message: I think Jayakanthan was awarded the "Jnanapith Award" for the translation of Romain Rolland's biography of Mahatma Gandhi. The name of the book is "Vazhavaikka Vandha Gandhi". But it is written in the article as "His Jnanpith award winning novel "Hara, Hara Sankara" is yet another controversial as it is pro Sankara cult.". Is this correct ? - Santhoshguru 04:19, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The English-Wikipedia article on Jnanpith says that since 1982 the Jnanpith is awarded for "overall contribution to Indian literature". It is no longer for a single work by the writer. So that sentence (that Jayakanthan won the award for "Hara, Hara Sankara") should perhaps be removed. Giridhar 08:54, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, Giridhar you are right. I have removed the sentence. -Santhoshguru 03:48, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jnanapith Award 

message: Jayakanthan's short story 'agnipprevesam'was one of the most controversial short stories of the early sixties. Jayakanthan took his critics head on for some years. Finally he came up with a novel 'silanerangalil sila manithargal',developed on the story. The difference is that Jaykanthan changed the controversial closure of the original short story and gave it the conventional closure which becomes the opening of the novel. The novel was made into a film much later and bagged awards. The original story was embedded in the  novel and the heroine, Ganga,and her mother feel that they should have dealt with the rape of Ganga as done in the short story.It is important to note here that the original short story did not name any character. Ganga was known only as 'she'.As far as my knowledge goes no writer has attempted a reversal of the closure of story to open up newer possibilities. Also an earlier work getting embedded in a later work is an innovative narratological technique.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nagarajan1946 (talk • contribs) 08:50, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
