# Girish karnad's some information in the new paper: (gujarat newpaper):
ગિરીશ કરનાડ : જેટલું શાનદાર જીવન એટલુ જ શાનદાર મૃત્યુ . ( ખલીલ ધનતેજવી)
કીર્તિને કશો ઘોંઘાટ કર્યા વગર ધીમી ગતિએ ચાલવાની આદત છે. અને કલાદારને દોડવાની કુટેવ પડી છે. માણસ રાતોરાત કલદાર પ્રાપ્ત કરી શકે છે. કીર્તિ રાતોરાત મળી જતી નથી. કીર્તિને મનાવતા અને કાર્ય નિષ્ઠાનો પેંડો લાગેલો હોય છે.કીર્તિ સીમાડા ઓળંગે છે અને સદીઓ સુધી એના ડંકા વાગતા રહે છે.કીર્તિવાન માણસના બેસણાની જાહેરાત આપવી પડતી નથી. અખબારની હેડલાઇનમા એમના મૃત્યુના સમાચાર છપાય છે જેમ મહાન નાટયકાર ગિરીશ કરનાડના મૃત્યુ વિશે પ્રોસપેટ પણ આપી નથી . છતાં ભારતના તમામ રાષ્ટ્રીય ભાષામાં અને પ્રાદે -શિક અખબારો સહિત સોશિયલ મીડિયાએ તેમને માત્ર જગ્યા જ નહિ ફાળવી આપી પણ,ખાસો સમય પન ફાળવ્યો હતો. કરનાડ શ્રીમત નહોતા. એ આધુનિક નાટકોના સ્થાપક અને પ્રચારક હતા. એ અદાકાર હતા, દિગ્દર્શક હતા. અને ગિરીશ કરનાડને નાટયકાર તરીકે ઓળખાતા એમના ચાહકોમા ઘણા ઓછાને એ જાણ હશે કે અન્યાય અને અરાજકતા વિરુદ્ધ લડત ચલાવતા કર્મશીલ હતા.એકિટવિષઠ પણ હતા ને એ માટે એમના માથે જોખમ પણ સતત ઝઝૂમતું રહ્યુ હતુ. પત્રકાર ગૌરી લંકેશની હત્યાની તપાસ કરતી સ્પેશયલ ઇન્વેસ્ટીગેશનના અગ્નિણીના જણાવ્યા મુજબ ગિરીશ કરનાડ મર્યા ગયા ન હોત તો માર્ય ગયા હોત. ગૌરી લંકેશના હત્યારાઓ પાસેથી ઇન્વેસ્ટીગેશની ટીમને જે ડાયરી મળી એ ડાયરીમા કરનાડનુ પણ હતુ. આમ આ લેખક વિશે માહિતી આપી છે. કન્નડ નાટકો માટે પાંચ દાયકા અંગ્રેજી નાટકોનું ભાષાંતર કર્યુ છે. તો એમના પોતાના નાટકોમાંનુ પણ અંગ્રેજી સહિત દેશની લગભગ સમગ્ર પ્રાદેશિક ભાષામાં રૂપાંતર થયું છે.
