Karantha award conferred on Vittal Master

October 11, 2011

Mangalore, October 11: ''Why is it so that no Indian after Rabindranath Tagore could get the Nobel Award?''


This thought was sown into the minds of the audience during 110th birth anniversary of K Shivaram Karanth by litterateur Prof U B Upadhyaya. The celebration was organised by Kannada Sahithya Parishat and Kalkura Prathishtana and the programme was inaugurated by litterateur couple Prof U B Upadhyaya and Susheela Upadhyaya.

Addressing the gathering, Prof Upadhyaya said that it is worth pondering as to why great writers like Shivaram Karanth, Kuvempu, Masti Venkatesh Iyengar did not make it to the international laurel.“In a way we are responsible for this. We should have taken the responsibility of translating the great works of these writers and spreading their fragrance across the Indian boundary,” he said adding that though a Translation Academy has been started, it should try and function as Translation and Analysis Academy to take the great works of Indian writers to another level.Presiding over the programme, District-in-Charge Minister Krishna J Palemar said that calling Karanth a writer would be wrong because he tried his hands on almost very aspect of art, from films to Yakshagana.

“His contribution to Yakshagana is something unforgettable. He is the true patron of Yakshagana,” said Palemar.

This year's 'Karantha Prashashti' was conferred on veteran dance choreographer Vittal Master.

Kannada Sahithya Parishath District President Pradeep Kumar Kalkura, Mangalore City Corporation Commissioner Dr Harish, Litterateur Susheela Upadhyaya, Academician Prof Kota Ramakrishna Hande among others were present.

However, a few markets in Mangaluru still had queues in front of vegetable shops on Wednesday.

Vegetable shops and markets in Mallikatte, Kadri, Bejai-Kapikad, Urwastore, Mannagudda and Carstreet areas were crowded with people violating social distancing norms due to the coronavirus crisis.
