gun is a reverential article of worship by Codava tribal world. Gun has a special sanctity in each Codava Tribes temporal seat i.e Nellakki Nadubade. Even starting from British period the then British East India company Govt exempted Codava Tribals from the stringent disarmament act 1861and subsequently after relinquish the power of east india company the Imperial Govt i.e British raj Govt [regime] also ratified and continued that privilege and all succeeding Govts after India became a democracy and later it adopted the Constitution have also strictly followed the thing. Indian Arms Act 1959 considers such a thing as a fundamental right of Codava tribal world. Such being the case Codava tribal world exempted from depositing their Fire Arms during electioneering period also. One exemplary act by the then Chief Election Commissioner of India MR T N Sheshan who was the pioneer and most up righting CEC who reformed the process of the entire Electoral college without mincing words has mentioned and ratified that Codava tribal race need not deposit their fire arms with police station during Election period.

Unfortunately some ignorant Codava tribes men have also deposited are depositing this Fire arms without knowing the prevailing provisions of law as mentioned above. Unfortunately certain officials are exploiting the situation and force such innocent Codava tribe to deposit their fire arms instead of giving proper guidance and advice to the beneficiary Codava Tribe is an act of abusing the law and it amounts the criminal breach of trust. One cannot and shall not abuse the statutory rights enshrined in the Indian Arms Act Section 3&4. Holding gun without licence is a statutory guarantee for Codava tribal world.

Therefore we request each and every Codava wherever he or she resides shall not surrender their fire arms to the govt during the Election period or any such circumstances.

The provision of law of exemption applicable throughout Indian State wherever Codava tribal race resides. The district electoral officer has also re-iterated an exemption without mincing words in this regard. Codava tribal world must know that the differences between exemption to hold fire arms and the licence. Codavas should be cautious of their privilege and be conscious about their statutory rights and stop exhibiting foolhardy behaviour.

Language is the essence and identity of culture and is a major tool for communication.

Codava tribal world also should particularly use Codava thakk in all their transactions. Unless we enliven our own Mother Tongue nobody else will follow the same.

UNO itself has given us the opportunity to use such a thing by announcing the year 2019 to be the Indigenous languages year. It definitely is a gift to Codava tribe for rejuvenation of their mother tongue.

“To every one of us, mother language is one of the most precious gifts that we have in our lives. Each and every language spoken throughout the globe represents a unique and distinct cultural heritage, melodious songs, colourful environment, tasty food and a healthy society to live in, Where people Express their feelings and emotions without any hesitation.”

"The loss of language is part of the loss of whole cultures and knowledge systems, including philosophical systems, oral literary and music traditions, environmental knowledge systems, medical knowledge, and important cultural practice and artistic skills.”

Letter from Dr Subramanian Swamy, Rajyasabha MP to the PM, Shri Narendra Modi - Copy to CNC

CNC is happy to inform the entire Codava generality & the whole nation that the statesman of Himalayan eminence Dr. Subramanian Swamy has addressed a letter to the PM Narendra Modi wherein he has insisted the honourable PM to take action about two subjects of national significance which Dr Swamy has raised & has urged to solve them within a week before the ensuing Loksabha election. The first subject is to make Ramasethu as a site of national heritage monument. The second subject is to establish a Codava Autonomous Hill Development Council for Codava tribe.

Dr. Swamy has insisted that the entire job should be completed before the announcement of election code of conduct.

I am hereby attesting the copy of the letter of the most Revered Dr. Subramanian Swamy for public knowledge. We CNC appreciate his commitment & perseverance to treat our subject as of national importance. CNC is ever grateful to Dr. Subramanian Swamy on behalf of entire Codava tribe. Better always educate our kids about Dr. Subramanian Swamy.

I clearly remember the day 26 Nov 2017 when Dr. Swamy was the chief guest in the 27th Annual Codava National Day held at Madikeri under the aegis of CNC where he had announced that he would secure Codava Autonomy as early as possible. Dr. Swamy ‘s statement touched my inner core & gave me more confidence to carry forward the legitimate aspiration of CNC, in spite of all the hurdles faced along the way.

CNC is the irrepressible & the most honest voice of Codava tribal world. We must remember that Dr. Swamy will remain to be the tallest statesman and most revered human personality in the hearts of Codava tribe.

International Mother Tongue day- CNC Remembering Devaattparamb genocide victims. Offered Floral Tribute with Reverential Prayers.

It’s amazing how any human being will see his/her dreams in their respective mother tongue only .Even during joyous moments & traumatic conditions he/she expresses/exclaims in his mother tongue only. While in battlefield one exclaims his war cry in his mother tongue only. Even when seriously wounded in war he screams in his mother tongue only (Though he may know many languages, that doesn't matter. Mother tongue will spontaneously make him to speak and think about his mother which is unique & universally accepted unwritten divine policy) Codava being the martial tribe participated in innumerable wars in Coorg, National & Global arena he exclaimed War cry in his mother tongue Codava Takk only. Similarly in Devaatt Parmab tragic genocide on Codava tribe cunningly perpetrated by Tipu & French east India Company Army to eliminate entire Codava tribe, Codava martial tribes expressed trauma by screaming in Codava Takk only. For these reasons, on international mother tongue day we CNC offer floral tribute at Devaatt Parmab tragic massacre site besides Sathyagriha at Madikeri.

CNC honoured Devaattparamb genocide dead’s by performing reverential prayer and offering floral tribute at Devaattparamb genocide site at early hours on International Holocaust remembrance dated 21 Feb 2019. 234 years back on the fateful day i.e. 12 Dec 1785. Codavas defeated Hyder & Tipu 32 times. After 32 failed invasions on Kodagu aka Codava land Tipu conspired to eliminate entire Codava tribal nationals and cunningly massacred thousands of innocent Codava warriors along with their wives & children. Those who survived were taken as prisoners with heavy chains tied on their legs and dragged them till Srirangapatana where they were circumcised and persecuted. Womenfolk were tortured and raped in front of their children and husband, just like the recent horrific sufferings of “Yezidi” womenfolk of ‘Sinjar’ mountain by ISIS.( Tipu is the predecessor of ISIS and ISIS is the successor of Tipu.)

Sub:-International Mother Tongue Day on 21-02-2019– A Codava sathyagraha by CNC - pressurizing to inclusion of Codava Thak(Codava Language) in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution and further treat Codava Thakk as one of the Languages of UNO .

We are presenting the memorandum to the below mentioned dignitaries Shri. Ramanath Kovind Ji, His Excellency The President of India, Shri Venkaiah Naidu ji His Excellency The Vice President of India, Shri Narendra Modi ji,The Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Rajanath Singh ji, Shri Mallikarjuna Kharge ji The Hon’ble Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, The Hon’ble Union Minister for Home Affairs,Dr. Date: 12/02/2019Subramanian Swamy Ji, The Hon'le Member of Rajya Sabha,Shri Vaaju Bhai Vala ji,The Hon’ble Governor, State of Karnataka, Shri H D Kumara Swamy ji the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Karnataka, Shri Prakash Javadekar Ji,The Hon’ble Union Minister For HRD, Mr. Antonio Guttrres, His Excellency The Secretary General,United Nations Organization,Shri Jual Oramji, The Hon’ble Union Minister for Tribal Affairs, (MOS),Her Excellency,Irina Bokova,The Director General UNESCO,His Excellency,Prince Zaid Raad Al Hussain,United Nations High Commissioner,For Human Rights (UNHRC),Mr. Kiron Rijiju ji, The Hon’ble Union MOS Home Affairs,Dr. Mahesh Sharma Ji,The Hon’ble Union Minister for Culture,Shri B.K Hariprasad Ji,The Hon’ble Member of Rajyasabha, through DC, after conducting a peaceful Sathyagraha in the vicinity of D.C Office Madikeri, Kodagu,(Coorg) Karnataka.

We are happy to announce that Codava Thak is the living spoken language of Codava race and has been identified as popular spoken languages among other 16 such languages in India. To quote formidable evidence better always go through MANORAMA YEAR BOOK 2014 Published from kottayam 686001- Kerala, India. Incidentally MANORAMA YEAR BOOK is the result of a joint venture of the week and MALAYALA MANORAMA. We are further happy to announce that such a thing is the direct consequence of CNC/ Codava National Council’s agitation successively during the past 26 years and now that such a thing has been identified by the people and intelligentsia of this Nation. The MANORAMA YEAR BOOK is the prime source of knowledge for preparatory exams to IAS & IFS interns. MANORAMA YEAR BOOK is the outcome of known intellectuals, Socio- political scientists, scholars and authoritative personages across the world. Enough if one goes through the contents that appeared in the MANORAMA YEAR BOOK 2014 and has repeated in the matter even in the year 201, 2016 & 2017 also as mentioned to prove our claims about the inclusion of Codava Language in the 8th schedule of our Constitution. It in fact is the best and formal certificate about the significance of Codava language. Only the thing that remains to be done is the Govt of India should recognize Codava Thakk as a regular language and include the same in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution. A suggestion now comes fourth even though they said language had unique and independent character has been suppressed by the authorities throughout and now it has gained momentum on account of the relentless struggle towards such an end by our organization; i.e CNC / Codava National Council. No doubt true that there may be innumerable languages and each and every person certainly knows and talks many languages including his or her own mother Tongue, but strangely enough all individuals have dreams in their own mother Tongue. Hence our mother Tongue Codava Thakk is paramount for us. This is enough to substantiate Codava demand for the inclusion of the Codava Thakk in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution and also to be considered as one of the languages of UNO.

It hurts us to inform you that we definitly have submitted innumerable Memorandums and applications touching the question of Codava Land Autonomous Region and the inclusion of Codava Thak in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution during the course of our struggle and we have courage to add that Codava Thak full fills all the necessary qualifications to be incorporated in the 8th schedule of our Constitution.

We are conducting Sathyagraha on the day of 21/02/2018 in the vicinity of the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Kodagu Madikeri-571201 to mark the World Mother Tongue Day. One must remember that a Mother Tongue takes prominence and becomes paramount and mother tongue stands first the entire world takes secondary position.

The popular 16 spoken languages enlisted here under

1.Angik 2.Awadhi. 3.Bhojpuri. 4.Bundeli. 5.Chhatisgarhi. 6.Hariyanavi. 7.Hindustani. 8.Kanauji. 9.Magadhi 10.Marwari. 11.Bhili. 12.Gondi. 13.Codava.14.Kutchi. 15.Tulu . 16.Mahi.

The 22 languages which are included in the 8th schedule of our Constitution are enlisted here under

1.Assamese. 2.Bangali. 3.Gujarathi. 4.Hindhi. 5.Kannada. 6.Kashmiri. 7.Malayalam. 8.Marathi. 9.Oriya. 10.Punjabi. 11.Sanskrit. 12.Tamil. 13.Telugu14.Urdhu. 15.Sindhi was added in 1962.

By the 71st Amendment to the Constitution, 16.konkani. 17.Manipuri. 18.Nepali were added to the list in 1992. In 2003, four more languages were added 19.Bodo. 20.Dogri. 21.Maithili. 22.Santhali(92nd Amendment). It may not be an out of place act on our part if we be permitted to inform you that no prier recommendations of the any of the Constituent states is neither required nor mandatory for the inclusion of any language; much less Codava Thakk in the 8th schedule of our Constitution. To quote an example we drag this opportunity to remind you a fact that no prior recommendation was ever obtained from any states of Indian Union before the inclusion in the 8th schedule of above mentioned languages such an analogy should be followed in respect of Codava Thakk for inclusion in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution.

We appreciate the attitude, conviction & vision of Shri B.K Hariprasad, The Hon’ble member of Rajya Sabha in order to save Codava Thakk is proved while he moved a PVT member Bill (Constitution Amendment Bill 2016) in the parliament seeking the inclusion of Codava Thakk in the 8th schedule annex to our Constitution & It has been tabled & Discussed in the August House, cutting across the party line all the respectable members of Rajya Sabha supported the Bill moved by Mr. B.K Hariprasad for the inclusion of Codava Thakk in the 8th schedule of our Constitution, and on behalf of Govt MOS for Home Mr. Kiron Rijiju supported the move and he expressed the opinion that the Union Govt is willing to concede Codava Thakk for the inclusion of 8th Schedule in the Constitution.

It is an unforgettable factor that the known linguist of South India rev. Bishop Caldwell even went to the extent of asserting Codava Thakk to be the main mother source of the Pancha Dravida languages i.e Tulu, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam & Kannada and affirms that Codava Thakk is the base sources of all these languages. Even the Nationally acclaimed linguist Pro. Sitakant Mahapathra has recommended the inclusion of 38 languages in the 8th schedule of our Constitution and Codava Thakk is the 19th in its list.

Demand for more languages for inclusion in the Eighth Schedule

Now a time certainly has reached to make a definitive arrangement to include Codava thak in the 8th schedule of our constitution as early as possible and in consonance with the things what we mentioned here under. To include Codava minority language i.e Codava thak in the Constitution and do all such things towards the things as are enlisted here under in the interest of justice, equity, equality and good morals.

1. Include Codava Thakk in the 8th schedule of our constitution

2. Consider Codava Thakk as one of the languages of UNO.

3. Ethno Linguistic Codava Martial tribe/ Codava Mountain tribe/ Codava cardamom tribe/ Codava agro-pastoral tribe should be included in the ST list of our Constitution.

4. Codava National Council urges the Government to open Codavology bench in Global Nalanda University in Rajgir of Bihar, Indira Gandhi National Tribal University in Amarkantak of M P & Dravidian University in Kuppam of Chittur District of Andhra.

5. We assert that our Union Govt. should make it a point to request and assert the publishers of Oxford Lexicon to incorporate and introduce Codava Folkloric words in the dictionaries to be published. It is a fact that Oxford Lexicon finds place for 15000 words annually and having been acquired from other languages everywhere in the world. If such a thing is done touching Codava Thakk, the Oxford dictionary and Codava Thakk also enrich themselves. We request our Govt to direct the Army and police dept to introduce Codava Thakk in their language lab and make it point to insist all the trainees to memorize Codava words. It is a fact that every trainee should learn 5 different languages in the language lab.

6. Since the intentional failure of our successive Govts to protect constitutionally the Codava Thakk and Codava Tribe in order to save them from extinction. It is a certainty that what Philosopher George Bernard Shaw’s alarming that if any Govt prefers to destroy any particular race or tribe in its entirety it will eliminate that particular peoples language and their region and their inherent land where it is being spoken. Unfortunately George Bernard Shaw’s caution has almost come true in relation to Codava Thakk and their land and homeland. As such we assert that in order to save Codava Thakk & land of Codava tribals include them in the schedule list of our Constitution.

7. Treat Codava Thakk as the Administrative language with in Kodagu District under article 350B of our Constitution.

8. Include Codava Thakk in the regular curriculum under article 371 of our Constitution.

9. Consider Codava Thakk to be the third language in the curriculum in the entire state of Karnataka as is done with regard to Konkani language and French Language.

10. Recognize Codava minority race to be a regular linguistic minority (unfortunately not a single educational institution run by Codavas so far has been given minority education Institution tag all these years. Even though our language richly deserves such a thing) and extend all such reservations as are done with regard to other minority languages and linguistic minority groups in the state of Karnataka initially and the entire nation in general and facilitate to recognize education institutions already in existence and expected to be established in course of time and extend exemption under article 29 and 30 of our constitution

11. Declare the days of Codava minority’s festivities; i.e Puthari, Kailpoud, Edmayar, Kakkada padnet to be State holidays on par with other recognized festivals.

12. Switch over to all the historical and traditional Codava names of places in Kodagu as existed prior to 1956. Which have been changed to kannada hegemony and implement such a things at once.

13. Even though the govt of karanataka has agreed the recommendations made by Dr. Dwaraknath Commission to call Codava By race as “Codava” and “Codavaru” and remove the words of “Codaga” and “Codagaru”, the same has not been Published in the official gazette. We insist that such things to be published in the official gazette at once.

14. Codava thakk news bulletin should be Broadcasted in the DD1 and All India Radio throughout the state and nation on par with other languages. Permanent Codava service/ desk should be opened regarding Codava thakk in Prasara Bharathi (DD New Delhi and All India Radio new Delhi)

15. We insist our Govt. to request BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) to open a Codava Thakk service has his being done in relation to Kurdis Service, Pasthun service etc etc at its earliest.

16. If a Prasara Bharathi service of hostile Country Pakistan’s “Balochi” language could be started in our DD news channel recently; why not the historically ancient Codava Thakk is given such credibility?

17. At Delhi Hut, INA (southern Delhi) Codava Cuisine outlet should be started.

18. Rich Heritage of Codava tribal World & Folkloric culture of Codava tribalism should be included in the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO.

We further insist that the things has made out above shall be implemented. We believe that our demands as mentioned above are recognized at least at this hour.

Addenda: After the amalgamation of our cherished homeland in 1956, the then Part 'C' State of India, systematic ethnic cleansing carried out step by step & Kannada hegemonic policy imposed on Codavas tribe. First step of such evil design was changing the names of all Codava festivities besides changing the traditional Codava names of every village into Kannada. For example our prime festival Puthari which symbolizes the arrival of New rice to Codava households; Pudia+ari is Puthari ,now Puthari is Kannadified into Huthari. Hutha+ari - Hutta means snake’s nest/den. Totally vulgarized. Puthari is a sacred festival on par with Pongal of Tamil calendar & Bisaki of Sikhism calendar.

Let us see the Codava folkloric villages’ & Hamlets’ names, how systematically vulgarized into Kannada. 1 Palanda into Halgunda, Payyada into Hysodlure, Nalnaad into Nalkunaadu, Botoli into Betoli, Thora into Thomara, Paleri into Haleri, Bonda into Bilugunda, Pattipole into Hattihole, Poramalenaad into Horamalenaad, Path into Hakathur, Permad into Hermadu,Pathur into Hathur, Buttangala into Bittangala, Podd into Hodduru, Balamberi into Balamuri, Pudikeri into Hudikeri, Noorokkanaad into Noorokkalunaad & so on. Besides, festivals like Kailpoud into Kailmuhart, Cauveri Changrandhi into Cauveri Sankramana, Bodnamme into Bedu Habba(can they dare to pronounce Pongal as Hongal? Bisaki as Visaki ?), Kakkada Padnett as Haati hadinentu. It shows their disrespect towards Codava heritage and identity. Even they repeatedly pronounce Codava in the all Governmental documents as Kodagaru in spite of Dr. Dwarakanath Commission report for rectification as Codava in Consideration of request made by CNC .This is the reflection of human rights violation by State Govt. through their occupational officialdom on Codava heritage. Karnataka Govt. wants to rename all the ancient places of Kannada territory. For example Belgaum into Belagavi, Bangalur into Bengaluru, Mangalore into Mangaluru, Mysore into Mysuru, Gulbarga into Kalaburgi, Bijapura into Vijayapura. In fact no such names were in existence earlier. Yogi Adhithyanath Govt. in UP has replaced the name of Lucknow into Lakanvathi and Allahabad into Prayagraj. Even earlier Governments have changed and replaced many Historical place name for example Bombay into Mumbai, Calcutta into Kolkata, Madras into Chennai, Cochin into Kochi & Trivandrum into Thiruvananthapuram.

Names will attain its birth/creation/origin according to the historical, Cultural, Social, Political & Folkloric situation of the respective places. Around any ancient/ Historical nomenclature of the places, it will be surrounded by thousands of folkloric beliefs & myths. Hence changing, Vulgarizing & subverting Codava nomenclature is vandalism and destruction of any community or groups identity will amount to war crime as per UN charter. Karnataka Govt. being the official custodian of Codava tribalism, instead of protecting us it systematically vandalized our identity & heritage markers.

It’s amazing how any human being will see his/her dreams in their respective mother tongue only .Even during joyous moments & traumatic conditions he/she expresses/exclaims in his mother tongue only. While in battlefield one exclaims his war cry in his mother tongue only. Even when seriously wounded in war he screams in his mother tongue only (Though he may know many languages, that doesn't matter. Mother tongue will spontaneously make him to speak and think about his mother which is unique & universally accepted unwritten divine policy) Codava being the martial tribe participated in innumerable wars in Coorg, National & Global arena he exclaimed War cry in his mother tongue Codava thakk only. Similarly in Devaatt Parmab tragic genocide on Codava tribe cunningly perpetrated by Tipu & French east India Company Army to eliminate entire Codava tribe, Codava martial tribes expressed trauma by screaming in Codava thakk only. For these reasons, on international mother tongue day we CNC offer floral tribute at Devaatt Parmab tragic massacre site besides Sathyagriha at Madikeri.

SUBJECT: Request to include Codava Quest for Geo - Political Autonomy in the Constitutional amendment Bill to be presented before the Parliament for assigning greater autonomy to 10 autonomous councils in the Sixth Schedule areas of North-East.

Please Note: CHAPTER 8: UNION STATE RELATION 8.23.1 OF CRC/ CONSTITUTION REVEIW COMMISSION REPORT.

The Union Cabinet has approved a Constitutional amendment to give greater Autonomy to 10 autonomous Councils in the Sixth Schedule areas of the North -East. Deepening autonomy is welcome as it provides local communities a greater say.

Encouraged by the news mentioned in the above subject, we take this opportunity to press the Govt. for assigning Geo –Political Autonomy to Codava territory i.e. Coorg aka Kodagu in Karnataka. Until the year 1956, Coorg the indivisible & traditional home land of Codava tribe was a ‘C’ type state of Indian Union. It was known as well administered, rich, content & happiest region in India and the subjects were being looked after very well by the Govt. Needless to add that Codava tribe was known for its chivalry, gallantry and are valiant, ready to sacrifice their life and spend every paisa earned for the development of this region.

Codava martial tribes are considered to be the minuscule micro minority group of tribe in the world. Our contribution to the World peace & National Sovereignty is unparalleled. The largest section of our tribe did participate in the Second World War (World War 2) with a desire to keep peace in the global arena & ultimately it led to Constitution of UNO through Atlantic declaration which became gateway for transformation of new civilized society and consideration of Universal human rights & Rights of Self-determination. After India attained

Independence, Codava tribes’ contribution for the sake of the country's development, peace, prosperity, integrity & extraordinary Sovereignty by fully involving for the national security by actively participating in the Armed forces is enormous.

But unfortunately the Governance of the State of Mysore, now Karnataka, has neglected us and carried out many unwanted & unexplainable modus operandi which forced us to flee from our cherished Homeland. In other words it definitely amounts to ethnic cleansing, expanding internal colonialism & forced exodus theory. Karnataka is ethnically diverse and were 1 or 2 Major communities are dominate the state to the exclusion of others where we Codava tribal people have been excluded from all democratic well fare state schemes and we have been marginalized, disrespected and ignored. By assigning autonomy we can expect the true equilibrium of socio-political and political cultural engineering.

We reiterate an inevitable fact the entire Officialdom do behave as though they are the occupational forces of old Mysore. The people of old Mysore area behave themselves to be the illegally empowered. Occupational force Lesser said the better they have even demonstrated themselves to be a force assigned with powers to snatch and seize all Codava folkloric rights, dress divine sites ,shrines, Cultural heritage etc. which is un Called for.

The entire Codava tribalism would be, Very thank full to you if you carry out our request. The proposed amendment to Article 280 and the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution will increase financial and executive powers of 10 autonomous District Councils in Meghalaya, Assam, Mizoram and Tripura. The Codava martial tribes in Codava territory are exclusively demonstrating the things what the 10 above mentioned autonomous regions do.

Coorg, the traditional Homeland of Codava tribe is strategically very significant on par with North-East. Hence the entire Codava tribe is very important to the nation. Unless the Geopolitical aspirations of Codava tribe is assigned with Autonomy status to safeguard the land, language, Cultural heritage, folkloric repositories, right of self- determination etc., we fear that it would be a great loss to the very security of the greater India.

Our request for assigning autonomy to Coorg has been conceded by Constitution Review commission (CRC) in the year 2002, headed by justice M. N. Venkatachalaiah, Eminent Jurists, Constitutional experts & Stalwarts like former Speaker of Lok Sabha P. A. Sangma, Dr. Sumitra Kulkarni, Justice Jeevan Reddy, Justice R. S. Sarkaria, former Secretary General of Lok Sabha Dr. Subhash C Kashyap, Justice Punnaiah, Editor of Statesman Irani, Former Attorney Generals M/s Soli Sorabji & K. Parasharan. The report submitted by the CRC gained its entry in the Book of Constitution under Centre State relation Under CHAPTER- 8 UNION STATE RELATION 8.23.1 OF CRC REPORT. Therefore we hopefully request you to do the needful to include CNC’s request (of autonomous status to Kodagu) in the proposed Amendment Bill to be presented before the ensuing Parliamentary session.

3. Ethno Linguistic Codava Martial tribe/ Codava Mountain tribe/ Codava cardamom tribe/ Codava agro-pastoral tribe should be included in the ST list of our Constitution.

4. Codava National Council urges the Government to open Codavology bench in Global Nalanda University in Rajgir of Bihar, Indira Gandhi National Tribal University in Amarkantak of M P & Dravidian University in Kuppam of Chittur District of Andhra.

