'''Bandaya movement''' is a progressive [rebel] literary movement in [[Kannada]] started by [[D. R. Nagaraj]] and [[Shudra Shrinivas]] in 1974. It promoted socially-committed literature and sought to make poetry a weapon against social and economic injustice. "Let poetry be a sword! The dear friend who responds to the pain of people!" ["''Khadgavaagali kavya! Janara novige midiva pranamitra!''"], was the slogan for the movement coined by D.R. Nagaraj.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Vajpeyi|first1=Ananya|title="Let Poetry Be a Sword!"|url=http://www.caravanmagazine.in/books/%E2%80%9Clet-poetry-be-sword%E2%80%9D|access-date=27 September 2015|work=The Caravan|date=1 January 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150928052511/http://www.caravanmagazine.in/books/%E2%80%9Clet-poetry-be-sword%E2%80%9D|archive-date=28 September 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> <br />
