    What an insult, look at the background its written in English "Kannada Rajotsava" is English way of celebrating Rajotsava, why couldn't they write in Kannada, as the meaning of Rajotsava is celebrating making of Karnataka state & Kannada language and culture. Probably St. Vincent Palloti church doesn't understand.
