Madikeri: Along with that, the rejuvenation of Codavaland Geo-Political Autonomy is the need of the hour. It was under the Suzerainty of the empire of Kosala kingdom, Emperor Dasharatha, and was known as Ramarajya till 1956. The title of the only Ramarajya in India was ratified and authenticated by the Iron Man of India, Sardar Patel, in Parliament in 1949:-
The magnificent Rama Temple at the birthplace of Purushotham Sri Ramachandra ji in Ayodhya is the true resurrection of the ancient spiritual living civilization of Bharathavarsha. We are all jubilant and happy for that. This majestic shrine holds great significance for both theists and believers throughout the entire Universe.
For the reality of this Temple, those who struggled in various forums selflessly, be it in the Political arena and in the judiciary, should be remembered with gratitude.
Now, in the backdrop of "Pranaprathistana Pooja" (The official Cosecration ceremony) on 22 January 2024 in Ayodhya, we Codavas under the aegis of CNC bring to the kind attention of the concerned the patriotic nationalistic Codava warrior community. They were the indigenous dwellers of erstwhile "Kroda Desha," which was part of Emperor Dasharatha's empire. They sheltered Sita-Rama-Laxman in their exile period and experienced Sriramas Ramarajya till 1956. They even actively took part in Ramajanmabhoomi Rathayathra.
When Sriramachandraji, Sita, and Laxman traveled towards South India and passed across the Eastern Ghat sector and Western Ghat sectors extensively during their Vanavasa Period, they stayed in Codavaland, aka Coorg, in their Exile/Ajnathavasa period. There is ample proof of their footprints across Codava Territory. They pilgrimaged to the divine spring Talacauvery, the presiding deity of Codava warriors. They ended their exile period in the "Irpu" Pilgrimage site. The holy spring of Perennial sources, i.e., Ramatheertha and Laxmanatheertha, the main tributaries of Cauvery, are originating from Brahmagiri Mountain range of Kurchinaad and were named after Rama and Laxmana. Where Sita Devi took a holy dip in the water spring is known as Papanashini, also situated in Kurchinad.In the very same Kurchinaad, Hanumantha Kundh mountain exists,which is named after Ramabhaktha
Anjaneya.
5.During the whole stay in their exile period, Codavas associated with them. Even in the wars against Demon King Ravana, Codava warriors extended their strategic and logistical help to Rama-Laxman. All these spiritual actions are sung by Codavas in their folkloric songs even now.
6."Krodha Desha" was the erstwhile name of Codava homeland Coorg. Codavu Desha is one among 56 Nation States of Bharathavarsha, which was reigned by Sriramachandaraji's Father Emperor Dasarath of Kosala Kingdom. The very same Codavaland under the nomenclature as Coorg Province and later State of Indian Union under the Constitution flourished and governed as a Welfare State and the only Ramarajya in the whole of India. This fact was highlighted, authenticated by the Iron Man of India, the greatest Statesman of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, in the floor of the Parliament in 1949 itself. While inquiring from Mr Mukat Behari Bhargava, the Member of Constituent Assembly India of from Ajmeer, and Mr Deshabandhu Gupta,Member of Constituent Assembly of India from Delhi, whether there is any welfare State in India functioning, Sardar Patel answered that there is no Constitution existing. Despite this, people of Coorg State are happy; there is no demand for anything from the Government, and the Martial Codavas have the Gun exemption Rights, still, there is no crime. Coorg is the only one Ramarajya existing in the whole of India.
7.It was merged on 1 November 1956 under the guise of the unscientific State Reorganization Act, which was the greatest political disastrous/blunder in the lives of Codavas. Following the amalgamation, continuous constitutional breaches by the State Government led to the ruin and destruction of an ancient tribe and their identity.
8.The Great Epic Ramayana is very close to Codava hearts.
How Sit Mata was kidnaped and stolen by Demon King Ravan,the very same way Sacrosanct Codava Homeland, Ramarajya, was stolen by "Democratic" dictators in 1956.Rama waged a war to liberate Sita Mata.Now we have to wage a Politico- legal and Constitutional battle to regain/liberate our holy land.
9.Now, world-renowned Economist, Harvard Scholar Dr. Subramanian Swamy ji, filed PIL under WP No- 7769/ 2023 for the creation of Codavaland Geo-Political Autonomy. Incidentally, Dr. Subramanian Swamy ji is the main legal luminary and Petetioner for the establishment of Rama Temple in Ayodhya who waged legal battles in Law Courts for the longest period and won the case. Staunch Ram Bhakth Dr. Swamy ji, is a key advocate for both the Rama Temple and the revival of Ramarajya in Coorg. Hence, kindly carve Codavaland Geo-Political Autonomy in the backdrop of magnificent Rama Temple in Ayodhya for Indigenous ultra Patriotic Warrior Codavas in the interest of Justice and Equity.
