''Kannada Rajyotsava'' ((カンナダ語:ಕನ್ನಡ ರಾಜ್ಯೋತ್ಸವ); Karnataka Formation Day; literally "Birth of the Karnataka state") is celebrated on 1 November every year. This was the day in 1956 when all the Kannada language-speaking regions of South India were merged to form the state of Karnataka.〔("Kannadigas celebrate Karnataka Rajyotsava on Nov 1" )〕 The Rajyotsava day is listed as a government holiday in the state of Karnataka〔(Festivals of India - Rajyotsava Day )〕 and is celebrated by Kannadigas across the world.〔 It is marked by the announcement and presentation of the honours list for Rajyotsava Awards by the Government of Karnataka, hoisting of the unofficial Karnataka flag with an address from the Chief Minister and Governor〔(IBN Live - Karnataka Governor greets people ahead of 'Rajyotsava Day' )〕 of the state along with community festivals, orchestra, Kannada book releases and concerts.〔(The Hindu - ‘Sacrifice of Kannadigas should be remembered' )〕 ==History== (詳細はAluru Venkata Rao was the first person who dreamt of unifying the State as early as 1905 with the ''Karnataka Ekikarana'' movement.〔 In 1950, India became republic and different provinces were formed in the country on the basis of language spoken in the particular region and this gave birth to the state of Mysore including various places in south India, which were earlier ruled by the kings.〔 On 1 November in 1956, Mysore state, comprising most of the area of the erstwhile princely state of Mysore, was merged with the Kannada-speaking areas of the Bombay and Madras presidencies, as also of the principality of Hyderabad, to create a unified Kannada-speaking sub national entity. North Karnataka, Malnad (Canara) and old Mysore were thus the three regions of the newly formed Mysore state. The newly unified state initially retained the name "Mysore", which was that of the erstwhile princely state which formed the core of the new entity.〔(Karnataka - A brief profile » Kannada Rajyotsava )〕 But the people of North Karnataka did not favour the retention of the name Mysore, as it was closely associated with the erstwhile principality and the southern areas of the new state. In deference to this logic, the name of the state was changed to "Karnataka" on 1 November 1973. Devaraj Urs was the Chief Minister of the state when this landmark decision was taken.〔(DNA India - In the dark about Rajyotsava in Bangalore )〕 Other people credited for the unification of Karnataka include littérateurs like K. Shivaram Karanth, Kuvempu, Masti Venkatesha Iyengar, A. N. Krishna Rao and B. M. Srikantaiah.〔 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「Karnataka Rajyotsava」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
