Dakshina Kannada is a coastal district in the state of Karnataka in India. Sheltered by the Western Ghats on the east and surrounded by the Arabian Sea on the west, Dakshina Kannada receives abundant rainfall during the monsoon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Brief Industrial Profile of Dakshina Kannada District )〕 It is bordered by Udupi District to the north, Chikkamagaluru district to the northeast, Hassan District to the east, Kodagu to the southeast, and Kasaragod District in Kerala to the south.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Chapter 3 - Profile of the study Area - Coastal Karnataka )〕 Mangalore city is the district headquarters of Dakshina Kannada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Dakshina Kannada District Profile )〕 The district is divided into five talukas namely Mangalore, Bantwal, Puttur, Sullia, and Belthangady.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Dakshina Kannada Tehsil Map )〕 It used to include 4 northern talukas, Udupi, Kundapur, Karkala and Byndoor, but these were separated in August 1997 to form Udupi district.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chapter III - Profile of Karnataka state )〕 Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Kasaragod taluk are often called Tulu Nadu, as Tulu is the majority language in the region. The Alupas ruled this region between the 8th and 14th century CE as a feudatory of all the major Kannada empires of those times and it is for this reason that the Tulu speaking districts are a part of Karnataka. Important towns in Dakshina Kannada include Mangalore, Bantwal, Vittal, Puttur, Sullia, Surathkal, Moodabidri, Uppinangadi, Venur, Mulki, Dharmasthala, Ujire and Subramanya.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Handbook of Karnataka - Chapter IX - Administration )〕 The district is known for pristine beaches, red clay roof tiles (Mangalore tiles), cashew nut and its products, banking, education, healthcare and exotic cuisine. == History == Before 1860, Dakshina Kannada was part of a district called Kanara, which was under a single administration in the Madras Presidency.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Inscriptions of the Madras Presidency )〕 In 1860, the British split the area into South Kanara and North Kanara, the former being retained in the Madras Presidency, while the latter was made a part of Bombay Province in 1862.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Imperial Gazetteer of India, South Kanara )〕 Kundapura taluk was earlier included in North Kanara, but was re-included in South Kanara later.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Imperial Gazetteer of India - Volume XI )〕 During the Reorganisation of States in 1956, Kasaragod was split and transferred to the newly created Kerala state and Dakshina Kannada was transferred to Mysore state (present day Karnataka). South Canara was a district under the British empire which included the present Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Kasaragod districts and Aminidivi islands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Inscriptions of the Madras Presidency )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Template for district gazetteer - Lakshadweep )〕 Canara district was bifurcated in 1859 to form North Canara and South Canara. Dakshina Kannada became a district of Mysore State in 1956 which later was renamed Karnataka in 1973. Kasargod became a district of Kerala during the Re-organization of States and Aminidivi islands later became a part of Lakshadweep. The Udupi district was formed from the northern taluks of Dakshina Kannada in 1997.〔Patsy Lozupone, Bruce M. Beehler, Sidney Dillon Ripley.(2004).(''Ornithological gazetteer of the Indian subcontinent'', p. 82 ).Center for Applied Biodiversity Science, Conservation International. ISBN 1-881173-85-2.〕 Later, the Karnataka Government, for the purpose of administration, split the greater Dakshina Kannada district into Udupi and present day Dakshina Kannada districts on 15 August 1997.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chapter III - Profile of Karnataka state )〕 Three taluks of the former DK district namely Udupi, Karkala and Kundapura formed the new Udupi district.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= South Kanara, 1799-1860: A Study in Colonial Administration and Regional Response )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dakshina Kannada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
