They used to speak Telugu.Fourth in succession from Rana Bhairave Gowda, founder of the dynasty of Avanti Nadu Prabhus and great grandson of Jaya Gowda, who established separate dynasty, the famous Yelahanka Nadu Prabhus, Kempe Gowda I ruled for 46 years commencing his reign from 1513. Jaya Gowda accepted the sovergnity of the Vijayanagar emperor.There were the Gangadicara Gowdas of other parts of Karnataka.The name Gangadicara,which is derived from the word Gangawadi-kara,meaning the inhabitant of Gangawadi is a relic of Ganga Rule and has since survived in this part of Karnataka.However the MorasuVokkalu sect got assimilated with the other gowdas of Karnataka who are now called Vokkaligas.

Today the Vokkaliga community embraces within its fold the Morasu Vokkaligas, the Gangadicara Vokkaligas,Reddy Vokkaligas,Kunchitiga Vokkaligas,Hallikaru Vokkaligas and so on.Kempe Gowda was a great ruler,was concerned in the welfare of his subjects and spent lavishly in the construction of tanks,agraharas,temples and forts.
