Girish
Karnad, Indian playwright, author, actor, and film director whose movies and
plays, written largely in Kannada, explore the present by way of the past.
After graduating from Karnataka University in 1958, Karnad studied philosophy,
politics, and economics as a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford. He
wrote his first play, the critically acclaimed Yayati, while still at Oxford.
Centred on the story of a mythological king, the play established Karnad’s use
of the themes of history and mythology that would inform his work over the
following decades. Karnad’s next play, Tughlaq, tells the story of the 14th-
century sultan Muhammad ibn Tughlaq and remains among the best known of his
work.
After
knowing the facts about Karnad as well as reding varioua newspaper articles on
his recent demise, I can say that he was a ‘Crackpot’. A crackpot is an
eccentric person especially the one who has a list of bizarre or unusual ideas.
Though the word first seems to be addressed in a very derogatory manner, we have
intenstinally used the word in a complimentary sense.
Girish Karnad’s
intentions of showing them killed by Tipu Sultan was only a prediction of the
Hindus who want to perach a lesson to Hindu to reflect the society, that was
perhaps mirroring at that time.
Girish
Karnad was an Indian then why he was consummate hater of Hindu and by being citizen
one should ask , what is his rights about true or false. But we can sy through
mentioning in Sandip Balakrishna’s “dharma.dispatch.in”
he was supporting such politicians and leaders to make his views to be
supported.
Many topics
of his life and many points of his speech still it is in controversy.
