About Shanti Prakashana
Shanthi Prakashana was floated in 1988 with the noble objective of introducing the eternal values of Islam to the Kannada reading Muslims and non-Muslims. The principal goal before its organization is to provide an opportunity of acquiring knowledge of Islam, to many such Muslims who depend upon Kannada language. Besides, it aims at dispelling the deep rooted prejudices and misgivings prevailing in the minds of many non Muslim Kannadigas about Islam and the Muslim community. In this regard, Shanthi Prakashana has brought to light well over a hundred titles on divergent topics.
The objectives of this organization vary from primary lessons on Islam meant for small children to serous works confirming to very high literary standards, catering to the needs and testes of intellectual and enlightened section of the society. Shanthi Prakashana has published volumes of Holy Qur’an, originally in Arabic, along with its translation, commentary and explanatory notes in Kannada language for the benefit of over 50 million Kannadigas world over. This step has been welcomed and widely appreciated by all quarters as a great and historic contribution enriching the area of Kannada literature. In fact almost all publications of this organization have won the admiration of noted literary personalities and institutions of Karnataka.
