B. Jayashree, noted theatre personality and Rajya Sabha member, recieving the Karanth Huttura Prashasti at Kota in Udupi district on Wednesday. Kota Srinivas Poojary, Minister for Ports and Muzrai, (Third from the Right) is also seen.
Environmentalist N.A. Madhyasta, who was accorded Karanth Puraskar on Wednesday, recalled an incident where Mr. Karanth had questioned his finding of a rare fish variety in a well in Chitpady that was reported in a Kannada newspaper.
Mr. Karanth, he said, had termed the fish a snake. “I wrote back stating that it was indeed a fish and pointed out I had enough experience to distinguish between a fish and an eel. But Karanth was angry with my reaction,” Mr. Madhyasta recalled.
