Then this is kept on a palamboo or mat on a stool or mukkali in front of Nellaki (prayer place).

And a lamp is lit is front or it.

In some places it's kept for 1 day & some for 3 days. In some places the pumpkin curry, jaggery, extra fruits are also kept.

3rd September, Revisit and rethinking a must on our Festivial Kailpold?

2021-09-02T15:49:00.013+05:30

The people of Kodagu who speak the Kodava language or the Kodagu language are celebrating the festival of Kailpold on 3rd September which includes all 18 communities, also known as Moolanivasis of Kodagu. However the whole of Kodagu except Naalnaad celebrates the festival on 3rd September every year.

Meaning of Kailpold?
Kail means weapon or armory and Pold means festival. The day signifies the completion of "nati" - meaning the transplantation of the rice (paddy) crop.

Significance of the Festival
The festival signifies the day when men prepare to guard their paddy crop from wild boars and other wild animals. Since the rainy season all were engaged in the paddy fields, the weapons are normally kept in Kanni Kombare" or the prayer room in general. On the day of Kailpodhu, the weapons are taken out of the Pooja room, cleaned and decorated with flowers. They are all kept in the "Nellakki Nadubade", the central hall of the house or "Ballya mane ". The Bulls which was used to plough the fields are given a bath and then decorated along with the agricultural equipment's (one can see this part missing in the recent celebration as technology advancements). Traditional food Kadambuttu & pork is prepared and drinking follows.

Thok Poo (Gloriosa superb or flame lily is a flowering plant , rows in several habitats like jungles)

Afternoon or Evening, the eldest member of the family hands the gun to the senior member of the family, signifying the commencement of the festivities and signalling the use of Gun. The whole family assembles in the "Mand" (open ground) along with all the other families of the village where physical contests and sports are conducted. Shooting skills are tested by firing at a coconut tied onto the branch of a tall tree called Coconut shooting. Traditional rural sports like grabbing coconut (thenge potho), throwing stone at a coconut from a distance (thenge Kanipo) etc., are now conducted in community groups & villages.

Re Thinking Process Required!
1. Is the festival for the people living in Kodagu Only?
2. How many students and employees come to Kodagu for the festivals, They don't have time or is the Festival not celebrated in a way it should? or they are least Bothered?

3. Apart from food & beverages there is our culture and Grandeur, remember?
4. If other Poojas and rituals can be done, Why not Kaipodhu celebrated where you live, be it Mysuru, Bengaluru or abroad?
5. Where are the Moustaches or where are the Sarees and Kupyas gone?
6. Always blame the elders? Why so,Our generation needs to put some effort to learn the festivals and pass it on to next generation.

** Think Over **

Look at Kodagu as a place You can relate to yourself and make sure we pu in our efforts to contribute for he betterment of the Place- KODAGU.

Wild Mushroom - Collared Earthstar found in Kodagu

2020-07-30T17:35:00.001+05:30

I'm writing this article as I was keen in finding more information of this wild mushroom whole I was on a plantation walk with my kids. To my surprise it looked great and also started sending dimes when kicked on it. So I did capture a few pictures of the Mushroom and posted in facebook. One of my friend sent the below link

Article courtesy :- https://www.first-nature.com/fungi/geastrum-triplex.php

This is the picture I took in my Arecanut estate.

Collared Earthstars are most often found under hardwood trees, but we have also found them in coniferous woodland, particularly with firs and spruces.

If you cut through a young fruitbody the interior is white, but it gradually turns into a dark brown powdery mass as the spores mature.

Spores are emitted from the apical hole as breezes blow across it, and much larger puffs of spores escape when raindrops hit and compress the spore-sac.

Diabetes prevention and care

2015-12-08T17:33:00.000+05:30

Diabetes prevention and care

November 30, 2015 by Ashwini Jnanesha

The estimate of people with diabetes mellitus (DM) in the year 2014 was 387 million worldwide, with type 2 DM making up about 90% of the cases. This has in turn accounted for the increase in number of deaths, as diabetes is a risk factor for diseases like cardiovascular diseases, doubling a person's risk of death [2].

Diabetes is rapidly emerging as a global health care problem that threatens to become the 7th leading cause of death in the world by the year 2030; the number of people with diabetes worldwide is projected to increase from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million by 2030, as shown in the below graphical map [6].

