Kamat, A Self Role Model 

by Sha. Mum. Krishnaraya

Quote Begin

Kamat showed us to what extent a writer can lead a life of ideals.  When we see writers seeking publicity, honors, and recognition, we realize the height of Kamat's greatness. With his simple living, deep thinking, deep learning, honesty, and high ideologies, Kamat became a role model on to himself.