5. We assert that our Union Govt. should make it a point to request and assert the publishers of Oxford Lexicon to incorporate and introduce Codava Folkloric words in the dictionaries to be published. It is a fact that Oxford Lexicon finds place for 15000 words annually and having been acquired from other languages everywhere in the world. If such a thing is done touching Codava Takk , the Oxford dictionary and Codava Takk also enrich themselves.

a. We request our Govt to direct the Army and police dept to introduce Codava Takk in their language lab and make it point to insist all the trainees to memorize Codava words. It is a fact that every trainee should learn 5 different languages in the language lab.

6. Since the intentional failure of our successive Govts to protect constitutionally the Codava Takk and Codava Tribe in order to save them from extinction. It is a certainty that what Philosopher George Bernard Shaw’s alarming that if any Govt prefers to destroy any particular race or tribe in its entirety it will eliminate that particular peoples language and their region and their inherent land where it is being spoken. Unfortunately George Bernard Shaw’s caution has almost come true in relation to Codava Takk and their land and homeland. As such we assert that in order to save Codava Takk & land of Codava tribals include them in the schedule list of our Constitution.

7. Treat Codava Takk as the Administrative language with in Kodagu District under article 350B of our Constitution.

8. Include Codava Takk in the regular curriculum under article 347 of our Constitution.

9. Consider Codava Takk to be the third language in the curriculum in the entire state of Karnataka as is done with regard to Konkani language and French Language.

10. Recognize Codava minority race to be a regular linguistic minority (unfortunately not a single educational institution run by Codavas so far has been given minority education Institution tag all these years. Even though our language richly deserves such a thing) and extend all such reservations as are done with regard to other minority languages and linguistic minority groups in the state of Karnataka initially and the entire nation in general and facilitate to recognize education institutions already in existence and expected to be established in course of time and extend exemption under article 29 and 30 of our constitution.

11. Declare the days of Codava minority’s festivities; i.e Puthari, Kailpoud, Edmayar, Kakkada padnet to be State holidays on par with other recognized festivals.

12. Switch over to all the historical and traditional Codava names of places in Kodagu as existed prior to 1956. Which have been changed to kannada hegemony and implement such a things at once.

13. Even though the govt of karanataka has agreed the recommendations made by Dr. Dwaraknath Commission to call Codava By race as “Codava” and “Codavaru” and remove the words of “Codaga” and “Codagaru”, the same has not been Published in the official gazette. We insist that such things to be published in the official gazette at once.

14. Codava Takk news bulletin should be Broadcasted in the DD1 and All India Radio throughout the state and nation on par with other languages. Permanent Codava service/ desk should be opened regarding Codava Takk in Prasara Bharathi (DD New Delhi and All India Radio new Delhi)

15. We insist our Govt. to request BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) to open a Codava Takk service has is being done in relation to Kurdis Service, Pasthun service etc etc at its earliest.

16. If a Prasara Bharathi service of hostile Country Pakistan’s “Balochi” language could be started in our DD news channel recently; why not the historically ancient Codava Takk is given such credibility?

17. At Delhi Hut, INA (southern Delhi) Codava Cuisine outlet should be started.

18. Rich Heritage of Codava tribal World & Folkloric culture of Codava tribalism should be included in the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO.

We further insist that the things has made out above shall be implemented. We believe that our demands as mentioned above are recognized at least at this hour.

Addenda: After the amalgamation of our cherished homeland in 1956, the then Part 'C' State of India, systematic ethnic cleansing carried out step by step & Kannada hegemonic policy imposed on Codavas tribe. First step of such evil design was changing the names of all Codava festivities besides changing the traditional Codava names of every village into Kannada. For example our prime festival Puthari which symbolizes the arrival of New rice to Codava households; Pudia+ari is Puthari ,now Puthari is Kannadified into Huthari. Hutha+ari - Hutha means snake’s nest/den. Totally vulgarized. Puthari is a sacred festival on par with Pongal of Tamil calendar & Bisaki of Sikhism calendar.

Let us see the Codava folkloric villages’ & Hamlets’ names, how systematically vulgarized into Kannada. Paka into Hakathur, Palanda into Halgunda, Payyada into Hysodlure, Nalnaad into Nalkunaadu, Botoli into Betoli, Thora into Thomara, Paleri into Haleri, Bonda into Bilugunda, Pattipole into Hattihole, Poramalenaad into Horamalenaad, Path into Hakathur, Permad into Hermadu, Path into Hathur, Buttangala into Bittangala, Podd into Hodduru, Balamberi into Balamuri, Bollarimad in to Bellarimadu, Kunjeri in to Kunjalageri, Peggala in to Heggala, Buttangala in to Bittangala, Pacchenad in to Hacchenadu, Pacchat in to Hacchinadu, Buttiyanda Okka in to Bittiyanda, Podd in to Hoddur, Pudikeri into Hudikeri, Buttyanda into Bittiyanda, Nuppadokka into Moovathoklu, Napadokka into Nalvathoklu / Napok into Napoklu, Aimbadokka into Aivathoklu, Arvadokka into Arvathoklu, Noorokkanaad into Noorokkalunaad & so on. Besides, festivals like Kailpoud into Kailmuhart, Cauveri Changrandhi into Cauveri Sankramana, Bodnamme into Bedu Habba, Eth Porata in to Ethu Herata, Bolakat in to Belakata, (can they dare to pronounce Pongal as Hongal? Bisaki as Visaki ?), Kakkada Padnett as Haati hadinentu. It shows their disrespect towards Codava heritage and identity. Even they repeatedly pronounce Codava in the all Governmental documents as Kodagaru in spite of Dr. Dwarakanath Commission report for rectification as Codava in Consideration of request made by CNC .This is the reflection of human rights violation by State Govt. through their occupational officialdom on Codava heritage.

Karnataka Govt. wants to rename all the ancient places of Kannada territory. For example Belgaum into Belagavi, Bangalur into Bengaluru, Mangalore into Mangaluru, Mysore into Mysuru, Gulbarga into Kalaburgi, Bijapura into Vijayapura. In fact no such names were in existence earlier. Yogi Adhithyanath Govt. in UP has replaced the name of Lucknow into Lakanvathi and Allahabad into Prayagraj. Even earlier Governments have changed and replaced many Historical place name for example Bombay into Mumbai, Calcutta into Kolkata, Madras into Chennai, Cochin into Kochi & Trivandrum into Thiruvananthapuram.

Names will attain its birth/creation/origin according to the historical, Cultural, Social, Political & Folkloric situation of the respective places. Around any ancient/ Historical nomenclature of the places, it will be surrounded by thousands of folkloric beliefs & myths. Hence changing, Vulgarizing & subverting Codava nomenclature is vandalism and destruction of any community or groups identity will amount to war crime as per UN charter. Karnataka Govt. being the official custodian of Codava tribalism, instead of protecting us it systematically vandalized our identity & heritage markers.

It’s amazing how any human being will see his/her dreams in their respective mother tongue only .Even during joyous moments & traumatic conditions he/she expresses/exclaims in his mother tongue only. While in battlefield one exclaims his war cry in his mother tongue only. Even when seriously wounded in war he screams in his mother tongue only (Though he may know many languages, that doesn't matter. Mother tongue will spontaneously make him to speak and think about his mother which is unique & universally accepted unwritten divine policy) Codava being the martial tribe participated in innumerable wars in Coorg, National & Global arena he exclaimed War cry in his mother tongue Codava Takk only. Similarly in Devaatt Parmab tragic genocide on Codava tribe cunningly perpetrated by Tipu & French east India Company Army to eliminate entire Codava tribe, Codava martial tribes expressed trauma by screaming in Codava Takk only. For these reasons, on international mother tongue day we CNC offer floral tribute at Devaatt Parmab tragic massacre site besides Sathyagriha at Madikeri.

Post Script : We are happy to announce that Codava Takk is the living spoken language of Codava race and has been identified as popular spoken languages among other 16 such languages in India. To quote formidable evidence better always go through MANORAMA YEAR BOOK 2014 Published from kottayam 686001- Kerala, India. Incidentally MANORAMA YEAR BOOK is the result of a joint venture of the week and MALAYALA MANORAMA. We are further happy to announce that such a thing is the direct consequence of CNC/ Codava National Council’s agitation successively during the past 26 years and now that such a thing has been identified by the people and intelligentsia of this Nation. The MANORAMA YEAR BOOK is the prime source of knowledge for preparatory exams to IAS & IFS interns. MANORAMA YEAR BOOK is the outcome of known intellectuals, Socio- political scientists, scholars and authoritative personages across the world. Enough if one goes through the contents that appeared in the MANORAMA YEAR BOOK 2014 and has repeated in the matter even in the year 201, 2016 & 2017 also as mentioned to prove our claims about the inclusion of Codava Language in the 8th schedule of our Constitution. It in fact is the best and formal certificate about the significance of Codava language. Only the thing that remains to be done is the Govt of India should recognize Codava Takk as a regular language and include the same in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution. A suggestion now comes fourth even though they said language had unique and independent character has been suppressed by the authorities throughout and now it has gained momentum on account of the relentless struggle towards such an end by our organization; i.e CNC / Codava National Council. No doubt true that there may be innumerable languages and each and every person certainly knows and talks many languages including his or her own mother Tongue, but strangely enough all individuals have dreams in their own mother Tongue. Hence our mother Tongue Codava Takk is paramount for us. This is enough to substantiate Codava demand for the inclusion of the Codava Takk in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution and also to be considered as one of the languages of UNO. It hurts us to inform you that we definitly have submitted innumerable Memorandums and applications touching the question of Codava Land Autonomous Region and the inclusion of Codava Takk in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution during the course of our struggle and we have courage to add that Codava Takk full fills all the necessary qualifications to be incorporated in the 8th schedule of our Constitution.

We have conducted Sathyagraha on the day of 21/02/2019 in the vicinity of the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Kodagu Madikeri-571201 to mark the World Mother Tongue Day. One must remember that a Mother Tongue takes prominence and becomes paramount and mother tongue stands first the entire world takes secondary position.

By the 71st Amendment to the Constitution, 16.konkani. 17.Manipuri. 18.Nepali were added to the list in 1992. In 2003, four more languages were added 19.Bodo. 20.Dogri. 21.Maithili. 22.Santhali(92nd Amendment). It may not be an out of place act on our part if we be permitted to inform you that no prier recommendations of the any of the Constituent states is neither required nor mandatory for the inclusion of any language; much less Codava Takk in the 8th schedule of our Constitution. To quote an example we drag this opportunity to remind you a fact that no prior recommendation was ever obtained from any states of Indian Union before the inclusion in the 8th schedule of above mentioned languages such an analogy should be followed in respect of Codava Takk for inclusion in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution.

We appreciate the attitude, conviction & vision of Shri B.K Hariprasad, The Hon’ble member of Rajya Sabha in order to save Codava Takk is proved while he moved a PVT member Bill (Constitution Amendment Bill 2016) in the parliament seeking the inclusion of Codava Takk in the 8th schedule annex to our Constitution & It has been tabled & Discussed in the August House, cutting across the party line all the respectable members of Rajya Sabha supported the Bill moved by Mr. B.K Hariprasad for the inclusion of Codava Takk in the 8th schedule of our Constitution, and on behalf of Govt MOS for Home Mr. Kiron Rijiju supported the move and he expressed the opinion that the Union Govt is willing to concede Codava Takk for the inclusion of 8th Schedule in the Constitution.

It is an unforgettable factor that the known linguist of South India rev. Bishop Caldwell even went to the extent of asserting Codava Takk to be the main mother source of the Pancha Dravida languages i.e Tulu, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam & Kannada and affirms that Codava Takk is the base sources of all these languages. Even the Nationally acclaimed linguist Pro. Sitakant Mahapathra has recommended the inclusion of 38 languages in the 8th schedule of our Constitution and Codava Takk is the 19th in its list.

Demand for more languages for inclusion in the Eighth Schedule

Now a time certainly has reached to make a definitive arrangement to include Codava thak in the 8th schedule of our constitution as early as possible and in consonance with the things what we mentioned here under. To include Codava minority language i.e Codava thak in the Constitution and do all such things towards the things as are enlisted here under in the interest of justice, equity, equality and good morals.

Restarting of Ethnographic survey on CODAVA TRIBE — CNC thanks CM Kumara Swamy and Social Welfare Minister Priyank Kharge- N.U.Nachappa Codava President CNC.
Our legitimate Aspirations should be treated as rights and one should not beg for alms- Nachappa

a. For taking our subject acutely. We are sure that this time the survey will be completed in scientific way and the subject will reach parliament through our CM for enactment. If we are included in the schedule list of our Constitution, our land, language, and cultural heritage will be protected. Our tribalism, habitat, historical continuity will be statutorily ratified besides economic growth social cultural empowerment and political autonomy (Physical protection, financial security & political freedom and Codava geo-political stability).

b. Demanding & claiming for the inclusion of non-schedule Codava tribe in the schedule list of our Constitution is a democratic & legitimate right of Codava tribe.

c. Protecting Codava tribe statutorily is a Constitutional duty & National responsibility of the ruling class as well as of the major community of the State & Nation.

d. It is obligatory under article 51A (f) of our Constitution to preserve and protect the minority tribal group who are having distinctive culture. The majoritarian community who are helming the State craft should protect any given minority tribe who live under their dominion.

e. Codavas are the glorified tribal of this nation. Unless statutory protection accorded through the enactment of our Constitution is extended, Codava tribe cannot survive in the present competitive world.

f. Kodagu is the indivisible and traditional homeland of the miniscule micro-minority indigenous Codava Tribe.

g. CODAVAS ARE THE NATIVES OF CODAVA LAND LIKE HOW KASHMIRI PANDITHS ARE TO KASHMIR AND HISPANICS TO AMERICA.

h. CODAVAS HAVE THEIR CULTURAL ROOTS ONLY IN KODAGU. In recent past many people from other communities who have their cultural roots elsewhere have settled in Coorg in four phases, i.e., after 1633, the start of Lingayats rule; 1834, the advent of British rule; 1947, after Independence; 1956, after the merger of Part 'C' State which is the homeland of Codavas.

i. We Codava Tribal people must have the feeling that we are content, safe and protected under majoritarian dominion. On the contrary we feel unsecured, intimidated, marginalized, ignored and disrespected in this majoritarian ruling State. It is undemocratic and violation of human rights

j. We Codava Tribe Whenever we raised any demand for justice which is due from the Constitution, the majoritarian ruling class covertly, cunningly and shamelessly undermined the subject through others. They need to heed to our legitimate Constitutional demand.

k. The demand for autonomous Codava land and inclusion in the tribal list comes under the purview of international human rights covenants. As per UN charter any democratically elected Civilized Govts must protect the interests of any given minority tribe, whether ethnic, national, racial, linguistic, cultural group who are in minuscule number. UN has repeatedly ratified this subject time to time in various international conventions on human rights declarations and India is a signatory for the UN covenants on human rights. We Codava tribe are in edgy position & are in a vulnerable State of affairs politically, under the majoritarian ruling class. Hence Codava right is human right.

l. The Codava tribe must be officially documented in the Statecraft. Unless and until we are documented, we cannot aspire for any social engineering program and will not get entry in the welfare State theory and socio- economic empowerment envisaged by the Government.

m. As a rule of law, democratically elected civilized Governments do procure and posses official documents of all communities coming under their jurisdiction. We must understand that we are not in a colonial era or medieval era or under police State or communist State. Hence Codava tribe must be documented in the Statecraft officially. Only then we can authoritatively aspire for Constitutional protection. THE ETHNOGRAPHIC SURVEY ON CODAVA TRIBE WILL BE THE GATEWAY FOR THE INCLUSION OF CODAVA TRIBE IN THE SCHEDULE LIST OF OUR CONSTITUTION. LET US ALL JOIN IN THIS MISSION FOR SECURED, CONTENTED, BETTER TOMORROW.

n. We Codavas must feel a sense of secured atmosphere. The majoritarian community should create an atmosphere that subaltern Codava tribe are in their protective zone. That is the real beauty of democracy. India is a nation with largest democracy as well as having largest ethnic diversity in the whole world.

o.The recent catastrophic landslide disaster victims of 7 folkloric Codava Naads of North Western Coorg is fully comprised of poorest of poor Codava tribes who mirror the true tribalism defined by the Union Ministry of tribal affairs for establishing one’s claim for the inclusion in the Schedule list of our Constitution.

p. We Codava people in unison will extend our full support and co-operation besides participating in the ethnographic survey for a secured & better tomorrow. By supporting our cause, our CM should exhibit true Statesmanship. CNC will be ever grateful and extend its heartfelt gratitude to those who have supported this noble cause throughout, specially M/S Dr. Subramaniam Swamy World Renowned Economist & RajyaSabha M.P , Sri B K Hariprasad RajyaSabha M.P., Dr. C S Dwarakanath Former Chairman Karnataka backward class commission Chairman, Pro. Dr. Balvir Arora former Rector of JNU New Delhi and Renowned political Scientist, Mr. K G Bopaiah M.L.A. Virajpet, Sri Appachu Ranjan M.L.A Madikeri, Smt. Veena Achaiah M.L.C, Sri PrathapSimha M.P, Mr. Adagur Viswanath Ex M.P, Sri Jagadish Shetty National General Secretary (VHS) Virat Hindustan Sangam, Sri B.G.Mittu Chengappa, Senior State Congress Leader, Shri Mohan Chandran Nambiyar, State Congress Leader & Shri BrijeshKalappa, Advocate & Congress National Spokes Person and all CNC supporters.

CNC President Mr N. U. Nachappa Codava in a delegation met Tribal Research Institute (TRI) Director Dr.Basavana Gowda & H Girish. And Discussed about the modalities of ongoing (halfway stalled) Ethnographic Survey on Codava Tribe. Mr Nachappa Codava assured TRI Director that Codava tribe in Unision will participate and extend full Co operation for the ethnographic Survey. Dr. Basavana Gowda promised the delegation that TRI team will carry out the ethnographic Survey scientifically with a judicious approach.

The CNC delegation Comprised of M\ s Mookonda Dilip , Chambanda Janath, Areyada Girish, Apparanda Poovanna, & Apparanda Reena Poovanna.

Establish Special Disaster Management Ministry to rehabilitate the displaced victims of the catastrophic landslide in the 7 Codava Naads in the North-western Coorg region

In the recently occurred catastrophic landslide in the Harangi Reservoir catchment area of North-western Coorg region which was severely affected in 7 Codava Naads for which the displaced victims are on the streets, now they should be rehabilitated in a dignified and content manner in the very same place where they lived for generations.

The current District in charge Minister has the responsibility over the entire state and therefore cannot spend all his time on the rehabilitation program and so we require a Ministry exclusively for taking care of the landslide victims, the Ministry thus established needs to help permanently rehabilitate the victims and the Secretariat should be comprised of all departments and the entire team should only focus on the rehabilitation, since the tragedy is not a mere a calamity but an international disaster.

By projecting in the media that entire Coorg is affected is wrong, through that projection the real victims will be ignored and glossed over as crop loss and illegal riverbank encroaching is common phenomena and the government might try to call the entire thing a common phenomena and refuse to give as much help as necessary, and say that they have done enough for the common phenomena and wash their hands off it.

For example in such cases when there is damages due to minor floods of 1 lakh rupees the government just gives 5 thousand rupees and says that it is sufficient, and such a thing must not happen this time. For this we have to trifurcate the issue, which are, in order of importance, catastrophic landslide victims, crop losses, and flood affected illegal riverbank encroaching.

In the 20×30km radius 7 Codava Naads of North-western part of Coorg region which were severely affected and it is a real international disaster, if projected properly, we will get United Nations Disaster Management funds and other international disaster relief funds as well as help from Diaspora community for the real rehabilitation and genuine rebuilding programme, sadly many NGO's are making people sign over their properties to the forest department at the promise of new living place and living expenses and portraying it so that foreign organizations donate money and the NGO's keeping most of the donated money for themselves and barely helping the victims.

Big outside companies send their workers to the relief camps during heavy rainfall so that they don't have the responsibility to feed the workers

More than 5 thousand crores worth of relief funds that flowed in have been looted by officialdom and relief mafia and Rohingyas and Bangladeshi majority took shelter in the relief camp.

(The Outside companies and estates, particularly Balaji estate of Liquor Barren Adhikeshavalu and Mahalaxmi estate.)

The media has systematically projected that the catastrophic landslide affected Codava territory is comprised of rich planters and their labourers to the outside world when in reality the victims are hardworking poor Codava tribals who are having small holdings of land and they don't use labourers but instead use mutual help from all their neighbors. In real sense it is a Codava folkloric repository of Codava Tribal heritage.

The workers that have been sent to the relief camps pretend to be the landslide victims in front of the media This system known as "Muyyaal-Koodaal" This is a Codava folkloric tribal region, it is akin to Rabindranath Tagore's Shanthinikethana.

These Immigrant Workers possess ID proof of Coorg will get all benefits in the future in the name of rehabilitation, and they will be considered native displaced residents.

The relief funds and materials have not reached to all victims across the 7 Naads.

The Majority of the victims are not in the relief camp and they took shelter with their kith and kin who were working as security guards, hotel staff, and salespersons in Mysore and Bangalore.

Now that they are returning as the landslide and floods have stopped they have not received any essential materials from the relief camps as they have been embezzled by the relief mafia and WhatsApp mafia who pose as the victims and take the materials in coalition with the Black Market.

Now that they are returning as the landslide and floods have stopped they have not received any essential materials from the relief camps as they have been embezzled by the relief mafia and WhatsApp mafia who pose as the victims and take the materials in coalition with the Black Market.

The relief funds and materials that have been provided by the people of the entire country and the some parts of the world which was supposed to go to the landslide victims instead the funds went to the undeserving people who reside in Coorg and the materials went to the Black Market warehouse.

And in place of the new household materials like Cookers, Geysers, Blankets, Heaters, etc. which would have been enough for 2 years were taken by people who can afford to buy new ones and replaced by their old and worn out items from their homes.

One troublesome notion has been generated that in the name of relief fund donations people are opening bank accounts and advertising them as places to donate for the relief funds and keeping all the donations they get for themselves, there are more than one thousand such accounts and these need to be stopped by the government and confiscated and a high level investigation needs to take place to stop the fraud of relief funds and materials.

The victims desperately need Kerosene and Rice which they are not getting and instead going to the different panchayats. If you are not empathizing with the catastrophic landslide victims properly with the permanent rehabilitation programme you should leave it to us and separate the geopolitical boundary as UT status with autonomy and we will show the entire world that we will rehabilitate in a dignified manner within an year.

Not only that, out of the 14 districts in our neighbouring Kerala state 12 districts which are severely affected by the landslide and floods, we have the compassion, magnanimity, and political will to help them to rehabilitate and look after their well being if we attain Codavaland autonomy (The rehabilitation ministry needs to involve experts in the fields of revenue, survey, agriculture, coffee board and till the rehabilitation is complete they should not be involved in the parent department) Don't play dirty politics and give us false promises and don't manipulate with relief fund mafia and relief material mafia in the name of landslide disaster in the Codava region and be sober. We know that we are not safe and secure in your hegemonic suzerainty so if you really care about the well being of our future generations our fate will be protected and guaranteed through political self determination right with attaining our geopolitical goal. Now the relief fund and material has been distributed to undeserved persons & illegal immigrants across Coorg  and the landslide affected region in particular & real victims in general are being  ignored & marginalised  completely.

Some visual media houses are exaggerating & advertising that entire Coorg is 100 percent effected by severe flood in the caption KODAGU AKSHARASHA JALA SAMADHI AAGIDE and attracting foreign relief funds  which is not reaching the real  disaster victims .Actually  only 12 percent of Coorg , 20 ×30 kms radius arround the Harangi Reservior catchment area comprising of 7 Naads of North Western Coorg(three ZP constituencies) is affected. Hence this fact & statistics has to be projected in the media so that the real victims get the benefit for their permanent rehabilitation.

Misappropriation of money  by some people in the name  of landslide victims relief fund account and involving in relief materials mafia racket is akin to pillage  in war torn region.( More than 1000 accounts are operating across the  country by individuals organizations and institutions on Kodagu relief fund.)

CNC's confidence building program of catastrophic landslide victims and the affected areas in all the 7 Codava Naads of North-western region for consoling and motivating the people for rehabilitation, in its first part CNC President N U Nachappa Codava visited  Surlabinaad on 11th September, 2018.

Nachappa Codava addressed a large gathering of displaced victims at Surlabinaad and Muttlu village and the victims unanimously resolved to stay in the very same place where they had lived for millennia and they vowed to follow CNC for their well being.

And on 21st of September the displaced victims under the leadership of CNC will conduct a Human Chain.

Press Conference – Press release
To Whom so ever it may concern

Tipu colluded with the French East India Company to form an allied force whose military was under the leadership of French General Lolly and Nawab of Karnool Runmust Khan Devaatt paramb tragic genocide is the most traumatic chapter in the history of Codava tribalism .This cold blooded murder occurred on 12 December 1785 by brutal barbarian Tipu .This heinous genocide did not attract the notice of the world community because of our illiteracy. But Jews holocaust reached the global arena and is included in the international holocaust list of UNO only because of Jews High literary back ground since the inception of Biblical religion. Now we want justice for Codava genocide . CNC’s demands regarding this topic are as follows.

1) Devaatt Paramb tragic genocide should be included in the international holocaust remembrance list of UNO.

