Remembering Anantha Murthy : The Doyen of Indian Fiction

Abstract

Murthy's Samskara is not a novel in the Western sense of the term. There is no art, no design, no point of you, no intellectual hair-splitting. It depicts simple people bound by tradition and circumstance and yet whatever happens to them is so very touching.
