Savita Halappanavar nee Yadagi was a pretty Kannada woman from the Belgaum area 
of Karnataka (google “pics of Savita Halappanavar”).

Belgaum (now Belagavi) is a district town, not far from Goa on the 
Maharashtra-Karnataka border, having close links with Goa from Portuguese 
times. The population speaks both Marathi and Kannada.
