Prabhuddha Karnataka

Prabuddha Karnataka is one of the few mature newspapers in India. Prabhapunja, Pratibhavalaya, Hosagannada, built by the enlightened Karnataka Krishna Shastris, can never forget the great role played by the Prabuddha Karnataka in opening up a new Manvantara. If Karnataka Sangha is the fruit of his efforts, Prabuddha Karnataka is the fruit of his visionary genius.

The Karnataka Sangha, which was born as a sum of Akhanda Karnataka, enabled it to expand its branches all over Karnataka. This appears to be a commendable matter. Maharaja College, Mysore was its sister association, where the 'Karnataka Association' arose. Both the very first 'Karnataka Sanghas', which have served immensely in the revival of Kannada literature, were established within the University. Later, both the Sanghas together enabled the growth of ‘Prabuddha Karnataka' and the Sangha of Central College, Bangalore was seen as the mother Sangha as a model for all Karnataka Sanghas. For this, it was thought that B. Venkatanarayanappa, who was a professor of physics at Central College, should be made the president first. Finally AR Krishnashastri himself was appointed as the president of the association. It can be seen here that Prabuddha Karnataka, which grew under his editorship, elevated him to the position of President of the Kannada Sahitya Sammelana.

There are two platforms established by Krishnashastris in Central College to make the youth and scholars of different languages interact with each other, one is 'Karnataka Sangha', another is 'Prabuddha Karnataka' which was started in 1919. There is an immense hope behind the start of any newspaper or work. Also they are born due to the social conditions of that time. Similarly, in the beginning of the 20th century, the status of Kannada was cornered, and Kannada itself was in a state of insignificance. Then A.R. Krishnashastri was seen as a pulse for Kannada. Prabuddha Karnataka was started in 1919 under the shadow of 'Karnataka Sangh' to give a new spirit to Kannada which was cornered.