Millions of Cases of Diabetes in 2000 and Projections for 2030, with Projected Percent Changes

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder, where role of insulin in the body is disturbed. In cases where, the insulin is not produced by pancreas in the individuals is termed as Type 1 diabetes, while condition where he insulin produced is not well utilized in the body to bring down blood glucose is termed as Type 2 diabetes. In both cases the blood glucose remains relatively very high than normal levels. Another condition where the blood glucose level is high but not as much to consider them as diabetic levels is called pre-diabetes. These increased blood glucose conditions can however be prevented, delayed or managed by healthy food habits and daily physical exercises [1].

Fenugreek:

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) has a historical use for a variety of health condition. The dried seeds of fenugreek can be powdered and taken orally for health benefits. Fenugreek is studied to have 2 main beneficial components for diabetics: diosgenin and 4-hydroxyisoleucine. In one study, different doses of diosgenin was administered orally to group of diabetic rats and normal healthy rats; the 45th day results showed significant decline in blood glucose level and a significant increase in plasma insulin level. These effects were compared with glibenclamide, a standard oral hypoglycemia drug [4]. In another study, insulin resistant-human liver cells were treated with 4-hydroxyisoleucine resulting in increased glycogen levels in the cells as a result of reversal of insulin resistance [5].

Quinoa:

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) is nutrition packed vegetable seed, often a choice of substitute for whole grain. The nutrients found in quinoa are riboflavin (vitamin B2), quercetin, tocopherols, polyphenols, saponins, phytosterols, minerals, vitamins, anti-oxidants and high fiber content altogether making it a great choice for the diabetics [9]. Quinoa was studied for its potential type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)- hyperglycemia-relevant alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase activities, quercetin derivatives and antioxidant activity. These pseudograins proved to be a part effective dietary strategy for managing T2DM as they were rich in quercetin and had the highest antioxidant activity [10].

Barley:

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a multi-nutrient cereal grain, which has a nutlike flavor and an appealing chewy consistency when cooked. It is known not only for its rich content of molybdenum, manganese, dietary fiber, and selenium, but also for its fair amounts of copper, vitamin B1, chromium, phosphorus, magnesium, and niacin. Its role in diabetes management is proved through studies. A particular study proved that the starch digestibility rate is the least in barley compared to its counterpart grains like wheat, rice, oats and corn. This also accounts for the high phenolic content of barley making it an ideal snack to modulate glycemic response [11]. Clinical trials on 56 diabetic patients with 3 months follow-up studies showed decreasing plasma glucose levels and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) with every consecutive months [12].

Ragi:

Ragi, aslo called finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) is a deep red cereal and are tiny grain like appearance. It has been extensively studied for its nutrition and role in maintain good health is the last few years. It is found to be a good source of thiamine, iron, calcium, rich in dietary fiber, low in fat content, hence it is food of low glycemic index gaining advantage of bring anti-diabetic. A study trial on 6 non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) subjects consuming finger millet based diets showed significant lower plasma glucose levels accounting to the higher fiber content of finger millet compared to rice and wheat [13]. The carbohydrates present in finger millet are slowly digested and absorbed into the system and hence, regular consumption of finger millet is known to reduce the risk of diabetes mellitus [14].

Wild garlic:

Wild garlic (Tulbaghia violacea) is an herbaceous plant with garlic-like odor, mainly grown in South African countries. It is well known as an ornamental plant, its bulbs and leaves being the edible parts for therapeutic purposes. Study on effects of aqueous extract of T. violacea on Chang liver cells showed significant increased glucose uptake activity [15]. Another study on diabetic rat models showed treatment by methanolic extracts of the wild garlic resulted in significant decrease in fasting blood glucose levels, improved glucose tolerance and significant increase in plasma insulin and liver glycogen content compared to non treated diabetic group of rats [16].

Bitter melon:

Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) or Balsam pear is an edible fruit pod, mainly a part of Asian foods. As the name goes it is very bitter in taste and found to have health beneficial roles. Studied for its potential in diabetes management, it contains insulin activators like momordicine II and 3-hydroxycucurbita-5, 24-dien-19-al-7, 23- di-O-β-glucopyranoside; and hypoglycemic agents like charantin, polypeptide-p and vicine [7]. A 4-week, double-blind trial on type 2 diabetes patients showed that a dosage of 2000 mg/day of powdered bitter melon had modest hypoglycemic effects and the results were comparably closer to the effects of the anti-diabetic drug metformin 1000 mg/day [8]. The anti-diabetic effects of bitter melon are seen only at therapeutic doses, while high doses may exert inhibitory effects.

