Kalburgi complete literary works omnibus: 27,000 pages, 40 volumes, 68 kilograms

An omnibus of the complete literary works of slain scholar M.M. Kalburgi was assassinated in Dharwad on August 30, 2015, then chief minister Siddaramaiah had announced that the Karnataka government would publish the collected works of the scholar. Publishing the collected works of the late Kalburgi was a responsibility and also a political act, said Dr. Kulkarni who had a long working association with the scholar. While articles and research papers have been published in eight volumes titled ‘Marga’ during Kalburgi's lifetime, his other works had not been collated so far. We have only published works pertaining to classical literature and on independent thematic issues,” Dr. Veeranna Rajura, chief editor of the project, wrote in a note on the collected works.
