In the passing away of Karnataka’s well-known Kannada book publisher Sri T.S. Chayapathi, we have lost a tall person whose contribution to the Kannada literary world was immense. A man of a generous heart who was author-friendly.
His interest in Kannada art, culture and literature could be measured if we look at the number of books he had published from famous authors and subject experts. My only regret is that despite best wishes from me and some distinguished persons, he was not blessed with the prestigious Rajyotsava Award. However, he will always be remembered by all those whose books he had published and their family members and friends.
