Girish karnad: 

Born : 19 may 1938

Died : 10 June 2019

Girish Karnad  was an Indian actor, film director, Kannada writer, playwright and a Rhodes Scholar, who predominantly worked in South Indian cinema and Bollywood. His rise as a playwright in the 1960s, marked the coming of age of modern Indian playwriting in Kannada, just as Badal Sarkar did in Bengali, Vijay Tendulkar in Marathi, and Mohan Rakesh in Hindi. He was a recipient of the 1998 Jnanpith Award, the highest literary honour conferred in India.

Notable Work:

• Hayavadana

• Tughlaq

• Yayati

• Anju Mallige

Awarded:

• Central Sangiteeth Natak Academy      Award for his play Hayavadana

• Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay Award      in 1978.

• Samaskara film award

• Gnanpith Award

Girish Karnad, who died at the age of 81, was India's leading playwright, a successful film director and popular actor, appearing in Arthouse films as well as hit Bollywood movies like Ek Tha Tiger.

At the Tata Literary Festival in Mumbai in 2012, Karnad was invited to speak about "his life in the theater" in an hour long session. Instead of talking about the subject, for "reaction to Indian Muslims." Took the opportunity to hit Naipaul. Naipaul was previously awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the organizers of the festival. Karnad also criticized the organizers for honoring Naipaul.

The audience gathered to hear Karnad's speech gave mixed reactions to the speech. Some, like organizer Anil Dharker, made an ineffective attempt to lead the speech to less controversial waters. Others were delighted by this episode, and some commented on the research and logic that went into the speech.

In November 2015, during the celebration of the birth anniversary of 18th-century Muslim ruler Tipu Sultan, Karnad said that the Bangalore International Airport should be named Tipu Sultan instead of Campi Gouda. This made many people swoon. The next day, Karnad apologized.

  Remember that Karnad was known for his acting role in India's passion for cinema, but it is for his plays, in which he often used myths, folklore and historical historical events to examine the cultural, economic and social change in post-independence India. Strongly influenced by philosopher Krishnamurti, who questioned the traditional Indian allegiance to caste, religion and duty, Karnad worked on the premise that the individual is the creator of his own existence - not subject to the Hindu notions of fate and karma.
