The Bhavan's President, Shri Surendralal G. Mehta's book, Rich Tradition, Richer Heritage will be translated into Kannada shortly, while exploring the possibility of rendering the work in other South Indian languages.
The decision was taken at the launch of Shri Mehta's book in Bengaluru on a suggestion made by Prof. M. H. Krishnaiah, former president, Karnataka Sahitya Academy.
Speaking about the book, Prof. Krishnaiah mooted the idea of making it a part of school curricula as it had nuggets of wisdom that could lay the foundation for character building and creating an ethical society.
Dr. K. Radhakrishnan, Advisor, Department of Space, and former chairman, ISRO, who released the book said the work should not be limited to a Kannada translation, as every citizen should know the value of the heritage of India; Bhavan should take a lead in this regard. The younger generation should learn to "read" and Bhavan should become a forum for literary activities, he said.
