Mysuru :

Speaking at Prof. Vasu Malali award presentation ceremony organised, jointly by Vasu Malali Kutumba Bhoomithayi Thota and Karnataka Vichara Vedike, at the Institution of Engineers-India (IEI) on JLB Road here yesterday, Neela said that creative writing is facing a threat in this era of globalisation.

Stating that the freedom of writers is under threat in the State, she lamented the untoward incidents that took place during Tipu Jayanti celebrations in November.

Regretting that attempts are being made to distort history, she bemoaned that original history is gradually disappearing from the society after losing its value.