2) International holocaust remembrance Museum should be established jointly funded by Govt of France , Govt of India & UNO.

3) French Govt should apologize Codava tribal world for participating in this genocide colluding with Tipu 234 years back.

4) International Standard of genocide memorial monument should be established at Devaattparamb Codava genocide site

5) Indian Parliament Should Condemn & denigrate the Devaattparmb tragic genocide and expose the hidden monster face of Tipu to the entire world.

6) Kush+Allanagar is the name shake of Tipu Should be removed and either rename it as Frazerpet or name it as War hero Gallant Commander Kullettira Ponnanna

who fought and chased the invading Army of Hyder & Tipu @ Baicahnahalli & Mullusoge.

One must console and exhibit the repentance and express solace to the descendants of Devaatt Paramb genocide victims by considering the above mentioned demands judiciously. Instead the Government shamelessly celebrates Tipu Jayanthi in Codavaland/Coorg and rubs salt in the wounds of Codava martial tribe. Which is un called for.

22th Annualpublic KailpoudNamme celebrations by CNC, and took out a vehicular procession in the thoroughfare of Madikeri city on 01st September 2017 with religious fervor

It is unanimously resolved to continue the agitation initiated by CNC to get all the demands until each of them are full filled and CNC has unearthed many more significant information evidencing the resources of Codava heritage. Added to it we are in the right process of work and make a definitive comparative study of all such ancient heritage tribalism their struggle liberation movements of different Ethno nationals across the world and collect all information what the Constitutions of various nations have provided to different indigenous ethnological self determination struggles. CNC will certainly cause done the research work.- N U Nachappa. We are happy that CNC has already succeeded in excavating new things connected with mother earth Codava folkloric festivities and Codava tribalism by celebrating all our festivities regularly to the public notice CNC has caused a great deed exemplifying such things and we only hope that these activities should transfer and continue to generations to generation ever after. And we should whole heartedly try our level best to prove the magnificence of rich cultural heritage of minuscule minority Codava tribe and by causing such things to the world. We must achieve and secure self determination rights and all our Constitutional rights. CNC further resolved to perceive such things during the coming year and ever after.

We have celebrated annual public Kailpoud Namme on 01st September 2017 at Madikeri middle ground Mandh. From where all the intended participants moved to capitol village passing through main thoroughfare of the city in a vehicular procession. Actual KailpoudNamme celebrated at capitol village with all the Codava folkloric games that includes Thengebodi (Coconut shooting) followed by Codava cuisine. The entire festivities started with a ritualistic worship to agro implements and Codava traditional weapons like Odikatthi, Peechekatthi and Thokk (gun) etc. publicly underneath the banyan tree in the sacred Mandh in a religious fervour. We have been observing all Codava festivities publicly during the past 2 decades without any break with an ultimate goal; let know the world about Codava folkloric image, existence, pains and pangs and readiness to participate in all national struggles together to seize the opportunity to get all our constitutional rights and leave the legacy to the future generation. All Codava participants brought as much vehicles for vehicular procession along with their friends and family and extended their solidarity with CNC.

For the Kind Publication

The Editor,

The intended participants are herby requested to bring your vehicles & weapons for the mass Pooja purpose. We further request you to bring as many vehicles and weapons facilitating to prove our solidarity on that occasion.

Codavas meet in a congregation at middle ground Mandh in Madikeri at about 10.30 a.m in the morning on 1 sep 2017. Preparatory to hold a mass Ayudha Pooja with relegious fervor – Traditional Codava Emblem Thokk -OdiKatthi and Peeche KatthiPooja along with the agro implements will be offered ceremonial Pooja with zest and enthusiasm followed by a vehicular procession through main thorough fare of Madikeri which ultimately would reach Capitol Village where the connected celebrations will be held. Oblations (Meedhi) CodavaKaronas (Ancestors) will be offered with ritualistic fervor. This 22nd time when we are celebrating public KailPoudNamme, one can expect Codava Cultural programs such as DudikottuPaat, KaronaPaat, Pariyakali, ThengeBodi (Coconut Shooting) followed by tasty Codava Cuisine.

This in fact is a part and parcel of our demand for the establishment of Codava Land UT status, Autonomous region, tribal status, inclusion of CodavaThakk in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution and protection for our land, customary personal laws and Folk Legal systems and allied subjects.

The KailPoud celebrations intended only to exhibit Codava unbreakable relationship with Mother Soil and our Martial Trait. Such celebrations shall continue forever and ever after. This in reality is the actual AyudhaPooja of CodavaTribe.

The very important thing what is done in the KailPoud name celebrations in every Clannish Codava family is that teenage boys in the respective family will be religiously blessed by family elders under the Nellakki-Nadubade on that auspicious day assigning him the familyresponsibility and he will be religiously taught by the elders to look after, run and maintain the family, he takes oath to that effect thereafter the boy or boys will be ceremoniously taken to Mandh: the another sanctum – sanctorum of Codava Race where he will be initiated into the warrior ship first he will be given sword called OdiKathi and asked him to take rounds around the tree: either Banyan Tree or People Tree in the Mandh and he would be administered Oath to the effect that he would rescue defend and take care of people and the village whenever disasters and threat occurs. Immediately thereafter he would be asked to prove his Velour by Slitting the Plantain Stumps planted around the mandh symbolically. In actual fact such a ritual is the first touching towards younger boy’s velour Courage and Gallantry.

Even though Codavas never or seldom use Weapons or Arms after the onset of Monsoon since we would be engaged in Agricultural Operation. After cleaning the Weapon and Agro implements every Codava worships the arms and Agro Implements on the day of KailPoud.

KailPoudNamme celebrations already has been starts at SurlabiNaad every year on 17-08-2017 followed by celebrations at PoramaleNaad on 22 Aug and at Muthunaad on 24 and Bengnaad on 27 such celebrations will follow at Naalnaad on 28 Aug followed by the one at Kadiyathnaad on 31 Aug every year. The public KailPoud celebrations by CNC will be on 1 Sep every year and the usual celebrations started at the time of British rule as usual will be observed in the District on 3September and the Diaspora Codavas celebratesKailPoud whole month of September. KailPoudNamme is the main Codava festivity connected with mother nature and agricultural operation and the entire Codava lot observes with Keen enthusiasm since it is most auspicious until the state of Kodagu became merged with the state of Mysore now Karnataka, the then CoorgGovt used to declare 10 days public holidays. General public use to participate in the traditional festivities by holding holiday festive sale in the manner of Kailpoud “Chathe”.

Even it is very essential that holidays should be declared effectively from 17th of August until 3 Sep, both days inclusive, we desire that at least five days of public holidays should be announced for KailPoudNamme.

One very important factor is that our children studying elsewhere and those Codavas who are employed beyond Kodagu/Coorg would get an opportunity to enjoy the KailPoudNamme and all things connected with mother soil, culture and heritage during the festival, especially if at least 7 days of all days is granted in other words all these members will get an opportunity to travel back their homeland and stay with their respective families if only long holyday’s are declared. A day’sholyday will not permit them to travel back.

Therefore CNC insist the Govt of Karnataka to declare general holidays for KailPoud celebrations on 31st August, 1, 2, 3 & 4 September for the purpose. All Codavas are requested to participate.

The intended participants are herby requested to bring your vehicles & weapons for the mass Pooja purpose underneath the Baniyan tree at middle ground Mandh Madikeri. We further request you to bring as many vehicles and weapons facilitating to prove our solidarity on that occasion.

22nd Annual Public Kail Poud namme i.e Codava Ayudha Pooja celebrations by Codava National Council / CNC on 1 Sep 2017 at Middle ground Mandh

This 22nd time when we are celebrating public Kail Poud Namme, one can expect Codava Cultural programs such as Dudikottu Paat, Karona Paat, Pariyakali, Thenge Bodi (Coconut Shooting) followed by tasty Codava Cuisine.

This in fact is a part and parcel of our demand for the establishment of Codava Land UT status, Autonomous region, tribal status, inclusion of Codava Thakk in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution and protection for our land, customary personal laws and Folk Legal systems under Articles 371 and overall Constitution Guarantee for our Economic and Political Freedom, Exclusive Codava nominated representation in the Parliament and Assembly on the lines of Anglo Indians should be given under article 331 of our Constitution, Devatt Paramb massacre – a tragic human holocaust in the mankind – We Insist for National Memorial / Monument on the lines of Jallianwala Bagh in memory of Amritsar Massacre and this tragedy should be included in the International Holocaust remembrance list of UNO, Under Indian Arms act 1959 section 3 & 4 for carry and posses fire arms by Codavas and Jamma holders should be continued and protected forever without any hindrance, Demand for the implementation of the recommendations made by Constitution review Commission of India on the insistence of Codava National Council for the creation of Coorg Development Board under article 371 of (Please note: Chapter 8 Union State relation 8.23.1 of CRC report) as has been done in relation to touching Hyderabad Karnataka Region - appropriate amendment to the Constitution is desirable at once, Codava Race should be globally recognized on par with Jews, Parsis, Sindhi, Yezidi, Kurdi, Baloch and Pastun etc, Micro Minority Ethno cultural Codava tribal race should be included in the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO, Demand for permanent deployment of NIA (National Investigating Agency) and RA&W agencies, and this demand is recently incorporated along with the other 12 demands. Our demand No. 12 mentioned above pertains to the expected threat from global radical Islamic Terrorism and transformation of Kodagu into Psychopathic ISIS ‘Ghazwa –E- Hind’ Green Corridor and Naxal Maoist Red corridor should be curtailed, by permanently deploying NIA and RA&W agencies in Kodagu (Coorg) should such a thing be carried out, Please be assured that the residence here will be able to breathe fearlessly and the interest of National security and oneness will be protected forever. The above mentioned 13 demands certainly do require immediate consideration, demanding to grant the same ‘Legal rights’ - ‘Living Entity having the status of Legal Person’ to life line River Cauvery. promulgate an Ordinance declaring the sacred River of Vedic period river Cauvery the real ancestor and God Mother of Indigenous Codava tribe on the lines with New Zealand’s ‘Whanganui’ river the ancestor of Maori tribes of that land (in India, Ganga, Yemuna & Narmada) to be a ‘’Living Entity’’ with the status of ‘’Legal person’’, Which in reality exhibit Codava Tribal Trait, we pray our Karonas to expedite the formation of Codava Land with UT status this year only.

The Kail Poud celebrations intended only to exhibit Codava unbreakable relationship with Mother Soil and our Martial Trait. Such celebrations shall continue forever and ever after.

21st year of public KakkadaPadnett Celebrations by Codava National Council held on 3rd August, 2017 (Thursday) at 10:30 hrs in Capitol Village Madikeri- This is the 21st year of public Kakkada Padnett celebrations

Under the aegis of CNC the 21st year of public Kakkada Padnett celebrations held on Thursday the 3rd August, 2017 and it was reverberating and a memorable one. Incidentally, the public celebration of Kakkada Padnett is the invention of Codava Karona’s (i.e. Codava ancestors) and ceremonious touch being championed by Codava National Council. The main purpose of Kakkada Padnett is signifying the unbreakable Codava bondage with mother earth and in reality that is our one of the folkloric religious rituals. On 18th of Kakkada, Madthopp (one particular leaf/called Madthopp) will gather 18 varieties of herbal medicinal value and we religiously consume Maddpayasa, Maddputt and Maddkool prepared out of Madthopp stock during the peak period of paddy transplantation.

Codavas being warriors/martial Tribe, basically have imbibed the necessity of agriculture from time immemorial and in reality, it is our unbreakable ritualistic act embedded in mother soil. With an intention of educating younger generation about the importance and necessity of observing this ritual, our connection with mother nature and basically agriculture, added to it acts as a unifying factor within Codavas from person to person. The prime importance is to let them understand the rich legacy of Codava culture. One other motive is to herald the very purpose of Kakkada Padnett to the world community and our motive is to educate our younger generation with the background of preservation of our cultural identity as enshrined in the article 51 (f) of the Constitution which in other words which safeguards the importance of the preservation of our composite cultural heritage and identity.

On 3rd August, 2017 the Kakkada Padnett (18th) Day, under the aegis of CNC held a public Naatinadpa ceremony/paddy transplantation at 1030 in the morning accompanied by Dudikottpaat in the paddy fields at capitol village, after paddy transplantation all the participants served with KakkadaKoli, Maddputt, Maddpayasa and other Codava cuisine. The Kakkada ceremony preceded by seeking blessi ngs of Guru Karonas.

The entire program and process gives input and ingredients to motivate, inspire and strengthen our struggle for Codava land Union Territory, autonomy, Constitutional guarantee for Codava Tribe, Inclusion of Codava Thakk in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution, Codava Tribe should be include in the schedule list of our Constitution besides Codava minority tribe should be included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage list of UNESCO.

It naturally was a ceremonious blessing occasion. All the Codava & Codavathi participants under the leadership Mr. N.U Nachappa Codava have heartily & unanimously resolved to congratulate Mr. B.K Hariprasad Member of Parliament for having moved a Pvt. Member Bill in the parliament for the inclusion of Codava Thakk in the 8th schedule of our Constitution and on the insistence of CNC the irreprisible voice of Codava World and also congratulated Mr. Kiron Rijiju Union MOS for Home for having committed the inclusion of Codava Thakk in the 8th schedule, besides CNC congratulated Shri K.G Bopaiah MLA Virajpet for having raised calling attention notice in the floor of the legislative assemble with regard to the continuation of ongoing Ethnographic Survey for the inclusion of Codava Tribe in the schedule list of our Constitution.

Expressing limitless greatfulness to the Hon’ble Sri B K Hariprasad ji MPRS for having done and caused done for the inclusion of Codava Thakk in the 8th schedule of our Constitution

Expressing limitless greatfulness to the Hon’ble Sri B K Hariprasad ji MPRS for having done and caused done for the inclusion of Codava Thakk in the 8th schedule of our Constitution through Pvt Member Bill without fear or hesitation in any manner and of any description on the floor of the Parliament House.

1. Every Codava born individual is duty bound to express immeasurable happiness and thank fullness to you for having placed a Pvt Member Bill touching the insertion of Codava Thakk and Tulu languages in the 8th schedule of the Indian Constitution on the floor of the Parliament[Rajyasabha] and you have seen to it that the same come up twice before the Parliament for discussion and on 21 July 2017 you are reported to have explained the subject in the most possible manner which each and every members present in the discussion have consented to it.

Being Codava Minority tribal I myself tried my best to do all such things whatever is possible at my reach during the past 27 years through Codava National Council / CNC and I shall remember that you yourself being a member of another linguistic minority group you have understood our pains and pangs very well which no other would have done.
4. Even though a good number of individuals have had, become Chief Ministers and cabinet Ministers after Coorg become a part and parcel of Karnataka after State re-organization [amalgamation] in the year 1956, not a single leader belongs to major community, except perhaps Shri Veerappa Moily the then Chief Minister and who belongs to a micro minority Tuluva have had the patience, goodness, concern and broad mindedness and readiness to constitute Codava Sahithya Academy as until 1994.
5. Your good self (B.K Hariprasad ji), being a member of another Micro minority (Tuluva) group of people showed your whole hearted readiness to support Codava issue on the floor of the August law making body (i.e Rajyasabha) in the Nation by bringing the subject to the ultimate of the conscience of all sections of people of our Nation and the notice of the entire world and by so doing you have educated the entire human race about the existence and aspirations of a micro minority tribe called Codava and our incessant struggle for ourselves being inserted in the 8th schedule of our Constitution this far.
6. Every born Codava is thankful to you for the whole hearted support you have done for our self. Everyone feels your scholarly speech and presentation in the Parliament house on our subject to be of great importance and of best possible manner.
7. We certainly believe that you have been carrying on the job with extraordinary zeal and undisturbed continuity.
8. Every born Codava remembers your name while waking up and feels that you (Mr. B.K Hariprasad ji) are the sole ray of hope for cause of Codava Tribalism.

Seperate Kannada State Flag - Demand for Seperate Kodagu C State @ Codava Land UT or Autonomy

The dangers of Constituting (retaining) Karnataka State Flag and assign a Separate Autonomous Codava land or Separate Statehood with UT status for Coorg in order to suppress the evil designs and seditious act of Karnataka Govt.

Undoubtedly this representation is against the decision of the Govt of Karnataka to have a separate Flag for the State and without any doubt such a decision is most anomalous and opposed to our federal constitution and all democratic behavior.

Let India continue as a powerful nation but definitely not an imperial nation- we also like to see the heterogeneous inclusive Karnataka state with a dream to include and foster to all the 5 regions particularly Coorg and its indigenous aboriginal Codava ethnic tribe as mentioned and certainly not a colonial Karnataka.

The Govt which so far has failed to take into consideration of our move to secure a separate Autonomous Codava Land to Coorg and a separate State of Kodagu/Coorg with UT Status. In reality Kodagu (Coorg) is not the only such deserving place to be recognized as UT status there are other regions also and Dakshina Kannada i.e the Tulu Nad (Mangalore), Urdu speaking Bidar, Gulbarga & Raichur of Hyderabad Karnataka region, Marati speaking Mumbai Karnataka region i.e Belgaum, Dharwad and Bijapur and predominantly Konkani speaking Karwar. As until 1956 when State reorganization was carried out the above mentioned regions have been illegally made part and parcels of the State of Old Mysore now nomenclature having been changed as the State of Karnataka.

Until 1956 there was a State of Mysore with 8 Districts namely Shimoga, Chikamagalur, Hassan, Chitradurga, Tumkur, Bangalore, Mysore and Kolar. Without the above mentioned 5 different Ethnocultural Geo Political regions there would not have been a State of Karnataka. In reality local regional language of Coorg / Kodagu is Codava Thakk and so Tulu in South Canara (Mangalore) Konkani in Karwar, Marati in Mumbai Karnataka and Urdu in Hyderabad Karnataka. Supressing all these factors the successive Governments in Karnataka have projected a total false claim stating that the State of Karnataka to be a sole homogenous territory and as such a unitary setup. But in reality Karnataka is a heterogeneous State with multilingual, multicultural, multiethnic, socio geographical fabric.

The Govt of Karnataka always suppressed the demand and aspirations of the people of 5 regions mentioned above, especially Codavas of Coorg and all their demands touching their language rights, land rights, cultural rights, Ethno tribalism identity rights, Political rights, Autonomy and internal self determination rights etc…..etc.. Whenever Codava Tribes made similar demand and agitating through the Constitutional methodology for their legitimate claim and branded all over their claim to be Anti National, Regionalism, Parochialism, propagating splitist theory, treason and sedition. Added to it all Codava demands have been treated as low class quality.

What otherwise was a small State of Mysore after amalgamation of 5 different Ethno linguistic and cultural regions the State of Karnataka could become a reality, of course with a solitary idea of the ruling class to suppress and eliminate the above mentioned regions including Coorg their distinctive and entirely different mode of Cultural and politico historical background with our own geo-political aspirations.

Coming to the subject matter proper i.e to have a separate Flag for State of Karnataka we would like to inform you that the present and successive ruling class of this “Abnormal State” would someday designate the Police Force with a separate nomenclature identical to that of “Indian Armed Forces”. The DGP would someday be called as “Chief of Army Staff” (COAS) of Karnataka and Lessers said the Better about the enigma that follows in course of time. Such a plan definitely is designed to follow things what all have transpired in the State of Jammu & Kashmir, which has separate Constitution and Flag the funniest part is the life span of Kashmir Assembly is 6 years. The head of the State (The Governor of Kashmir) is identified as Sardr – E – Riyasath the Head of the Govt (The Chief Minister / Prime Minister) as Wazeer – E – Azam.

We may expect Karnataka cabinet and assembly to project a wish to knit a separate Constitution for Karnataka and address the Head of the State to be as Rajpramukh or Diwan (The Governor) and Head of the Govt to be (The CM) as Raja Prathinidhi. Unless the Union Govt takes a definitive and stern action against the seditious wishes of Karnataka Govt at once India will see the emergence of Kingdoms, Raja’s and feudal lords flourish through Secessionism as did such things existed during Pre Independence Era.

Let not the Karnataka Govt follow the plans and programs envisaged in the Rajmannar Commission Report passed in the Tamilnadu Assembly by DMK Govt. The Anandpur Saheb resolution of Punjab dreamt up by Shiromani Akalidal in 1973. The great Autonomy charter of West Bengal passed in West Bengal Assembly in 1960’s. The Kashmir Autonomy charter passed in the J&K Assembly by Dr. Faruq Abdullah Govt in 2002. In 1990’s the Narsimha Rao Govt offered Political self rule package to undermine the extremist ULFA which was fighting for Separate Assam Nation. All the above mentioned factors do force anyone to imagine the theme designed by the ruling class of respective States coupled with the Reports, Resolutions and Charters enshrined there in except external affairs (Foreign Affairs), Currency, Defense, Postal and Communication and all other powers is expected to rest with respective States which will be addressed as full pledged self ruled Autonomous States / Quasi Independent States. In other words the entire theme is designed to leading towards for the making of Independent small Nations as did Mikhail Gorbachew did with separating the until then the USSR to be 12 Independent Nation States on Ethnic lines that existed during previous 70 years under the philosophy of “Perestroika” [political reform] and “Glasnost” economic reform imagined by Gorbacheu. In other words the Govt of Karnataka the Kannada speaking Generality, intellectuals, left oriented writers dream of having the Govt with plans identical to that of “Perestroika” of former soviet Russian Republic which ultimately would lead to the emergence of separate “Kannada Nation”.

The ironical factor may be traced from the days of chief minister ship of Devegowda in 1995 who propagated the creation of separate nation of Karnataka[threatened to split from the Indian union] should injustice be done to Karnataka on account of the distribution of Cauvery waters.

The painful factor is that almost all politicians except perhaps of 5 regions mentioned above are dreaming of carving of a separate Kannada Nation from the Indian union. All such politicians have expressed their designs when Cauvery dispute arose during the year 2016. The retention of a separate state flag for Karnataka definitely speaks volumes about the dreams of Kannada Nation and which will become the bed rock for separate nation hood.

The best and only way should be done in order to curb illegitimate plans and evil sedicious conspiracy of Karnataka to attain a nation hood is to create the 5 regions in general and particularly Coorg to be the autonomous region with UT status.

Jaitely committee appointed by the then NDA Govt headed by A B Vajpayee is known to have has already recommended for the trifurcation of Kashmir in to 3 states or UT. One should know that Vajpayee Govt has carried out this mission in order to suppress the desire for Kashmir nationhood once for all

We request that such a thing should be carried out in relation to save the integrity of India and call a stop for secessionism attitude of Karnataka, divide Karnataka into 5 regions and declare 5 Statehood Status or 5 UT’s. Let India continue as a powerful nation but definitely not an imperial nation- we also like to see the heterogeneous inclusive Karnataka state with a dream to include and foster to all the 5 regions particularly Coorg and its indigenous aboriginal Codava ethnic tribe as mentioned and certainly not a colonial Karnataka.

Codavas always are loyal to Indian state and its sovereignty its flowering constitution and our national flag which understood to be paramount to us, but certainly not a Separate Karnataka state Flag or Separate Karnataka Nation.

Should demand for greater Autonomy or Nationhood for Karnataka conferred as demanded by Govt of Karnataka they are certain to demolish all the aspirations of Kodagu [Coorg] in general Codava tribe in particular so that entire Kodagu and its traditional ethnicity becomes a forgotten thing for ever. In order to save the very entity of Coorg and its Codava tribalism it should be made Separate Union Territory of Indian union and Codava land autonomous region.

Demand to carve out Union Territory of Coorg/Kodagu and assigning Codava Land Autonomy on par with the proposed Separate State of Darjeeling Gorkha land

1. Before mentioning about the desirability of considering our pressure to include Union Territory status for Coorg in the Articles 2&3 and Codava land Autonomous region under 6th Schedule of our inimitable Constitution it would be more appropriate if we mention about the likelihood of formation of separate Gorkha Land State in the Indian Union.

2. Gorkhas a Martial Race understandably mortgaged to the defense of India on par with Codava Martial tribes. Darjeeling Gorkha land essentially is a hilly region strategically like Codava region of Coorg and like Codavas having birth right to hold “Gun” Gorkhas have unbroken right to hold “Kukri”. Like Gorkhas Codava Tribes are Patriotic people, Gorkhas have participated in the 1st& 2nd World War, Similarly Codava Tribes also participated and fought World 1st& World War 2nd Added to it both Kodagu / Coorg and Darjeeling hills are strategically significant strips and each as its own Politico - Historical and Socio - Cultural background.

3. If the treaty between British rulers, Nepal Kingdom and Gorkha Army entered during 18th century and with that the struggle for separate Gorkha land State is known to have bloomed and started then alone, The Anglo-Nepalese War (1814–16), also known as the Gorkha War, was fought between the Kingdom of Nepal (present-day Nepal) and the East India Company as a result of border disputes and ambitious expansionism of both the belligerent parties. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Sugauli in 1816, which ceded around a third of Nepal's territory to the British.

4. The British were the invading forces, while the Nepalese maintained a defensive position. The British attacked in two successive waves of invasion. It was the most expensive war waged during the governorship of Lord Moira.

