| M. Gopalakrishna Adiga |
(18 February 1918 - 14 November 1992 / Mogeri,
Kundapura taluk, Udupi, Karnataka / India)
Mogeri Gopalakrishna Adiga
(Kannada: ಮೊಗೇರಿ ಗೋಪಾಲ ಕೃಷ್ಣ ಅಡಿಗ) was one of the majors figures in modern Kannada
poetry. He is known as the "pioneer of New style" poetry.
Early Life
Born in an orthodox, scholarly, Brahmin family
in the coastal village of Mogeri, Udupi district, in Karnataka State. After
primary education in Mogeri and Baindooru, he went to high school in Kundapur,
14 miles away from his village. His education would have ended after high
school, but for the foresight of his aunt, who, against the will of other
family members, gave moral and monetary support for his college studies. Thus,
Adiga went to Mysore and earned his BA (Hons) in English from Maharaja College,
University of Mysore.
After several minor jobs in Karnataka, Adiga
worked at Sharada Vilas College in Mysore as lecturer in English from 1948 to
1952, during which time he completed a master’s degree from Nagpur University.
He also served at St. Philomena College in Mysore for ten years. In the mid
1960s, he became Principal at the newly created Lal Bahadur Shashtri College in
Sagara, and later at Poorna Prajna College in Udupi.
As editor of Saakshi magazine he helped bring
Kannada literature to the masses.
