U.R. Ananthamurthy was a prominent critic of Bhyrappa's novels. Bhyrappa has documented his debate with Ananthamurthy in Bhitti, as well as in a few essays in his book Naaneke Bareyuttene. Bhyrappa's more recent novel Aavarana brings out historical information about what Islamic rule did to ancient Indian social and cultural life. This has stirred a major controversy. There have been accusations leveled at Bhyrappa of being a Hindu fundamentalist who wants to divide society on the basis of history, an allegation which Bhyrappa anticipated and tried to refute by referring to notable sources.[16] Ananthamurthy criticized Bhyrappa and his works, calling Aavarana "dangerous". Ananthamurthy accused Bhyrappa of being more of a debater than a storyteller. "He doesn't know what Hindu religion stands for" and "does not know how to write novels".[17] However Bhyrappa claims that the novel was result of his search for truth and there was no ulterior motive behind the novel. He urged critics to study the reference books mentioned in the novel before arriving at any conclusion about it.[18]
Apt summary.. Bravo.
Book is a must read. Anyone with a logical mind set and a good psychological quotient will agree with the horror we live when we accept our history as our books teach us without a question
I belong to the generation of English educated Kannadigas who read Kannada novels very rarely (or never). I stumbled upon a hotly debated book 'Aavarana' by SL Bhyrappa while following an altercation on Twitter. I felt like reading the book considering the amount praise it was receiving. Once I started reading this book, it sucked me into its tale because of the depth of its characters. The sheer amount of research done by the author and its relevance to current debate on distortion of history by left leaning academia, cleansing of Islamic atrocities from history text books and conversions of Hindu women to Islam in Kerala makes it one of the most important novels of our time.
After her Hampi tour, Raziya finds out about the death of her father. She visits her village for his last rites. She is surprised to see a huge stack of books that his father had acquired during the 28 years after she had left her home. After skimming some of the notes left by her father, she is inspired to read all his books. After her deep study and tour, she realises that the version of history sold by the Marxist ecosystem led by Prof Shastri and his ilk are filled with irreconcilable lies.
The process of unlearning her misconceptions about history, and learning about the barbaric acts of Muslim rulers in the past occupies the rest of the story. The story of Raziya/ Lakshmi is relatable to millennials who have been denied access to information, thanks to the secularised textbooks that seek to avoid atrocities of Muslim invaders from history books. With the spread of internet and social media, this generation is learning about the history that covered up by the establishment for ideological and political gains. A one-sided narrative is strongly facing legitimate questions and stiff opposition from the generation that has been fed with distorted facts, opinions and history.
The left proudly proclaims that there are no real scholars in India's right leaning pantheon of thinker. In the final chapter, the book highlights as many as 126 books on history that could dispel myths sold to Indians about Indian history and the atrocities of its Muslim rulers. Navaratna Rajaram (Nationalism and Distortions of Indian History), Harsh Narain (Jaziya and the Spread of Islam) , Koenraad Elst (Ayodhya and After), Jadunath Sarkar (A short history of Aurangzib) , Sitaram Goel (Hindu Temples - What happened to them) and several other books find mention as a part of Narsimhe Gowda's collection that falls into Lakshmi's hands.
Unlike many philosophy-based books that are poetic in style (Kahlil Gibran comes immediately to mind), the rendition of thoughts is very cut & dry. While cerebral, these parts of the novel are not fun to read.
I would tell Mr.URA to just shut up and be quite, S.L.Byrappa is always a perfectionist what ever he writes in his novel he would do so much of research and then decides to write in his novels, for example vamshavruksha one of the best novel of Byrappa where in he has given so much of information about ajanta caves, where in those informations has not been mentioned i any history books, so about his writing skills there are no words to comment on it reason is he thinks about every thing so deeply and with all aspects and i can give you one more example of novel jalapatha where in he has mentioned about the IVF ( In vitro fertilisation) techniques in 1970.
so i would give suggestion to ura not to utter any word about byrappa and sit at home quitely
mr. u.r ananta murthy do not know any thing.. he is a mad .. he dont have any rights to comment on d great bhyrappa. bhyrappa is a famous writer. lakhs n lakhs of people will read his books. bcoz d topics inside d text is very much truth.
where as ananta murthy books is being put to fire for cooking.he is a not at all a hindu.. he should change his name. i think he does not even know d meaning of his name itself..
poor fellow. we must pity for calling him an intellectual. he is jealous about great bhyrappa for his fame. anantha murthy will never accept d truth bcoz he is a big politician. d general rule for such politicians is lying.
Yes, The Novel is True and so are the above words of Mr.Mallik. Dr.Bhyrappa search for truth, research on truth and the expression of the facts are the reasons for the great success of this book and many other of his books.
There is NO writer like him today. The rest who critisize him are NOT writers anyway.
The celebrated author, who was recently awarded the Padma Shri, was the guest at the inaugural edition of Loksatta Gappa, held on April 2 in a hotel in Worli. At the event, Bhyrappa spoke on books, culture and philosophy and how they connect with his own life and work.
