Teaching Tulu at primary level sought

 

Mangalore: Teaching Tulu from the primary level is necessary to safeguard the language and culture from the onslaught of modern culture and other languages, said Palthadi Ramakrishna Achar, president of the Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Academy. 

He was speaking at `Tuluvere Ayano', Tulu folklore festival, held at Nagabemmere Padavu in Badiyadka near here on Saturday. 

Referring to the history of Tulu, he said it is an important language of South India and one can see references to it in the Halmidi inscription, which is considered to be the earliest historical record available in Kannada language.
