                  After graduating from Karnataka University in 1958, Karnad studied philosophy, politics, and economics as a Rhodes scholar at the University of Oxford (1960–63).
                 He wrote his first play, the critically acclaimed Yayati(1961), while still at Oxford. Centred on the story of a mythological king, the play established Karnad’s use of the themes of history and mythology that would inform his work over the following decades. Karnad’s next play, Tughlaq (1964), tells the story of the 14th-century sultan Muḥammad ibnTughluq and remains among the best known of his works.

He also worked in Hindi, directingthe critically acclaimed Utsav (1984), an adaptation of Shudraka’s4th-century Sanskrit play Mrichchakatika.   With the play Nagamandala (1988), Karnad framed an unhappy contemporary marriage in imagery drawn from Kannada folk tales.

                 In 1992 the Indian government awarded Karnad another of its highest honours, the Padma Bhushan, in recognition of his contributions to the arts. He was the recipient of the Jnanpith Award, India’s highest literary prize, in 1999 for his contributions to literature and theatre. He continued to work in film, directing such movies as Kanooru Heggadithi (1999) and acting in Iqbal(2005), Life Goes On (2009), and 24(2016), among others.
Thank you....
