Writer and trade union leader K.S. Sharma has emphasised the need for literature that creates awareness among people about social maladies and inspires them to fight such evils and exploitation.
Delivering his speech as the Sammelan Sarvadhyaksha at the 16th Dharwad Zilla Kannada Sahitya Sammelan in Dharwad on Wednesday, Prof. Sharma minced no words while expressing displeasure over those writers who are divided on the basis of caste and class.
He said that writers will be betraying society they live in if they produce literature that compliments and promotes exploitation and exploiters.
