<p>“I am amazed why there is no dialogue between writers. This should change,” he said.<br />Speaking to media persons at an interaction programme at Mysore District Journalists Association (MDJA) here on Saturday, Kambara said Indian literature was following the pattern in the West, which was in a great hurry to categorise any literature or work as ‘good, bad or worse’ as soon as the work was published.<br /><br />“This is a dangerous. One should not write off, or laud any work without seeping in it for some time. There should be debate and discussion about the works of a writer before arriving at a conclusion. Aping West even in creating literature can force us to lose a very important part of our heritage,” he said.<br /><br />Expressing his concern about orality being lost, Kambara said high dependency on scripts and usage of fonts can cause serious damage to the folklore of any land. “When we lose connection with our memories and depend on another language even for fundamentals such as relationships and names of vegetables and fruits, we are sure walking towards a rather bleak future in the perspective of culture,” he said.<br /><br />Stating that folk continues to thrive among those tribes at Male Mahadeshwara Hills, those who render Mante Swamy Kathe, Yakshagana, and finally, politicians who were able to create langauge of their own. Answering a query on why he didn’t continue with film making process, Kambara said he and his contemporaries backed out when they realised the medium had more potential to lie than what poetry or writing did.<br /><br />“This changes your entire experience since you end up believing whatever you see. And that’s dangerous since it destroys the orality as tradition,” he said. Prior to the interaction programme, Kambara was felicitated by the office bearers of MDJA.<br /></p>
