Why hold Academy responsible

Please hold the government of Karnataka responsible. I am sure it will be difficult for these writers as Karnataka is under congress rule

who is Sahgal ?

the relative of Nehruji and hence the relative of Sonia-Rahul too, so she is worried about the down fall of this duo, and to divert attention , she started this row of Award-wapsi, but who cares these political oriented writers who never ever raised voice during Congress rule when Country suffered all-round.
These people are sycophants first than writers.

actually those who are opposing the return of awards are doing politics,these type of incidents happened in past but there was not such reactions from ministers and no condemnation immediately from top,and also the supporters who are writing in favor of criminals.

Return money also with Trophy
by suryakant agrawal on Oct 23, 2015 05:16 PM  | Hide replies

Awardees in all fairness must return money and benefits obtained out of award with monthly interest of 1%. In case any of them have problem in calculation, he can inform me dates of receipt of benefit and value of benefits against each date and I will sent calculation with interest on monthly rest basis. What is point of returning memento which may not have redeemable value of even Rs.100

Award has money and money has time value as well. I am not asking daily compounding. No body easily refuse accepting or returning a noble prize money , as sum involved is significant

It was Rs 25000 when Nayantara got it. It is Rs 100000 now. Is that significant?

Well, i think almost all have returned the amount too. I read that Nayantara returned 4 times the amount she got which was obviously interest which you people demand.

To even think that writers are more interested in money than the award just shows the level of people who pose such questions.

This is exactly what I wanted to hear from you. Dear Sir value of Rs.25000 received on 1.4.1986 is Rs.840326 as at 30.9.15 only with 1% per interest on monthly rest as is charged by banks. But if you take it as an unsecured loan returnable at whim rate could be 3% per month

Vijay you are speaking to a mob which will never understand the significance of returning the award. That is why they bring this whole concept down to it's lowest common denominator which is money. These writers are not beggars waiting for dole but they are our conscience keepers. When the govt or society acts in a crazed manner they have to demonstrate their grief at what is happening to the idea of India. People pushing for a Hindu Rashtra have no background of history. This is what the Fuehrer appealed to when he came into power saying that economic development has to triumph over everything. The German people got swept away by the rhetoric & then he slowly exterminated the Jews. The same will happen here if we are not vigilant & careful. The Minorities, Dalits & Tribals will be crushed & we will become like Pakistan or worse still Saudi Arabia.

No Agarwalji.. they should be charged 2% yearly interest and also put in jail for creating animosity by provoking minorities against this govt just because Govt has stopped their misdeeds and foreign funding.

What is the difference between Booker & Sahitya Akademi awards-You become famous when you get a Booker and you are famous when you return a Sahitya Akademi Award.
