Contribution to Kannada Literature

Prof Ganeshaiah has pioneered a new style of writing novels and short

stories in Kannada that seamlessly mixes facts and fiction in the form of

thrillers. Through this style, his writings have captured a new generation

of readers in Kannada contributing to the growth of story writing in

Kannada.

Though an agriculture scientist, his novels and stories bring to the reader,

the lesser-known and hidden facts of history along with science. Some of

his novels are also aimed at bringing the most complicated elements of

science to the general reader.

Recognizing the novelty in the style of writing, he was awarded

Kannada Sahitya Academy Datti Award for his novel Kanaka Musuku,

which combines both history and science. As some experts have inferred,

his thrillers have drawn a large number of new readers to Kannada.

In recognition of his novel contribution to Kannada Literature, Prof Ganeshaiah has also been honored with the Honorary President of Kolar District Sahitya Parishat during 2013

Prof Ganeshaiah has written Nine novels, and 41 short/long stories (in eight collections) and over 63 essays in the areas related Science and Society.  His recent book Sasya Sagga on the wonders of plant life as told through his own journey in the field of botany and evolution has attracted your readers. Several of his novels and stories were serialized in Kannada Weekly Magazines
