‘Kannadada Santa Karim Khan Jeevana Charitre’ is written by the late D. Lingaiah<\/h2>\n

A\u00a0biography\u00a0on the late Kannada folk poet and scholar Karim Khan will provide an account of the entire 20th century, H.C. Boralingaiah, Vice-Chancellor, Kannada University, Hampi, has said.<\/p>\n

He was\u00a0speaking\u00a0at the release of Karim Khan\u2019s biography\u00a0Kannadada\u00a0SantaKarim Khan Jeevana Charitre<\/i>\u00a0at Kannada Sahitya Parishat on Monday.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boralingaiah said the story of Karim Khan, a Gandhian, was also the story of the creative success of the Gandhian path before Independence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn an era of unbridled\u00a0growth and development\u00a0post-Independence, we have forgotten Gandhi and this book can be an excuse to introspect on the path we have taken,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boralingaiah also recounted his\u00a0interaction\u00a0with Karim Khan when the two worked together at the Janapada Academy in the late 80s. \u201cDespite the criticism he came under over his appointment to head the Academy at a ripe\u00a0old age\u00a0of 83, Karim Khan worked tirelessly for three years and did foundational work in the field of folk arts, along H. L. Nage Gowda, another scholar in the field,\u201d Mr. Boralingaiah said.<\/p>\n

A.J. Sadashiva,\u00a0retired\u00a0judge,\u00a0Karnataka\u00a0High Court, who inaugurated the function, said that in his limited interaction with him, Karim Khan came across as a polymath and a great humanitarian.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a man who believed there was not much of a difference between man and God and if one strove hard, man could reach that holy state. His life was a\u00a0journey\u00a0in the\u00a0direction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The biography is written by the late D. Lingaiah. It is published by Godhooli publications.<\/p>\n
