Kannada Novel
This article was written by CKN for the felicitation book called ‘Siddhahasta’ to honour the famous Kannada writer Siddhavanahalli Krishnasharma. During 1946-47, CKN was the editor and publisher of the monthly magazine “Vani”. Every month, Krishnasharma used to write an article for this magazine under his pen name ‘Kannada KaNa’.
