Chandan Gowda in Outlook In 1992, on the birth anniversary of the legendary Kannada writer Kuvempu (1904-1994), the Rashtrakavi Kuvempu Pratishthana or Trust (RKP) was founded at his birthplace to nourish his legacy. In his inaugural address, the then chief minister of Karnataka, S. Bangarappa, suggested that the writer’s home in Kuppalli in Shimoga be developed in the same manner as Shakespeare’s home in England. After Kuvempu passed away, his son, Poornachandra Tejasvi, a major Kannada writer himself who passed away in 2007, proved a creative force behind the efforts to nourish his legacy, even as he stayed outside the RKP.
