Malagati prominent dalit writer in Kannada : CPK
Mysor,Oct 29, DHNS:

Litterateur C P Krishnakumar on Saturday lauded Aravind Malagati for
having created a niche of his own as one of the prominent dalit
writers in Kannada.

Writers CPK, Dejagow, Aravind Malagati, Dharanidevi Malagati and C
Naganna in Mysore on Saturday. Dh Photo He was speaking at an
interaction programme on the works of Aravind Malagathi organised
jointly by Kuvempu Vidyavardhaka Trust and Kuvempu Vidya Parishat at
Vivekananda PU College in Jayalakshmipuram here.

Continuing C P Krishna Kumar who is popular as CPK said- there is no
need to favour Malagati just because he is a dalit. However, what
endears him to all is his influential personality where simplicity
reign above all. Also known for his honesty, Malagathi still remains
the same humble man though he has to his credit over 70 works. "I
really wonder, what makes Malagathi remain a man he is, when the
fledglings who will be having one or two works to their credit never
forget to hog limelight", said CPK.

Malagati's feat is a source of inspiration and 'Gourment brahmana' a
book by Malagathi again is being adapted into a film by the same name.
He jocularly said- Malagati couple should have played the lead role in
the movie.

Aravind Malagati recalled that another noted litterateur M M Kalburgi
was lauding him was 'adopted son of Mysore'. Dejagow has developed the
habit of encouraging others and so came the today's occasion (about
the programme). My wife Dharanidevi Malagati (Dy SP) is writing a book
in Bhaminishatpadi. She has already completed 1600 poems and the book
will be hitting stands soon.

Former University of Mysore vice chancellor Dejagow said the programme
was organised only because Aravind Malagati was a good writer, not
because he was a dalit. He said that literature should spread across
all the nook and corners of the State as it will also help fight
corruption. All the litterateurs and jnanpit awardees should raise
their voice for Kannada language and its status.
