The Fire and the Rain
- Girish Karnad
Question- Life and work of Grish Karnad.
Answer -
Background : One of the foremost dramatists in India, Grish Karnad was born on May 19, 1938 in Matheran (Maharashtra). A multi-faceted personality, Karnad has earned international praise as a playwright, poet, actor, director, critic and translator. A Konkani by birth, his initial schooling was in Marathi. As a young man studying at Karnatka University, Dharwar, where he earned a bachelor's degree in Mathematics and staistics in 1958, Karnad dreamed of earning international literary fame, but he thought he would do so by writing in English.
Education : Upon graduation, Karnad went to England and studied at Oxford where he earned a Rhodes Scholarship and went on to receive a master's degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. He would eventually the international fame he had dreamed of, but not for his English poetry. Instead, Karnad would earn his reputation through decades of consistent literary output on his native soil.
Career : After his return to India, Karnad worked with the Oxford University press at Chennai. He left the job in 1970 to become a full-time writer. Even before that, his very first play, 'Yayati' written in Kannada, and not his mother tongue Konkani, written in 1961, was a hit. The play, which chronicles the adventures of mythical characters from the Mahabharata, was an instant success and was immediately translated into several Indian languages.
"Tughlaq, Karnad's second play written in 1964, is perhaps his best known work. 'Hayavadana' is based on Transposed Heads, a story by Thomas Mann. Among his other well-known works are Naga-Mandala, Taledanda and the latest Odakalu Bimba (A Heap of Broken Image), inspired from T.S. Eliot's poem, "The Wasteland'.
According to K.R.S. Iyengar, " In all his three plays (Yayati, Tughlaq and Hayawadana) be the theme, historical, mythical or legendary - Karnad's approach is modern, and he deploys the conventions and motifs of folk art like masks and curtains to project a world of intentions, uncertainities and unpredictable denouements." And all his plays are conspicious for the deft employment of irony and crisp dialogue.
Awards and Honours : Karnad's awards includes the Mysore State Award for Yayati (1962), the Government of Mysore Rajyotsava Award (1970), President's Gold Medal for the Best Indian film for 'Samskara' (1970), the Homi Bhabha Fellowship for creative work in folk theatre (1970-72), the Sangeet Natak Akademi (National Academy of the Performing Arts) Award for playwriting (1972), the Kamaladevi Award of the Bharatiya Natya Sangh for the Best Indian Play of the year for Hayavadana (1972), The National Award for Excellence in Direction for Vamsha Vriksha (Shared with B.V.