Okra:

Also commonly known as lady’s finger (Abelmoschus esculentus), is a slender green vegetable with nutritious pods inside them. It is rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, as well as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Okra also contains high levels of mucilaginous fiber. For many years okra has been used as a traditional medicine for diabetes and for the last few years are also studied in labs. Studies have been done mostly on diabetic rats, which when treated with seed powder resulted in decreased blood glucose as okra has the ability inhibit absorption of glucose in the intestines by blocking alpha-glucosidase, an enzyme that helps in carbohydrate digestion [18]. One other study, involving humans in Africa showed that consuming okra as part of a Mediterranean diet, may reduce the risk of blindness in type 2 diabetics [17].

Mixed berries:

Berries like raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and blueberries are natural nutritious source of flavonoids. Darker and riper berries tend to have higher flavonoid value [20]. Refer the table below for a list of berries and the type of flavonoid they possess. A study was done to show the beneficial effect of specific flavonoids on insulin sensitivity. A follow up study on a large group of men and women free of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer at baseline was carried out using dietary intakes of major flavonoid subclasses. Results proved that higher intakes of anthocyanins were significantly associated with a lower risk of type-2 diabetes [19].

Berry fruit	Flavonid type
Blueberries	Quercetin and myricetin
Cranberries	Quercetin and myricetin
Black grapes	Epicatechin and catechin
Blackberries	Epicatechin and catechin
Raspberries	Anthocyanidins and cyanidin
Cherries	Anthocyanidins and cyanidin
Red Grapes	Anthocyanidins and cyanidin
Strawberries	Quercetin, Epicatechin and catechin

Dates:

Date palms (Phoenix dactylifera) are oval or cylindrical shaped fruit, and are bright red to bright yellow in color. They are the sweetest and most nutritious of the dry fruits. To an extent they can be considered as the dessert fruit for the diabetics. They are packed with nutrition like calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, vitamin A, K, natural sugars and fiber. A study was carried out among healthy subjects and individuals with type-2 diabetes mellitus to study the effects on postprandial glucose excursions after intake of 5 varieties of dates. The results showed low glycemic indices for the five types of dates in all the participants and consumption of dates by diabetic individuals does not result in significant postprandial glucose excursions compared to the healthy controls [21].

Cornelian cherry:

Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) is a kind of berry it has an acidic flavor and best described as a mixture of cranberry and sour cherry. Well used in making jams and sauces and traditionally used as an anti-diabetic supplement. A study done, evaluated the effects of the fruit extract of this plant on biomarkers of glycemic control in adult patients with type 2 diabetes. The patients were treated with either the fruit extract or placebo capsules. After 6 weeks of intervention, a significant increase in insulin level, and decrease in HgbA1C and triglyceride levels were observed in drug group compared to placebo. This signifies that daily consumption of the fruit improves glycemic control by increasing insulin level in type 2 diabetic adult patients [22].

Low fat yogurt/dairy:

The greater health value of low fat diary product like low-fat milk, cheese and yogurt has been proved with respect to incidences of many health conditions in comparison to whole milk and high fat cheese and yogurt. A case-cohort study within the EPIC-Norfolk Study group was carried out using dairy diet for a week and their relation to the incidence of risk of type-2 diabetes was evaluated. Results showed that low fat diary diet especially low fat yogurt consumption everyday as a part of daily diet decreased the risk of type 2 diabetes developments in prospective analyses, suggesting that the consumption of specific dairy types may be beneficial for the prevention of diabetes [23].

2015-05-26T23:10:00.001+05:30

My daughter, Baby Tanvi was developing fever when she was first hospitalized on 21st October 2014 at Columbia Asia Referral Hospital, Bangalore. Through investigations, she was diagnosed as a case of Primary HLH (Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis) and treated using HLH 2004 protocol for which she remained hospitalized till 1st-Jan-2015.

Later, we were referred for further treatment to Mazumdar Shaw medical Center (NH) for Bone Marrow Transplant under the care of Dr. Sunil Bhat. Tests were conducted on my wife, son and me to find suitability of bone marrow donor, but unfortunately allof us tested negative. Indian Directory and other countries Stem Cell organisations were also approached, but we did not get any suitable donor. The doctor then suggested us to go ahead with Haplo-Identical using TCR alpha /Betaand CD19 depletion technique with the Mother as donor. The estimated cost for the Haplo-Identicaltransplant treatment is Rs. 30 to 32 lakhs.

