In this article I discussed about literary contribution of Dr. S. L. Bhairappa and Dr. U. R. Ananthmurthy stand central and influential positions in modern kannada literature. Both contributed noble and novel literary pieces to the kannada literature. They are belonged to the same post-independence literary generation, their philosophical orientation and narrative methods are strongly discussed. Before and after them there were many literary giants like B M Srikantayya, Kuvemp Bendre, Karanta, Adiga and Kumbar. Kannada has a unique and major place and contribution in indian literature. Till now kannada language received eight jnaana peeth awards. Both Dr. Bhairappa and Dr. Ananthmurthy were much contradictory in their letter and their living being. In spite of all this their contribution to the kannada literature will always be remembered.

While Dr. Bhairappa supported the orthodox and culture where as Dr. Ananthmurthy questioned and strongly opposed the old rituals and system of the society. Dr. Ananthmurthy influenced by modern English literature and European culture in almost of his works. Ananthmurthy associated strongly with the Navya or modernist movement and he is recognized for his critical examination of caste, religious orthodoxy, social hierarchy, moral conflict and the tensions between tradition and modernity that I can see it in his writings.

But Dr. Bhairappa born in poor family faced many challenges in his life. He was deeply associated and influenced by Indian philosophy inquiry, historical research, psychological realism with Indian civilization, ethical questions and cultural memory. Both are peaks in their opinion but created stall worthy literary pieces. It seems very difficult to criticize and tell who among two is better.
