While reading works of #Shamba etc, we shouldn't forget their thoughts were clouded by colonial narratives. I find very strange and odd, fell for the black-white racist theories as well. The names like ಕಾಳವ್ವ, ಕರಿಯಪ್ಪ aren't specific to Kannada. Didn't we have काली & कृष्ण ? 
How the bias does show up in #Shamba's writing. We should not forget a writer is product of their times.
Very clear #Shamba has totally fallen for the Dravida-Arya racist theories of the 18th-19th centuries.
