Novelist and activist Basavaraj Kattimani responded to issues and challenges of his time through his writing, said Nataraj Huliyar, Professor of English.
He spoke after inaugurating a one-day seminar on noted novelist Basavaraj Kattimani in Shivamogga on Friday, February 9.
Kattimani was actively involved in the freedom struggle. He was imprisoned for his active participation in the national movement. “He wrote novels centered on freedom struggle and through that, he introduced nationalism to his readers. Similarly, he introduced communism as well to his readers through his works,” he said.
