artistMangalore, November 13: Modern Kannada literature is too contemporary and relevant only to this period, unlike 'Champu Kavya' which had a larger, in depth approach. It is for this reason 'Champu Kavya is considered relevant till date, said well-known critic, Yakshagana artiste Dr K Keshav Sharma.

Speaking about 'Pracheena Kannada Sahitya: Sangarsha Mathu Samarasya'- particularly on 'Prabhutvadondige Mukamuki (Champu Sahitya') at Rathnakaravarni stage of Pandit Bhimsen Joshi auditorium of Vidyagiri Shrimati Sundari Anand Alva premises, Keshav Sharma said that, 'Champu' kavya, which goes back to 10th century is a mixture of prose and poetry and is a predominant style in Kannada literature. This 'Champu Kavya has laid foundation for many different ways of writing in Kannada,” he said.

“Champu Kavya is different from literary works produced by the literary legend Pampa. The writings of Pampa and Ranna are short-lived, but the purview of Champoo Kavya is wider. Here prose is used to explain the 'Kriye' (happenings) and poetry is used for 'Varnane' (Narration). It explains the inner conflict of a person,”Keshav Sharma said explaining the speciality of the literary form with the example of writings on Bharatha and Bhahubali.

“According to Champu Kavya, there existed 'Dharma' (religion) but this Dharma had no rules. The ruler followed his 'dharma' and the subjects were free to follow their own beliefs,” he added.

Researcher Dr B Janardhan Bhat said that, in Kannada prose literature was started by Jain institutions. They played a major role in enhancing Kannada literature.

Their major works are on Indian mythology which attracted more Kannada readers.

'Aadipurana' of Pampa was a translation of Jinabhadhra Acharya's 'Aadipurana'.

Sammelana President Litterateur Nadoja M M Kalburgi summurised the session and said that, in past there were only two religions; Jain and Vaidika.

Some great personalities of Kartanaka history like Atthimabbe were not Jains by caste but were Jains by religion. It is believed that the younger sister of Attimabbe followed 'Sathi Sahagamana' (a system where woman jumps into the funeral pyre of her husband). “We have to update our knowledge by reading the latest findings about our literature and history”, he suggested.

Bengaluru, May 4: Former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Sunday said that the health of the migrants who have been allowed to move, should not be jeopardized and appropriate tests must be conducted.

"The task was to send the workers to their places. However, their health should not be jeopardized. This decision made for their benefit should not be a travesty for them. There will also be physical interference on the buses and appropriate tests must be done," said Kumaraswamy.

"The lockdown, which was implemented without any prerequisites, is now loosened without warning. The state government, which has allowed migrant workers to move to the city, has mobilized large numbers of people. By this, the government is playing with their health," he added.

He continued saying that the government should not lose out on an unscientific move that resulted in the loss of thousands of crores of rupees from a custodial lockdown.

"Workers and villages must be sober. The government must take all necessary precautions in this regard," he added.
