Karnataka was divided into four parts - Mysore State, Mumbai Karnataka, Hyderabad Karnataka and Madras Karnataka. In all these parts, Kannada speakers are recognized. The process of adding Karnataka-majority areas to Karnataka has gone through the process. The Kannada states of the surrounding states were incorporated into Karnataka. Finally, in 1956, Karnataka was unified. Kannada Rajyotsavam has also started! The state's name was Mysore. This is because the first creation of Karnataka was based on the Mysore State. The state of Mysore was renamed Karnataka in 1973.
