HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY

HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY

"ಪೆಣ್ಣು ಪೆಣ್ಣೆಂದೇಕೆ ಬೀಳುಗಳೆವರು

ಕಣ್ಣು ಕಾಣದ ಗಾವಿಲರು?

ಪೆಣ್ಣಲ್ಲವೆ ತಮ್ಮನೆಲ್ಲ ಪಡೆದ ತಾಯಿ

ಪೆಣ್ಣಲ್ಲವೆ ಪೊರೆದವಳು"

ENGLISH = 

 "Why they malign a woman?

The ignorant ones!

Isn't it a woman,

Who gave you birth and

 brought you up!?

 - Sanchiya Honnamma (12th C. Kannada poetess, in her "HADIBADEYA DHARMA")
