Mysuru: A book on Kodavas ‘Who are we Kodavas?’ (English) and ‘Navyaaru Kodavaru?’ (Kannada), written by Maletira B. Thimmaiah, Attorney-at-Law, Federal Court of America, was released in city last evening at Rotary Hall on JLB Road. The event was organised by D.M. Trust.
The book was released by K.B. Ganapathy, Editor-in-Chief of Star of Mysore and Mysooru Mithra. In his address, Ganapathy, who has written the Foreword to the book, said that it is not an easy task to write a book on Kodavas. “Though many people have written books on Kodava culture, folklore, social life, traditions and language, none has been able to trace the origins of Kodavas,” he said.
