Pulakeshin Il had a son (some say daughter) named Ambera who was named in his own language (Sva Bhashaya) Kannada
The use of Kannada names was popular even at that time, the Early Chalukya rulers used to have many Kannada names equivalent to their Sanskrit one

Fake degree, fake experience, fake history...
History is best understood through facts.
The term ‘Carnatic’ was used to differentiate South Indian music from Hindustani, not to indicate exclusivity to any single region.
Based on the above fact, let's look into more:
Annamacharya composed nearly 30,000 samkirtanas in Telugu long before Purandara Dasa, highlighting Telugu’s deep-rooted influence in Carnatic music.
Telugu has significantly shaped Carnatic music, with legendary composers like Annamacharya, Kshetrayya, Bhadrachala Ramadasu, and the famous Trinity (Tyagaraja, Syama Sastri, Muthuswami Dikshitar) creating a vast number of kritis in Telugu.
While Telugu holds a significant place, with a notable portion of compositions in this language, let's celebrate the diversity of Carnatic music, where languages like Kannada, Tamil, and Sanskrit have also played significant roles. This is about history, not division - no disrespect intended. Let’s keep this space mutual and respectful. Thank you!"

The bloated size of our constitution is a core reason why it sucks!
The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.
And the more numerous the laws, the more tyrannical the government.
Make a million laws, and you can punish anyone for anything, anytime you want.
