The revised edition of Muttisikonduvaru, a book chronicling the life and legacy of the late Dr. B.M. Thippeswamy, will be released on Tuesday at 5 p.m. at Kondajji Auditorium, Bharat Scouts and Guides campus, Palace Road. Edited by writer B.T. Jahnavi, daughter of Dr. Thippeswamy, the book has been reworked to present his life and ideas to a new generation of readers. The edition is being published by Bee Culture, led by Vishnukumar and Dilawar Ramdurg. 'My father, Dr. Thippeswamy, was a prominent ophthalmologist, a member of the Karnataka Public Service Commission, and a legislator. Known for his principled public life, he was deeply involved in efforts to dismantle caste-based discrimination,' Ms. Jahnavi said. This book, marking the centenary of his birth, brings together personal reflections and lived experiences, particularly his encounters with untouchability and the social barriers of his time. Ms. Jahnavi noted that her father's life was guided by integrity and an unwavering commitment to justice. His work continues to serve as a touchstone for those striving toward social equity. The event will be attended by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who will officially release the book. Rajya Sabha MP L. Hanumanthaiah and former MLC Mohan Kondajji will attend as guests of honor. Scholars Du. Saraswati and V.L. Narasimhamoorthy will provide an introduction to the book and reflect on its relevance.
