Kannada celebration: R.N. Chandrashekhar, the 'Nityotsava Kannadiga'

During the 1970s, the cinema halls on Kempegowda Road saw a surge of foreign language films. Kannada activists gathered in front of the cinema halls, chanting slogans. R.N. Chandrashekhar, among others, was noted for his involvement in these movements. He worked at the H.A.L. factory in Bengaluru and participated in Kannada agitation meetings held at places like Chickalal Bagh and Sarvapushpana Matha.
