The Hindu : Govt. urged to include names in poem |
 | | In a memorandum, the president of the Kannada Shakti Kendra and scholar, M. Chidananda Murthy, has urged the Government to include the names of Madhwacharya and Kumaravyasa in the poem, Jayabharata jananiya tanujaate, and help end the controversy over the nada geete (State song) as there is evidence that Kuvempu himself gave consent to this. |
 | | Jayabharata jananiya tanujate was first published in 1930 in the anthology, Kolalu, in which the names of Basaveshwara, Madhwacharya, and Kumaravyasa did not figure. |
 | | In 1971, G. Narayana, then president of the Kannada Sahitya Parishat, first brought the poet's attention to the "omission" of the names of Madhwacharya and Kumaravyasa in the poem. |
