Geeta Nagbhushan
The introduction of Geeta Nagbhushan, the first woman writer to win the Sahitya Akademi Award in Kannada, is somewhat inconsistent with feminist insistence! Seeing the society living happily with such discrepancies, she started writing . Otherwise, she was also known as 'the first well-educated girl to work in Gulbagra's district collector's office' around 1960! She passed away recently, leaving behind her identity as one of the most important feminist and Dalit writers in Kannada literature.
Instead of telling the story of one of the heroines in the novels 'Avva Mattu Itar Kathegalu' or 'Avarakathe', 'Baduku', he tried to focus on women's life. Gita's father let the girl learn. Born in Gulbagri (now Kalburgi) in 1942 and after breaking up his first marriage, he took a job and became a BA. Those who have had interracial love marriages with Nagbhushan at that time will probably be considered as the 'only person'! But they are aware that these individualistic adjectives are incorrect.
After the first novel was published in 1968, he wrote a total of 27 novels, 50 short stories and 12 plays (plays are also translated). Among them, the novel 'Hussey Mans Mattu Hadgalu' was published in the magazine 'Tarang' and later the film 'Hennin Kugu' was also published on it. At the end of the novel, Lachchi, who is persecuted by Kulkanarya, leaves him in the water as he has a son and says, 'If she had a daughter, she would have been raised'! In 'Baduku', the novel, which portrays the lives of many working class people, won the Sahitya Akademi Award (2004).
But during her aspirations, Gita saw a lot of discrimination between 'not Mysore, not Gulbagra - not men, not women - not luxury, not poor, not upper caste'. In 1998, he received the 'Rajyotsav Prasasti' award. He went on to earn a Ph.D. In 2016, Karnataka Sahitya Akademi published a 210 page book titled 'Vyakti aani Sahitya'. Pramila Madhav), Gulbarga and Hampi Universities awarded honorary doctorates. Bha. He also became the President of Kannada Sahitya Sammelan. He did a great job of reaching out to the Kannada readers in these Yashapalyad settlements, to the 'Aidana' there.
