The Kannada version of journalist P.T. Bopanna’s ‘Discover Coorg’, the bestselling handbook on Kodagu, has been launched. The book titled ‘KODAGU: MUNGARU MALEYA VISMAYADA NADU’, has been translated into Kannada by Mr T.S. Gopal, Principal of Srimangala Junior College in Kodagu district.
On the new book, the author, Bopanna, who is also the editor of the portal, www.coorgtourisminfo.com, said: “In view of the phenomenal success of the English version of my book ‘Discover Coorg’, I decided to bring out the Kannada version. The decision to bring out the Kannda edition was reinforced by the fact that hardly any book on Kodagu in Kannda was available in the book shops. While the English version was basically aimed at the tourists from outside the state, the Kannda edition is meant to open a window to Kodagu for the rest of Karnataka. I hope I will succeed in my mission.”
Mr Gopal who has translated the book into Kannada, had earlier undertaken the work of bringing out a Kodava-Kannada dictionary. (more)

Good effort to open doors to people of karnataka state,to know and understand about kodag,hope the kannada speaking people who read the book look kodag as a identity,and respect it,and not take advantage of the place.It will be nice they come and go as tourists to kodag,and does not spoil the envornment by throwing plastics and wast products in kodag.
That was good move, hope the book is worth reading...
We need to come out with mote books on Coorg, Specially our Heros, The rich life style, Food...
