Namma Sullia

Sullia, is a taluk in the Dakshina Kannada district of the state of Karnataka, India. It is a small town, surrounded with evergreen wooded mountains in the Western Ghats range in South India. Sullia has plantations of rubber, areca nut, coconut, cashew nut, black pepper and banana. Education centers in Sullia offer a variety of education to students from around the world. The road connecting the two major cities of Karnataka – Mysore and Mangalore – runs through Sullia.
  The culture of Sullia is a blend of Dakshina Kannada with a tinge of Kodagu culture. People speak Arebhase (gowda kannada), Tulu, Kannada, Konkani, Beary and Kodava languages.
     An historical revolution took place during 1837,  when a majority of the Gowdas from Amara Sullia, Madikeri and Bhagamandala went and fought for freedom against British. It was hence named after it as Amara Sullya Dhange.
    Suddi Bidugade is the local weekly newspaper, publishing local events in the Kannada language.
