His rise as a playwright in the 1960s, marked the coming of age of modern Indian playwriting in Kannada, just as Badal Sarkar did in Bengali, Vijay Tendulkar in Marathi, and Mohan Rakesh in Hindi.He was a recipient of the 1998 Jnanpith Award, the highest literary honour conferred in India.
Karnad composed plays, often using history and mythology to tackle contemporary issues. He translated his plays into English and received acclaim. His plays have been translated into some Indian languages and directed by directors like Ebrahim Alkazi, B. V. Karanth, Alyque Padamsee, Prasanna, Arvind Gaur, Satyadev Dubey, Vijaya Mehta, Shyamanand Jalan, Amal Allana and Zafer Mohiuddin.

Girish Karnad, who has died aged 81, was India’s foremost playwright, as well as a successful film director and popular actor, appearing in arthouse films as well as hit Bollywood movies such as Ek Tha Tiger.
India’s obsession with cinema means Karnad was best known for his acting roles, but it is for his plays, in which he often used myths, folklore and historical events to examine the cultural, economic and social changes in post-independence India, that he will be remembered. Strongly influenced by the philosopher Krishnamurti, who questioned traditional Indian devotion to caste, religion and duty, Karnad worked from the position that the individual was the maker of his own existence – rather than subject to Hindu notions of fate and karma.
Tughlaq (1964) captured the disappointment of early independent India; and Hayavadana (1971) looked at issues around personal identity and female emancipation.
In these works, radical for their time, Karnad captured the feelings of a disillusioned middle-class, who so recently had been united in their fight for freedom from the British but were questioning what independence meant for India now.
Other notable plays, set firmly in modern India, include A Heap of Broken Images (2006), a cynical look at the Indian literary establishment; Wedding Album (2009), about Hindu marriage and issues of sex, obedience and commerce; and Boiled Beans on Toast (2014), about modern Bengaluru (Bangalore).
