K.V. Subbanna No More | |
(via email from Amma) Just heard that K.V. Subbanna, the super intellectual from Karnataka, passed away. Subbanna was a pioneer in theater movement, a dramatist, a publisher, and a philosopher. He was honored with the Ramon Magsaysay award in 1991. On a personal connection, he was the publisher of my father's book 'Na Rajasthanadalli', and a family friend. I mourn his passing. A true genius, a compassionate radical who understood the role of community and its relationship to the individual. Amma said via telephone: Subbanna wrote such fantastic tributes to unsung heroes like Bappa and Dr. Kusuma Sorab ("The Lady Who Gave Speach to the Silence of Sharavati"). Now who will sing Subbanna's glory?
