DV Gundappa: The man who challenged baksheesh for journalists is being remembered in 9 volumes

For Kannadigas, Mankuthimmana Kagga, pulsating with DVG’s philosophises, holds the key to a balanced life, besides advocating oneness with people around. While people who know Kannada have benefitted from the writings of DV Gundappa, his works have remained confined to Karnataka because his English writings, richer in volume, could never be formally and systematically taken to the audience. A concerted effort has now however been made in the direction. Selected Writings of DV Gundappa, a nine-volume collection has been brought out by the seven-decade-old Gokhale Institute of Public Affairs. Read on to know what the nine volumes say about the man with an unwavering commitment to his principles.
