M Jeevana
I was reading few old books last year.I found the name of an author on an old book.It was M.Jeevana.
I asked my friends in Bengalooru(earlier Bangalore).To my surprise many good writes never heard this name.he has written books on poetry(vachana) of basavanna(basaveshwara).He has also translated Banabhatta's KADAMBARI epic in to modern Kannada.
Finally when I was reading with Prof.Keeram Nagaraj he said that he has read his books.By reading his books I am feeling..I don't know why...that Jeevana is pseudonym.He might be a Muslim by birth and to avoid his identity he might have used this pen name.I am getting more curious to expolore more about Kannada writer Jeevana.