5. Starting from Upanishad period until India became free Country and the year between 1952 to 1956 Coorg was a separate “C” type State of Indian Union with a proper Govt with unicameral legislature existed until then when it became subservient to the State of Mysore now Karnataka. Without any doubt Kodagu used to be a Separate Nation, Independent Nation State, Country, Kingdom, and British India Province and was a self-respected “C” type State as until 1956 under the Constitution of Independent India with the Geo – Political aspiration every born Codava was intact, formidable and nurtured. Both Gorkhas and Codava Tribes socially, culturally, linguistically, politically, ethnically, martially with historical background are alike throughout.

6. If the State of West Bengal exploited Gorkhas and their territory throughout in all aspects, the State of Karnataka has exploited Kodagu and Codava Tribes throughout with much vengeance. Added to it the State of Karnataka considers Coorg to be their conquered territory, Codava tribes to be their slavish subjects and has been in the process of de-populating Codava tribes and re - populate with outside vote banks, Outside Money bags and big Business tycoons, deal Makers, Fixers, Negotiators, Developers, Realtors & Underworld Dons with a solitary intention of expanding their internal – colonialism and has attempted to de-cipher (de-legitimize) Codava tribalism totally.

7. With a dream of re attaining separate Codava Tribal Existence this Organization i.e CNC took its birth some 27 years ago and we are struggling for the establishment of Union Territory for Coorg (Old nomenclature being Coorg C State) and Codava Land Autonomous region and assigning Constitutional guarantee for Codava Minority Tribe and their Land, Language, Cultural Heritage, economic and Political Freedom.

8. If Gorkhas took arms in order to regain their old stature during 1980’s under the leadership of late Subhash Gishing, we are doing the job peacefully (through Constitutional agitation) throughout. Unfortunately our peaceful mannerism is being considered as our weakness.

9. Late Shri Rajeev Gandhi Constituted Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC) in 1988 in consideration of Gorkhas political struggle from the very beginning and it existed for a period of 20 years. Thereafter the then Union Govt assured the assigning of Autonomous Status to Gorkhas under the 6th Schedule of our Constitution.

10. A Rajasthani non Gorkha Jaswanth Singh got himself elected as BJP Mp from Darjeeling in the year 2008 by assuring Gorkhas of assigning Separate Gorkhas land State. With that unrest started in Darjeeling hills and when it became too very much uncontrollable, the then Union Home Minister Mr. P Chidambaram intervened and formulated a pact Constituting the Gorkha land Territorial Council in the year 2012-13 not satisfied with such a thing yet another non Gorkha BJP leader of Bihar a Sardarji S S Ahluwalia got himself elected as Member of Parliament in 2014 from Darjeeling on the assurance trying to establish Gorkha land State.

11. After that Political unrest has started in the region once again under the leadership of GJM Mr. Bhimal Gurung motivated by S S Ahluwalia and expected moral support from the Hon’ble Union Home Minister Mr. Rajanth Singh and MOS for Home Mr. Kiron Rijiju. The reigning Union Govt is already willing to concede the demand of Gorkhas since the said gentleman belong to the ruling party.

12. Now coming back to our demand (Codava land demand) we would like to re-iterate an undeniable fact that the elected representative of our region belongs to the party helping Gorkha land struggle and the mannerism of both Gorkhas and Codavas are much same like. We only suggest that past experience should not repeat when in the recent history the demand for formation of separate Codavaland UT defeated two times earlier.

13. When Bilaspur which was a “C” type state just like Coorg and Chotanagpur were attaining Separate Statehood nomenclature as Chhattisgarh substituted to Bilaspur and Jharkhand replacing the name Chotanagpur In the year 2000 even though Codava movement was vociferous and prominent. The chances of Coorg re gaining Separate State became a thorough failure on account of the mischief caused by the ruling Govt ,

14. Similarly Telangna and Hyderabad Karnataka regions were under the rule of the Hyderabad Nizam as until the day when Kodagu (Coorg) “C” State became merged with state of Vishala Mysore now Karnataka. If Telangana become merged with State of Vishalandhra Hyderabad Karnataka region comprising of Bidar, Gulbarga & Raichur Districts became merged with State of Karnataka. The political struggle continued until such a day when Separate Statehood to Telangana was given, and Hyderabad region was given Statutory guarantee under article 371 (J) of our Constitution in 2017 after having considering the step motherly treatment both the regions have suffered under residual States. Even though the people of Andhra did object to the carving out of Telangana and ended up in passing resolution rejecting the claim in the Andhra assembly. Yet Separate Statehood was assigned to Telangana. Even though Hyderabad Karnataka region is not a Separate state the region has acquired special reservation Status in the field of education employment in the State and Union and also attained special financial package as per article 371[j] of the Constitution.[Hyderabad Karnataka people used to show their anger by burning Kannada flag on every Nov 1 Rajyotsava day.)

15. One pain full behavior of the then soulless Chief Minister of Coorg State and the notorious Chief Commissioner (Col. Daya Singh Bedi) duo have conspired with Mysore leaders then and allowed the only existed utopian happiest State then of the country Coorg became merged rather dumped with Mysore, now Karnataka. The said persons understandably sold their souls only with an under taking by the Union Govt of making the first amongst them becoming Railway Minister. Both of them have amassed extensive landed properties under the cost of compromising Codava dignity pride and self-respect, the first one in Coorg and the second one in Sakaleshpur. Unfortunately the departed evil soul [Prethaathma] of the first one has continued to trouble Codava Tribes and natives even now and presumably is causing the blockade against all our legitimate demand and struggle.

16. Therefore we are conducting a peaceful sathyagraha in the vicinity of DC’s office Coorg Madikeri on 14 July 2017 and conduct Jathas throughout Coorg from the month of September 2017 for the purpose. We have also formulated a plan to cause New Delhi chalo sathyagraha as “Invasion day” on 1 Nov 2017 and we have also plans to hold “27th Codava National Day” on 24 Nov 2017. Besides we will also celebrates 21 Annual Kakkada Padnett on 3 August 2017 and Annual 22nd public kail poud celebrations on 1st September 2017 as usual and also on 09th August CNC will observe world Indigenous People’s Day. Each and every function slated to be held as mentioned above we will re - iterate all our claims to assign UT (Union Territory) Status to Coorg & Autonomous Codava land along with Gorkhaland. We request all the native residents of Coorg to join hands with the noble cause. In order to help us seeking the making of Codavaland UT and autonomy and thereby help us in securing permanent and durable Political Solution.

Demand to carve out Union Territory of Coorg/Kodagu and assigning Codava Land Autonomy on par with the proposed Separate State of Darjeeling, Gorkha land

1. Before mentioning about the desirability of considering our pressure to include Union Territory status for Coorg in the Articles 2&3 and Codava land Autonomous region under 6th Schedule of our inimitable Constitution it would be more appropriate if we mention about the likelihood of formation of separate Gorkha Land State in the Indian Union.

2. Gorkhas a Martial Race understandably mortgaged to the defense of India on par with Codava Martial tribes. Darjeeling Gorkha land essentially is a hilly region strategically like Codava region of Coorg and like Codavas having birth right to hold “Gun” Gorkhas have unbroken right to hold “Kukri”. Like Gorkhas Codava Tribes are Patriotic people, Gorkhas have participated in the 1st & 2nd World War, Similarly Codava Tribes also participated and fought World 1st & World War 2nd Added to it both Kodagu / Coorg and Darjeeling hills are strategically significant strips and each as its own Politico - Historical and Socio - Cultural background.

3. If the treaty between British rulers, Nepal Kingdom and Gorkha Army entered during 18th century and with that the struggle for separate Gorkha land State is known to have bloomed and started then alone, The Anglo-Nepalese War (1814–16), also known as the Gorkha War, was fought between the Kingdom of Nepal (present-day Nepal) and the East India Company as a result of border disputes and ambitious expansionism of both the belligerent parties. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Sugauli in 1816, which ceded around a third of Nepal's territory to the British.

4. The British were the invading forces, while the Nepalese maintained a defensive position. The British attacked in two successive waves of invasion. It was the most expensive war waged during the governorship of Lord Moira.

5. Starting from Upanishad period until India became free Country and the year between 1952 to 1956 Coorg was a separate “C” type State of Indian Union with a proper Govt with unicameral legislature existed until then when it became subservient to the State of Mysore now Karnataka. Without any doubt Kodagu used to be a Separate Nation, Independent Nation State, Country, Kingdom, and British India Province and was a self respected “C” type State as until 1956 under the Constitution of Independent India with the Geo – Political aspiration every born Codava was intact, formidable and nurtured. Both Gorkhas and Codava Tribes socially, culturally, linguistically, politically, ethnically, martially with historical background are alike throughout.

6. If the State of West Bengal exploited Gorkhas and their territory throughout in all aspects, the State of Karnataka has exploited Kodagu and Codava Tribes throughout with much vengeance. Added to it the State of Karnataka considers Coorg to be their conquered territory, Codava tribes to be their slavish subjects and has been in the process of de-populating Codava tribes and re - populate with outside vote banks, Outside Money bags and big Business tycoons, deal Makers, Fixers, Negotiators, Developers, Realtors & Underworld Dons with a solitary intention of expanding their internal – colonialism and has attempted to de-cipher (de-legitimize) Codava tribalism totally.

7. With a dream of re attaining separate Codava Tribal Existence this Organization i.e CNC took its birth some 27 years ago and we are struggling for the establishment of Union Territory for Coorg (Old nomenclature being Coorg C State) and Codava Land Autonomous region and assigning Constitutional guarantee for Codava Minority Tribe and their Land, Language, Cultural Heritage, economic and Political Freedom.

8. If Gorkhas took arms in order to regain their old stature during 1980’s under the leadership of late Subhash Gishing, we are doing the job peacefully (through Constitutional agitation) throughout. Unfortunately our peaceful mannerism is being considered as our weakness.

9. Late Shri Rajeev Gandhi Constituted Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC) in 1988 in consideration of Gorkhas political struggle from the very beginning and it existed for a period of 20 years. Thereafter the then Union Govt assured the assigning of Autonomous Status to Gorkhas under the 6th Schedule of our Constitution.

10. A Rajasthani non Gorkha Jaswanth Singh got himself elected as BJP Mp from Darjeeling in the year 2008 by assuring Gorkhas of assigning Separate Gorkhas land State. With that unrest started in Darjeeling hills and when it became too very much uncontrollable, the then Union Home Minister Mr. P Chidambaram intervened and formulated a pact Constituting the Gorkha land Territorial Council in the year 2012-13 not satisfied with such a thing yet another non Gorkha BJP leader of Bihar a Sardarji S S Ahluwalia got himself elected as Member of Parliament in 2014 from Darjeeling on the assurance trying to establish Gorkha land State.

11. After that Political unrest has started in the region once again under the leadership of GJM Mr. Bhimal Gurung motivated by S S Ahluwalia and expected moral support from the Hon’ble Union Home Minister Mr. Rajanth Singh and MOS for Home Mr. Kiron Rijiju. The reigning Union Govt is already willing to concede the demand of Gorkhas since the said gentleman belong to the ruling party.

12. Now coming back to our demand (Codava land demand) we would like to re-iterate an undeniable fact that the elected representative of our region belongs to the party helping Gorkha land struggle and the mannerism of both Gorkhas and Codavas are much same like. We only suggest that past experience should not repeat when in the recent history the demand for formation of separate Codavaland UT defeated two times earlier.

13. When Bilaspur which was a “C” type state just like Coorg and Chotanagpur were attaining Separate Statehood nomenclature as Chhattisgarh substituted to Bilaspur and Jharkhand replacing the name Chotanagpur In the year 2000 even though Codava movement was vociferous and prominent. The chances of Coorg re gaining Separate State became a thorough failure on account of the mischief caused by the ruling Govt ,

14. Similarly Telangna and Hyderabad Karnataka regions were under the rule of the Hyderabad Nizam as until the day when Kodagu (Coorg) “C” State became merged with state of Vishala Mysore now Karnataka. If Telangana become merged with State of Vishalandhra Hyderabad Karnataka region comprising of Bidar, Gulbarga & Raichur Districts became merged with State of Karnataka. The political struggle continued until such a day when Separate Statehood to Telangana was given, and Hyderabad region was given Statutory guarantee under article 371 (J) of our Constitution in 2017 after having considering the step motherly treatment both the regions have suffered under residual States. Even though the people of Andhra did object to the carving out of Telangana and ended up in passing resolution rejecting the claim in the Andhra assembly. Yet Separate Statehood was assigned to Telangana. Even though Hyderabad Karnataka region is not a Separate state the region has acquired special reservation Status in the field of education employment in the State and Union and also attained special financial package as per article 371[j] of the Constitution.[Hyderabad Karnataka people used to show their anger by burning Kannada flag on every Nov 1 Rajyotsava day.)

15. One pain full behavior of the then soulless Chief Minister of Coorg State and the notorious Chief Commissioner (Col. Daya Singh Bedi) duo have conspired with Mysore leaders then and allowed the only existed utopian happiest State then of the country Coorg became merged rather dumped with Mysore, now Karnataka. The said persons understandably sold their souls only with an under taking by the Union Govt of making the first amongst them becoming Railway Minister. Both of them have amassed extensive landed properties under the cost of compromising Codava dignity pride and self respect, the first one in Coorg and the second one in Sakaleshpur. Unfortunately the departed evil soul [Prethaathma] of the first one has continued to trouble Codava Tribes and natives even now and presumably is causing the blockade against all our legitimate demand and struggle.

16. Therefore we are conducting a peaceful sathyagraha in the vicinity of DC’s office Coorg Madikeri on 12 July 2017 and conduct Jathas throughout Coorg from the month of September 2017 for the purpose. We have also formulated a plan to cause New Delhi chalo sathyagraha as “Invasion day” on 1 Nov 2017 and we have also plans to hold “27th Codava National Day” on 24 Nov 2017. Besides we will also celebrates 21 Annual Kakkada Padnett on 3 August 2017 and Annual 22nd public kail poud celebrations on 1st September 2017 as usual and also on 09th August CNC will observe world Indigenous People’s Day. Each and every function slated to be held as mentioned above we will re - iterate all our claims to assign UT (Union Territory) Status to Coorg & Autonomous Codava land along with Gorkhaland. We request all the native residents of Coorg to join hands with the noble cause. In order to help us seeking the making of Codavaland UT and autonomy and thereby help us in securing permanent and durable Political Solution.

A Sathyagraha by Codava Tribes Men under Aegis of Codava National Council - CNC volunteers demanding to grant the same ‘Legal rights as human being’ - ‘Living Entity having the status of Legal Person’ to life line River Cauvery

A Sathyagraha by Codava Tribes Men under Aegis of Codava National Council - CNC volunteers demanding to grant the same ‘Legal rights as human being’ - ‘Living Entity having the status of Legal Person’ to life line River Cauvery on 1st June 2017 in the vicinity of Deputy Commissioner’s Office, Kodagu, Madkeri – 571201,time 10.30 am.

It is an un deniable fact that our Holy River Cauvery is as old as Mother Earth and the Human Civilisation that flourished near around the areas where the same flows have systematically defied it, ever since human beings started living and showing social behaviour. As regards Codava Tribe River Cauvery is perhaps the only “Devatha [Angele]” they believe in. If this is the thing touching life line River Cauvery here are other 6[six] such Rivers flowing across in “Bharatha Varsha [India]” and they are Ganga, Yemuna, Narnada, Sarswathi, Godavari, Sindhu & 7 [seven] in total and they include River Cauvery have been considered to be Holy[Sacred]Rivers from Upanishad & Vedic periods. All the Holy scriptures particularly Ramayana, Mahabharatha, Bhagavadgeetha, Tamil Legendary Scripture Thirukoral & of course Codava Folkloric Literary Piece “Pattolepalame ”, Cauvery Vaibhava & Skandapurana do definitely mention about all the said Rivers including River Cauvery and they have become integral part and parcel of the Philosophy and Eminence of Hinduism propagate. Simply said River Cauvery is one of the ‘life line’Rivers in India. Mythology documents that River Cauvery has Dakshina Gange. River Cauvery took its birth at Thalacauvery [i.e. The Dakshinskashi] in the Brahmagiri mountainous terrain of Western Ghats in Coorg [The Erst while ‘C’ State of Coorg]and flows through mid part of Coorg, Mysore[i.e. Southern Karnataka] Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry and finally it mingles with bay of Bengal near Poomphar. The actual estimated length of River Cauvery is 1311 km.

Speaking about the great Sage Agasthya is both a Spiritual body and also an Civil Engineer expert in Irrigation. In spiritual imagination Agasthya created River Cauvery and in factual matter he has taken Cauvery even in to Tamil Nadu occurring on both sides of Coorg and Tamil Nadu is an amazing thing and main intention is to make available equal waters to the people.

River Cauvery or Kavery is one of the only prominent Rivers in the Southern India that flows along the States of Karnataka [Earlier say up to 1956. Record shows that it was flowing across State of Coorg after amalgamation of Erst while State of Coorg into Karnataka] and Tamil Nadu. It is often termed as the Dakshinganga which means Ganga of the South. The Holy River finds place in the Tamil Literature and Codava & Kannada writings.

Throughout the past, the Banks of the River Cauvery attracted great Writers, Poets, Philosophers and Saints who contributed greatly towards the Cultural ethos and Spiritual Wisdom of India.

Mythology records that the Heroes of Ramayana (Rama, Seetha & Laxman) and Mahabharat (Pandavas) to avoid rigour Himalayan Ice of Northern India travelled to Southern Part of India that too Cauvery basin for their ‘Vanavasa & Ajnathvasa’ (Exile) and spent their valuable time. Mythology makes available many proofs for their having camped in Coorg. Strictly speaking Cauvery minimized the thrust of people in reality.

One solitary example what we can quote now is that the Govt. of New Zealand has treated and recognised ‘Whanganui’ river to be the ‘living entity having the status of legal person’. (on 16th March 2017) Taken into consideration, 140 year old relentless negotiations & struggle of ‘Maori’ tribes of New Zealand to be the actual descendents of the ‘Whanganui’ river has been granted the same legal rights as a human being. Without any doubt indigenous minority Codava tribe have revered river Cauvery all along as their God Mother and considered as their ancestor.

In reality the decision of the New Zealand Govt. to accord such status to ‘Whanganui’ river is incidentally the first of its nature in the worlds recorded history. Indigenous Codava tribe has considered river Cauvery to be our general ancestor from the very beginning and we insist our govt. to follow suit.

Lifeline River Cauvery is a ‘’Living Legend’’ by herself [itself] and She (it) is a ‘Visual Scripture’ besides being a ‘Great Epic’ and a ‘Spiritual God Mother’. We do not find any necessity to prove its Mythological existence or importance since we are at it, and it doesn’t require any documentary movies or other factual evidences in order to prove its legitimacy from time immemorial say from the period of Upanishads. In other words, documents or documentary movies are felt needed only to prove the Physically Non-Existent and never known Rivers. River Saraswathi is not Physically existing visual living River, even though Upanishad and Vedic narratives and other documents mentioned about the same. The people who are trying to prove the existence of River Cauvery with the aid of documentary movies is simply a money making business rocket by certain deal makers, fixers & negotiator Mafias, seditious conspirators, Anti Nationals, Foreign funded NGO Mafias and it has to be checked forever.

It doesn’t require any media advertisement since more than a century there has been an Inter-State Water Distribution Dispute Litigation touching the River Cauvery and every living human being across the World knows about River Cauvery and every day one may read about the River Cauvery in news papers.

Only recently the Utharkhand High Court has declared Ganga and Yamuna Rivers and its tributaries as ‘’Living Entities’’ having the status of a ‘’Legal Person ‘’. The Govt of Utharkhand even has taken a further step by promulgating a regular law in that respect, not satisfied with such a thing the Utharkhand High Court has even promulgated a direction in general to the effect that Govt of Utharkhand would act as the ‘’Legal Parents’’ of the all Holy Rivers that flows in India. The Court also said they have been tasked to work as the human face to protect, conserve and preserve them and their tributaries. The Supreme Court has already accepted Rivers as ‘’Living Entities”.

Encouraged by such a thing the Union Minister for Home Affairs Mr. Rajnath Singh has (“Bring a Bill to give a Living Entity status to River Narmada”, Mr. Rajnath Singh said)even directed the Madhya Pradesh Govt to assign ‘’Living Entity Legal Person’’ status to Holy River Narmada, the Madhya Pradesh Assembly on 3 May 2017 passed a resolution granting ‘’Living Entity’’ status to River Narmada which will enable the Water body to have the same ‘’Legal Rights as a Person’’. In effect anyone who acts in such a way he has to misuse the waters, and harm the Rivers after having attained ‘’Living Entity’’ status becomes punishable crime/offence on par with rape, dacoit and murder included such an enactment do necessarily protect such Rivers and they continue to be help full to human society in the future also.

It is a known fact that a good majority of bad people have vulgarised the eminence of River Cauvery by throwing all dirty things there to. People even have gone to the extent of allowing the dirt from all Septic Tanks, the waste from Butcher Shops. A good number of bad people with demonic intentions have even grabbed the occasion by indulging in Sand, Mining Mafia and Timber Mafia. Years ago we used to watch small & tiny islands existing on River Cauvery and we even have noticed huge jungle groves which prevented people from seeing things from either sides there used to be jungle growth farming and its canopy covering River margin everywhere in the River Bank. Now we find structures illegally put up. We used to drink raw Cauvery water even during 1970s while we went to schools, but things have gone just opposite just now and it resembles dirty ‘’River Kengery” gutter in Bangalore just now and even has become the ‘epicentre of all diseases’. The area all around River Cauvery from its birth place Tala Cauvery/Bhagamandala via Kottamudi-Siddapur Kushalnagar & Kudige[Coorg boarder] has become the ‘Head Office of all kinds of viral diseases’. For example the people living in Napok are during the past 4[four] months have experienced the disease ‘’Jaundice’’ on account of the dirty waters in River which polluted the entire River Cauvery basin in the area. The rapacious group have raped and destroyed the very perennial springs of water resources of tributaries of River Cauvery by raising large structures of devilish resorts belonged to Hawala racketeers in collusion with ‘D’ company and ISIS radical jihadist & Black Marketers, Big Business Tycoons network.

Unless the Human generality pressurised the Govts to promulgate protective legal measures in respect of River Cauvery at once all the concerned be they are Ministers, Elected Representatives, Officialdom, Power Brokers, Regular Pimps, Realtors, Land Mafias, Human Traffickers Mining, Sand and Timber Mafias, Radical Terrorists, Fixers, Negotiators, Deal Makers, Money Lenders and such other unholy viscous circle destroy all the tributaries of River Cauvery and River Cauvery also. These unethical rascals have caused unrealistic ruination by extracting underground water resources and Karnataka Water Resources Ministry also is interested and intended to carry out such things in the name of ‘Pathalagange’ Evil project all by itself which is unwarranted. We fear that our Govt and all such ones will authorise Multinational Companies to manage the River Cauvery and its Rivulet Tributaries under a false notion (Cunning of the reason) of protecting River Cauvery.

In fact Cauvery is like our Mother and has made available all things whichever is essential for our living and we deem it necessary to protect the ‘Motherhood of River Cauvery’ and its tributaries by all such methods whatever law permits.

Therefore, we reiterate and insist the Hon’ble President of India to Promulgate an Ordinance declaring the Sacred River Cauvery [On the lines with Ganga, Yemuna, Narmada] to be a ‘’Living Entity’’ with the status of ‘’Legal Person’’ at once and the Union Govt headed by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and Union Home Minister Shri Raj Nath Singh ji should bring Central Legislation in that regard as the Govt ‘s of Utharkhand and Madhya Pradesh have done in respect of Holy Rivers of Vedic period Ganga, Yemuna and Narmada.

In the interest of our Nation in General and Codava Tribalism in particular. This Holy life line River Cauvery should flow until such a time when Sun & Moon Exists.

New Zealand river granted same legal rights as human being

After 140 years of negotiation, Māori tribe wins recognition for Whanganui river, meaning it must be treated as a living entity Prince Harry paddled down the Whanganui river during a visit to New Zealand in 2015. Photograph: Chris Jackson/Getty Images In a world-first a New Zealand river has been granted the same legal rights as a human being.

The local Māori tribe of Whanganui in the North Island has fought for the recognition of their river – the third-largest in New Zealand – as an ancestor for 140 years.

On Wednesday, hundreds of tribal representatives wept with joy when their bid to have their kin awarded legal status as a living entity was passed into law.

“The reason we have taken this approach is because we consider the river an ancestor and always have,” said Gerrard Albert, the lead negotiator for the Whanganui iwi [tribe].

“We have fought to find an approximation in law so that all others can understand that from our perspective treating the river as a living entity is the correct way to approach it, as in indivisible whole, instead of the traditional model for the last 100 years of treating it from a perspective of ownership and management.”

The new status of the river means if someone abused or harmed it the law now sees no differentiation between harming the tribe or harming the river because they are one and the same.

Chris Finlayson, the minister for the treaty of Waitangi negotiations, said the decision brought the longest-running litigation in New Zealand’s history to an end. “Te Awa Tupua will have its own legal identity with all the corresponding rights, duties and liabilities of a legal person,” said Finlayson in a statement.

“The approach of granting legal personality to a river is unique ... it responds to the view of the iwi of the Whanganui river which has long recognised Te Awa Tupua through its traditions, customs and practice.”

