Wow.Lovely eye opening message.. hope it reaches the concerned....
CNC is great
We need to support CNC... who ever speaks against them dont have to balls to fight for their rights....hope our demand for kodava land be a success.
Fightening for rights is different from fightening for a seperate state. CNC should rope in the Thackreys to support their cause as they seem to believe in the same ideology.
I dont understand wt r they asking for... does any kodava wants to stay in Coorg... Frankly speaking???
My comment is on the "Frankly speaking???
These are the people who live in bangalore shit holes who never will live up to the kodava pride, or dont have anything in coorg to be proud of
Mr Frankly speaking.... are u out of ur mind? im sure u r not a kodava and who is sucking someones balls sitting in blore and hve no concern for coorg....
A different topic, but this is the only forum I think through which I can discuss this issues affecting Codava’s. “Inter caste marriages”. This subject used to haunt me from time to time when I used to hear about these marriages, but with my recent fancy with facebook this issue has started shaking my fundamentals. Too many ‘Nairs’, ‘Mehras’ attached to Bolamma’s and Accamma names. I thought we are unique and take pride to preserve this uniqueness. Whom do you think can be blamed for this trend parents, working outside home, living alone, friends or the whole community? Difficult to point one but…parents come to my mind as mainly responsible. I think it is their responsibility to guide their children.
The second issue is, ‘are inter caste marriages good for the community’? in my opinion the answer is ‘No’, I know this position would draw a lot of criticism, but look at it from a practical point of view. What will happen if we allow inter caste marriages to continue? Every non-codava has his or her own religion and caste which they respect and in most cases they would like to impose it. Result our gods and festivals being forgotten or made to forget ! Codavas are ancestral worshippers, do you believe that non-kodavas would follow this unique culture …I think the answer is no. For Codavas coffee and paddy are more than a profession, it’s a way of life, but for a non-codava it means nothing.
These are my thoughts in a rush…what you say my fellow codavas
