Two days after the Karnataka government accorded minority religion tag to the dominant community Lingayats, Kodavas, a martial race from the coffee-growing district of Kodagu has demanded that they should too be declared as a religious minority.
On Wednesday, a memorandum was submitted to state minorities department on behalf of the community by M M Bansy and Vijay Muthappa. The department has forwarded the demand to Karnataka State Minorities Commission.
