Historical Background of Karnataka Rajyotsava
Before Indian independence, the Kannada-speaking areas were divided among the princely states of Mysore, Hyderabad, Bombay, and Madras Presidencies. Following independence, there was a strong demand to restructure states along linguistic lines to honour cultural identities, and this movement gained traction during the 1950s.
The States Reorganisation Act of 1956 finally united Kannada-speaking regions from these territories into a single state, initially called Mysore State. In 1973, the state was officially renamed Karnataka, a name derived from ‘Karunadu’—meaning ‘high plateau’—to fully represent all Kannada-speaking regions across North and South Karnataka.
The Significance of Karnataka Rajyotsava
Karnataka Rajyotsava is more than a day of celebration; it represents the pride and unity of Kannadigas, celebrating their language, heritage, and unique cultural identity. The day also highlights harmonious living among people from diverse regions within the state. Karnataka Rajyotsava Awards are presented to individuals who have made remarkable contributions to society in various fields, as a tribute to the state’s legacy.