The Insurance Company too denied providing coverage / reimbursement, as HLH is caused to due to genetic issues and with effect from 21st October 2014 does not cover such cases. Till date, I have spent nearly Rs. 11 lakhs towards treatment, diagnosis and investigations for bone marrow treatment. I have been trying TO RAISE MONEY through various means but am finding it a very big challenge to arrange this huge amount. Whatever I had saved has been spent for this treatment andin addition I am now burdened with loans. I make a heartfelt request to kindly help me in treating my daughter. I shall be greatly indebted. The estimate has been attached for Haplo-Identical transplant treatment below.

Every contribution as little as Rs. 500 or more from you can help us. Please come forward and helpour 9 month old baby. If you cannot contribute for whatsoever reason, please share it on Facebook, Twitter or other social media platforms you use.

The white clove remedy – GARLIC

- by Ashwini Jnanesha

The knowledge on health benefits of garlic dates back to ancient Hindu epics. An incident in the manuscripts quotes that drops of heavenly nectar were accidentally spilt on the Himalaya Mountains, and after a few days a small plant with the divine properties of the next was found growing. This plant was called ‘Rason’ meaning ‘king of rasas as it possesses five out of six tastes (taste, sweet, salt, pungent, bitter and astringent except sour). Rason is known as garlic in English, and its biological name is Allium sativum. For over years it has been used as a natural flavouring agent in cuisines and extensively used for its medicinal value. The potential health benefits of garlic reside in one of its natural component, allicin, a strong antimicrobial. Allicin is the main active component in garlic, which in turn forms the other active components of garlic accounting for a list of health benefits.

The Himalayan wonder Garlic is a natural garlic product devoid of preservatives or any processing. It is the only form of garlic with the potential to grow in the snowy mountains and withstand the freezing temperatures. It can be included as a nutritional supplement on daily basis.

Side effects of garlic supplements (7):

Avoid garlic supplements (oral capsule/ tablet)

In cases of allergic to garlic showing allergy symptoms like hives, difficult breathing, and swelling of your face lips, tongue, or throat.
If planning to conceive
If on lactation period
If on certain prescribed medicines (in detail in garlic intervention section)
If skin shows redness, swelling, or blistering when applied on skin
If bleeding issues occur like nosebleeds, bleeding gums; also recommended to avoid supplements for at least two weeks before surgery and dental treatment as it hinders blood clotting
If suffering for over bleeding during menstruation

Common side effects (on eating raw garlic):

Unpleasant breath or body odor
Heartburn, burning in your mouth or throat
Nausea, vomiting, gas or
Diarrhea

Latest studies on Garlic:

Antibacterial activity: Allicin, a active constituent in garlic extracts shows potential antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. aureus and B. subtilis, at concentrations lower than that of the standard drug amoxicillin demonstrated by zone of inhibition test (9).
Cardiovascular diseases: The organosulfur compounds in garlic metabolises into diallyl sulfide, diallyl disulfide, diallyl trisulfide, diallyl tetrasulfide, ajoene and S-allyl cysteines show a broad range of cardiovascular benefits. A meta-analysis study of 1,649 participants showed significant reduction in blood TC, LDL-C and FBG levels, along with SBP and DBP compared to control substance treated subjects (10).
Ovarian cancer: Allicin activated JNK pathway in human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 resulting in cell apoptosis. The results were confirmed by action of SP600125, an inhibitor of JNK which blocked apoptosis of the cancer cells (11).
Osteoarthritis: Diallyl disulphide (DADS), another active component of garlic is studied to show histone deacetylases (HDAC) inhibitor activity. The HDACs functions in activating the expression of MMPs, which degrades chondrocytes (12).
Antiinflammatory activity: Alliin (S-allyl cysteine sulfoxide), an organosulfur compound of garlic significantly reduced the expression of proinflammatory genes, IL-6, MCP-1, and Egr-1 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes by modifying adipocyte metabolic profile (13).

Garlic supplement dosage (8):

The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
Oral dosage:

For high blood pressure: Garlic extract 600-1200 mg divided and given three times daily.
Aged garlic extract 600 mg to 7.2 grams per day has also been used.
Fresh garlic 4 grams (approximately one clove) once daily has also been used.
For prevention of colon, rectal, and stomach cancer: fresh or cooked garlic 3.5-29 grams weekly.

