His column 'Bettale Jagattu' is one of the much popular columns in that news paper. The column also gets co-published in the ThatsKannada.com portal. - KNM Talk 20:15, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Some reliable, intellectually independent source which verifies the claim that he's the most popular columnist of that newspaper, would be a start. Primary sources, like newspaper columns the subject has published himself, do nothing to help prove notability. cab (talk) 19:30, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