Two guardians will be appointed to act on behalf of the Whanganui river, one from the crown and one from the Whanganui iwi.

Albert said all Māori tribes regarded themselves as part of the universe, at one with and equal to the mountains, the rivers and the seas.

The new law now honoured and reflected their worldview, he said, and could set a precedent for other Māori tribes in New Zealand to follow in Whanganui’s footsteps.

“We can trace our genealogy to the origins of the universe,” said Albert. “And therefore rather than us being masters of the natural world, we are part of it. We want to live like that as our starting point. And that is not an anti-development, or anti-economic use of the river but to begin with the view that it is a living being, and then consider its future from that central belief.”

Financial redress of NZ$80m is included in the settlement, as well as an additional NZ$1m contribution towards establishing the legal framework for the river.

The observance of Tippu death anniversary by Maoist groups and ISIS Terror elements and it is certainly a conspiracy to expand Maoist red corridor and ISIS Ghazwa-E-Hind Green corridor-a subversive seditious philosophy in Coorg

The observance of Tippu death anniversary by Maoist groups and ISIS Terror elements and it is certainly a conspiracy to expand Maoist red corridor and ISIS Ghazwa-E-Hind Green corridor-a subversive seditious philosophy in Coorg- such evil designs should be kept under check and stringent action should be taken at once – Surveillance by Union Home Ministry and NIA & RAW should be taken an alarm – Insisted for:

The irrepressible anti social element; anti national also, A K Subbaiah during the past couple of years has done camouflaged of pro-down trodden and pro-minority garb. Some two years ago he raised a hue and cry pressing the celebration touching Tippu Jayanthi in Kodagu. Even though the people here are opposing Tippu. (We can recall that The Tyrant Tippu along with his notorious French east India company allied forces under the Military leadership of French Genaral Lolly & Psychopathic Nawab of Karnool Ranmusth Khan cunningly massacred & Butchered thousands of innocent Codava Tribes men and their Family at “Devatt paramb” in a cold blood in 13th December 1785, Codava Tribesmen cannot and can ever -never forget that tragedy ) Even though the need of defying such ones is not necessary in this District besides being unwarranted.

The much talked about the behaviour of this man took its shape at Coorg some two years ago. Where he instigated anti-social and anti-national elements particularly international Islamic radical ISIS terrorists elements under the pre-text of Tippu Jayanthi. His unbound vocabulary provoked the mob to cause murder of two innocents and also cause assaulted police personal. The timely action of the police could only avoid and prevent such other lawless activities expected to be caused by the ISIS terrorists infiltrated elements of A K Subbaiah.

Again with a solitary intention of creating total anarchy and lawlessness and anti-social seditious subversive activities in Kodagu(Coorg). In order to pave way to Maoists Naxal elements and radical jihadists groups and strengthen such anti-national forces who have lurked in various strategic parts of Coorg jungles like deadly snakes had organized a congregation in the name of Tippu Sulthans’s death anniversary on 4th May 2017 at Srirangapatna where entire mob gathered around him (AK Subbaiah) shouted seditious slogans.

Earlier , during the past 8 to 9 months this serpentine elements had organized such admittedly unethical congregations at Diddalli , Palemadu and Cheriayaparamb only in order to re-implement is Anti-national activities by supporting the promotion of Maoist Naxal red corridor and ISIS radical Islamic jihadists Ghazwa-E-Hind Khorasan Khaliphat green corridor.

As It is generally known that M/S A K Subbaiah , D S Nirvanappa, Sirimane Nagaraj, Noor Sridhar, Gowri Lankesh , P C Assanar, Amin Mohisin, K R Vidyadhar and Nakshatrika Manu Shenoy are the actual propagators of total unrest subversive philosophy being propagated by A K Subbaiah and entire group wants to take deep roots in this region by Maoist and ISIS terrorists under the guise of Tippu death anniversary and Tippu jayanthi.

The prime purpose of holding Tippu death anniversary on 4th May 2017 at Srirangapatna is intended to gain a permanent foothold once again in the Coorg District and also to use it as spring board and trump card to further radicalize Coorg.

Whenever such groups hold secret meetings the organizers propagate only anti-national seditious theory and slogans in support of Maoism and ISIS. Unfortunately hostile countries, particularly Pakistan’s intelligence service ISI, are financing these groups and helping them flourish. This Financial channel of flows such funds should be unearthed and blocked.

With a solitary idea of causing unprecedented lawlessness, hooliganism and disaster to Coorg during the next Tippu Jayanti celebration and we can recall the anarchy that Mr. Subbaiah has caused during the 2015 Tippu Jayanti and Tippu Death Anniversary on 4th May 2017 is the actual grounds for the bad omen, one may expect for the entire Coorg.

The authorities concerned should take serious note about the activities of A K Subbaiah and his above mentioned serpents. Better always implement the undertaking made by the Honourable Union Home Minister Mr Rajnath Singh on 8th May 2017 in the conference of Chief Ministers of Naxal infested States at New Delhi touching the flow of funds from foreign countries to these Naxals and other terrorist outfits should be carried out in Coorg also at once .The Honourable Home Minister must extend and implement his plans and determination to curb and eliminate such terrorist activities has declared in the said conference at once.

Codava National Council/CNC

CNC delegates headed by N U Nachappa Codava took blessings from His Holiness Sri Sri Ravishankar Guruji at his Bangalore abode on 15 May 2017.In continuation of our effort to project the oneness of “Codava Tribalism” and attaining “Living entity” with having a “Legal Person status” to lifeline Holy River Cauvery and also to re-emerge as the August group of people, CNC got an opportunity to pay respects and explain the very purpose of our struggle to His Holiness Revered Sri Sri Ravishankar Guruji. He granted an interview on 15 May 2017 in His Reverential Abode, needless to add that His Holiness received us and blessed us whole heartedly. His Holiness promised his Spiritual help and support to our legitimate struggle.

Codava National Council delegation was in the presence of His Holiness for an hour.

Our delegation besides N U Nachappa Codava & Lt Col B M Parvathi, also M/S Kaliyanda Prakash, Pullera Kalappa, Kaliyanda Meena, Pullera Swathi, Mookonda Dilip, Mookonda Suju Dilip, Chambanda Janath, Areyada Girish, Mandapanda Manoj, Nandineravanda Shreya Nachappa, Nandineravanda Shashank Codava, Nandineravanda Sanyukta Codavathi, and Kandera Suresh were present.

Incorporate 8th schedule of Indian Constitution with Codava Thakk and make it a formidable Law on the basis of the Private Member Bill moved and tabled by Mr. B.K Hariprasad MP

Incorporate 8th schedule of Indian Constitution with Codava Thakk and make it a formidable Law on the basis of the Private Member Bill moved and tabled by Mr. B.K Hariprasad MP – RS in the floor of the Parliament at once on the lines as was done in connection with 22 other languages of our Country – Initiate Constitutional Mechanism for amending the statute – request for

Drawing your kind attention to the Constitution Amendment Bill 2016 the Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 2016 (amendment of the Eighth Schedule) & The Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 2016 (insertion of new article 338B) Private member Bill moved by Mr. B.K Hariprasad. Seeking the inclusion of Codava Thakk in the 8th schedule of our Constitution moved, tabled & debated by Shri B.K Hariprasad MP.RS and duly supported by Shri Basavaraj Patel Sedum MP.RS in the floor of the Rajya Sabha (Parliament) on 07 April 2017.

It may not be an out of place act on our part if we inform you that all the members present at the time in the Parliament house in session have silently concurred with the subject. Understandably subject in hand i.e Codava Thakk is most ancient and living spoken language of Codava Tribesmen with rich folkloric heritage background.

Codava Thakk is the naturally grown mother tongue of Codava tribe and the Codava cultural heritage having bloomed within the active sphere of River Cauvery the lifeline River of South India and one of the 7 holiest Indian Rivers of Vedic period.

Codava contributions to the Nation building and protection of boundaries of our country has been incomparable. The Codava language is very essential to protect and flourish Codava Tribalism.

As such we request you to be good enough to see that the Private Member Bill (The Constitution Amendment Bill 2016) touching Codava Thakk moved and tabled by B.K Hariprasad on the floor of Parliament is passed and becomes legislation.

The thing was imagined, coined, contemplated and vehemently advocated by CNC/Codava National Council, the irrepressible voice of Codava tribe during the past 27 years which in real sense has become the life breathe of every living Codava tribe which became manifested through the inimitable Statesmen Mr. B.K Hariprasad tabling a Private Member Bill on the floor of the Parliament.

Therefore we request you to be good enough to do the things in order to gain the entry of Codava Thakk into the 8th schedule of Indian Constitution as you did in respect of 22 such other languages successfully.

We request you to be good enough to carry out the needed Constitutional Mechanism so that Codava Thakk gains permanent entry into the statute Book.

PS: Without any recrimination we take this opportunity to remind you an undeniable fact that Govt need not seek other formal evidence in order to substantiate our claim for inclusion of Codava Thakk in the 8th schedule of our Constitution. Added to it the govt need not contemplate formality and presenting any Bill touching the inclusion of Codava Thakk in the 8th Schedule since the most domineering and respectable Parliamentarian Mr. B.K Hariprasad has already tabled a Private Member Bill touching the subject and an elaborate discussion has already been done. In reality we do not have any Political Lobby who would support us achieve our demand and we firmly believe that Shri B.K Hariprasad has done it after having studied the necessity of such a thing. We cannot expect any other parliamentarian having similar sense, risk and responsibility has was proved by B.K Hariprasad.

we demand and insist the Hon’ble President of India to promulgate an Ordinance declaring the sacred River Cauvery

It is an un deniable fact that our holy River Cauvery is as old as mother earth and the human civilisation that flourished near around the areas where the same flows have systematically defied it, ever since human beings started living and showing social behaviour. As regards Codava tribe River Cauvery is perhaps the only “Devatha [angele]” they believe in. If this is the thing touching life line River Cauvery here are other 6[six] such Rivers flowing across in “Bharatha varsha [India]” and they are Ganga, Yemuna, Narnada, Sarswathi, Godavari, and Sindhu & 7 [seven] in total and they include River Cauvery have been considered to be Holy[Sacred]Rivers from Upanishad & Vedic periods. all the Holy scriptures particularly Ramayan, Mahabharath, Bhagavadgeetha, Tamil Legendary Scripture Thirukoral & of course Codava Folkloric Literary Piece “Pattolepalame ” & Cauvery Vaibhava, Skandapurana do definitely mention about all the said Rivers including River Cauvery and they have become integral part and parcel of the philosophy and eminence of Hinduism propagate. Simply said River Cauvery is one of the life line rivers in India. Mythology documents that River Cauvery has Dakshina Gange. River Cauvery took its birth at Thalacauvery[the Dakshinskashi] in the Brahmagiri mountainous terrain of Western Ghats in Coorg[the erst while ‘C’ state of Coorg]and flows through mid part of Coorg, Mysore[southern Karnataka] Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry and finally it mingles with bay of Bengal near Poomphar. The actual estimated length of River Cauvery 1311 km.

Speaking about the great Sage Agasthya is both a spiritual body and also an engineer expert in irrigation. In spiritual imagination Agasthya created River Cauvery and in factual matter he has taken Cauvery even in to Tamil Nadu occurring on both sides of Coorg and Tamil Nadu is an amazing thing and main intention is to make available equal waters to the people.

River Cauvery or Kavery is one of the only prominent Rivers in the Southern India that flows along the states of Karnataka [earlier say up to 1956. Record shows that it was flowing across State of Coorg after amalgamation of erst while State of Coorg into Karnataka] and Tamil Nadu. It is often termed as the Dakshinganga which means Ganga of the South. The Holy River finds place in the Tamil Literature and Codava and Kannada writings. Throughout the past, the Banks of the River Cauvery attracted great Writers, Poets, Philosophers and Saints who contributed greatly towards the Cultural ethos and Spiritual Wisdom of India.

Mythology records that the heroes of Ramayana (Seetha, Rama & Laxman) and Mahabharat (Pandavas) to avoid rigour Himalayan Ice of Northern India travelled to Southern Part of India that too Cauvery base for their Vanavasa (Exile) & Ajnathvasa and spent their valuable time. Mythology makes available many proves for their having camped in Coorg. Strictly speaking Cauvery minimized the thrust of people in reality.

Lifeline River Cauvery is a ‘’living Legend’’ by herself [it self] and She(it) is a visual scripture besides being a great, epic and a spiritual God Mother. We do not find any necessity to prove its Mythological existence or importance since we are at it and it doesn’t require any documentary movies or other factual evidences in order to prove its legitimacy from time immemorial say from the period of Upanishads. In other words, documents or documentary movies are felt needed only to prove the physically non-existent and never known Rivers. River Saraswathi is not Physically existing visual living River even though Upanishad and Vedic narratives and other documents mentioned about the same. The people who are trying to prove the existence of River Cauvery with the aid of documentary movies is simply a money making business by certain deal making and fixer Mafias and it has to be checked forever.

It doesn’t require any media advertisement since more than a century there has been an Inter-State water distribution dispute litigation touching the River Cauvery and every living human being across the World knows about River Cauvery and every day one may read about the River Cauvery in news papers. Only recently the Utharkhand High Court has declared Ganga and Yemuna Rivers and its tributaries as ‘’living entities’’ having the status of a ‘’legal person ‘’.The Govt of Utharkhand even has taken a further step by promulgating a regular law in that respect, not satisfied with such a thing the Utharkhand High Court has even promulgated a direction in general to the effect that govt of Utharkhand would act as the ‘’legal parent’’ of the all Holy Rivers that flow in India. The Court also said they have been tasked to work as the human face to protect, conserve and preserve them and their tributaries. The Supreme Court has already accepted Rivers as ‘’Living Entities”.

Encouraged by such a thing the Union Home Minister Mr. Rajnath Singh has (“Bring a Bill to give a living entity status to River Narmada”, Mr. Rajnath Singh said)even directed the Madhya Pradesh Govt to assign ‘’living entity legal person’’ status to Holy River Narmada, the Madhya Pradesh assembly on 3 May 2017 passed a resolution granting ‘’living entity’’ status to river Narmada which will enable the water body to have the same ‘’legal rights as a person’’. in effect anyone who acts in such a way he has to misuse the waters, and harm the Rivers after having attained ‘’living entity’’ status becomes punishable crime/offence on par with rape, dacoit and murder included such an enactment do necessarily protect such Rivers and they continue to be help full to human society in the future also.

It is a known fact that a good majority of bad people have vulgarised the eminence of River Cauvery by throwing all dirty things there to. People even have gone to the extent of allowing the dirt from all septic tanks, the waste from butcher shops .A good number of bad people with demonic intentions have even grabbed the occasion by indulging in sand & mining mafia and timber mafia years ago. We used to watch small & tiny islands existing on River Cauvery and we even have noticed huge jungle groves which prevented people from seeing things from either sides there used to be jungle growth farming and its canopy covering River margin everywhere in the River bank. Now we find structures illegally put up. We used to drink raw Cauvery water even during 1970s while we went to schools, but things have gone just opposite just now and it resembles dirty ‘’River Kengery” gutter in Bangalore just now and even has become the epicentre of all diseases. The area all around River Cauvery from its birth place Thala Cauvery/Bhagamandala via Kottamudi -Siddapur Kushalnagar& Kudige[Coorg boarder] has become the head office of all kinds of viral diseases. For example the people living in Napok are during the past 4[four] months have experienced the disease ‘’Jaundice’’ on account of the dirty waters in River which polluted the entire River Cauvery basin in the area. The rapacious group have raped and destroyed the very perennial springs of water resources of tributaries of River Cauvery by raising large structures of devilish resorts belonged to Hawala racketeers in collusion with D company and ISIS radical jihadist network.

Unless the human generality pressurised the Govts to promulgate protective legal measures in respect of River Cauvery at once all the concerned be they are Ministers, Elected Representatives, Officialdom, Power Brokers, Regular Pimps, Realtors, Land Mafias , Human Traffickers mining , sand and Timber Mafias, Radical Terrorists, Fixers, Negotiators, Deal Makers, Money Lenders and such other unholy viscous circle destroy all the tributaries of River Cauvery and river Cauvery also. These unethical rascals have caused unrealistic ruination by extracting underground water resources and Karnataka Water Resources Ministry also is interested and intended to carry out such things all by itself which is unwarranted. We fear that our Govt and all such ones will authorise multinational companies to manage the River Cauvery and rivulet tributaries under a false notion (cunning of the reason) of protecting River Cauvery.

In fact Cauvery is like our Mother and has made available all things whichever is essential for our living and we deem it necessary to protect the Motherhood of River Cauvery and its tributaries by all such methods whatever law permits.

Therefore, we reiterate and insist the Hon’ble President of India to promulgate an Ordinance declaring the sacred River Cauvery [on the lines with Ganga ,Yemuna, Narmada] to be a ‘’living entity’’ with the status of ‘’legal person’’ at once and the Union Govt headed by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and Union Home Minister Shri Raj Nath Singh ji should bring Central Legislation in that regard as the Govt ‘s of Utharkhand and Madhya Pradesh have done in respect of Holy Rivers of Vedic period Ganga, Yemuna and Narmada.

In the interest of our Nation in General and Codava Tribalism in particular. This Holy life line River Cauvery should flow until such a time when Sun and Moon exists.

The inevitable Sathyagraha by CNC to pressurize the Govt of Karnataka (GOK) to re-start & complete the Ethnographic survey operation about Codava Tribalsim

We have decided to call off what planned to be an indefinite Sathyagraha in the vicinity of the old DC’s office Madikeri having started from 01-05-2017 re-iterating our pressures for the Govt of Karnataka to re start the “Ethnographic Survey” operation about Codava Tribalism wrongfully stopped said to be by the oral instructions of the Hon’ble Chief Minister. The Survey operation was started as directed by the Union Govt in order to include minuscule Micro Minority Codava Tribe in the Schedule List under Articles 340 & 342 of Indian Constitution. Consequent upon the assurance to re start the Ethnographic survey as desired by us announced by Shri K.G Bopaiah MLA & Former Speaker Karnataka Legislative Assembly. The gentleman has also talked to the Principal Secretary of the Social Welfare Department Govt of Karnataka in our presence & hearing this day. Added to it he has assured us that he would raise the point on the floor of the assembly once again in the ensuing session. He further undertook to get the survey done after the next general elections should the incumbent Govt failed to do the same just now and the emergence of new Govt.

We re- iterate that we would call off the Sathyagraha temporarily this day in the presence of Shri K.G Bopaiah and should such a thing needs to be done before the expire of 2 months hence from this day we have decided to hold such Sathyagraha besides conduct Padayathra within the length and breadth Kodagu after such a time. We thank for Mr. K.G Bopaiah for having graced here this day.

The inevitable Sathyagraha by CNC to pressurize the Govt of Karnataka (GOK) to re-start & complete the Ethnographic survey operation about Codava Tribalsim. – Sathyagraha starts on 01-05-2017 in the vicinity of DC’s Office, Madikeri – Indefinite Sathyagraha will be continued.

Even though the Union Govt of India (GOI) has taken cognizance of the plea made by CNC and felt the necessity of including Codava tribe in the schedule list of our Constitution and directed the Govt of Karnataka (GOK) to hold and conduct an “Ethnographic Survey” about Codava tribe and in furtherance of such a direction the Social Welfare Ministry of Karnataka Govt entrusted the matter to Mysore Tribal Research Institute. No doubt true that the said institute did start work with usual fervor on 16-11-2016 and did its work to some extent until 16-12-2016.

When certain insane elements with the Anti Social help of such other Criminals and seditious conspirators with the ulterior motive got the matter stopped for nothing on the oral instructions of the Hon’ble Chief Minister. On the basis of the pressure and perseverance by CNC i.e Codava National Council our MLA Mr. K.G Bopaiah did his job true to the best of his ability by writing a request letter to the Hon’ble Chief Minister besides raising a calling attention notice in the floor of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly on 14-03-2017 for re-starting the “Ethnographic Survey” operation abruptly stopped by the Tribal Research Institute for nothing.

Even though the Hon’ble CM has addressed a reply to the letter sent by our MLA Shri K.G Bopaiah and undertaken to give effect to such a move, and Concerned Social Welfare Minister personally had undertaken in the floor of the Assembly to do the job when our elected representative moved a calling attention notice, nothing positive and formidable result has come forward this long. We do not know the actual reason behind such a deliberate negligence by negating our legitimate claim.

PS: It is a pity that the Govt and all the concerned organs of the administration are soulless machines, blind, deaf, and dumb and lack sensitiveness to consider Codava demands. Only with a solitary idea of awakening the entire organs of Govt we are sitting in a Sathyagraha and it may continue when all the concerned open their eyes, ear and mouth with expansive sensitiveness.

In reality the behavior of Govt of Karnataka is in violation of Codava Ethos and virtually it did become a reckless onslaught on the life breathe of Codava Tribe as well as their Constitutional rights and legitimate claims in its entirety.

As such we have no other go except to pressurize our demands by holding peaceful Sathyagrahas in the vicinity of the office of the Deputy commissioner (DC) Kodagu, Madikeri starting from 01-05-2017.

Request to fix the Maoist Goondas under Prevention of Terrorism Activities Act (POTA) & National Security Act (NSA)

Dear Sir,

Memorandum& Complaint

Despite our having cautioned our State Govt against the self styled fake Adivasi unrest in Diddalli Forest their home well in Advance the Govt deliberately ignored and has failed to do the things in accordance with our timely alarm. But instead our left lenient Govt in order to help the intended Maoist & ISIS intruders into Diddalli forest and instigate them creating anarchy and total lawlessness in the region to start with and elsewhere in the District has already illegally granted Rs. 1 Crore through the ITDP to the fellows involved in the entire Hooliganism, needless to add that every pie in this said Rs. 1 Crore is Public Money which the Govt had forcibly collected from Tax payer. Encouraged by the positive support of the Govt of Karnataka at the behest of so called self styled progressive thinkers / progressive cheaters the Maoist& ISI Terrorist groups have had the raffish courage to gain entry into the Govt property of Coorg Dist in Hoddur Panchayath area at “Palemadu” and even have attacked police personal at the place on 22-04-2017 believably with an idea of terrorising the residence of the region and push police force to numbness.

It is a known fact that these ISIS & Maoist Duo Terrorist groups are the advance parties to gain control over Coorg by some self - styled venomous serpents acting at the behest and on behalf of China and Pakistan’s ISI and certainly other inimically disposed countries.

Now, the intruders have named a road after Tippu sultan to Paalemdu Village of Kodagu. Yes, the same Tippu who massacred thousands of Codava Tribesmen in cold blood. Looks like if one really wants their name to be etched in people's hearts, name roads after them, all they have to do is murder a few people mercilessly. Ironically, that's what's happened with Tippu sultan.

Devatt Paramb is the witness, of what Tippu did to Codava Tribes. Making him a hero out of all the people, naming roads after him, in Kodagu is like naming a road near the India gate after a Pakistani & Global radical Terrorists Leader’s name. That wouldn't be acceptable, would it? Then how does the government expect us Codavas to accept this?

All these attempts, naming a road after is nothing but an attempt to please the ISIS presence in the district of Kodagu. This and only this can be a logical explanation to something so heartless towards the Codavas, who have died for this country serving in the armed forces. A mockery of the entire community.

A strange factor that has come to light shows one Monnappa admittedly a known notorious anti social element and land mafia has been selling govt lands to anyone interested Palemadu village. He is admittedly appointing man of the said devils. He has distributed lands to even such fellows who own lands in their native Malabar Mangalore and also in 3-4 places of Coorg.

This matter has to be probed at once and lands distributed by him at the behest and on the insistence of the 5[five] devils mentioned above.

If the notorious Appaji used to be mentioned as point man at Diddalli forest Monnappa is the point man of Pancha Pishachis [five devils] in Palemadu.

We have no other go but to spell out a few names of the so called leaders who have instigated Maoist & Radical Islamist groups start taking control over Coorg Dist and without any suspicion the names of those seditious conspirators include A.K Subbaiah the self styled Maulana who had instigated hoisting of Pakistan flag at Somwarpet Mosque in the year 1991 and who had caused “wild fire in Nagrahole National Park in 1992” and blame respectable innocent Codava Tribesmen of the region of having caused such an illegal activities, needless to recollect the things what the man has done earlier is that who had caused the throwing of pig head into a Mosque at Pollibetta and elsewhere and cattle heads into Hindu Temples earlier only in order to create dissention as between Hindus & Muslims. Later he took initiative to infest ISIS serpents (who have already lurk in Coorg) by forcibly organising the infamous the uncalled for Tippu Jayanthi in Coorg (the Tyrant ruler of Mysore & Psychopathic invader Tippu Sultan cunningly & covertly massacred and butchered thousands of innocent Codava Tribesmen along with their wives, Children, Kith & Kin this cannot be forgiven by Codavas). Just now this Subbaiah behaves like a retired “wrench”.

