Editing is a creative art

The writers, the editors and the learned contributors write, read, and evaluate a text as a matter of volition.

They are intensely impressionable, private, one with the inimitable personal responses to life.

They think, feel, record and register such feelings in compositions. Their thoughts are in print as men speaking to men. They recreate in manifold ways their ideas. They imitate meaningful discourses with fellow human beings in plain and inclusive ways on the subjects of regionalism, historical, political, social and legendary stories of India, geography and social milieu. Folklores, life of people in the times of kingdoms, wartimes, and colonial period.

The rich volume entitled The Nativist Vision of Life in the Works of Basavaraj Naikar is edited by P.V. Laxmiprasad. The gift of editing is an art. It is an inspiration and there is a divinity moving around him and guiding him to undertake the work of editing the research articles by creative and critical-minded people with fervor for extending the horizon of the literary world.