Application on skin:
For fungal skin infections (ringworm, jock itch, athlete’s foot): garlic ingredient ajoene as a 0.4% cream, 0.6% gel, and 1% gel applied twice daily for one week

Garlic relish

Garlic has made its way in culinaries around the globe as in pickles, pastas, salads, and forms of garlic breads, sauces, and the variety of curries of Asian countries. Studies have shown that the best way to retain the health benefits of garlic while cooking is to add crushed or chopped garlic just before finishing of the cooking process so as to not lose the allicin when stirred into foods at very high temperatures. Here are some picks on garlic infused menu around the globe.

Kakkada is a month in the Kodava calendar falling between July 17th and August 16th during the monsoon season amid heavy downpour, biting cold and dark cloud cover.

On the 18th day of kakkada, a sweet dish is prepared using the juice of a particular variety of plant called ‘maddh thopp’ which yields a dark purple juice when crushed. The juice is darkest during ‘kakkada’, indicating that its medicinal value is at its height. The dish is called ‘maddh kool’. It is believed that the plant has 18 kinds of medicinal values on the 18th day of ‘kakkada’. It is a tradition for every household to make ‘maddh kool’ on the 18th day of ‘kakkada’.

Kakkada is nothing but Ashada of the Kannadigas, Aati of the Tulvas and Aadi of the Tamils. The 18th day of Kakkada month is celebrated as the festival pertaining to Ayurvedic herbs.

Maddhu soppu is plucked and boiled in water to get the aromatic juice which will be in dark violet colour. Cakes and sweet porridge is prepared from this juice and consumed.

‘Kakkada koli' and ‘madd payasa' are the delicacies prepared on this day

How to Prepare “ madd toppu” or “ aati soppu” or “Kurunji toppu”

- On the 18th day of the “ Kakkada” month, these leaves are said to be replete with 18 types of herbal medicines.

KAILPOD, KAILPODH, KAILPOLDH,KAIL MURTA or KAIL MUHURTHA (ಕೈಲ್ ಮಹೂರ್ತ)?

2012-09-01T21:39:00.001+05:30

KAILPOD, KAILPODH, KAILPOLDH,KAIL MURTA or KAIL MUHURTHA (ಕೈಲ್ ಮಹೂರ್ತ)? WHY DO WE CELEBRATE THE FEST – A PEEK INTO OUR CULTURE? A simple question many answers possibly?

Promote Kodagu on Kailpodhu Fest across the world

To, The people/Lovers of Kodagu, Simple Know how of the Festival - Kailpodhu Kailpodhu is celebrated on the 3rd of September. Officially, the festival begins on the 18th day after the sun enters the Simha Raasi (the Western sign of Leo).

Kail means weapon or armory and Pold means festival. The day signifies the completion of "nati" - meaning the transplantation of the rice (paddy) crop. The festival signifies the day when men should prepare to guard their crop from wild boars and other animals, since during the preceding months, in which the family were engaged in the fields, all weapons were normally deposited in the "Kanni Kombare", or the prayer room. Hence on the day of Kailpoldu, the weapons are taken out of the Pooja room, cleaned and decorated with flowers. They are then kept in the "Nellakki Nadubade", the central hall of the house and the place of community worship. Each member of the family has a bath, after which they worship the weapons. Feasting and drinking follow. The eldest member of the family hands a gun to the senior member of the family, signifying the commencement of the festivities. The whole family assembles in the "Mand" (open ground), where physical contests and sports, including marksmanship, are conducted. In the past the hunting and cooking of wild game was part of the celebration, but today shooting skills are tested by firing at a coconut tied onto the branch of a tall tree. Traditional rural sports, like grabbing a coconut from the hands of a group of 8-10 people (thenge potho), throwing a stone the size of a cricket ball at a coconut from a distance of 10-15 paces (thenge odupo) a stone ball of 30-40cm lying at one's feet and throwing it backwards over the shoulders, etc., are now conducted in community groups called Kodava Samajas in towns and cities.