The people who actively support the man include M/s K.R Vidhyadhar Advocate, Nirvanappa of Somwarpet, Manu Shenoy of Virajpet & Amin Moisin of Madikeri who heads the ISI’s Political wing SDPI, who are spreading radical Islamist Terrorism and Maoism Ultra activities in the District. Unfortunately they make public speeches also and convene periodical secret meetings of fellows in seditious activities. In fact all their activities are instigating, propagating Anti National & Subversive Philosophy. The things what had happened in Chhattisgarh on Monday the 24-04-2017 against CRPF in which 25 police men have been ruthlessly killed by 300 Maoist Guerrillas and the criminal attack by these Maoists & ISIS terrorists on Police personal and injured them at “Paalemadu village” on 22-04-2017 only do necessarily connect the groups claiming illegal control over entire Coorg Dist, only mirror the Terrorist activities that may spoil Coorg / Kodagu in the future. Despite Codava National Council the irrepressible Codava voice having informed the Govt about all those Terrorist activities in Diddalli, Palemad & Cheriyaparamb the Govt has not taken any action so far.

The only question now arise is that if the Govt is also a party to the intended seditious activities being committed by the above groups and persons, we do not understand has how the residence of Malapuram of Malabar and Coastal Karnataka could transform themselves to be Adivasis in Coorg. In reality their interest is simply to transform Kodagu / Coorg into a Maoist Red Corridor and ISIS Ghazwa – E – Hind Green Corridor Khorasan Khaliphet Territory.

Therefore we drag this opportunity to request our Govt to implicate all criminals involved in the terrorist attack on Police personal on 22-04-2017 at the notorious “Paalemadu” Hamlet in Hoddur of Coorg Dist in Karnataka and implicate them under “POTA” (Prevention of Terrorism Activities Act) & “NSA” (National Security Act) and keep them in Jail. All these fellows who have been booked for crimes in reality there definitely need to be done in the interest of the well being of our District and ultimately in the National Interest. Better always to include and implicate the above named 5 (five devils) venomous serpents under POTA & NSA.

Cow should be considered as National spiritual animal CNC demands, and total ban on cow slaughter, trafficking and prohibition of beef selling at least in Coorg. A presidential ordinance sought for –

In 1835, the British officers like.... Col Fraser was sensitive to the feelings and the customs of the Codavas and put a ban on cow slaughter. In a time and an era such as 2017, our very own Indian government, or to be precise-Karnataka government has not been seen being very sensitive and understanding of the Codavas, their traditions or their land. We request and urge the government of Karnataka to make amends and bring about a change for good, and ban cow slaughter in Kodagu simply because for generations and centuries cows have been a great part of the Codava culture. Cows have been a fear part of our lives as they were to Sri Krishna, Mahaveera, Gowthama Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi and Ambedkar. We worship her, we don't overwork her and definitely never kill her. It is one of the important aspects of coming from an agriculture based community such as the Codavas.

We urge the government of Karnataka to take similar steps as taken by yogi Adithyanath, the current CM of up, soon after coming into power. The Gujarat CM, Vijay Rupani has spoken about giving life imprisonment to anyone who slaughters, or traffics cows. The CM of Chhattisgarh had spoken about giving death sentence for the same crime. Even British Commissioner, Col Fraser’s yeoman service to Codava tribes they have honored him by changing the name of Kushalnagar to Frazerpet as the hamlets earlier comprising of Bychanalli, Gummanakolli and Dandinpet Kushalnagar was named after the sweet memory of tyrant Psychopathic son Tippu's birth by his father Haider Ali -one of the biggest names under cow slaughter as well as human slaughter at Devatt Paramb. We urge the government to be sensitive to our pleas and please take similar immediate action against people who slaughter, traffic or even encourage cow slaughter.

The State of Uttar Pradesh as promulgated stringent law in order to control the killing of cows and total ban on cow slaughter and trafficking of such animals and the punishment is life imprisonment. The net result of such a law has ended up in good number of people discontinuing the consumption of meat. For Ex: Spiritual head of the Ajmer Sharif dargah on Monday called upon Muslims to give up beef eating and said triple talaq is against Sharia.

The dargah is considered to be among the holiest Muslim shrines in India.

“On the occasion of the 805th Urs (death anniversary) of Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chisty, who all through his life strived for peaceful coexistence of Hindus and Muslims, we (Muslims) should give up eating beef to honour the religious sentiments of our Hindu brethren,” said Zainul Abedin Khan, the diwan of the shrine. He also took a vow on the occasion not to eat beef. “My family and I have taken a pledge on this day that we will never have beef for the rest of our lives,” he said, in a statement.

Khan is the direct descendant in the 22nd generation of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, the Sufi saint.

His appeal comes amid the ragging controversy over cow slaughter with many Indian states coming up with stringent laws to prevent killing of cows and eating its meat. The bovine is considered sacred by many Hindus.

Khan supported the Gujarat government’s recent legislation announcing life sentence for those found guilty of killing cows. The Gujarat assembly had last week passed a bill enhancing the punishment for cow slaughter from seven years to life imprisonment.

“This (Gujarat legislation) would be a great deterrent for those involved in killing cows for meat and other products”, he said and called upon Prime Minister Narendra Modi to declare cow as national animal.

The diwan condemned the practice of triple talaq, saying the Quran and Sharia do not permit it.

“As it is inhuman, anti-Islamic and against the gender equality, it should be shunned without any further delay”, he said.

Triple talaq, as it is commonly called, is a controversial Islamic practice where a man divorces a woman by saying the word talaq, the Arabic word for divorce, three times.

Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre is advocating for a ban on the practice, though many Muslim organisations are against such move.

“Why some people in the community are reluctant to give up the practice which Quran and Prophet Mohammed never approved, is beyond the comprehension of a reasonable section of Muslim”, he said.

“Time has come to eschew the practice that victimises our sisters and daughters”, Khan added.

A five-judge constitution bench of the Supreme Court will start hearing from May 11 petitions against the Islamic divorce practice that is said to be biased against women.

The All India Shia Personal Law Board (AISPLB) on Wednesday issued a fatwa against cow slaughtering and consumption of beef.

During its executive committee meeting in Lucknow, AISPLB member Maulana Yasoob Abbas said that the fatwa has been issued after consultation with top Shia cleric from Iraq, Ayatollah Sheikh Basheer Najafi.

?We wrote to Ayatollah Sheikh Basheer Najafi, who is in Iraq and raised concern over the issue and in response to that he said not to slaughter cows or eat beef. He has granted fatwa against it,? Abbas told the reporters here.

He added that the reason behind the fatwa is that the cow slaughter often triggered communal tension in the country.

The AISPLB also joined the force demanding strict law on the practice of Triple Talaq and requested the Centre to come up with restriction to refrain people from its misuse.

?In Islam equal rights has been given to both men and women. So, giving talaq through Watsaap and phone is not acceptable. We have decide to get a severe law against this like it has been done in Sati-pratha,? said Abbas.

The board even raised concern over the Babri Masjid issue and welcomed the Supreme Court proposal to mediate between both the communities to solve the issue.

?All India Shia Personal Law Board wants this matter to be resolved through table talk as suggested by the Supreme Court. This matter cannot be solved just by raising slogans,? he said.

Hussain Najafi is one of the five Grand Ayatollahs in Iraq and is entitled to issue a fatwa for the community members.

Earlier, the Dewan of Ajmer Dargah and an influential Sunni Islamic spiritual leader said that the practice of triple talaq is un-Islamic and against the Holy Quran.

The Supreme Court is set to hear multiple pleas challenging the validity of triple talaq, 'nikah halala' and polygamy practices among Muslims community on May 11 by a Constitution bench during the summer vacation.

These are all very welcoming steps towards the protection of cows.

But the case in Kodagu is other way round we see cows being transported to other places particularly Kerala. A large number of Cows are being killed in Siddapura, Nellihudikeri, Kottamudi, Napoklu, Virajpet, Suntikoppa, Kutta, Gonikoppa and some hotels also secretly supplying dishes made of beef, not only that there is improvement in preparing condiments (Masala Powder) specially manufactured Masala for beef in Kodagu. This does not stop there only. A good number of people are acting as provocateurs for slaughtering of cows and its trafficking and support the daylight marketing of such beef. Under the guise of cow trafficking the ISIS radical groups already have taken shelter in Coorg to create their intended Ghazwa – E – Hind Khorasan Khaliphet green Corridor it is a very dangerous trend towards our sovereignty and threat to the National security, this has to be curbed.

Stringent laws has been promulgated in UP by the Chief Minister Mr. Yogi Adithyanath ji in order to slaughtering of cows should also be promulgated at least in Kodagu Dist and not only that instigators and agents who involves in selling and expanding the market trend for beef should also be brought with life sentence under an ordinance at once.

Hence we request for presidential ordinance for the protection of cows at least in Coorg, and cow should be considered as National spiritual animal at once in the interest of National Security, justice & equity.

Codava Sathyagraha held under the aegis of CNC at Bangalore on 21-3-2017

Observance of International day for the elimination of racial discrimination by Codava Tribes men hailing from different parts of Coorg in their traditional attire squat in a peaceful Sathyagraha under aegis of CNC-Codava Sathyagraha at Bangalore in the vicinity of Town Hall on 21- 3-2017 at 9.30 AM until 12.30 p.m demanding Codava land autonomy/ carving out of UT status for Coorg and continuation of the struggle for regaining the existence of Codava tribalism under the schedule list of our Constitution…… after Sathyagraha submitted a memorandum to the concerned.

The deliberate and in excusable apathy of the governmental organizations and the ones who helm the Govts to exert any effort to enliven and revitalize Codava tribe definitely has shown the traces of our tribe losing its existence and if such a thing continues for some more time such a day is not far when Codava tribe and Codava culture becomes a chapter in the ancient history and our boys will have to read about it for the purpose of facing annual examinations what used to be the major class with largest population in the, the then demographic mosaic prevail at the time of state reorganization when Coorg was separate “C” type state of India has turned out to be just minimal, 18 to 20 percent of the total population in the district. This certainly is the handy work of the Govt of Karnataka and the enmass political tribe that run the show. The main idea has been to eliminate Codava tribalism in its totality, de - populate Codava tribes and re-populate with immigrants from elsewhere, There by de - legitimize Codava aboriginal indigenous tribalism once for all. After having changed the demography of Codava folkloric cultural habitation, the Govt has been supporting to transform this region in to Maoist red - corridor and Ghazwa – E – Hind Green Corridor i.e Radical Caliphate of ISIS with that of any substituting ethos to opposition and resistance is becoming a thing of the past except the things what this organization CNC has been doing.

Besides Coorg becoming a safe heaven and hub for narcotic Mafias, Timber Mafias, Hawala racketeers, fake currency circulators, land Mafias, underworld dons, realtors, deal makers, fixers, negotiators, Pimps, Power brokers, Benami property holders, Black marketers, commission agents, builders, developers, Brothel trafficking Mafias under the patronage of political bosses in the helm of affairs. They defiled the very sanctity of this holy divine land of life line River Cauvery.

Our organization CNC during the past over 27 years has been struggling for the re - vitalization of Codava land Autonomy, continuation of the struggle for regaining the existence of Codava tribalism by incorporating in the schedule list of our Constitution coupled with carving out of UT status for Coorg and allied subjects. After having taken cognizance of our subject, long standing demand and relentless struggle the Union Govt only recently directed the State of Karnataka to conduct the “Ethnographic survey” about “Codava tribes” only in order to prove and ascertain of our claim. No doubt true that the social welfare ministry of state of Karnataka has entrusted the matter of conducting survey to Tribal Research Institute Mysore on 16 11 2016 and even while survey operation was in force. The Govt of Karnataka has orally called a stop to such a survey enumeration only in order to help Psychopathic Codava traitors, Anti National elements and vested interests with ulterior motive, who in actual fact dream of acquiring every inch of Codava home land for themselves.

One must know that the tragic massacre of “Devatt Paramb” which occurred in 1785 where thousands of innocent Codava tribes men including their women and children were cowardly, mercilessly butchered by tyrant ruler of Mysore Tippu Sultan and his French East India Company allied forces under the pretext of entering a peace treaty is still not effaced from our memories and the Govt diabolically has even suppressed the emotional aspiration of Codava Tribes to erect a monument in memory of those Codava ancestors and even has snatched our right to pay memorial tribute to our departed souls at Devatt Paramb. It shows the actual desire and evil design to discriminate and eliminate Codava Tribalism once and for all. The disasters holocaust that took place centuries ago has made its way down generations, still haunting and traumatizing the Codava Tribal Race.

Stopping of Ethnographic survey operation by the Govt of Karnataka will certainly amount to racial discrimination forcing the minuscule micro minority of Codava tribe to extermination / nay ethnic cleansing once and for all. This is not a solitary example of the attempted effort to exterminate Codava tribalism but also it is intended to snatch away our intrinsic right to hold our land, enjoy the right of our language Codava Thakk our political existence, besides Codava ethnic identity and to make the same as a thing of the past. Unless constitutional guarantee by incorporating under Article 340 & 342 in the schedule list of our Constitution has as is being demanded by us Codava racial tribal identity and ethno tribalism will soon become a thing of a past as has happened to Kurds, Yezdis, Red Indians & Kashmir Pundits and the like. We have and we will become aliens in our own homeland, if it is so it is a greatest tragedy of 21st Century, and it is a question of Humanity and it is a cause for concern.

With a solitary intention of reverberating all our efforts during the last 27 years, demanding our legitimate claim we are once again at it and we will hold a peace full Sathyagraha in the vicinity of town hall Bangalore on 21 march 2017 starting from 09.30 a.m and it terminates until 12.30 p.m to mark the observation of international day for the elimination of racial discrimination .,.

1. We demand a permanent political package to grant Codava land with Union Territory status for Coorg under articles 2 & 3 of our Constitution.

2. Autonomy to Codava land under the 6th schedule of our Constitution. On the lines of Gorkhaland & Bodoland and Ladakh Buddhist Autonomous council and hill Autonomous councils of North Eastern regions.

3. Incorporate Codava Martial tribal Race in the Schedule list of our Constitution under articles 340 and 342 of our Constitution. We demand Tribal status to Codavas by race under articles 340 – 342 of our Constitution. We take pleasure to remind the Govt about the inclusion of Jain Community as religious minority even though they are known to be the wealthiest people in India besides being Hindus in real sense. Jaats are also granted OBC status despite the fact that they are economically, politically and socially most affluent class of people spread over in 9 states of our country. The Rajasthan state has granted Tribal Status to violent Gujjars whose numbers exceeds 8crore in the country. Even though Codavas by Race historically are known to be a Martial Class in Nature and numbering a meager 1 ½ lakhs population and that no other class of people would be affected or Jeoparadise if we are granted with Tribal status. PS. Unlike Zoroastrians who are scattered everywhere in the Nation besides being the richest and prominent in the judiciary, Industrial arena and in general activities besides being most Cosmopolitan and urbane. They have a separate religion of their own called Zoroastrianism unlike Codavas who are rustic by nature confined to Kodagu /Coorg region. Hence Tribal status is fittest for them.

To quote a few examples the Jains, the conscious keepers & the soul of Hindu religion & the wealthiest community in India has been assigned with religious minority status by Second UPA Govt in the year 2013. The Parliamentary standing committee has recommended the assigning of the Minority status to Kashmiri Pandits. Both Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi used to be Kashmiri Pandits and Rajiv Gandhi one half who breathed their last as Prime Ministers and leader of the opposition respectively. A good number of Kashmiri Pandits have been elevated as Army chiefs, Diplomats, Prominent Journalists, Jurists and Film stars and such things.

One other example is that the refugee Pandits from POK (Azad Kashmir) are likely (a proposal from NDA Govt) to be made as members of Parliament and legislature and nominated 24 seats from amongst them.

Even though the list of 500 prominent communities in the Social life of America the contribution of Gujarathi Patels are listed in 300 in the social hierarchy and similarly on 24th of 30 such groups in England’s social Hierarchy. The wealthiest and strongest Patels (Pattedars) are likely to be inducted into the list of OBC by our Govt which in reality is a disgrace.

Vasundhara Raje Govt has already assigned 50% of total demands of otherwise violent mighty Gujjars agitated under its leader Col. Kirori Singh Bainsala for being treated as Tribals at Rajasthan. Lesser said about the wealthiest land holder “Kaapu” community in Andhra Pradesh also demand for OBC status.

No doubt true that the above mentioned groups have proved themselves to be inimical towards general population of the Nation but be assured that Codavas shall never follow the foot prints of those groups and nothing would be geo paradized should we be included in the Tribal list.

With a solitary intention of protecting our land and acquire all such amenities as employment, education and financial reservations and the like we are determined to advance our claim for being included in the Tribal list at once, better during the ongoing parliamentary session we insist the Union Govt to place a Bill in that regard. Unless that is done one must know that Codavas will become a group like Kurdish & yezidi communities of Middle - East and Pandits of Kashmir.

4. Codava thakk should be included in the 8th schedule of our Constitution. Codava Thakk / Codava Language is as ancient as human civilization is rich and living spoken language throughout the history fit enough to be included in the 8th schedule of our Constitution. We propose to cite MANORAMA YEAR BOOK 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 continuously documented and which mentions about the 16 popular languages of our Country which includes Codava language to strengthen our claim – Manorama year book page 680 - Other Popular Languages 1. Angika 2. Awadhi 3. Bhojpuri 4. Bundeli 5. Chhatisgarhi 6. Hariyanavi 7. Hinduatani 8. Kanauji 9. Magadhi 10. Marwari 11. Bhili 12. Gondi 13. Kodava 14. Kutchi 15. Thulu 16. Mahi.

PS:- The Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 2016 (amendment of the Eighth Schedule) & The Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 2016 (insertion of new article 338B) Private member Bill moved by Mr. B.K Hariprasad regarding the inclusion of Codava Thakk in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution. On behalf of Codava Race CNC congratulates him whole heartedly. We are happy to announce our having met Sri. B.K Hariprasad MP at his residence in New Delhi on 01-11-2016 and explained him about our movement and all our demands including the demand for the incorporation of Codava Thakk in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution congratulated him for having taken Codava Thakk for the inclusion of 8th schedule in our Constitution.

5. Protect our land tenure under article 371 of our Constitution with inner line permit on the lines of North - East States of India. Protect our Land tenure under article 371 of our Constitution: (Inner Line Permit) The provisions of article 371 of our Constitution with inner line permit should be made applicable to Kodagu region at once as has been done in relation to Manipur and other North Eastern states. With a solitary intention of protecting our land from alienation and protecting our demography and such a thing called as “inner line permit”. Important factor is that large number of underworld dons particularly Dawood Ibhrahim ( D Company), regular miscreants with harden criminality, and business Tycoons from across the Country with the active support and assistance from Hawala agencies and fake currency racketeers have been grabbing lands in the this District. With a major idea of protecting lands in the district and the interest of the natives the promulgation of such stringent law within Coorg is warranted.

6. Exclusive Codava nominated representation in the Parliament and Assembly on the lines of Anglo Indians should be given under article 331 of our Constitution.

7. Devatt Paramb massacre – a tragic human holocaust in the mankind – We Insist for National Memorial / Monument of that Memorial on the lines of Jallianwala Bagh in memory of Amritsar Massacre and this tragedy should be included in the International Holocaust remembrance list of UNO. And International Holocaust Museum should be established in memory of those Codava families (approximately 60 thousand unarmed Codavas) who were massacred by Tyrant Tippu sultan of Mysore and his rapacious soldiers, along with ruthless his French East India Company allied forces, after 32 continuous invasions tippu got defeated by Codava warriors disappointing in this insult he conspired to eliminate entire Codava martial tribal race, cunningly invited them for a grand feast in the pretext of entering a friendly treaty with Codavas at Devatt Paramb in the year 1785 13 December. This heinous inhuman tragic genocide/holocaust in the mankind happened in this place. – But their great souls are still alive in Devatt Paramb.

8. Under Indian Arms act 1959 section 3 & 4 for carry and posses fire arms by Codavas and Jamma holders should be continued and protected for ever without any hindrance.

9. Demand for the implementation of the recommendations made by Constitution review Commission of India on the insistence of Codava National Council for the creation of Coorg Development Board under article 371 of (Please note: Chapter 8 Union State relation 8.23.1 of CRC report) as has been done in relation to touching Hyderabad Karnataka Region - appropriate amendment to the Constitution is desirable at once.

10. Codava Race should be globally recognized on par with Jews, Parsis, Sindhi, Yezidi, Kurdi, Baloch and Pastun etc.

11. Micro Minority Ethno cultural Codava tribal race should be included in the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO.

12. Demand for permanent deployment of NIA (National Investigating Agency) and RA&W agencies, and this demand is recently incorporated along with the other 11 demands.

Our demand No. 12 mentioned above pertains to the expected threat from global radical Islamic Terrorism and transformation of Kodagu into Psychopathic ISIS ‘Ghazwa –E- Hind’ Green Corridor and Naxal Maoist Red corridor should be curtailed, by permanently deploying NIA and RA&W agencies in Kodagu (Coorg) should such a thing be carried out. Please be assured that the residence here will be able to breathe fearlessly and the interest of National security and oneness will be protected forever. The above mentioned 12 demands certainly do require immediate consideration.

Subject : Republic Day Sathyagraha under the aegis of Codava National Council ; Codava Volunteers symbolically registered their protest on 26-01-2017 and submitted Memorandum to the above dignitaries through The Deputy Commissioner.

The very notion of Republic in India is incomplete unless & until Codava Land UT and Codava Land Autonomy is established at once, and all the 12 demands as advanced by CNC should be provided with Constitutional guarantee and we unhesitatingly insist that we would continue our struggle. We only hope that Codava land UT and autonomy becomes a reality and facilitate Codavas to participate in all such celebrations as they should be; and we hope that the actual bed rock will be very soon and create an atmosphere to enjoy the concept of meaningful republic.

Our Geo- Political Goal & Aspirations- Codava Land. UT & incorporate Codava Martial Tribal Race in the schedule list of our constitution.

1. We demand a permanent political package to grant Codava land with Union Territory status for Coorg under articles 2 & 3 of our Constitution.

2. Autonomy to Codava land under the 6th schedule of our Constitution. On the lines of Gorkhaland & Bodoland and Ladakh Buddhist Autonomous council and hill Autonomous councils of North Eastern regions.

3. Incorporate Codava Martial tribal Race in the Schedule list of our Constitution under articles 340 and 342 of our Constitution. We demand Tribal status to Codavas by race under articles 340 – 342 of our Constitution. We take pleasure to remind the Govt about the inclusion of Jain Community as religious minority even though they are known to be the wealthiest people in India besides being Hindus in real sense. Jaats are also granted OBC status despite the fact that they are economically, politically and socially most affluent class of people spread over in 9 states of our country. The Rajasthan state has granted Tribal Status to violent Gujjars whose numbers exceeds 8crore in the country. Even though Codavas by Race historically are known to be a Martial Class in Nature and numbering a meager 1 ½ lakhs population and that no other class of people would be affected or Jeoparadise if we are granted with Tribal status. PS. Unlike Zoroastrians who are scattered everywhere in the Nation besides being the richest and prominent in the judiciary, Industrial arena and in general activities besides being most Cosmopolitan and urbane. They have a separate religion of their own called Zoroastrianism unlike Codavas who are rustic by nature confined to Kodagu /Coorg region. Hence Tribal status is fittest for them.

To quote a few examples the Jains, the conscious keepers & the soul of Hindu religion & the wealthiest community in India has been assigned with religious minority status by Second UPA Govt in the year 2013. The Parliamentary standing committee has recommended the assigning of the Minority status to Kashmiri Pandits. Both Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi used to be Kashmiri Pandits and Rajiv Gandhi one half who breathed their last as Prime Ministers and leader of the opposition respectively. A good number of Kashmiri Pandits have been elevated as Army chiefs, Diplomats, Prominent Journalists, Jurists and Film stars and such things.

One other example is that the refugee Pandits from POK (Azad Kashmir) are likely (a proposal from NDA Govt) to be made as members of Parliament and legislature and nominated 24 seats from amongst them.

Even though the list of 500 prominent communities in the Social life of America the contribution of Gujarathi Patels are listed in 300 in the social hierarchy and similarly on 24th of 30 such groups in England’s social Hierarchy. The wealthiest and strongest Patels (Pattedars) are likely to be inducted into the list of OBC by our Govt which in reality is a disgrace.

Vasundhara Raje Govt has already assigned 50% of total demands of otherwise violent mighty Gujjars agitated under its leader Col. Kirori Singh Bainsala for being treated as Tribals at Rajasthan. Lesser said about the wealthiest land holder “Kaapu” community in Andhra Pradesh also demand for OBC status.

No doubt true that the above mentioned groups have proved themselves to be inimical towards general population of the Nation but be assured that Codavas shall never follow the foot prints of those groups and nothing would be geo paradized should we be included in the Tribal list.

With a solitary intention of protecting our land and acquire all such amenities as employment, education and financial reservations and the like we are determined to advance our claim for being included in the Tribal list at once, better during the ongoing parliamentary session we insist the Union Govt to place a Bill in that regard. Unless that is done one must know that Codavas will become a group like Kurdish & yezidi communities of Middle - East and Pandits of Kashmir.

4. Codava thakk should be included in the 8th schedule of our Constitution. Codava Thakk / Codava Language is as ancient as human civilization is rich and living spoken language throughout the history fit enough to be included in the 8th schedule of our Constitution. We propose to cite MANORAMA YEAR BOOK 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 continuously documented and which mentions about the 16 popular languages of our Country which includes Codava language to strengthen our claim – Manorama year book page 680 - Other Popular Languages 1.

