Kannada language is yet to get the benefits of its classical language status although it has been made than a year ago. A language with classical status gets Two International awards for eminent scholars, which goes to two Kannada scholars, a center for excellence for studies in Kannada and professional chairs on Kannada have to be created in central university under UGC.
It would be great if the government forms a department for publishing books in Kannada and be made available at cheaper prices to the common man.
I was really happy when i saw many Kannada book stalls in Bangalore Book Festival this year. If some organisation or government brings the translation of great Kannada literature into English or local languages like Telugu, Tamil, Hindi and so on, then people like me who don't know Kannada can also benefit from these great writings.

INSPIRING PAINTINGS ONLY
I or I can say WE don't have the ability to understand the paintings by great painters unless they or someone explain their paintings and their emotions/feelings/creativeness/sensitivity/colours and so on in their paintings. Artist in metros like Mumbai and Bangalore are coming out with their brushes and creativity to paint the public walls which are normally full of filmi posters or business advertisements. This is good sign in two ways.
1. People can see something meaningful while on drive on the roads rather than these ugly filmi
posters or business ads. The great things is that the ART which is normally under closed doors
and is available only for the selected people is thrown open to the common man. [For me,
R K Laxman - the cartoonists in all newspapers are only painters but not M F
Hussians and so on]. I am happy to see ART ON THE ROAD AVAILABLE FREELY TO THE COMMON PUBLIC.
2. Artist have the chance to display their arts to the common public and inspire them to whatever
extent they can.
What I saw on Bangalore roads were the paintings of Historical Importance, Religious places paintings and so on. Inspiring paintings will do more good. Paintings with good captions or sayings by the person or place will be more helpful.
Sad, I have not seen any paintings of Gandhiji or Dr.Ambedkar and their sayings.
