Kuwait: State of Karnataka is enriched with Daasa culture, which had contributed immensely to its literature, culture, art & philosophy. Daasa tradition in Karnataka was part of the Bhakti movement which flourished from around 15th century and it extended considerable spiritual influence over the masses. Kuwait Kannada Koota, a socio-cultural association for the people of Karnataka in Kuwait, organized its annual Daasotsava on 14th February 2020 in remembrance of these saints, thereby displaying the rich cultural heritage of the state.
The program started with a warm welcome address by Mrs. Spoorthy Kamath, convener of cultural committee. Divine invocation prayer by Mrs. Vasantha Ashok and Mrs. Sandhya Arun set the trend for the event. This was followed by lighting of the traditional lamp by the 2020 executive committee, comprising of President Mr. Rajesh Vittal, Vice President Mr. Sandeep Chabba, General Secretary Mr. Praveen Kumar Shetty and Treasurer Mr. Pradeep Rao. President, while welcoming the gathering, spoke about the importance of Daasas in Kannada literature & history and briefed about the series of upcoming programs. Cultural programs started with fancy dress competition by Koota children comprising of all age group starting from infants to elder kids. This program stole the show as the efforts & time invested by children and their parents were clearly visible.
2019 executive committee was felicitated by the current committee for wonderfully managing Koota affairs & programs. This was followed by the release of Koota magazine “Marala Mallige", comprising of informative articles, drawings, poems etc., entirely contributed by the association members. Event’s main attraction “Vrindavana Leelavarana", a colorful dance drama spectacularly portrayed by 54 Koota children, was very well appreciated & received by the attendees. Association children who successfully completed 10th and 12th were felicitated as a token of encouragement. Executive committee gave away prizes to Kids who excelled in the stage competitions held earlier. Audience was treated to a divine and melodious Bhajan program conducted astutely by the ladies & men. Koota women performed Bhajan Kolata, along with ladies bhajan, in a well-coordinated manner. Vote of thanks was proposed by the secretary of Koota, thanking those who contributed for the success of the event.

Dear Ashraf 39#,
You mean to say Congress is secular who allowed to demolish Babri Masjid, who allowed and let free Modi for Gujarat Massacre? Congress using muslim vote, never give tickets to Muslim candidate where he can win, Congress play with Sachar committee by not implementing. Lacs of Muslim youths were charged and detained terrorism by fabricated case during Congress rule.
Finally AK Antony gave report that Congress has lost due to more favourism to Muslims.
Who is secular.. could you please look at history he joined hands with BJP for getting CM and he was CM for 2 and Half years and he had compromise with BJP . now u guys feeling so honoured & great that you have achieved milestone after meeting him.. please be not in wrong impression after meeting he will do some favour for muslims.. we have only one trust and belief in ALLAH.. thats all.. and please SDPI dont play dirty Politics in the name of religion...SPARE US

The so called secular HDK once labelled madrasa is the breeding place for terrorism. JD(S) is responsible for the growth of BJP in Karnataka. Mustak you are right SDPI wasting their time,energy and money to honoring this type of leaders.
Good to see Gajni (HDK) of Karnataka forget the meaning of secular whenever is in Power
Guys first teach him the meaning of ???????? and expect anything from him
Y you guys wasting time to honour him
Use the same time to strengthen your Party
Good to see Gajni part 2(HDK) with secular people
Guys should have taught him the meaning of Secular
Coz when he was in power he forgot that.
Don't expect anything from him.
Ver Good move ....JDS will benefit from this for sure....but also other side , DALITS , OBC ,christians and Muslims will be benefitted by SDPI who is emerging as hopeful party with real approach towards people oriented administration despite BJPs Media conspiracy .
Great Move ....secular parties should learn from this ......as HDK accepted that it was mistake to join BJP
Well done guys keep it up
All secular parties must unite to defeat BJP and Sangh which is like mosquito's life depends on other's blood.......

Now a days it is very difficult to find a good politicians. Most of the politicians are opportunists and chameleon character. They are playing vote bank politics with fake promises to appease the voters.
Noble cause meet with HDK by SDPI delegates and their purpose of meet was very clear raising voice for \minorities especially Muslims in upcoming annual budget\" NRK cards etc.. this is very important matter for muslims to influence former CM while they are in Assembly session to pointed out above matter.
SDPI always works for Muslim rights.
Well done Team"
The Muslim community has been deprived of all facilities being the largest minority community in Karnataka. Justice Rajender Singh in his report has thrown light into the pathetic living conditions of the Muslim community.
Well done keep it up...
