Query: Dr S.L. Bhyrappa's novel "Bhitti"

[Narayan Prasad]

Dear Scholars,

      Namaste!

      I would like to know whether the autobiographical novel of Dr S.L. Bhyrappa "Bhitti" [first edition 1996, and 17th edition 2023] was revised and enlarged at any stage.

      I purchased the 2022 edition in Hindi translation and have access to the 2004 edition in Marathi. While the former has 17 chapters, the latter only 16. There is a significant difference between the two texts, esp. ch.15 in Hindi has about 50 pages more in Hindi.

      I have put up the query, because I want to purchase the original Kannada edition as well (but the latest revised one, if at all done).

      Regards
