Hi and welcome to another episode of DH Radio. In today's episode, director, actor, screenwriter, lyricist and a legend of Kannada cinema Nagathihalli Chandrashekar tells DH's Nina C George all about his journey and how cinema has changed.

Nina C George: Hi sir, welcome to Deccan Herald Radio.

Nagathihalli Chandrashekar: Hi Nina.

Nina: Tell us about your parents and the village that you grew up in Nagathihalli, how did that influence your childhood and your growing up years?

N Chandrashekar: Nagathihalli is my village in Nagamagala taluk in Mandya district. It's dry land and the greats metaphors of my village were the highway, the old primary school and my teachers with their vast knowledge. This kind of childhood was very very common for all the rural boys in all those days. My father and mother were both school teachers and that helped me to read and write and think in Kannada well. I found my expression in writing short stories. My first story to be published was when I was in standard eight and the title of the story is 'Aavarta'...

In the history of Karnataka, there was a point when Kannada the language based on which the state was re-organised was losing its sheen in the educational sphere. But the one movement, the Gokak movement changed it all. today we are joined by a literary and cultural critic based in Shivamogga Rajendra Chenni, who will tell us about this turning point in the state's history.

Ahmed Shariff: Hi sir and welcome to DH Radio.

Rajendra Chenni: Hello.

Ahmed: Let's rewind the time to go back to the 1980s. The state was peaceful and there was a sudden upheaval of the Gokak agitation. Can you shed some light on that?

Rajendra Chenni: One cannot say that it's kind of a sudden phenomenon in Karnataka. We have to understand the background and the hinterland associated with the language policy in Karnataka...

L Subramani: Hi, Ahmed. Thank you for having me.

Ahmed: Shall we open the trove?

Subramani: Yes!

Ahmed: Hi sir and welcome to another episode of the Read of the week.

Subramai: Hi, Ahmed. And it's, as usual, it's nice to talk about the stuff that we are reading. Reading is anyway a private activity and it's sort of a luxury to sit and discuss.

Ahmed: What was your week like sir, what was the previous week like?

Subramani: When you with a particular genre of book, you tend to go sort of full-throttle into it. I first completed 'Jugalbandi'.
