Mysore/Mysuru: Writer Dr. Chaduranga (Subramanya Raje Urs) was remembered on his 109th birth anniversary at a programme organised under the aegis of Ursu Mahila Jagruti Sabha Trust at the Institution of Engineers-India (IEI) on JLB Road here on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion, writer Prof. C. Naganna said: “Chaduranga was very much inspired by Mahatma Gandhi. Noting that renowned writer B.M. Srikantaiah (B.M. Shri) was pleased with the writings of Dr. Chaduranga, he said that Subramanya Raje Urs came to be known as Chaduranga as he was very much interested in chess. Though Dr. Chaduranga was inspired by the Mahatma, his writings were sensitive in nature and contained striking social issues of his time.
