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 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.
In this episode, DVG gives us a firsthand account of the tyrannical growth of the Congress High Command culture almost immediately after independence.
After less than two years of Independence, the legendary D.V.G began an essay series titled "The Congress Ailing" in which he clinically dissected the degeneracy of the Congress and sounded repeated warnings. Today, we shouldn't be surprised that the Congress is headed by someone like Rahul Gandhi.
