Kalaburagi, Feb 6: The State government will take steps to ensure that Kannada as a language is taught in all private schools, Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa announced today at the 85th Akhila Bharata Kannada Sahitya Sammelana in Kalaburagi.
This comes in the wake of the demand by some Kannada activists for making Kannada medium compulsory in all schools in the State. Sammelana president H.S. Venkatesh Murthy, who spoke after the Chief Minister, also made this demand.
The Chief Minister said “We are committed to putting in place a series of steps to see that Kannada is taught in all schools, aided and private, as a language. Kannada should be taught as the first or second language. We will also take steps to strengthen government schools. However, the government alone cannot do much. The community and parents should offer support to make sure that government schools provide quality education to all.”
To inculcate the spirit of scientific inquiry, the State government is setting up mobile planetariums. This will increase the interest of children in space technology and India’s efforts in space exploration.
The government is committed to protecting the interests of the State in Mahadayi and other river water disputes. It will take the border row issue, based on the Mahajan Commission report pending in the Supreme Court, to its logical end.
The government will also address backwardness and related issues. It will make sure that adequate funds are allocated to the development of Kalyana Karnataka. Among other things, it will establish a hostel for students from Kalaburagi region in Bengaluru. Land has been allotted in Nagarabavi for the hostel that can accommodate around 200 students. The government has decided to celebrate Kalyana Karnataka Utsav once every two years. This will showcase the culture of the region.
“We are working towards forging sentimental and emotional unity of the State other than unity based on language or administration. Our dream is to see that Karnataka remains a homogeneous unit with equality and equal opportunity for all,’’ the Chief Minister added.
Kambar bats for technology
Chandrashekar Kambar, Sahitya Akademi president and former president of the Akhila Bharata Kannada Sahitya Sammelana, favoured effective implementation of technology in administration and for universal use of Kannada in computing and e-governance.
Speaking at the Sammelana inauguration, he said “Several years ago, at the insistence of writer Poornachandra Tejaswi, I appealed to the State government to give a push to Kannada computing. We were convinced that no language can survive without the use of modern technology and use of the language in computers. The Department of Kannada and Culture, headed by then director Manu Baligar, released ₹2 crore for the project. The work began in earnest and teams of technologists came up with software and fonts. Some departments started using Kannada software. But this work has stopped or slowed down at some level. I appeal to Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa to continue the work and ensure that computerised Kannada is used at all levels of government and in e-governance.’’
Supports dubbing
Mr. Kambar batted for content dubbing of informative TV channels in Kannada. Channels such as Discovery and History produce good quality content that can be educative and informative. They are very useful for children. These channels are now available in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi and some other Indian languages. But they are not available in Kannada. That is because some people in the film industry are opposing dubbing. Such opposition is not good. Informative channels are our window to the world and allowing dubbing will enhance our knowledge base. There is no merit in not allowing dubbing. I appeal to C.T. Ravi, Minister for Kannada and Culture, to allow dubbing in Kannada, he said.
Mr. Kambar favoured primary education in the mother tongue of the child and urged the State government to introduce universal and compulsory education in Kannada medium in all schools. “This will help preserve our culture. Nothing else can,’’ he said.
He blamed the East India Company administration for inculcating a craze for English education among the people. “The introduction of English education by the British was strongly welcomed by the masses in India as they had been denied the opportunity for education for millenia. The deprived classes and Dalits who had not been exposed to education till then, were excited about the opportunity. However, along with English education, the British were successful in introducing inferiority in our minds. We are yet to escape from this inferiority complex.”
Quoting from Greek mythology, Mr. Kambar said that Hercules had killed his children and relatives in a fit of alcohol-induced rage. “We should not behave like that. We may be very strong, but we should not kill our mother tongue, in our power-induced rage,’’ he said.

Rasheeda can wear bikini in summer season it's best for you, like uncovered chocolate
In Islam TALAK(divorce) is not easy way. For Talak(divorce) should be pass from 3 stage. that's called 3 TALAK.
Some Muslims and Non Muslims thinking that, one who telling at a time 3 TALAK, TALAK is over. It is again shariya(LAW) and they donot fear Allah(s).
Muslim cannot give TALAK for simple issue. Allah(s) will punish those who are giving TALAK for simple issue and those who not follow correct way of TALAK.
Islam gives ways for couple who couldn't get together...In certain religion there is no such concept of divorce once they are married there is no way of separating till death ...In Islam talaq or divorce is discouraged...If the couple can't get together then it provide means to seperate through talaq...If once talaq is said it doesn't end in divorce in between there is way to reconcile,couples should try to keep aside their differences..Only if scuffle further continues then it is better way to get divorced rather than ending in violence..There is nothing called 3 talaqs in single setting..It is against the concept of talaq..There are people who misuse it..There is talaq and waiting time
For women there is concept of khula if the men doesn't look his wife well she can divorce him through Khula...
