Rao Bahadur Ari Gowder

Once in way, in the history of a community, there comes a leader, who becomes a visionary and leads his people by example. Such, was a leader who would have been 118 yrs 0n 4 Dec 2011.
That is Rao Bahadur Hubbathalai Bellie Gowder ARI GOWDER. Much has been written about this great leader who lead the INDIAN CONTIGENT to world scouts jamboree in Hungary in 1932 and you can read all about Ari Gowder here. 

Even after 40 years after his death in 1971, Badagas remember him with love and respect. He made us feel and say 'Proud to be Badagas' and because of his insistence that we must educate our children, especially girls, we are able to hold our heads high today! Bowing our heads in silent reverence for all that he had done to our community…
