People of Karnataka are generally accommodating and peace-loving, was wondering why this might have been the case and eventually seem to have made a connection. Do look at the following video.
For those who haven't got the jist of the video, here is a short summary:
"A cow on its way returning home is stopped by a tiger. It negotiates its exit with the promise that it would return to be eaten by the tiger - once it feeds its calf. It indeed does as promised. The tiger feels guilty of having though of killing such a truthful being and spares the cow."
This song was one which lingered pretty early in my ears - made part of the curriculum under the syllabus recommended by the Karnataka State. I think this was part of the syllabus in 3rd Standard or so... and had been so for over 25 years I guess!
The message of belief in truth, being non-violent, doing your duty with atmost faith etc are all embedded in it.
