Codava National Council (CNC) will be taking out a special rally to the Parliament House in New Delhi on November 1, seeking a special status for Kodavas.
Speaking to reporters, CNC president N UNachappa said more than 5,000 Kodava men and women will participate in the massive rally which will travel to Delhi in a special train.
The CNC will be demanding for autonomous Kodava land, by considering the ancient traditional 45 nadas, which exclusively are inhabited by Kodavas. "The same should be declared to be an indivisible and ineffaceable Kodava home land under the 6th Schedule of our Constitution and Kodava race should be recognized as an Ethno linguistic tribal minority nationality, under Articles 340 and 342 of the Constitution," urged Nachappa.
"The Centre must also ensure the protection of minority Kodava race living elsewhere beyond Kodava land spread throughout the world and uphold their individual fundamental rights and extend all such acts towards such an end," said Nachappa.
