But when one gets a 'identity' for himself, never he will like to called by his roots. Is it?
Researches can be done and articles can be written in either way. And it doesnt mean anything otherthan saying you it is analysis done for some purpose.
Moreover, no todays Indian langauge is Independent. The prolonging history says the links of sindhi, bhrauni (?) and tamil having similarity having its acutal root from ours great civilization, Indus. Even Hindi and Tamil have common root and no one will be ready to accept this fact. To put some support in a simple way to above say, just check out by writing down the frist letter 'Aha' of both this rounded scripts languages and see from you eye the sameness.
If this is the case where did you found kannada being independent of world.
