Jaya Bhārata Jananiya Tanujāte, Jaya Hē Karnāṭaka Māte (pronounced [Jaya bha:rata jananiya tanuja:te, jaya he: karna:ʈaka ma:te]; lit. 'Victory to you Mother Karnataka, The Daughter of Mother India!') is a Kannada-language poem composed by Kuvempu. The poem was officially declared the state anthem of the Indian state of Karnataka in 2004.
The poem envisages a Karnataka that recognises its position in the comity of Indian states, believes in peaceful co-existence with her sisters, but at the same time maintains her self-respect and dignity from a position of confidence and strength rather than insecurity and fear.
