DVG wrote his play, "Mahachunavane" (General Elections) in 1965. It depicts an unflattering picture of the first general elections in India held in 1951-52. There is a justified need for revisiting and re-analysing this play today.
In the concluding episode, we garner significant insights into the downfall of the Indian political life and public discourse from DVG's letters to B.D. Jatti and G.B. Pant.
In this episode, DVG sketches an unflattering picture of the servility of the State Congress Ministers to the dictatorial High Command.
In January 1959, DVG wrote two acerbic letters to the then Mysore Chief Minister B.D. Jatti and sent its copies to the Home Minister, G.B. Pant. It triggered a chain of bureaucratic correspondence between Delhi and Bangalore. The episode offers brilliant and eye-opening insights into recent history.
This is the full text of a letter that DVG wrote in 1971 to a disconcerted young college student seeking advice on entering public life.
