  Kambar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kambar is one of the greatest Tamil poets.
Kambar authored the tamil version of Ramayana, or the Story of Rama, one of the oldest epics in human history.
Legend has it that the entire episode was written in one night, as Kambar procrastinated the work till the day before the deadline set by the King.

 shadow of the tiger
Kambar can say this with authority, for he is a respected poet, folklorist and playwright of Karnataka who was the brightest star of the 11 'modern folk theatre' movement in the seventies.
Kambar's works, however, are full of a joyful vigour that reflects the environment that nurtured him.
The folk idiom is essentially non upper-caste, Kambar is not part of the Sanskritised caste, and so he presents a subaltern viewpoint.

"This is not an epic in the mode of million or virgil", says the author of Chakori, the noted Kanned writer Chandrasekhar Kambar in his introduction to the novel.
Yet the new novel is experimental, it dwells on a popular folklore that is very much known to the villagers of Karnataka.
Moreover, the two translators bring alive Kambar’s thematic complexities and pare them down to a tale of gripping interest.

 The Turanian Horse Website: Colors of the Turanian Horse and its Descendants
The Turkmenian Horse often has a metallic glow to its coat, and it is a photograph of light-palomino Kambar which has been credited as having attracted many Westerners to the Akhal-Teke.
The reason that the Turanian horse glows is that this horse has a hair structure more like that of a human than of other breeds or types of horse.
This gives even more area to actually refract light through the hair, so that in cases such as that of Kambar, almost all the shine one actually sees is light refracted through the coat, rather than topshine.

 The Hindu : ... and a literary fiesta in New York
QUIZ question for the literary-minded: where in the world did many of the giants of Indian literature gather at the end of September for an Akhil Bharatiya Sahitya Sammelan inaugurated by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee?
One intervention that I found particularly striking was that of the Kannada poet, playwright and film-maker Kambar, who argued that the Indian cultural sensibility was marked by its non-linear notion of time: "time is not a controlled sequence of events in our minds, but an amalgamation of all events, past to present".
Instead of swallowing the Western notion of the integrity of a text and its sole author, we ought to celebrate the way in which Indians continually told and retold the Mahabharata, adding to it and modifying it.
