“Very good initiative indeed. Hats off to the efforts. But surprising to see- When people who are branded as left (likes of Prakash Raj, Raghunatha cha. ha., Prathibha Nandakumar etc. ) are given place as speakers, why don’t you include famous writers like Rohith Chakratheertha, Dr. G.B. Harisha etc? Further, novelists like Karanam Pavan Prasad and writers like Gopalakrishna Kuntini are left out. They are much much better than many writers who find a place as speakers.
One more thing: Why there is no place for writers related to Agriculture? They are not coming under your purview? There are many people like Shree Padre, Shivananda Kalave etc.who do creative writing related to Agriculture.”
