I do not know a lot of people whose are listed in Wikipedia. Mahesh Elkunchwar (my relative, grandfather actually, its complicated to explain how…) is one such entrant who I know (quite) well (NOT).
I am proud to be a part of a legacy….may be only the surname….but Family always comes first…right ? Here are some links which do have a lot to say about this famous playwright.