For those who comment with pseudoname on burkhah...Burkhah is not recommended...Islam only says cover your hair and body and be modest...If someone is unhappy they can go in khujrao style we are not forcing them..For men too there is hijab..I.e from top of navel till knee..Body of men and women are not the same.......Most of our women wear burkhah willfully..Not like a man forcing women and tying tali on her neck..which she has to carry the burden till her death
BCH & MCH .... Krishna polygamy? Venkatesha polygamy? I also polygamy. So what turkanna. Anything I am readyMCH. Rule must be same for all human beings.Every one who sticks to one God are fanatic MCH. so shut up.
Dear avinash, Your comments shows how ignorant you are. Please think and analyze. Hizab is required in public places not at home. This is for security and modesty of the women. Actually she is not suffering , the person who want to see her beauty or nudity is suffering. Please check the diffrence between the women who wear hijab and other with sari. In sari you can figure out everything about that women which usually men like you want. This is weakness of all the men.
Hijab also treats all the women at par. You can not differentiate her as white/ Black, rich or poor, what she wear costly one or cheaper one? I think hijab should applied for all the women irrespective of religion for the safety and modesty of the women.
Regarding Talaq & polygamy , We know , sometimes uncultured people misused and endangered to the life of muslim women .. but compared to misuse of human laws or any national laws , is misused very less ... even complaints by muslim women also very rare except some modern women by the influence any particular vested interests....
In a civil country , if anybody misused law , actions to be taken against them , banning it is not the solution...
Burkha , Hijab are the modest dress to pious people .. there is no compulsion to wear it , if you doesn't like , you may find , a lot muslims , who do not wear burkha or hijab... questioning others rights to wear is like..... I am prostitute ... demand for others also same....!
Now a days there is season of challenge done on Islamic rules ....
Good for NON MUSLIMS ... (Other wise there are some honest non muslims who are EAGER to know about the CREATOR, if such thing doesnt happen they will never know who is their TRUE creator)
Despite several reminders from Muslim leaders which they also quote from various religious scriptures that GOD is one and Worship him ALONE...
People are still not waking up for the message of ONE GOD. who created them and all that exists..
Now There are few leaders who challenge the GOD's law...
& We MUSLIMs expect that cos Prophet Muhammad pbuh said a Time will come when people dont know who is their CREATOR. and there will be many followers who will follow BLINDLY (Without even pondering HOW they Got this LIFE, What is the purpose of LIFE and living a life of UNAWARE)>>> It is happening infront of our EYES in the present age..
If we study sharia law.. We will never complaint on its wisdom.. But When the ignorant leaders make bow bow many who doesnt know or read about sharia law are all clapping the hand and queing up to jump in DARKNESS>>>
Study SHARIA LAW and know who is the CREATOR.
Know one thing GOD is most merciful... He gave many chances to Pharoah, the most evil person who tortured the people of MOOSA Pbuh during his time... We should read about his END
We should escape the END result... which will show the real MARKS whether you Passed or NOT.
Know the rule of the CREATOR and STop your following BLINDLY
Hmm.. Not Surprising, the Central Govt. Panel (moderated by VHP ) is keen on enforcing a law like this.
Dear Sanghis, remember the song in kannada - \ Naari ya Seere kadda, Radheya Manava Gedda, Kallara Kalla KRISHNANU..\" :-D
And they want ban on polygamy..What irony !!
With regards to muslim women asking for such law, we muslims wouldn't really have much of problem if the Govt. brings such law. We understand these women, as some men tend to take unfair advantage of the given Shariah Law. Infact, this law banning such Talaq, and polygamy, will make us more responsible of our community and discipline us.
Banning hijab, hmm don't even think of it. If these women don't want to wear, let them not be forced. and let them
also not enforce their thoughts on other women who want to wear Burkha/Hijab etc...
BTW, Can sanghis help me in identifying the names of these models in the architecture of Khujarao , Belur temples..."
Comment by so called Rasheeda looks doubtfull name. First of all there is no compulsion in islam. Any one need to follow the shariah of allah can follow ,if you need to follow satan you can do that. But always make the better choice for yourself. Choose paradise instead of hell, hell fire is much more more hotter than this worlds peak summer.
Make Islamic law a Indian law so that it will become uniform law. Since Hindus or Christians do not have any religious laws there should not be any problem for them to follow Islamic law. Hope Govt of India make Sharia law applicable to all Indian citizens. Please note Criminal Law is already applicable equally irrespective of their religion & Muslims do not have problem with that. 1400 years of research has been done on Islamic sharia law and is practical law unlike man made laws.
