Kodavas, a microscopic minority community hailing from Kodagu (Coorg) in Karnataka, were once known for their leadership qualities. This Kodava trait of being natural leaders was very much in evidence in the Defence services, and Kodagu came to be known as the ‘Land of the Generals’. However, in the last few decades, the community has not produced many truly outstanding men and women, except in the arena of sports. There could be many reasons for the setback. Though Kodavas are one of the most highly educated communities in India, I believe that they have not been able to break the glass ceiling in their chosen areas because of the lack of passion for what they do and a drive to excel. The reservations policy of the government has also probably made it difficult for Kodavas to get representation in the all-India services. As a chronicler of Kodagu, I felt that one of the reasons for their inability to play leadership roles, was the absence of enough ‘role models’ in the community. There was a time when many from Kodagu used to crack the IAS, but in recent years, one hardly comes across such achievements. With a view to reignite the famed leadership qualities in the community, I decided to promote ‘role models’ by instituting the concept of ‘Coorg Person of the Year.’ The concept first took shape in 2005 and Dr Kavery Nambisan, a novelist and medical practitioner, was selected as the first Coorg Person of the Year. The selection was made based on the basis of a poll I conducted through my news portal www.coorgtourisminfo.com. There has been no looking back since then. This book was produced with ePustaka - Ink and Weave initiative by Techfiz Inc (hIps://techfiz.com).
