Does all these greatness make Kannada to b derived from Tamil as u claim? Including or not including Kannada to google doesnt make Kannada great or lesser.It is great by itself. The other Indian languages are introduced based on just population,not greatness they what they r worried abt. FIY kannada has one of the richest literaures with highest Jhnanpeet awardees. Also achivements of Tamils is more than than Kannadigas. That may b as TN is densely populated compared to KA(area of TN=2/3 of KA; population 1.5times KA). The competiton as result gets the best of them which is lacking in KA(drawback). Whereever they go out they find the place better than TN & settle down. Anyway v r not jealous of ur accolades. Even with all these u cant change History. Kannada is as old as Tamil & is independent. It has lent its script to various languages. Just bcos more no of people claim doesnt make it true. The truth is Kannada is also a classical language & the union doesnt want 2 accept for obvious reasons.
