  Akka - LoveToKnow 1911
AKKA (Mau-T=1), a race of African pygmies first seen by the traveller G. Schweinfurth in 1870, when he was in the Mangbettu country, N.W. of Albert Nyanza.
The home of the Akka is the dense forest zone of the Aruwimi district of the Congo State.
The Akka are nomads, living in the forests, where they hunt game with poisoned arrows, with pitfalls and springs set everywhere, and with traps built like huts, the roofs of which, hung by tendrils only, fall in on the animal.

Akka Mahadevi (ಅಕ್ಕ ಮಹಾದೇವಿ) Born to Nirmala and Sumati in Udatadi (or Udugani) near the ancient city of Banavasi (in Shikaripura taluk Shimoga district) in a Shiva temple was a prominent figure of the Veerashaiva Bhakti movement in 12th century Karnataka.
Yet the term 'Akka' (elder Sister) which is an honorific given to her by great Veerashaiva saints like Basavanna, Cenna Basavanna, Kinnari Bommayya, Siddharama, Allamaprabhu and Dasimayya speaks volumes of her contribution to Kannada literature and the history of Karnataka.
Akka was a revelation here in that she not only rose for emancipation but also has sung vachanas which are so simple but of highest order.

Akka Mahadevi, who lived in the 12th century, struggled to peel away this veneer, both in herself and in people around her.

Akka was a more daring poet than, say, a Mira, and her explicit images glow with a luminosity that 900 years haven't been able to dim.