PS:- The Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 2016 (amendment of the Eighth Schedule) & The Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 2016 (insertion of new article 338B) Private member Bill moved by Mr. B.K Hariprasad regarding the inclusion of Codava Thakk in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution.

5. Protect our land tenure under article 371 of our Constitution with inner line permit on the lines of North - East States of India. Protect our Land tenure under article 371 of our Constitution: (Inner Line Permit) The provisions of article 371 of our Constitution with inner line permit should be made applicable to Kodagu region at once as has been done in relation to Manipur and other North Eastern states. With a solitary intention of protecting our land from alienation and protecting our demography and such a thing called as “inner line permit”. Important factor is that large number of underworld dons particularly Dawood Ibhrahim ( D Company), regular miscreants with harden criminality, and business Tycoons from across the Country with the active support and assistance from Hawala agencies and fake currency racketeers have been grabbing lands in the this District. With a major idea of protecting lands in the district and the interest of the natives the promulgation of such stringent law within Coorg is warranted.

6. Exclusive Codava nominated representation in the Parliament and Assembly on the lines of Anglo Indians should be given under article 331 of our Constitution.

7. Devatt Paramb massacre – a tragic human holocaust in the mankind – We Insist for National Memorial / Monument of that Memorial on the lines of Jallianwala Bagh in memory of Amritsar Massacre and this tragedy should be included in the International Holocaust remembrance list of UNO. And International Holocaust Museum should be established in memory of those Codava families (approximately 60 thousand unarmed Codavas) who were massacred by Tyrant Tippu sultan of Mysore and his rapacious soldiers, along with ruthless his French East India Company allied forces, after 32 continuous invasions tippu got defeated by Codava warriors disappointing in this insult he conspired to eliminate entire Codava martial tribal race, cunningly invited them for a grand feast in the pretext of entering a friendly treaty with Codavas at Devatt Paramb in the year 1785 13 December. This heinous inhuman tragic genocide/holocaust in the mankind happened in this place. – But their great souls are still alive in Devatt Paramb.

8. Under Indian Arms act 1959 section 3 & 4 for carry and posses fire arms by Codavas and Jamma holders should be continued and protected for ever without any hindrance.

9. Demand for the implementation of the recommendations made by Constitution review Commission of India on the insistence of Codava National Council for the creation of Coorg Development Board under article 371 of (Please note: Chapter 8 Union State relation 8.23.1 of CRC report) as has been done in relation to touching Hyderabad Karnataka Region - appropriate amendment to the Constitution is desirable at once.

10. Codava Race should be globally recognized on par with Jews, Parsis, Sindhi, Yezidi, Kurdi, Baloch and Pastun etc.

11. Micro Minority Ethno cultural Codava tribal race should be included in the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO.

12. Demand for permanent deployment of NIA (National Investigating Agency) and RA&W agencies, and this demand is recently incorporated along with the other 11 demands.

Our demand No. 12 mentioned above pertains to the expected threat from global radical Islamic Terrorism and transformation of Kodagu into Psychopathic ISIS ‘Ghazwa –E- Hind’ Green Corridor and Naxal Maoist Red corridor should be curtailed, by permanently deploying NIA and RA&W agencies in Kodagu (Coorg) should such a thing be carried out. Please be assured that the residence here will be able to breathe fearlessly and the interest of National security and oneness will be protected forever. The above mentioned 12 demands certainly do require immediate consideration.

1. The Constitution Amendment Bill 2016; a private member Bill to incorporate Codava Thakk in the 8th schedule of our Constitution and

2. the direction to conduct the Ethnographic survey preparatory to the inclusion of Codava tribal Race under Articles 340 & 342 of our Constitution are in reality most formidable and land mark achievements of CNC and the personages whose names are mentioned here in below who have extended their whole hearted positive response to our relentless preserve for our legitimate demands peacefully in different dimensions and facets.

Declaration of Codava Land U.T is warranted

Sub: Declare Codava Region in Coorg, Karnataka to be an Union Territory. i.e. Codava Land Union Territory under articles 2 & 3 of our Constitution since it fulfils all the required criterion and qualifications on par with the 11 points guideline prescribed in the Constitution of India with regard to the Constitution of Union Territories in India- request for.

Without any need to introduce ourselves to be the one and the only organization established with the sole purpose of getting established Autonomous Codava Land, we take this opportunity to bring to your kind notice the 11 point criterion as are prescribed in the Constitution of India for the Constitution of Union Territories . We would like to inform you that Codava Land Coorg fulfils all the required qualifications in that regard and it may not be an out of place act on our part if we may be permitted to inform you that the State of Karnataka after the merger of the then ‘ C ’ type of state of Coorg i.e., the traditional Codava home land, with the state of Karnataka in the year 1956. The successive Governments and all the concerned there with have seized the opportunity to discriminate this region and indigenous Codava race and natives and in reality we have been suffering all the anomalies inflicted by our Government. The Government of Karnataka deliberately has discriminated against Codava Region with a solitary intension of erasing the very existence of the native people, Codava race and render the entire area to disuser and spoil our soil, cultural heritage, language and aboriginal indigenes Codava identity and historic existence in totality, besides causing insecurity in all spheres. The only method to safe guard the entire region ; the then “C” State of Coorg. The Cultural heritage of the people and the financial background of the region can be caused done by declaring this region to be an Union Territory under the direct control of the Union Government. The successive Karnataka Government has considered this region to be an occupied territory in a war, treating the region a resource generating colony besides continuously having ill-treated the natives here. Added to it State of Karnataka has treated the native Codavas to be the subjects of their occupied territory and never as a citizens proper. Forget not the fact that each and every Codava regardless of status has contributed his might much beyond his capacity to rescue the boundaries of India and safeguard the interest of our mother country, needless to add that Codava’s are a martial race to every inch and not a single Codava family is not without a member in active military service. Despite Coorg being the known cradle of warriors has been and continuously being marginalised, excluded, neglected and disrespected intentionally with a solitary idea of erasing its existence totally. Despite the fact that the president of India has ratified the Karnataka Land Revenue amendment Act 2011 touching the confirmation of absolute ownership and tittle over the ancient jamma tenure lands in Codagu and even though Gazette notification has been published, the always corrupt and treacheries officialdom in Revenue department deputed by state Govt have proved themselves to be still more lethargic and dishonest and they deliberately play fraud with the natives by suppressing the law that prevails just now. The rapacious and tyrannical behavior of everyone concerned with the Government of Karnataka is continuing without any stop Therefore we would like to re-iterate a fact that now time is ripe to get eradicated all the anomalies caused by the Government of Karnataka. A declaration of Codava Land Union Territory to that effect is clearly warranted in the attending circumstances. Codava Land U.T. is more essential, humane and deserving. It may be recalled that at the time of reorganisation of states on 1 November 1956, parts of erstwhile Hyderabad Nizam province were merged with Karnataka (then state of Mysore), Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. If Bidar, Gulbarga and Raichur became parts of Hyderabad Karnataka, the parts merged with Maharashtra came to be identified as Marathawada region. The parts merged with Vishalandra. Later that entire region got identified as Telangana. But despite Codagu being a C state and the traditional homeland of the Codava race, it was merged with Karnataka.

After having failed to bring the leader of this organization under their Control together with CNC the interested Real Estate Mafias, deal makers, builders, Fixers, Negotiators, Power Brokers, Land Mafias, Contractor Mafias, Pimps and Commission Agents within amongst Codavas at the behest of State Govt under the name and style as federation/Samaja are trying to implement their Satanic designs through their agencies and groups caused for the purposes. Every born Codavas should be very careful about the existence and modalities of such patently ruinous Chameleon type groups.

It is a truth that the Government of Karnataka has been treating Codavas with recriminatary attitude and partial treatment made this organization to be a force to reckon with. Unable to tolerate any more CNC’s continued & sustained resistance the government of Karnataka has installed many traitor Codavas by focusing them as its human shield and thing has worked out to rescue the government continuously, we warn Codavas in general against those treacherous Codava and be keep being alarmed against reckless ploy of Government.

All the proposals placed by CNC touching the request for treating Devati Parambu as National Monument are being hijacked and poached. The miscreants have not left, one single comma, semicolon, full stop, Subjects and Thok Namme etc., and the body language of all the communications, all the public lectures and statements of our leader verbatim. They have not even allowed untouched the dress code of CNC and contents of all the wordings of our official letter head in order to play mischief we expect fellows to distort the very nature of the movement we are leading. They try to confuse the Government, the Press and the general public always. Therefore we cushion the general public, the media and the Governmental setup to be very careful about the unhealthy and diabolic mischievous activities of these Jackals. We are eager to remind the Codava generality that we have taken the activities of our organization towards the desired goal through unimaginable and totally adverse atmosphere and opposition of treacherous persons.

01. Union territories are ruled directly by the Union Government ( Central Government)

02. The President of India appoints an administrator or lieutenant – Governor for each U.T.

03. Union territories of India have special rights and status due to their Constitutional formation and development.

04. For safeguarding the rights of Indigenous cultures, averting political turmoil related to matters of governance.

05. All the tax money goes to center as a U.T., region will be able to attract central funds exclusively for its development 06. Union territories serve the purpose of administering regions which are small yet diverse may be because of their history or culture or geography.

07. Correct the anomaly caused by the reorganization of States which took place in 1956.

08. Sustain the economic, linguistic and cultural affinities of the region.

09. Politically, economically and educationally as they are in varying phases of development Central Government can take care of them without discrimination.

10. Administration as U.T will not drain the public exchequer.

11. Apart from improving the administrative setup move would help instill a sense of security among those from other regions of the state, who despite their decades - long stay in the region are feeling the jitters.

With a solitary idea of managing the affairs of any certain given area and also to make it known that the particular area is being governed properly and justice reaches to each and everyone, the Constitution framers have after much discussion and studying elaborately about the attending features of any particular given group of Towns and areas have formulated the idea of creating Union Territories in contrast with larger states. Before terming any particular area to be made Union Territory the Constitution framers have deeply studied about the topographical features , Geo-political aspirations of the indigenous people of that particular areas besides historical back ground and Economic criteria until that point of time. Added to it they have attempted to make an in-depth study in to the language and culture of the indigenous people of that area and such other attending features. Take instance for the cases of 7 Union Territories in India .

01. (a) Puduchery (b) Pondichery (c) Mahe (d) Yenam (e) Karaikal.

02. Dadra & Nagara Haveli.

03. Daman & Dive.

04. Andaman & Nicobar Islands. 05. Lakshadweepa. 06. Chandigarh. 07.Delhi National Capital Territory.

ECONOMIC VIABILITY FOR THE FORMATION OF CODAVA LAND U.T.

To assert our economic viability for the formation of U.T the point No.5 mentions about the economic base and fund raiser in the manner of tax to be extracted to the Union Government which in turn remits a substantial thereof to the developmental programs Union Territory if it created. The financial resources from Coffee production, Forest wealth, Royalty from Cauvery waters and promotion of Tourism shall last until Sun and Moon exists and Union Governments must remember for this real truthful fact.

The things explained below fulfils criterion for Economic viability ( budgetary provisions). 1.Our Coffee ( Coorg Coffee) is classified to be the best in world. After Petroleum Coffee is the Second largest traded commodity in the world. India is considered to be the 6th largest Coffee producer in the world, and Coorg produces an average 40% of total national production. Enough if we arrive at a conclusion that gross foreign exchange from Coffee India earns every year is around Rs. 5 thousand Crores and it is safest method to add that Codagu supplies 40% of it. 2.The flora & fauna and never hazardous perennial rivulets and water falls are exceptional only to Coorg. The lasting long forest wealth in Codagu is considered to be the best carbon supplier in the world. 3. Added to it the average annual yield of Cauvery river waters from Coorg exceeds 180 TMC feet. (The lifeline of South India River Cauvery has taken its birth in Coorg, particularly at Talacauvery). 4. What more, the role of income from tourism activities ( The panoramic natural beauty, innumerable hillocks, pleasing natural atmosphere, added to it the kindly people are worth mentioning. It would be right if Coorg is termed as Gods own paradise on earth) Codagu stands next only to that of Isthanbul in world should Codava Land of Coorg be classified as Union Territory. It is very easy to take these features to be the main budgetary base for the maintenance and management of the Union Territories sought to be created. No doubt the actual money supply is addressed to the Union Governament and it is just practical to understand the money shall be allotted from the Union Government to this region ( Coorg) should it become a separate U.T. and unconnected with the State of Karnataka.

Hence C.N.C demands for the immediate creation of Codava Land Union Territory in the interest of justice and equity.

Declaration of Codava Land U.T is warranted

Sub: Declare Codava Region in Coorg, Karnataka to be an Union Territory. i.e. Codava Land Union Territory under articles 2 & 3 of our Constitution since it fulfils all the required criterion and qualifications on par with the 11 points guideline prescribed in the Constitution of India with regard to the Constitution of Union Territories in India- request for.

Without any need to introduce ourselves to be the one and the only organization established with the sole purpose of getting established Autonomous Codava Land, we take this opportunity to bring to your kind notice the 11 point criterion as are prescribed in the Constitution of India for the Constitution of Union Territories . We would like to inform you that Codava Land Coorg fulfils all the required qualifications in that regard and it may not be an out of place act on our part if we may be permitted to inform you that the State of Karnataka after the merger of the then ‘ C ’ type of state of Coorg i.e., the traditional Codava home land, with the state of Karnataka in the year 1956. The successive Governments and all the concerned there with have seized the opportunity to discriminate this region and indigenous Codava race and natives and in reality we have been suffering all the anomalies inflicted by our Government. The Government of Karnataka deliberately has discriminated against Codava Region with a solitary intension of erasing the very existence of the native people, Codava race and render the entire area to disuser and spoil our soil, cultural heritage, language and aboriginal indigenes Codava identity and historic existence in totality, besides causing insecurity in all spheres. The only method to safe guard the entire region ; the then “C” State of Coorg. The Cultural heritage of the people and the financial background of the region can be caused done by declaring this region to be an Union Territory under the direct control of the Union Government. The successive Karnataka Government has considered this region to be an occupied territory in a war, treating the region a resource generating colony besides continuously having ill-treated the natives here. Added to it State of Karnataka has treated the native Codavas to be the subjects of their occupied territory and never as a citizens proper. Forget not the fact that each and every Codava regardless of status has contributed his might much beyond his capacity to rescue the boundaries of India and safeguard the interest of our mother country, needless to add that Codava’s are a martial race to every inch and not a single Codava family is not without a member in active military service. Despite Coorg being the known cradle of warriors has been and continuously being marginalised, excluded, neglected and disrespected intentionally with a solitary idea of erasing its existence totally. Despite the fact that the president of India has ratified the Karnataka Land Revenue amendment Act 2011 touching the confirmation of absolute ownership and tittle over the ancient jamma tenure lands in Codagu and even though Gazette notification has been published, the always corrupt and treacheries officialdom in Revenue department deputed by state Govt have proved themselves to be still more lethargic and dishonest and they deliberately play fraud with the natives by suppressing the law that prevails just now. The rapacious and tyrannical behavior of everyone concerned with the Government of Karnataka is continuing without any stop Therefore we would like to re-iterate a fact that now time is ripe to get eradicated all the anomalies caused by the Government of Karnataka. A declaration of Codava Land Union Territory to that effect is clearly warranted in the attending circumstances. Codava Land U.T. is more essential, humane and deserving. It may be recalled that at the time of reorganisation of states on 1 November 1956, parts of erstwhile Hyderabad Nizam province were merged with Karnataka (then state of Mysore), Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. If Bidar, Gulbarga and Raichur became parts of Hyderabad Karnataka, the parts merged with Maharashtra came to be identified as Marathawada region. The parts merged with Vishalandra. Later that entire region got identified as Telangana. But despite Codagu being a C state and the traditional homeland of the Codava race, it was merged with Karnataka.

After having failed to bring the leader of this organization under their Control together with CNC the interested Real Estate Mafias, deal makers, builders, Fixers, Negotiators, Power Brokers, Land Mafias, Contractor Mafias, Pimps and Commission Agents within amongst Codavas at the behest of State Govt under the name and style as federation/Samaja are trying to implement their Satanic designs through their agencies and groups caused for the purposes. Every born Codavas should be very careful about the existence and modalities of such patently ruinous Chameleon type groups.

It is a truth that the Government of Karnataka has been treating Codavas with recriminatary attitude and partial treatment made this organization to be a force to reckon with. Unable to tolerate any more CNC’s continued & sustained resistance the government of Karnataka has installed many traitor Codavas by focusing them as its human shield and thing has worked out to rescue the government continuously, we warn Codavas in general against those treacherous Codava and be keep being alarmed against reckless ploy of Government.

All the proposals placed by CNC touching the request for treating Devati Parambu as National Monument are being hijacked and poached. The miscreants have not left, one single comma, semicolon, full stop, Subjects and Thok Namme etc., and the body language of all the communications, all the public lectures and statements of our leader verbatim. They have not even allowed untouched the dress code of CNC and contents of all the wordings of our official letter head in order to play mischief we expect fellows to distort the very nature of the movement we are leading. They try to confuse the Government, the Press and the general public always. Therefore we cushion the general public, the media and the Governmental setup to be very careful about the unhealthy and diabolic mischievous activities of these Jackals. We are eager to remind the Codava generality that we have taken the activities of our organization towards the desired goal through unimaginable and totally adverse atmosphere and opposition of treacherous persons.

01. Union territories are ruled directly by the Union Government ( Central Government)

02. The President of India appoints an administrator or lieutenant – Governor for each U.T.

03. Union territories of India have special rights and status due to their Constitutional formation and development.

04. For safeguarding the rights of Indigenous cultures, averting political turmoil related to matters of governance.

05. All the tax money goes to center as a U.T., region will be able to attract central funds exclusively for its development 06. Union territories serve the purpose of administering regions which are small yet diverse may be because of their history or culture or geography.

07. Correct the anomaly caused by the reorganization of States which took place in 1956.

08. Sustain the economic, linguistic and cultural affinities of the region.

09. Politically, economically and educationally as they are in varying phases of development Central Government can take care of them without discrimination.

10. Administration as U.T will not drain the public exchequer.

11. Apart from improving the administrative setup move would help instill a sense of security among those from other regions of the state, who despite their decades - long stay in the region are feeling the jitters.

With a solitary idea of managing the affairs of any certain given area and also to make it known that the particular area is being governed properly and justice reaches to each and everyone, the Constitution framers have after much discussion and studying elaborately about the attending features of any particular given group of Towns and areas have formulated the idea of creating Union Territories in contrast with larger states. Before terming any particular area to be made Union Territory the Constitution framers have deeply studied about the topographical features , Geo-political aspirations of the indigenous people of that particular areas besides historical back ground and Economic criteria until that point of time. Added to it they have attempted to make an in-depth study in to the language and culture of the indigenous people of that area and such other attending features. Take instance for the cases of 7 Union Territories in India .

01. (a) Puduchery (b) Pondichery (c) Mahe (d) Yenam (e) Karaikal.

02. Dadra & Nagara Haveli.

03. Daman & Dive.

04. Andaman & Nicobar Islands. 05. Lakshadweepa. 06. Chandigarh. 07.Delhi National Capital Territory.

ECONOMIC VIABILITY FOR THE FORMATION OF CODAVA LAND U.T.

To assert our economic viability for the formation of U.T the point No.5 mentions about the economic base and fund raiser in the manner of tax to be extracted to the Union Government which in turn remits a substantial thereof to the developmental programs Union Territory if it created. The financial resources from Coffee production, Forest wealth, Royalty from Cauvery waters and promotion of Tourism shall last until Sun and Moon exists and Union Governments must remember for this real truthful fact.

The things explained below fulfils criterion for Economic viability ( budgetary provisions). 1.Our Coffee ( Coorg Coffee) is classified to be the best in world. After Petroleum Coffee is the Second largest traded commodity in the world. India is considered to be the 6th largest Coffee producer in the world, and Coorg produces an average 40% of total national production. Enough if we arrive at a conclusion that gross foreign exchange from Coffee India earns every year is around Rs. 5 thousand Crores and it is safest method to add that Codagu supplies 40% of it. 2.The flora & fauna and never hazardous perennial rivulets and water falls are exceptional only to Coorg. The lasting long forest wealth in Codagu is considered to be the best carbon supplier in the world. 3. Added to it the average annual yield of Cauvery river waters from Coorg exceeds 180 TMC feet. (The lifeline of South India River Cauvery has taken its birth in Coorg, particularly at Talacauvery). 4. What more, the role of income from tourism activities ( The panoramic natural beauty, innumerable hillocks, pleasing natural atmosphere, added to it the kindly people are worth mentioning. It would be right if Coorg is termed as Gods own paradise on earth) Codagu stands next only to that of Isthanbul in world should Codava Land of Coorg be classified as Union Territory. It is very easy to take these features to be the main budgetary base for the maintenance and management of the Union Territories sought to be created. No doubt the actual money supply is addressed to the Union Governament and it is just practical to understand the money shall be allotted from the Union Government to this region ( Coorg) should it become a separate U.T. and unconnected with the State of Karnataka.

Hence C.N.C demands for the immediate creation of Codava Land Union Territory in the interest of justice and equity.

The very notion of Republic in India is incomplete unless & until Codava Land UT and Codava Land Autonomy is established at once, and all the 12 demands as advanced by CNC should be provided with Constitutional guarantee and we unhesitatingly insist that

Press Release – Press Conference- For the Kind Publication

Republic Day (23rdAnnual Sathyagraha) sathyagraha by CNC Volunteers on 26-01-2017 starts from 10.30 until 12.30 noon.

The very notion of Republic in India is incomplete unless & until Codava Land UT and Codava Land Autonomy is established at once, and all the 12 demands as advanced by CNC should be provided with Constitutional guarantee and we unhesitatingly insist that we would continue our struggle. We will register our protest symbolically on 26-01-2017 at Madikeri Kodagu, in DC’s premises. We only hope that Codava land UT and autonomy becomes a reality and facilitate Codavas to participate in all such celebrations as they should be; and we hope that the actual bed rock will be very soon and create an atmosphere to enjoy the concept of meaningful republic.

1. We demand a permanent political package to grant Codava land with Union Territory status for Coorg under articles 2 & 3 of our Constitution.

2. Autonomy to Codava land under the 6th schedule of our Constitution. On the lines of Gorkhaland & Bodoland and Ladakh Buddhist Autonomous council and hill Autonomous councils of North Eastern regions.

3. Incorporate Codava Martial tribal Race in the Schedule list of our Constitution under articles 340 and 342 of our Constitution. We demand Tribal status to Codavas by race under articles 340 – 342 of our Constitution. We take pleasure to remind the Govt about the inclusion of Jain Community as religious minority even though they are known to be the wealthiest people in India besides being Hindus in real sense. Jaats are also granted OBC status despite the fact that they are economically, politically and socially most affluent class of people spread over in 9 states of our country. The Rajasthan state has granted Tribal Status to violent Gujjars whose numbers exceeds 8crore in the country. Even though Codavas by Race historically are known to be a Martial Class in Nature and numbering a meager 1 ½ lakhs population and that no other class of people would be affected or Jeoparadise if we are granted with Tribal status. PS. Unlike Zoroastrians who are scattered everywhere in the Nation besides being the richest and prominent in the judiciary, Industrial arena and in general activities besides being most Cosmopolitan and urbane. They have a separate religion of their own called Zoroastrianism unlike Codavas who are rustic by nature confined to Kodagu /Coorg region. Hence Tribal status is fittest for them.

To quote a few examples the Jains, the conscious keepers & the soul of Hindu religion & the wealthiest community in India has been assigned with religious minority status by Second UPA Govt in the year 2013. The Parliamentary standing committee has recommended the assigning of the Minority status to Kashmiri Pandits. Both Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi used to be Kashmiri Pandits and Rajiv Gandhi one half who breathed their last as Prime Ministers and leader of the opposition respectively. A good number of Kashmiri Pandits have been elevated as Army chiefs, Diplomats, Prominent Journalists, Jurists and Film stars and such things.

One other example is that the refugee Pandits from POK (Azad Kashmir) are likely (a proposal from NDA Govt) to be made as members of Parliament and legislature and nominated 24 seats from amongst them.

Even though the list of 500 prominent communities in the Social life of America the contribution of Gujarathi Patels are listed in 300 in the social hierarchy and similarly on 24th of 30 such groups in England’s social Hierarchy. The wealthiest and strongest Patels (Pattedars) are likely to be inducted into the list of OBC by our Govt which in reality is a disgrace.

4. Codava thakk should be included in the 8th schedule of our Constitution. Codava Thakk / Codava Language is as ancient as human civilization is rich and living spoken language throughout the history fit enough to be included in the 8th schedule of our Constitution. We propose to cite MANORAMA YEAR BOOK 2015 which mentions about the 16 popular languages of our Country which includes Codava language to strengthen our claim – Manorama year book page 680 - Other Popular Languages 1. Angika 2. Awadhi 3. Bhojpuri 4. Bundeli 5. Chhatisgarhi 6. Hariyanavi 7. Hinduatani 8. Kanauji 9. Magadhi 10. Marwari 11. Bhili 12. Gondi 13. Kodava 14. Kutchi 15. Thulu 16. Mahi.

