Creators of Omtara Kuteera
Shri. G.K. Ananthram's illustrious career in publishing, where he was a publisher
and editor at IBH Prakashana (India Book House), saw the
creation of over 5,000 Kannada and English books. Covering
a wide array of subjects such as art, astrology, culture,
history, literature, mythology, poetry, science, and
technology, his work showcased the diversity of India's
cultural tapestry. Notably, he conceptualized and led the
development of two iconic literary works - 'Amar Chitra
Katha' and 'Kannada Nadu Matthu Kannadigara Parampare.'
The 'Amar Chitra Katha' series, initially authored in
Kannada by Shri G.K. Ananthram, became an immensely
popular collection of children's comic books. These books
narrated tales from Indian ithihasas, history, and
culture. The series was eventually adopted by IBH's Bombay
headquarters and published in English, comprising hundreds
of titles that have educated and enriched readers across
India and beyond.
Similarly, 'Kannada Nadu Matthu Kannadigara Parampare' features hundreds of titles in Kannada, delving into the stories of Karnataka and its historical figures. Presented as easily digestible paperbacks, these narratives serve as a valuable resource for those eager to explore the history and heritage of the region. Shri. G.K. Ananthram's legacy in publishing is a tribute to his unwavering commitment to preserving and promoting India's cultural richness.
