Championing Kannada: Tangadagi Transforms Culture into Statecraft
The New Indian Express Shivamogga
|June 26, 2025
In a world where economic metrics often overshadow cultural pursuits, Shivaraj Tangadagi's approach is a timely reminder of the enduring power of language and heritage. His stewardship of the Kannada and Culture department stands as a beacon for future leaders, illustrating that true progress is measured not just in financial terms, but in the vibrancy and resilience of a people's identity.
-
Raise your hand for Kannada, and your hand becomes a Kalpavriksha (wish-fulfilling tree)! Raise your voice for Kannada, and the conch of truth shall sound! Even a lifted finger for Kannada will transform into the strength of Govardhan!" — Inspired by this evocative proclamation of the national poet Kuvempu, Kannada and Culture Minister Shivaraj Tangadagi has indeed earned the accolade, "Sai!" (an affirming cheer).
When Chief Minister Siddaramaiah entrusted him with the twin portfolios of Backward Classes Welfare and Kannada and Culture, Tangadagi embraced the responsibility with a deep sense of commitment. The literary and cultural circles, initially skeptical, were soon won over by his sincere and soulful approach.
