Those who had insulted it should have been booted into prison," Kumaraswamy stated without taking the name of Chakrathirtha."I am waiting for the release of the textbooks. There is a reference in a lesson that Kuvempu was able to be a poet by the support of others. Who is that fellow in the committee? What is his background? Rashtra Kavi Kuvempu has been insulted.