The Moment anyone thinks of a Coorg/kodagu the First Impression is Simply Boozers and Beautiful Gals and the Tradiational dress. On the event of Kailpodhu just give a simple thought about our place – Kodagu. What have we done apart from roaring on the forefathers property and the tradition. The new generation have changed the way they think or act. Where are the Moustaches or where are the Sarees and Kupyas gone?? All look at the metro life or Page 3 life on a weekend and also not to forget the love to fly abroad and study and work – Good run towards the growth . Ultimately if you turn back and take examples of anyone – one has to return to his Mannu- his own soil –Kodagu.

** Think Over *** Look at Coorg/kodagu as a place You can relate yourself and also look at promoting the place – an alternative to make sure we contribute something for Our Place- KODAGU.
1. A simple Long Ride or Drive to Coorg
2. Cool 2 days plan + Campfire
3. Supercool stay during the winter as good as Ooty/Ninital
4. Not to forget – Cauvery Visit – TalaKaveri, Kaveri Nisarghadhama, River Raftimg at Dubare 5. Orange county /Kadkani/ Mahindra resorts/Coog International
6. Simple Homestays And many more……….

Remembering those who fought for freedom

Staff Correspondent

A rare document from 1931 reveals the role played by freedom fighters from Kodagu

The ‘manapatra' saluted the 98 men and women who revolted against the British
The work on the Freedom Fighters' memorial at Gonicoppa started 12 years ago

Legacy:A picture of freedom fighters with Mallengada Chengappa (right) at the laying of the foundation stone for the Freedom Fighters' memorial in Gonicoppa on December 16, 1998.

Madikeri: A rare document from 1931 obtained by The Hindu here speaks volumes about people from Kodagu district who were in the forefront of the freedom struggle under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi.

The people of Kodagu had issued a ‘manapatra' then, a letter of honour, commending and saluting the 98 brave men and women who revolted against the British, following the footsteps of the Father of the Nation. They had taken part in the satyagraha in 1930-31 and were incarcerated.

Pandyanda Belliappa, Kollimada Karumbaiah, Chekkera Monnaiah, Makki Krishnaiah, Mallengada Chengappa, Abdul Gafoor Khan, Ajjikuttira Chinnappa, Ponnimada Machaiah, Kalengada Chinnappa, K.M. Subraya, Puliyanda Subbaiah, V. R. Thammaiah, Bidarur Madaiah, Chokira Madappa, Poojari Muthappa, Pandikanda Madappa, H.R. Krishnaiah were some among the people honoured by the people of Kodagu in 1931. Puliyanda Subbaiah, who hailed from Maggula village, was a true Gandhian till his death. He wore Khadi and counselled patience whenever a rift arose among people. So was V.R. Thammaiah, another Gandhian, who also hailed from the village. Elders say that H.R. Krishnaiah even refused to apply for pension after Independence saying if the Government recognised his contribution, it should come to his doorstep and give him the pension papers.

Even women did not lag behind. Kotera Accavva, Balyatanda Muddavva, Mukkatira Bojamma, Machimanda Medakka, Appanderanda Kalamma also joined the freedom struggle. The manapatra given to them on March 11, 1931, stated that they had been imprisoned for preaching the message of Mahatma Gandhi and taking part in the satyagraha.

The manapatra further stated that the people of Kodagu would not be able to offer them (the freedom fighters) privileges such as ‘Jahagir', ‘Umbali' — both land grants for service rendered — or ‘Pinchani' (pension), but would carry forward the noble message of freedom struggle, support and abide by it.

A sentence read significantly that “Bharata mateya makallada Kodaginavaru drohigalalla, Bhartada veera putra putriyaru embudannu prapanchakke saridiri”. This meant “the people of Kodagu, who are the children of mother India, are not traitors. You have heralded a message to the world that you are valiant sons and daughters of India.” The people who were mentioned in the manapatra at the function presided by Biddanda Subbaiah, also had taken a pledge to follow the ideals propounded by Gandhiji such as ‘swadeshi' and liquor prohibition.

A section of people might feel that some people of Kodagu supported the British. But it cannot be forgotten that Guddemane Appaiah Gowda who had fought the British was hanged at the Fort here by the British on October 31, 1837, much before the Sepoy Mutiny took place.

Kodagina Gowramma had offered all her jewellery to Gandhiji when he had visited here soliciting peoples' support for continuing the freedom movement in the early 1930s.

It is an unfortunate irony that the Freedom Fighters' memorial, the work for which started at Gonicoppa 12 years ago and the Guddemane Appaiah Gowda memorial, of which works are now underway, are yet to be completed.
