The Jnanpith Award is the literary honour. It is presented by the Jnanpith Trust, which is largely owned by the publishers of The Times of India.
Times of India, is pro Karnataka news papers this is the well known fact all over India, thats why they gave more Janpit Award to Kannada(7 times) than any other languages.
So there is nothing to proud about getting more Janapith award for Kannadigas and that is not the only thing which will bring the Kannada to Classical Tag.
Kannada is just 1000 years old, it has to sustain 1000 more years for getting this classical tag. Because as per international norm, a language which exists more than 2000 years only will qualify for classical tag.

2000 years ago there was no Tamilnadu. It was all Kannadigas and Andhrites in that part. The Tamilians lived in Ceylon and other Islands south of Ceylon and near Singapore. They invaded South India and captured minor provinces near Nagercoil, Madurai, Tanjore and Chennai. The Kannadigas and Teluguites were driven to the North due to the oppression of Tamilians. This is well documented in the Dravidian Invasion Theory and published by Anna University.
