Dr C Naganna

A tireless academic and literary force, Dr. C. Naganna’s journey spans over 35 years of teaching, writing, translating and shaping thought. With over 30 books in Kannada and English—ranging from poetry and novels to literary criticism and history—his voice carries both depth and quiet conviction. His spellbinding commentary on the Mysuru Dasara procession, beamed to over 60 countries for a decade, has become tradition. A celebrated presence at the Akka Sammelana in Atlantic City, he’s been honoured with the Kannada Rajyotsava, Kuvempu Aniketana and Vardhamana awards, among others. Through it all, Dr. Naganna continues to remind us of the beauty of language, scholarship, and cultural memory.
