Swami Rao Kulkarni, senior writer and publisher of Shirapur Prakashan, and Sujata Jangamshetty, president of Ranga Sangama Kala Vedike, addressing a press conference in Kalaburagi on Friday said that Mr. Walikar, a renowned rebel writer and Shantarasa Hemberalu, a veteran writer and Nadoja awardee, have made immense contributions in the field of literature.
Mr. Walikar was a prominent voice of the rebel literary movement and bandaya tradition in Kannada literature. The eminent writer fought for the rights of marginalised communities through his writings untiringly.
