Publications

Moily has written a book The edge of time. It is a Kannada novel Tembare which examines, a complex cultural practice of coastal Karnataka, called bhutaradhane, or the worship of hero-spirits. The Pambada community, a marginalised dalit community, has as its hereditary profession, spirit impersonation during elaborate rituals. Mr. Moily explored two responses to this traditional and exploitative profession through two Pambada brothers: one who rebels and opts for formal education, and the other who tries to revive the true spirit of the ancient practice. (courtesy : Prasanta Varma, Advocate, Supreme Court of India). Mr. Moily is an advocate by profession, he entered politics about four decades ago and he became the chief minister of Karnataka in the year 1992.

Moily is a literary figure of some note. He has served as a regular columnist for The Hindu and Deccan Herald (both English newspapers) and for Samyukta Karnataka, a Kannada daily. He has also authored several books, all in Kannada, being:

  • Thembare: A novel and perhaps his most critically acclaimed work, it has been translated into English under the title "The edge of time."
  • Kotta: Another novel, made into telefilms in both Kannada and Hindi, directed by M.S. Sathyu.
  • Suligali ("Typhoon"), a novel. It was adapted into a film titled, Premave Balina Belaku (1984)[6]
  • Sagaradeepa: "Ocean lamp." A novel.
  • Milana: A play.
  • Parajitha: A play.
  • Premavendare: A play.

  • Musings on India: A collection of his newspaper articles, Sapna Publications and Full Circle, New Delhi, 2001

Moily has written four volumes of an English book called Unleashing India, which outlines how India can be a super power after 25 to 30 years by leveraging and properly utilising its demographic dividend. The early three volumes of the book dealt with the following: one on agriculture, second on water and third on power sector.[7] The fourth volume, "Unleashing India: The Fire of Knowledge" – which illustrates a detailed analysis of the deficiencies in the Indian education system, along with innovative strategies and solutions to address the educational needs of the country in the 21st century – was published on 29 March 2012.[8]
