Mangaluru, Aug 5: Even as the students of St Thomas Aided Higher Primary School at Bondanthila in Mangaluru taluk, rubbished the allegations of compulsory' Arabic class, the Sri Ram Sena has continued to accuse the school management of forcibly' teaching Arabic. The saffron outfit has also demanded the school headmaster to withdraw complaint against the Hindutva activists.

Addressing media persons here on Friday Mahesh Kumar Koppa, Karnataka state unit president of the Sena, warned to hold massive protests in front of all Catholic churches in Dakshina Kannada if the case was not withdrawn.

Describing the act of miscreants, who barged into the school, as their “democratic right”, Mr Koppa said that it was just a visit following the request of some of the parents and not an act of rowdyism. According to eye witnesses, the miscreants had threatened the teacher and even snatched books from the students when the Arabic class was going on.

“Our activists had visited the school peacefully and submitted a representation to headmaster Melwyn Braggs urging him to stop Arabic classes. He had also agreed to fulfil our demand”, Mr Koppa said and added that later Mr Braggs lodged a false complaint against the activists.

At the behest of school management, the police have filed charges of trespassing and preventing a government official from discharging their duties against the members. The false case should be withdrawn, he demanded.

Claiming that there was a political motive behind filing such cases against Hinduvta activists, he held Catholic churches responsible for this. “We will hold protest against this and also will wage a legal battle,” he said.

ISIS terrorists!

Mr Koppa suspected the hand of “conversion racket” behind Arabic teaching in the school managed by Christians. He went on to claim that such classes will motivate people to become ISIS terrorists. Instead of Arabic, the school can teach Tulu script, Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana and Mahabharata and other Hindu scriptures, he suggested.

Mr Koppa also said that the State government and the district administration should immediately intervene in the cases of schools teaching Arabic without obtaining permission.

“How can they teach Arabic in a government aided school?” he argued and urged the government not to spend tax-payers money for this school and its teachers. He also exhorted the education department to conduct a probe into the incidents of teaching Arabic.

First of all Arabic classes not necessary in India.
Secondly rowdism in school is not permitted
No one can take law into their hands and no moral policing required

Arabic is the universal language,in middle east and in African countries this is the language of all faith of people. By learning Arabic one can gain more knowledge and understanding. Thousands of our co-citizens are employed in gulf countries are very much sure that the knowing of Arabic language is the plus point for their earnings there. Which make our countries economy stable.
Narrow mind thinking is not at all good for any civilized society.

This Koppa needs to be admitted to a mental hospital. He is not normal. Christians convert; Muslims are terrorists and Dalits are beef eaters and beef is more important than humans. By repeating lies, lies do not become truths. Send the entire gang of BJP, RSS, VHP, BD and Rama Sene to Andamans. They need to be exiled for peace in Mangalore

Why you people are not fighting to make Sanskrit a compulsory language?. I feel it should be done so that everyone should learn the Holy Vedas. do you know that Gayathri Manthra in the arabic version is the first chapter of the Quran
Gayathri Manthra : OM BhurBhuva Swaha
Tatsavitur Varenyam
Bhargo devasya
Dheemahi Dhiyo Yonaha
Prachodayat
Meaning: we meditate on the Glory of the Creator who has created the universe who is worthy of worship who is embodiment of knowledge and light who is the remover of sin and ignorance May He open our hearts and May He guide us

Al Fathiha First chapter :
In the name of the Lord most merciful most beneficent
Praise be to the Lord of the universe Most merciful most Beneficent
Master of the day of judgement
To you alone we worship and to you alone we ask for help
Guide us to the straight path
The path of those whom you have blessed and not the path of those on whom your anger has fallen and not those who have gone astray

I agree with Bhaira. What's the necessity of fighting with Christians, who are also victims of Islamic terrorism. Hindus and Christians should unitedly fight terror community.

This Sri Rama Sena is a curse. Doing all unnecessary things. This group is actually funded by Saudi Arabia. They want to curb true Hindutva groups such as Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad.

The total coronavirus cases include 834 discharges, 1,650 active cases, 47 deaths so far due to the disease and two deaths due non-COVID causes, Suresh Kumar, who is minister for primary and secondary education, said during the daily COVID-19 briefing.

According to him, 29 cases were reported in Udupi on Thursday, followed by 24 in Dakshina Kannada district, 13 in Hassan, 12 in Bidar, nine in Bengaluru Urban, seven in Yadagiri, six in Chitradurga, five in Kalaburagi, four in Haveri, three in Chikkamagaluru, two in Vijayapura and one in Raichur.

The minister said among the new cases, 95 are inter-state passengers and two international passengers.

Among those discharged today, 13 are in Davangere, 12 in Dakshina Kannada, nine each in Yadagiri and Vijayapura, five in Gadag, three in Belagavi, one each in Mysuru and Bagalkote.

Bengaluru, Jun 7: An eminent scientist on Sunday suggested a shift system in schools to prevent spread of the coronavirus and continuing with online classes with focus on project-based learning in a big way to promote creativity.

Former Director General of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) V K Saraswat supported the idea of online teaching in the absence of regular classes in view of closure of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

But, he said it should be organised in far better and more interactive ways so that delivery of knowledge can be better. The NITI Aayog member stressed the need for schools to have a strategy when they reopen keeping in mind the safety of students.

May be they will have to organise shifts so that within the same space they can handle the students; May be they will have to employ more teachers, and they can run two shifts. "May be half the strength in a class can come in the morning and others in the afternoon.

Or students of first to sixth standard can come in the morning and seventh to tenth can come in the afternoon, Saraswat told PTI. Reopening strategy will have to be worked out by the education department, added the former Chief Scientific Advisor to the Defence Minister.

Along with normal classes, online education should be continued as a regular system in future, and promoted in a big way because that is the way technology is going to help delivery of knowledge, he added. Saraswat also raised the pitch for reforms in the education sector, saying India is facing the problem of rote learning.

Rote learning has to give way for more project-based teaching, he underlined. Children should be made to work on projects at home and that can be done online. That will also support the changeover from rote learning to creative learning.

I personally believe the education delivery system -- primary, secondary and college levels -- has to be completely changed because creativity in India is less and creativity would come only if we replace rote learning with project-based learning, Saraswat said.

On some academics holding the view that the marks-based model is killing the education system in India as it does not promote creativity, he said evaluation of any outcome is important. Even when we perform in our normal way, evaluation cannot be replaced.

Otherwise, you cant find out how much you have succeeded in delivery. Certainly evaluation cannot be dispensed with. He did not agree with some experts, who favoured a single, uniform system for school education in India by dispensing with CBSE, ICSE and state boards. I am not for normalising everything in life.

I personally believe variety should be there. This concept of one kind of a system is okay for a Communist society, society which was trying to drive everybody like a herd, he said.

Creativity comes with variety, and there is nothing wrong in having different kinds of education system, but one thing which is important is we have to integrate vocational training as part of the education curriculum," Saraswat said. Vocational part cannot be kept away from the education system, he added.
