more-inThe article, “The writer’s building” (Friday Review, July 14), on how the R.K. Narayan memorial in Mysuru can be the perfect venue for literary activities, presents an idea worth pursuing. Kota Shivaram Karanth, described as the “finest novelist-activist of modern India”, has also not been forgotten. His house, ‘Balavana’, in Puttur, Dakshina Kannada district, Karnataka is now a memorial maintained by the government. I also understand that the building, in Dharwad, Karnataka, where D.R. Bendre, Jnanpith awardee in Kannada, and his friends used to meet is also a memorial.
