Being a Kannadiga, I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know about this great historian, a chance encounter on Mysore gazette took me to an author who wrote 400 years of Wodeyar History.
On his Jayanti, let us learn more about #HayavadanaRao, a multifaceted personality whose

contribution to the building of modern Mysore is as significant as his pioneering work in reconstructing the history of ancient Karnataka.
Hayavadana Rao was born on 10 July 1865 in Hosur, after graduating in history, Rao studied law and economics and joined the Govt Museum,

Madras as a curator.
Rao worked as a curator till his retirement and compiled "The Indian Biographical Dictionary". Rao was a polyglot and was fluent in English, Latin, French, German, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi and Sanskrit.
He was a member of the ‘Royal Anthropological

Institute’ London, ‘Indian Historical Records Commission’ and a fellow of the ‘Royal Society of Economics’. He was thus very well equipped for his life’s mission which began in 1924, when he was appointed as the editor of a committee set up to revise the Gazetteer structured by

B.L.Rice.
These volumes continue to be the foundational texts for anyone interested in the history of Mysore state. Seven volumes of the revised version were published in due course. (Mysore gazetteer by C. Hayavadana Rao, Government Press, 1927) They are invaluable sources for

those that are interested in a systematic study of history, numismatics, epigraphy, architecture, anthropology and history of Karnataka.
He has written a commentary to ‘Srikara Bhashya’ by Sripathi Panditacharya. He has written a number of articles on historical issues.
Another

important contribution of Hayavadana Rao is ‘Indian Caste System’ A Study first published in 1931 by Bangalore Press, Bangalore and reprinted later in 1988.
Of the many works of Rao, I was fascinated with 3 volume nearly 3000 page ‘History of Mysore’ (1399-1799)
Rao Bahadur

Hayavadana Rao makes a note that,
British wrote for themselves & French for their own and narrates the Dog's death of Tipu's father Haider Ali and about Tyrant Tipu.
For the benefit of readers, I have attached the links for the 3 Volume Mysore History at the end.
On Jan 27, 1946

Hayavadana Rao finished his life's journey to join the feet of Hayagreeva.

” When the only

of the railway, so much so that there was one continuous firing for hours.”

We all have heard that #JyotiBasu lost the chance of becoming PM & I Thank God For That.
Just after the 1962 war, Jyoti Basu proclaimed publicly at a rally that “China cannot be the aggressor.”
This mean character served as Chief Minister for 23 years 4 months and 17 days from

1977 to 2000.
On his birthday, let me introduce to his killings of industry & people.
Much before they came to power in 1977, the CPI-M started experimenting with murder as a political instrument way back in 1970 when they murdered 2 important Congress workers belonging to the

Sain family of Burdwan. The level of bestiality that they stooped down to was evident by the fact that
they made the mother of the two Sain brothers eat rice drenched with the blood of her dead sons. As a result the mother lost her mental balance from which she could not recover

The Truth Behind #SuitBootKiSarkar.

On the occasion of death anniversary of #DhirubhaiAmbani, let us read how Indira & Co helped a clerk of Aden to become Polyster Prince of India or in other words Evolution of SuitBootKiSarkar with the help of Congress & Pranab Mukherjee.

When Congress was split into two, most big business of those days had sided with Congress (O) and Indira wanted her own moneybags whom she could trust and this was possible in the licence-permit raj where entrepreneurship could be engineered. A number of businessmen grew up

thanks to her largesse among them Dhirubhai Ambani, Kapal Mehra of Orkay.
DBA was a shrewd businessman but the initial help he got made Dhirubhai realise the power of the government. It could make or break business & with the sarkar on your side you could always be on the make.
