Girish Karnad is a product of cross cultural fertilization. Marathi is his mother tongue. Kannada is the language of his childhood that became the language of the writer. English is his academic language in which he has acquired proficiency. Besides these he knows Hindi and Sanskrit, too. On the one hand he inherited Indian tradition of drama and on the other he acquired modern techniques of drama.

The regular adaptations from Indian literature in several languages for Indian cinema , no doubt , brings curiosity of interlinking of some of the past and traditional Indian implications of the Indian past and her glory. The preconceptions and belongingness to the theory of the principles of

A much early historiography of Karnataka by Aluru Venkatarao also delineates on similar lines identifying the juncture of Battle of Talikota in 1565 as the time of decline of glory of Karnataka.

Craig Silvey engages us with Jasper Jones in order to convey a certain moral message in hope to make us stop and think. No one in this novel is truly accepted into the community, which tells me as the responder, that in order for this society to succeed differences need to be tossed aside. Jasper Jones is a credible recollection of the injustice, racism and social exclusion that exists in the Australian society. It also tackles growing up, first love, family unity, and a sense of belonging in a community

I compared Act One, Scene 2, in the play and the film. The setting in the play is on a Saturday morning, and house cleaning is in process at the Youngers.
