General News - IIAS Newsletter Online By ROBERT J. When one surveys Kannada literature since 1947, one cannot fail to notice that the world beyond Karnataka's borders scarcely plays a concrete role (except of course in the travelogue, which is a highly productive form in Kannada literature). Besides having the second oldest literature among the living languages of South Asia, Kannada has received the most prestigious all-India literary award, the Jnanpith Award, more times than any other language; but the rest of the world is very slow in according Kannada and Karnataka the recognition they are increasingly receiving in India. India north of Karnataka tends to be mentioned with disdain or indifference, if it is mentioned at all, and the only northern personalities who figure in Kannada literature tend to be those who have acquired an almost mythic, all-Indian aura, like Mahatma Gandhi, Vivekananda, and Aurobindo. iias.leidenuniv.nl /iiasn/21/theme/21T4.html   (615 words)

Equally eloquent was the tribute to NS by C.V. Gopinath, an eminent scholar from Karnataka who, choosing to speak in Sanskrit, described him as "Pandit Shiromani" and a "KarmaYogi" dedicated selflessly to the service of knowledge. No systematic study of the Kashmiri school of art has been attempted so far and no one has ventured to prepare an album of these miniatures, notwithstanding their importance in the overall context of the history of Indian art, the Kangra and Pahari styles being but offshoots of this precious school of art. unmesh.com /jan98.html   (769 words)
