Kundapur, Aug 14: "Literature has the responsibility of showing the disease of the society to the society," said Dr H S Anupama.

She was speaking at the Dr H Shantaram awards ceremony held at the Bhandarkar’s college and she also added about the ‘kathe emba eriva e alagu’ a collection of stories by Dr H Shantaram literature award winner Manjunathalatha.

"A writer imagines the pain and sufferings of others as his own and experiences them while writing. Such feelings and desperation is prominent in the stories written by Manjunathalatha.  The female characters in the eleven stories of the collection successfully portray their importance," she said.

"The characters of the madwoman, prostitute and 'avva' in the stories show the strength of a woman. The writer has attempted to drive away evil from the society and make it shine," she said.

"Writings do not end just on paper.  Besides beauty, the writings should search for truth.  It is only when an author opens all his five senses, will he be able to touch the pain in the society.  Literature should revolutionize and awaken those who are in slumber.  An author should be able to keep his pain and sufferings aside and touch the pulse of the society by realizing his responsibility," she added.

Manjunathalatha spoke and praised the grandeur of literature in the region. 

Dr H Shantaram, administrative officer of Academy of general education, Manipal presided over the meeting.  Lecturers Ranjith Shetty and Aruna S. conducted the programme.

Dr N P Narayana Shetty, principal of the degree college and G M Gonda, principal of pre university college were present on the occasion.

Koni Shivananda Karanth welcomed. Convenor of awards committee professor Rekha gave a key note address.
