Hi!
I have sent a copy of scit also this time. But the problem with scit is that
I find my postings only after a day or two. So, I feel for live discussions,
it's not suitable. We can still send copies to SCIT.
The telusa-scit address @smartcad.me.wisc.edu is non-functional I observed.
Could the telusA archive page and this address be reestablished?
Re: kollAyi gaTTitE nEmi
The concern raised by Sri Sitaramayya is profound though we tend to dismiss
the complaint. It's difficult for the sections not victimized by such poems
to feel the bias of the poet as being serious.
Vasu garu gave a mentally satisfying reply that we should acknowledge such
biases and not blindly support the poet. We should teach next generations
the mistakes of the past and present. The work from a literary perspective
can still be great. But it has a limitation which must be considered. Same
applies to VisvanAtha also.
