Which of the following writers has NOT received the Jnanpith Award?

  1. Rabindranath Tagore
  2. R.K. Narayan
  3. Harivansh Rai Bachchan
  4. Kuvempu

Answer: R.K. Narayan

R.K. Narayan, though a legendary Indian writer, never received the Jnanpith Award. Rabindranath Tagore (1913 Nobel, not Jnanpith), Harivansh Rai Bachchan, and Kuvempu are Jnanpith recipients. Correction: Tagore died before Jnanpith was instituted; he didn't receive it. Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Kuvempu did receive it.
