Mangalore, Apr 21: Rubbishing the allegations lodged against the Brahmins of having introduced untouchability, Pejawar Mutt Seer Vishwesha Theertha Swamiji said that the practice existed way before the Brahmins came into picture and hence it was not a contribution of the Brahminical classes.

Speaking at 'Brahmana Jagrathi Sammelana' programme organized by the Brahmana Federation, Mangalore, at 'Sanghaniketana' in the city on Sunday the seer claimed that he has evidence to justify that the practice existed in the society in South India even before Brahmins came into the picture.

“Some so called intellectuals are attributing all evils in the society to Brahmins. Untouchability is not a contribution of Brahmins. I can prove that caste system existed in South India much before,” he asserted terming the present reservation system as a 'challenge'. “It is unfortunate that talented Brahmins are losing out on opportunities because of reservation,” he said.

'We are one'

Stating that although Brahmins are divided into several groups in coastal districts such as Shivalli, Havyaka, Kota, Sthanika, Koteshwara, Chitpavan, Deshastha and so on, he maintained that Brahmins are all one.

“We are all the sons of 'Vedamaathe'. The different philosophies like the Dwaitha, Advaitha, Vishistadvaitha are like branches of a tree. The Vedic Dharma is the root and we all need to water the roots, not the branches. Fingers come together and form a fist. A fist can either be used to knock someone down or hold something firmly. Brahmins do not knock others or hurt others. We all must come together like a fist to hold on to our culture firmly,” the Swamiji advised.

It is the responsibility of Brahmins to work for the betterment of the 'Hindu Samaj' and humanity as a whole, the Swamiji said. “It is Brahmins who need to stand up for Hindus and provide guidance to all, including Dalits. It is their responsibility”, he said.

Dr. P Sadananda Mayya, Propreitor, Mayya's Beverages and Foods Pvt Ltd, Bangalore, presided over the programme.

Vishwaprasanna Teertha Swamiji, Pejawar Mutt, Jitakamananda Swamiji, Ramakrishna Mutt, Mangalore, were also present.

Mangaluru, Apr 4: The mother and grandmother of the 10-month-old baby boy, under treatment at a private hospital in Deralakatte here for COVID-19 infection, tested negative.

Doctors at the hospital said the condition of the infant, who was admitted with an acute respiratory infection, was stable and there had been a good response to the treatment being given in isolation.

The child, hailing from Sajipanadu Village in Bantwal Taluk was admitted to a hospital at Deralakatte in Mangaluru for treatment on March 23 as it had developed respiratory problems. 

On March 24, the child’s condition worsened and hence his throat swabs was sent for COVID-19 testing. On March 27, reports of the tests confirmed that the child was infected with COVID-19.

Health authorities are of the view that the baby might have contracted the disease when the family travelled recently to Kasaragod in Kerala, a district identified as a hotspot for Coronavirus.

Bengaluru, Feb 29: Dreaded underworld don Ravi Poojary's lawyer Dilraj has allegedly been kept out of hearing distance and as a mute spectator during interrogation by the police.

"The lawyer is a mute spectator out of hearing distance from the interrogation. He is not privy to what police ask Pujari," a source told media.

As directed by the court and requested by Poojary, Dilraj is allowed to be present near the interrogation for him to consult on legal issues, but the cops have made sure that he does not hear anything for fear of leaking information.

The court has also ordered the interrogation to be video graphed, which the police are carrying out.

Police sources said that Ravi Poojary is relaxed and cool during the multi-lingual interrogation.

"He is cool, giving frank replies. Poojary is exhibiting confidence in whatever he is telling. Maybe confidently lying, police are not new to him," said the source.

According to source, the gangster knows how to handle police, with sufficient knowledge to reveal how much he wants to, when to stop, when to talk, when to mislead and plant false information.

"Poojary is being interrogated in his mother tongue Kannada, Hindi and English. He is fluent in English," the source said.

However, the source denied speculation gaining currency that Poojary requested police not to send him to Mumbai fearing of being eliminated by the henchmen of dreaded underworld dons Dawood Ibrahim and Chota Rajan.

"Nothing of that sort happened. It doesn't work like that. He has been captured after 25 years, and he is not a king to choose. Wherever the law takes him, he will go there," said the source.

Rajan is serving a life sentence inside a high security cell in Delhi's Tihar jail.

Currently, the probe is focused on Tilknagar Shabnam Developers double murder shootout case. Police are discovering information, verifying it with respect to evidence and building the case.

Taking regular breaks, police are interrogating Poojary from morning till evening.

Of the over 200 cases against Poojary in the southern state, 39 are in Bengaluru, 36 at Mangaluru, 11 in Udupi on the state's west coast and one each at Mysuru, Hubballi-Dharwad, Kolar and Shivamogga in Malnad.

The other cases are in Mumbai (49) and in Gujarat (75) pertaining to extortion, kidnapping, ransom demand and murder threats.

Poojary also extorted huge amounts from popular Bollywood stars and realtors. He was also involved in an attempt to murder case, aimed at killing a prominent lawyer of Mumbai.

A four-member Karnataka police team led by Pandey brought the 52-year-old underworld don to Bengaluru from Dakar in Senegal via Paris in an Air France scheduled flight during the wee hours and kept him at an interrogation centre in the city's south-east suburb.
