Writer and Dean of School of Humanities and Languages at Central University of Karnataka Vikram Visaji has held that the experiences of all walks of life should reflect in literature to keep the language growing.
“Kannada as a language is continuously growing because the experiences of all walks of life are getting reflected in it. Due to great writers like Kuvempu, Shivaram Karanth, Basavaraj Kattimani and Devanuru Mahadeva, who have expressed their unique experiences in their creative writings, Kannada is enriched. If the same set of people from the same era are writing about the same things, the language faces stagnation. If a creative work is grasped by different people differently, it is the strength of the work,” Mr. Visaji said.
He was speaking at an interaction on the novel, Ghandruk, authored by Satish Chapparike, at Sapna Book House in Kalaburagi on Monday.