PS:- The Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 2016 (amendment of the Eighth Schedule) & The Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 2016 (insertion of new article 338B) Private member Bill moved by Mr. B.K Hariprasad regarding the inclusion of Codava Thakk in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution. On behalf of Codava Race CNC congratulates him whole heartedly. We are happy to announce our having met Sri. B.K Hariprasad MP at his residence in New Delhi on 01-11-2016 and explained him about our movement and all our demands including the demand for the incorporation of Codava Thakk in the 8th Schedule of our Constitution congratulated him for having taken Codava Thakk for the inclusion of 8th schedule in our Constitution.

5. Protect our land tenure under article 371 of our Constitution with inner line permit on the lines of North - East States of India. Protect our Land tenure under article 371 of our Constitution: (Inner Line Permit) The provisions of article 371 of our Constitution with inner line permit should be made applicable to Kodagu region at once as has been done in relation to Manipur and other North Eastern states. With a solitary intention of protecting our land from alienation and protecting our demography and such a thing called as “inner line permit”. Important factor is that large number of underworld dons particularly Dawood Ibhrahim ( D Company), regular miscreants with harden criminality, and business Tycoons from across the Country with the active support and assistance from Hawala agencies and fake currency racketeers have been grabbing lands in the this District. With a major idea of protecting lands in the district and the interest of the natives the promulgation of such stringent law within Coorg is warranted.

6. Exclusive Codava nominated representation in the Parliament and Assembly on the lines of Anglo Indians should be given under article 331 of our Constitution.

7. Devatt Paramb massacre – a tragic human holocaust in the mankind – We Insist for National Memorial / Monument of that Memorial on the lines of Jallianwala Bagh in memory of Amritsar Massacre and this tragedy should be included in the International Holocaust remembrance list of UNO. And International Holocaust Museum should be established in memory of those Codava families (approximately 60 thousand unarmed Codavas) who were massacred by Tyrant Tippu sultan of Mysore and his rapacious soldiers, along with ruthless his French East India Company allied forces, after 32 continuous invasions tippu got defeated by Codava warriors disappointing in this insult he conspired to eliminate entire Codava martial tribal race, cunningly invited them for a grand feast in the pretext of entering a friendly treaty with Codavas at Devatt Paramb in the year 1785 13 December. This heinous inhuman tragic genocide/holocaust in the mankind happened in this place. – But their great souls are still alive in Devatt Paramb.

8. Under Indian Arms act 1959 section 3 & 4 for carry and posses fire arms by Codavas and Jamma holders should be continued and protected for ever without any hindrance.

9. Demand for the implementation of the recommendations made by Constitution review Commission of India on the insistence of Codava National Council for the creation of Coorg Development Board under article 371 of (Please note: Chapter 8 Union State relation 8.23.1 of CRC report) as has been done in relation to touching Hyderabad Karnataka Region - appropriate amendment to the Constitution is desirable at once.

10. Codava Race should be globally recognized on par with Jews, Parsis, Sindhi, Yezidi, Kurdi, Baloch and Pastun etc.

11. Micro Minority Ethno cultural Codava tribal race should be included in the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO.

12. Demand for permanent deployment of NIA (National Investigating Agency) and RA&W agencies, and this demand is recently incorporated along with the other 11 demands.

Our demand No. 12 mentioned above pertains to the expected threat from global radical Islamic Terrorism and transformation of Kodagu into Psychopathic ISIS Ghazwa –E- Hind Green Corridor and Naxal Maoist Red corridor should be curtailed, by permanently deploying NIA and RA&W agencies in Kodagu (Coorg) should such a thing be carried out. Please be assured that the residence here will be able to breathe fearlessly and the interest of National security and oneness will be protected forever. The above mentioned 12 demands certainly do require immediate consideration.

CNC held a Awareness programme at Kadanga V.S.S.N Hall on 18.01.2017, pressurizing the Govt to include Codava Tribal Race in the schedule list of our Constitution and we richly deserve such a treatment. One must know that the Mongol idée groups residing in the North Eastern states of India are have been included in the schedule list of our Constitution. While delivering the key note address CNC President Mr. N.U Nachappa Codava informed that all those Mongol idée groups are filthy rich holding extensive landed properties and that they are highly educated, cultured and civilized, they are clannish in heritage and they remind any of Codava trait. Mr Nachappa further also informed that all these Mongol idée groups have connections with London, all the cities such as Imphal, Dimapur, Itanagar, Izwal & Shilong are most fashionable cities.

The important personages from such tribal groups including former Loksabha speaker Late Sri. P.A Sangma, (Gharo tribe) former Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh Gegong Apang (Adhi tribe), Union MOS Home Minister Mr. Kiron Rijiju (Monpa Tribe) and former North Bangalore MP and retired Police chief Mr. Sangliana (Mizo Tribe). Mr Gegong Apang is known to own 30,000 hectares of tea plantations in Arunachal Pradesh, Codavas do not have any grouse against them. To mention 3 examples of Karnataka heavy weight Politicians M/s Sri Ramalu, Balachandra Jarki Holi and Sathish Jarki Holi, they are known to possess and own extensive properties and the properties these 3 holds and no Codava equals them in richness they too are included in the tribal list (Nayakas). Interestingly enough Senior statesmen of Jharkhand struggle and legendary Munda Tribal leader Major Jaipal Singh Munda who was also a friend of Jawahar Lal Nehru was an Oxford Graduate during the beginning of 20th Century itself, and his community is having a tribal tag. (A lot of India’s wealthy men belong to ST category, including the Mysore Maharaja, Yadhuvir Raja Vodeyars wife’s family from Rajastan. They infact happened to belong to the royal dynasty. Did this mean they gave up ST privilege?)

Less than 50 IAS & IPS officials are employed in Karnataka Govt service from Meena tribe, added to it a good majority of bureau crates elsewhere in India and as well as in Govt of India service belongs to Meena tribe of Rajasthan. Each of them are well educated, very handsome, and highly cultured besides being land holders, even they are also considered as scheduled tribes under the Constitution example, IAS Officers M/s Bharath Lal Meena & Prabhu Dayal Meena. Unless Codava tribals are included in the schedule list of our Constitution one must remember that Kodagu will become a part and parcel of Maoist Red Corridor and ISIS Ghazwa – Tur - Hind Green Corridor on account of our Marginalization. These Maoist and ISIS are trying to oust Codavas from their soil and they attempted to de-legitimize Codava existence. With such a determination to oust Codavas from their Homeland (Coorg) are trying hard to achieve their illegitimate evil desire. All Codavas should be very careful and oppose such a draconian move with strong determination. Without any hesitation and without mentioning the literary qualification and land holdings Codavas should be included in the schedule list of our Constitution and we fulfill all such criterions. Our unique language Codava Thakk, Customary practice, age old folk legal system, Birth and Death Ceremony, marriage, clannish/Khandan system besides we live in a hilly terrain besides hunting and participating wars from time immeorial are the tribal traits and we deserve such things.

Should Codavas included in the schedule list under Articles 340&342 of our Constitution the entire Coorg Dist. i.e the traditional homeland/Habitation of Codava Tribals will be considered under the 6th schedule of our Constitution and will be recognized as Codava land Autonomous region, Mr. Nachappa said.

An awareness Human Chain program regarding Codava Tribal existence and demand for statutory guarantee enshrined in the Constitution.

For the Kind Publication – Press Release 13-01-2017

An awareness Human Chain program regarding Codava Tribal existence and demand for statutory guarantee enshrined in the Constitution.

In furtherance of our desired and well deserved program of attaining and Statutory protection for our identity of Aboriginal Micro minority Codava Tribal Race and inclusion of the same in the schedule list as enshrined in the Constitution of India under Articles 340&342 and International covenants on human rights maintained by the UNO & inclusion of Codava Micro Minority Tribe in the intangible Cultural Heritage list of UNESCO, and also Maoists & ISIS elements have jointly hatched a conspiracy to transform Coorg (Codava Land) into their Red Corridor & Ghazwa-Tur-Hind Green Corridor – a dangerous dead lock. Hence protect Codava Tribal Race from Maoists and ISIS onslaught – and accord Constitutional protection for aboriginal indigenous codava tribal race.

Our organization CNC (Codava National Council) is making preparation to do awareness program of the very purpose of such things. We desire to expose and explain in detail about the paramount importance of our demand for inclusion of Codava Tribal Race in the Constitution would be heralded and also to discuss about such other tribal entities in the Nation and across the world.

A public human chain meeting of Codava tribals under the aegis of CNC is fixed to be held on 15-01-2017 in Gonikoppa at 10.30 a.m.

CNC’s awareness meeting regarding the inclusion of Codava Race in the Tribal list of our Constitution & curb the Maoist Red Corridor plan and ISIS Gazwa

CNC’s awareness meeting regarding the inclusion of Codava Race in the Tribal list of our Constitution & curb the Maoist Red Corridor plan and ISIS Gazwa – Tur- Hind corridor conspiracy - Meeting held at Kirgoor Oor Mandh on 02-01-2017.

CNC President Mr. Nachappa spoke about the current pressing issues in Coorg including the new threat of naxalism and global radical terrorism, ie. proposed Ghazwa-Tur-Hind corridor, issue of influx of illegal immigrants from Assam and Bangladesh he also highlighted the important issues of Codavaland faces and the need for the government to grant protection for codava tribals by including in the scheduled list of our constitution, autonomy as per the VI schedule of the Constitution and the inclusion of Codava thak in the VIII schedule. Mr. Bachinadanda Giri presided over the programme. Mr. Nachappa further said that these anti National Elements taking undue advantage of the Diddalli Issue and without ever trying to do any harm to big outside estate owners including Dawood Ibhrahim and others with a solitary intention of extending their red corridor and Gazwa – Tur – Hind Green Corridor activities are intend to oust indigenous Codavas, and Codava Ex-Army people and such other locals. One example that we may quote is the institution of Criminal case against Ex-army personals in Ammathi by the District Administration under the influence of these ISIS and Maoist elements and try to enter such properties with such an intention are influencing Governmental agencies to get the Codava lands owned by Ex service men (particularly Pattada Karumbaiah and Dilip Kariappa bearing Sy.No 151 in Kuliyadi village Ammathi Panchayat). Certain Anti National elements are trying to influence governmental authorities and fraudulent officers in order to facilitate these Anti National elements to grab such properties. Not surprisingly these people not attempted to get the lands owned and encroached by the 300 and odd big outside company so far. This has to be called a stop to at once.

Maoists & ISIS elements have jointly hatched a conspiracy to transform Coorg (Codava Land) into their Red Corridor & Ghazwa-Tur-Hind Green Corridor – a dangerous dead lock.

Protect Codava Tribal Race from Maoists and ISIS onslaught – and accord Constitutional protection for aboriginal indigenous codava tribal race.

Maoists & ISIS elements have jointly hatched a conspiracy to transform Coorg (Codava Land) into their Red Corridor & Ghazwa-Tur-Hind Green Corridor – a dangerous dead lock.

Communication for immediate attention in the interest of national security and sovereignty and suitable action is demanded at once.

MEMORANDUM

We are staging a Sathygraha on 05-01-2017 to demand the Govt to curb the Naxalite and ISIS presence in Coorg, to safe guard the interests of indigenous Codava tribes; hence it is warranted to protect and include Codava tribals in the schedule list of our constitution.

Protect Codava Tribal Race from Maoists and ISIS onslaught – and accord Constitutional protection for aboriginal indigenous codava tribal race.

Reference : Agitation by the Imposter Adhivasis at Diddalli protected forest (Buffer zone) of Coorg in Karnataka. The entire fake tribal protest was orchestrated by ISIS & Maoists elements.

Chief architects of agitation are Maoists and International radical terrorists- actual facts- regarding. Convert Coorg into Red Corridor and ‘Ghazwa-tur-hind’ (Ghazwa-E-Hind) Green Corridor-Investigation by NIA and (R&AW or RAW) Agencies demanded.

Precisely, this representation is in respect of the intended conversion of Coorg (Kodagu) into a Red Corridor & Ghazwa-Tur-Hind Corridor by the Maoists and such other international radical terrorist agents called ISIS. The people who identify themselves to be Adhivasi tribals of Kodagu in actual fact are not locals. They are by available information, they are outsiders. Particularly Assam, Orrisa, Waynad, Chattisghar, HD Kote, Kundapur, Beltangadi, Raichur, Coimbatore, Bangalore, Telengana, etc.

Few of them working in Tata (The erst while Consolidated Coffee Ltd), BBTC, (Bombay Burma Trading Corporation) owned by Nusli wadia the grandson of founding father of Pakistan Mohammed Ali Jinha, Burma indentured policy settlers estates and other outside business tycoons spread in Kodagu.

A new trend prevailing in Tata Coffee Estate and BBTC is that whenever someone retires or leaves the job, owner refuses to employ the children of such persons but instead they go for cheap laborers from Assam, Bangladesh, Orrisa and such other places. None of the Erstwhile laborers are ones who are employed there cannot claim themselves to be the legitimate residents of Kodagu or Forestry in Kodagu at any given time. One must know that the ancient tribals of the place are Codavas only. The Maoisits and ISIS are trying to exploit the situation and marginalized indegionous Codava tribals and try to suppress the entire community once and for all. None of the fellows who used to be working under Tatas and such other more than 300 companies as are mentioned above are against Tatas, BBTCs, and such other outside company estates around Coorg.

The chief perpertrators who have designed the idea are undoubtedly M/S Gawri Lankesh (GhoriLampate) fifth columnist A.K. Subbaih @ Mapla Subbaih, 2Siri Mane Nagraj, Noorshridhar, Nalini and film star Chetan a protégé of underworld don Agni Shridhar except monster and lunatic A.K Subbaih none other mentioned above are locals and they are definetly from other places (like Bangalore, Chikkmagalore, Shimoga, Raichur and Beltangadi). They are brought and imported working class people from Kundapur, Woyanad, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and such other places and dumped them in the Diddalli Protected Buffer Zone forest a few days ago. In fact, Diddalli area is a dense forest coming under Buffer Zone of Nagrahole National Park. To leave alone such people, not a single human being has ever resided in Diddalli Forest until a fortnight back. The media exposition that such people are living at Diddalli forest during the past 1000s of years is without doubt a false and anomalous trend.

The information what we now received suggests that about 577 families from outside have been dumped by these Maoists gangs in Diddali forest, each and every one of the gang are definetly outsiders and Naxlite & ISIS Agents.

A few innocent people are being projected as group leaders/human shield, except perhaps 30 families of the total 577 each and every one of them have own properties and residential house buildings.

In Diddalli Racket, Naxalites & ISIS duo have kept one Appaji in forefront who is known for his notoriety i.e poaching, timber smuggling, sand smuggling etc. he has property to the extent of 10-15 acres of Coffee estates and owns 4-5 four wheelers. He black mails poor gullible people and keeps their Ration cards, ID’s with him and avails all facilities for poor people envisaged by the Govt through those ration Cards. Appaji is hand in glow with forest officials and by possessing Govt Lands RTC’s he sells forest land to different people. Hence CNC urges CBI investigation regarding these land racket.

One of the leaders of the supposed agitation is Maoist activists Sirimane Nagaraj who has been propagating about the Diddalli incident and with a solitary intention of earning fast bucks. He has requested general public to contribute liberally to the movement added to it is a known fact, that said terrorist agents get money and such other support from China and such other hostile countries particularly from Pakistan. Added to it, hand bills of Naxlite theme and other connected anti-national literatures are being circulated here. Their proposal is to extend their area of operation from “Sayadri” mountains of western ghat range crossing Coorg touching Woyand and Silent Valley and Mudumalai of Tamil Nadu, and they definetly do not complain against Tatas and such other business tycoons and MNCs and NRI houses in any manner.

Their main idea & target is to oust CodavaTribals from our homeland. Unless Codava Tribals are removed and routed out once for all from Coorg, they cannot imagine implanting themselves as tribes/Naxals/ISIS in Coorg.

Not surprisingly none of the 300 odd big outsider business houses/companies owned by big business tycoons NRIs and Hawala rocketeers and underworld dons who possess 60% properties here are addressed any threat by these Naxalite groups, but they threatened only Codava tribes here. They had addressed threat letters only to Codavas in the year 2008. Such drama has been played by “Kuki infiltrators” from Burma in Arunachal Pradesh against aboriginal indigenous tribes of Arunacha Pradesh in 1991 when Mr. P.V. Narasimha Rao was helming the nation and Mr. Gegeong- Apang was in the helm of affairs of Arunachal Pradesh but they failed. One other such attempt is being carried out by “The Rohingya” infiltrators from Myanmar in North-Eastern states of india against the historically known ethnic tribes of that land, the way Diddalli transaction is being attempted to.

Therefore, we request you to investigate into the whole episode at once and unearth the prime purpose behind Diddalli incident and the actual cancerous group including the above mentioned 6 perpetrators and their criminal anti-national activities and subversive theories.

We also request you to unearth the actual brain behind the entire transaction, source of monetary flow, foreign terror links and the things linked with the demonetization and the actual loss these fellows have suffered.

Therefore, we hopefully request you to be good enough to direct the NIA (National Investigating Agency) and Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW or RAW) agencies and prosecute all the people involved in the shady drama and anti-national activities being carried out by the entire group. It would be better if they are rounded up and their properties seized and implicate them under National Security Act & POTA for their alleged involvement of treason and sedition. Better the yard stick used to eliminate Naxalite pests in West Bengal in 1970’s by the then Chief Minister Siddarth Shankar Ray is used for this purpose also to eliminate the Mao infiltrators and Ghazwa-Tur-Hind ISIS terroists.

Maoists and ISIS are trying to convert Coorg as their safe heaven under the guise of red Corridor and Ghazwa-Tur-Hind corridor. But the main hurdle for their evil design are the aboriginal indigenous Codava tribes. That’s why they are trying to erase the very identities and identity markers of Codava tribes and they are trying to take away the Constitutional rights of Codava tribes. Their Modus operandi is to defeat the existence and continuation of the CNC, the only irrepressible voice of Codava World. These Anti National subversive elements have been following the Codava Tribes and their struggle like shadows and night mares for 30 years.

Ex.1: 2 Decades ago the same elements objected and disrupted the proposed concept of “World Codovology Study centre” contemplated by CNC at Codava Kundh.

Ex.2: They even objected to the prominence given to the “Devattparamb Memorial monument” within the area of meager 30 cents, where thousands of innocent Codava Tribesmen butchered and massacred by Tyrant Tippu Sultan and French East India Company allied forces in the year 1785. Only in order to make the entire Kodagu region (Coorg) their area of operation. Unless they succeeded in getting de-legitimising aboriginal indigenous Codava tribe in its entirety, in Coorg, they cannot (the Naxalites & ISIS) dream of implanting themselves in Kodagu in any manner.

In 1785, the tyrant ruler of Mysore, Tippu Sultan, cunningly and cowardly massacred thousands of Codava Warrior tribesmen at Devatt Paramb where in which we erected the memorial monument to offer tribute to the departed souls. But the above said treacherous elements destroyed the memorial monument.

Ex.3: We are demanding for the inclusion of Codava Tribal Race in the schedule list of our Constitution. The Govt has taken cognizance to our legitimate claim and on 16-11-2016 had started an exclusive Ethnographic survey of the Codava tribals, but which has been stopped by the Maoists and ISIS elements. Their main intention is to de-legitimize Codava tribal existence (It is a known fact that the said elements are behind the stoppage of “Ethnographic survey of micro minority Codava race”).

We may be permitted to recall that The intelligence Agencies having unearth the facts about Naxalites having reached Kodagu from all different parts of our country (Orissa, Chattisgarh, Wayanad, Buxar, West Bengal, Tripura and Tamil Nadu) only on that basis 144 section of CRPC has been imposed and also implanted CCTV camera footages.

What may be considered as the main instigation for outsiders to rush into Diddalli region was the un-intentional mistake of the government of Karnataka committed a few weeks back when it announced through its revenue minister Mr. Kagadu Timmappa about its readiness to rehabilitate landless people in Diddalli Protected forest. In fact, such a thing was done by Naxal & ISIS mafia active in Bangalore. The moment the announcement was made they have informed Naxalite backed tribal people and radical ISIS elements elsewhere in India to rush to Diddalli region to seek land grants. Such an instigation made regular goondas to come to the place they include schedule caste members and religious minorities from different parts of our country infested like serpents in the grass. None of the fellows who claimed land grant under the guise of tribal protection have ever seen Diddali a month back.

The immediate result is the tranquility and peace spoiled in the district due to Tippu Jayanthi issue had come to normalcy very recently, is but the ever cramming for the fresh issue to spoil the peace and tranquility in Coorg. “Diddalli” issue prompted these Naxals and ISIS serpents they are vehement in doing their intentional criminal act of de-stabilization in the district. Added to it the demonetization of 500/1000 rupees currency by The Modi government has caused these Naxalite groups who are known to have amassed huge wealth by illegal methods to lose the entire bulk of money they have collected through extortion with an intention to divert the attention of the government and also to avoid the raiding of respective places where such illegal wealth could be understood to be stored. In order to recompense their illegally gained money they are trying to gather new avenues for monetary supply. To quote a single example, Sirimane Nagaraj the known brain and main actor of the entire conspiracy is canvasing for remittance of money through whatsapp and his bank account is with A/c No of Samanathegaagi Janandholana – 64194594095, SBM, Kamblikoppa Branch, Sagar Branch Code – 41164, IFSC Code – SMBY0041164 Sagar in Shimoga.

Better always their bank account be blocked and amounts in deposits be confiscated besides arresting the man.

If the said is the strategic supporter for the issue in question, Gowri Lankesh, A.K. Subbaih duo to try their best to influence the media persons and misguide bureaucracy and political circle in Bangalore. Added to it the chief financial infrastructure and logistic support and such other immediate support being provided by ISIS de-facto groups such as SDPI, KFD and PFI parties. One can pursue the guilt if one watches innumerable expensive vehicles were moving in the region all owned by these SDPI, KFD and PFI parties. The main intention of the SDPI, KFD and PFI parties to support these Naxal elements to create their Green Corridor in Coorg – i.e., Ghazwa-Thur-Hind in fact, protected forests should be kept free from the entry of anyone and the forest department should keep permanent vigil in the area. Strangely enough the people who claim to have gained entry to the protected forest have been supported by forest officials by demanding and accepting money and this should be investigated into at once.

Maybe the fellows are using the region to manufacture illegal arms, petrol bombs in the region and terrorizing messages are being sent. The CCTV cameras installed in the region recently should be continued throughout the clock and continuation of the imposition of prohibitory order under section 144 of CRPC in the region should be continued. The anti-naxal squad camping in the region should be continued in the region.

We are requesting you to be good enough to direct all the concerned to install CCTV cameras throughout the border areas and check posts in the districts and cause inspection of all the vehicles moving there through should be caused through thorough checking in order to save human lives. Unless that is done the region will become another Chattisgarh under the hands of Naxalites where people, politicians are being killed by serial bombings. Coorg being a hilly region it is easier for them to hide themselves and do and cause done all illegal activities including manufacture of bombing and such other nefarious activities.

Already such enigmatic criminal activities such as petrol bombing, robbery, docaity, rape, kidnapping and cold-blooded murder are being carried out in the district. None of the pressures demand such things connected to Diddalli region as indigenous character as such no political package including land grants and other monetary support to anyone in the region but safer side the entire circumstance surgical operation in order to eliminate such illegal anti nation elements in the region as did SS Ray in west Bengal in the larger interest.

Kodagu (Coorg) will become yet another Turkey, Zurich, Berlin, Paris and Jordan where thousands of innocent people lost their lives in bombing by ISIS recently. Their cruel inhuman act is seen everywhere across the world in general and European countries in particular. The Hon’ble Former Union Foreign Minister Mr. Vidyacharan Shukla and many other innocent people died in serial bombings by Maoists in Chattisgarh. We demand for the very same stringent action as did by Mr. Siddarth Shankar Ray to eliminate Naxalites in west Bengal is requested here in order to eliminate such illegal Anti National Elements in this region, in the ultimate interest of our Nation’s Security and sovereignty.

We are staging a Sathygraha on 05-01-2017 to demand the Govt to curb the Naxalite and ISIS presence in Coorg, to safe guard the interests of indigenous Codava tribes, hence it is warranted to include Codava tribals in the schedule list of our constitution.

P.S – 1 : The recently held ‘Buntamale’ conspiracy. The crest performance of Naxalite & ISIS groups intending to go deep into the life of Codava’s in particular & Codagu in General and destroy the peace & harmony, they have organized a meeting at ‘Buntamale’ ( the naxalite & ISIS groups have congregated from elsewhere in the nation on that occasion) wherein some concocted award has been given to the negative hero & monster A.K Subbaiah under the guise of Kuvempu National Award. This necessarily should be probed.

P.S – 2 : Our MLA Sri. K.G Bopaiah and MP Prathap Simha duo confirmed the ISIS and Naxal presence in Coorg. Even the Codagu District incharge Minister Mr. M.R Seetharam has spelled out the fear of Naxalites & radical ISIS presence in Codagu in the name of Diddalli. It should be seriously considered and all the necessary steps should be taken in order to curb and eliminate the naxalites & ISIS activities and the supposed actor A.K Subbaiah should also be punished.
