Girish Karnad.

Girish Karnad was an Indian actor, film director, Kannada writer, playwright and a Rhodes Scholar, who predominantly worked in South Indian cinema and Bollywood. He was died this year. 



When we talk about Girish Karnad We found that he has lived very controversial life. His statement sometimes become so controversial.

When we see this, the statement of Harold Pinter in his Nobel speech (2005) looks very appreciate.

"There are no hard distinction between what is real and what is unreal nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false; it can be both."

As writer we found one thing is true but as citizen the same thing must be wrong. It is our duty to found the truth.

Here in this blog I try to look up to some write-ups written as obituary on the demise of Girish karnad when he passed away on 10th June 2019.

When we talk about Girish karnad We see that he was famous for his literary contribution but in part of his political career he was more critic.


Famous writer Shri Sandeep Balakrishnan in his article which is published in Dharmadispach in this he describe Karnad as 


" Outstanding political pamphleteer, artful dodger, fine actor,a mediocre director and a terrible play wright." 

He also mentions that karnad drew a parallel between Tughlaq and Jawaharlal Nehru by characterizing both misunderstood Geniuses who were denied their rightful place in history by fascist force of orthodox and regressive Brahmanism. He also mentioned Tipuvina Kanasugalu ( The dream of Tipusultan) was also used peddle the anti-Hindu propaganda.

Apart from this there are also some controversy around him which we see in the Saurabh Saah's FB post. In his post he talk about the controversy like; he helped Arundhati Roy in the case of Afzal Guru. Ha also in favor of the changing the name of Banglore Airport he wanted that the name of airport must on Tipusultan. He was also in favor of kaniya Kumar. And he was also in favor of beef.

But when we are leaving in India which is secular country, in which has right to speak, think whatever one wants to. In this kind of country to judge someone by what he speak or  whom he supports will be the wrong judgment.

This are some views which are against  Karnad. Further I will talk about some views which are in favour.

Karnad was doggedly defended to very end and play reflect this  unbendingly liberal world view that arguably need never to compensate for his privilege gaze, because it was both conscientious and well informed.

The second thing we found that he draws structurally from folk from like Yanshangana. But the play is an ironic presentation of Meta theater that leads itself to complex interpretation.

We also see that he was not only accomplished actor and celebrated playwright but also strong public voice. Who decried Fundamentalism mad defended the freedom of expression.

Poem : The Eagel

The poem The Eagle is written by Lord Tennyson. He was a English poet often regarded as  he chief representative of the Victorian age in  poetry. He was also a poet laureate during the time of 1850 to 1892. This is a lyric poem. The Eagle is brief but vivid glimpse into the world of this powerful bird. As with the best poet's work, this short poem display a strong musical sense. Summery :  The poet says about the eagle in this poem. This is one of the masterpiece by Lord Tennyson. It clasps things very strongly. He says on the charge with the strong clasps of crooked hands. He clasps the crave with crooked hands. He sats on a height so that it seems to  the poet as if he is nearer to the sun. The land is man less. He takes rounding the sky. Poet say that he sets on height on that height sea is like wrinkled. When he says on a mountain walls he saw all things with are on land. When he saw his food he come their as fast as thunderbolt and pick his food. ...

પ્રેમ કે આદત

Payar hua ikrar hua hai Pyar sai fir kyu darta hai Kahta hai dil rasta mushkil Malum nahi kaha hai manzil. આ ગીત મે ઍટલે નથી લખ્યું કે મને પ્રેમ થયો છે. સાચે કવ તો મને પ્રેમ થય જ ના શકે. પણ આજ આ ગીત સભડ્યું એટલે અમુક વિચાર આવ્યા એટલે લખ્યું. આમતો આ સોંગ જ એક ટ્રેડ માર્ક છે. જ્યારે કોઈ પણ આ સોંગ સાંભળે એટલે જો એને પ્રેમ થયો હોય તો એના પ્રેમી કે પ્રેમિકા ની યાદ આવી જ જાય. પણ હું જ્યારે પણ આ સોંગ સાંભળું ત્યારે મને સવાલ થાય કે શું પ્રેમ કરવો અને પછી એનો એકરાર કરવો સરળ હોતો હશે ?  અને જો ખબર જ છે કે આ બધી વસ્તુઓ ખુબ અઘરી છે તો લોકો આમાં ફસાતા કેમ હસે ? પછી આગળ સોંગ માં એવું કે છે, કે જો પ્રિય પાત્રો નો સાથ છૂટી જશે તો ચાંદ નહિ ચમકે. એવું થોડી હોય કોઈ એક વ્યક્તિ ના આપડા જીવન માંથી જતા રેહવાથી કઈ આટલો બધો ફરક  થોડી પડતો હશે. મારા મતે જોવા જાવ તો આ બધી એક આદત ની વાત છે. તમને કોઈ ના હસવાની, કોઈના બોલવાની, કોઈની ચિંતા કરવાની આદત પડી ગઈ હોય અને અમુક કિસ્સામાં કોઈના ઝગાડવાની પણ આદત પડી જતી હોય છે. બસ આટલું જ હોય. સમય ની સાથે આપડે આપના રૂટીન માં ગોઢવાત જઈએ અને બધું ભૂલ...
