Speaking at a seminar on “Dalit women and movement”, organised jointly by B. Krishnappa Memorial Trust and Srishti Samskratika Vedike, he said that Krishnappa gave a new dimension to the fight for the well-being of Dalits though poetic expression of his feelings.
He referred to the contribution of women writers to the cause of Dalit movement.
Journalist N.S. Shankar said that Krishnappa made a significant contribution in converting the struggles by farmers and Dalits for justice into effective social movements. He, however, regretted that the Dalit movement, which was effective in the early 1980s, became weak because of power politics. Indira Krishnappa, chairperson of the B. Krishnappa Trust, presided over the function.
