What does Glucose, Mysore Pak, Shahruk Khan, Supreme Court, Dollar and Coffee have in common? They are names. Yes, names of children of Hakki Pikki tribe of Karnataka. Choosing a name is definitely a hard task to accomplish but these people have made it fun by introducing this bizarre tradition of naming children after famous people or things. This tradition started 15 years ago.

The Hakki Pikki tribe are ‘bird catchers’ in Kannada. They were semi-nomadic hunters. They were rehabilitated in 1970s when bird hunting was banned. They do not follow any particular religion and speak a mix of 14 dialects. These names have their own stories. Like Mysore Pak was named so because the sweet fascinated his parents. People make passports and travel with the world with these names.
