Girish Raghunath Karnad, the Karnataka film actor, director, writer, and playwright died 10 June 2019 at the age of 81 due to multiple organ failure. After his death so many controversy happen but not more shown by journalist and which we know controversy that may be real or some fact also. Because we are living in post truth area so we have difficult to justify what is truth and what is false. Karnad was great critic and always criticized other Indian writer like he didn’t like Rabindranath Tagore drama so he easily said as critic Tagore’s drama like boring.One of the famous Journalist Shri Sandeep Balakrishna in his article published in Dharmadispach. Sandeep characterizes Girish Karnad as an “outstanding political pamphleteer, artful dodger, fine actor, a mediocre director, and a terrible playwright

Hindu hatred controversy –

One of journalist said that Girish Karnad had brought shame to his country through his distortion of Hindu mythology, Indian history, culture, and traditions. Moreover, this public discourse has been completely centered around Girish’s personal affiliations, and not due to some social cause. It boggles one’s mind when realized that in an effort to fulfill his ambitions, Girish Karnad has indoctrinated much hatred for the Hindus and has downright discriminated against their rights and practices, under the label of ‘secularism’.On a related note, Tipuvina Kanasugalu is Karnad’s second attempt at glorifying Islamic barbarians and mass-murderers of Hindus as freedom fighters and misunderstood geniuses. The first was his “play,” Tughlaq, which bestowed sainthood upon the genocidal Muslim bigot, the madman Mohammad Bin Tughlaq. Outwardly, the “play” was supposedly based on this historical character but it is evident that Karnad drew a parallel between Tughlaq and Jawaharlal Nehru by characterizing both as misunderstood geniuses who were denied their rightful place in history by the fascist forces of orthodox and regressive Brahmanism.
The political pamphlet in the name of Tipuvina Kanasugalu was actually is in furtherance to the Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s communal agenda. Girish Karnad and Siddaramaiah had collectively taken several efforts to peddle their anti-Hindi hate in the state.So here One of the controversy is Karnad was Hindu hatred man according to his play Tughalaq because in this play he portrait Muslim is protagonist and this character killed so many Hindus. According to me we can not see people without attached with religious if any famous person some of ideas like different to compare other so that person called hater of majority. But it is not affairs for anyone because everyone has own choice.
