Mysore/Mysuru: Renowned Tamil author Perumal Murugan captivated the audience at Mysuru Literature Festival yesterday with his fascinating anecdotes and challenges.
During a panel discussion ‘Is the Pen Mightier? Politics of Culture and Defiance,’ Perumal Murugan revealed that he faced similar threats to those encountered by writers Gauri Lankesh and Prof. M.M. Kalburgi in Karnataka. These threats stemmed from his translation of Vasudevan’s Tamil work, ‘Mathoru Bagan,’ into English, published under the title ‘One Part Woman.’
