State-sponsored terrorism most dangerous: Dr Shridhar

February 27, 2011

Mangalore, February 27: Using the general assumption that 'all terrorists are Muslims', to achieve their fanatic ends the advocates of 'Hindutva' in this country have resorted to violence and terrorism without any hesitation, said Dr Shridhar, activist and HOD of English, Vijaya College Bangalore.

Speaking on the topic “Terrorism: Myth Exposed”, at a seminar organised at Don Bosco Hall here as part of first ever state level conference of Campus Front of India (CFI) on Sunday, he stated that Hindutva is among those dangerous terrorist ideologies, which do not have any concern for human values.

“In the sense, some terrorist organisations may possess some kind of positive thoughts, but the ultimate aim of 'Hindutva' terrorism is re-establishing the caste based political system in the subcontinent through waging war against democracy”, he said adding that all types of terrorism are condemnable.

Expressing grave concern over the tactics of 'Hindutva' terrorists in India, he said that its elements have succeeded to form a dangerous nexus with some high ranking military officers like Lt. Col. Shrikant Prasad Purohit, and even a 'terrorist state' like Israel.

Dr Shridhar also expressed frustration over the negligence of the Indian government towards the anti-social and illegal activities of the leaders propounding Hindutva, which may lead to destruction. “It is very sad that no one bothered about the attitude of BJP chief Nithin Gadkari, who urged Isreali military and police to provide training to Hindutva activists,” he lamented.

State Terrorism is most dangerous

Dr Shridhar said that there is a common misconception that terrorism is confined only to disgruntled and misled people, while the terrorism being unleashed by rulers of the states and countries on their own people is the most dangerous one.

“No terrorist organisation can beat the cruelty of governments of United States of America and Israel,” he said adding: “However, this state sponsored terrorism has been disguised under various names such as “war on terror” and “fight for democracy”.

Constitution sidelined

Speaking on the topic “Six decades of Indian Democracy”, popular columnist and Human Rights activist Shivasundar said that the successive governments of the country have brushed aside the values of Indian constitution, which upholds equality and Justice.

Indian politicians have well understood how to manipulate the large number of middleclass people and students without fulfilling their needs and rights. “Our rulers have understood that they cannot survive if they face the anger of common people and students and hence they successfully planned to push them into corruption,” he said.

“If the common man of a country fails to question the rulers, there will be no hurdle for the latter to sideline the constitution and act according to their will”, he said.

Activist Pattabhirama Somayaji spoke on “Neoliberal Assault on Education”, while CFI Central Advisory Committee Chairman Anees Ahmed, delivered keynote address on “Where India is heading?”

That is because the e-cigs are much more efficient in keeping the blood nicotine

This should not be a problem since as longg as they have

KPCC chief lodges plaint against BJP leaders who used virus for communal cause

News Network

April 11,2020

Bengaluru, Apr 11: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D K Shivakumar on Saturday lodged a complaint with Director General and Inspector General of Police Praveen Sood seeking action against four BJP leaders for their alleged communal statements.

In his petition, Mr Shivakumar cited remarks made by BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje, former union minister Anant kumar Hegde, MP Renukacharya and MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal were ''vituperative statements'' which were offences under Section 153A of the IPC.

The Congress leader alleged that the four leaders ''joined in a criminal conspiracy to create enmity between Hindus and the minority community.''

Karnataka BJP taunts Muslim women, asks them to keep document safe for NPR

News Network

February 8,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 8: The BJP on Saturday drew flak on Twitter for taking a swipe at Muslim women who appear to be standing in a line to vote in Delhi's assembly polls. ""Kaagaz Nahi Dikayenge Hum" ! ! ! Keep the documents safe, you will need to show them again during NPR exercise (sic)," the party's Karnataka Twitter handle posted using the hashtag #DelhiPolls2020.

The video, which appears to have been taken from one of the polling booths in Delhi on Saturday, shows burqa-clad women flashing their voter ID cards. While the threatening tone of the tweet is unmissable, the tweet contradicts the government's statement that no person needs to submit any documents during the house-to-house survey for updating the National Population Register (NPR) and that information provided by individuals would be accepted and recorded.

The tweet has added to the prevailing confusion regarding the NPR exercise in the country.

The NPR is a list of "usual residents" of the country. In 2010, the data for NPR was collected along with the house-listing phase of the Census of India 2011. The data was updated in 2015 by conducting a door-to-door survey.

Currently, it has been decided to update the NPR along with the house-listing phase of Census 2021 during April to September 2020 in all the states/union territories except Assam.

Most of the opposition parties see NPR as a prelude to the contentious National Register of Citizens (NRC), which has been opposed by even NDA allies like the JD(U). The NPR questionnaire asked details like the birthplace of parents. In combination with the recently amended citizenship law, protesters fear that the registry might be eventually used for NRC.

As a result, people, predominantly Muslims, have hit the streets as India witnesses one of the most widespread civilian unrest of recent times.

Birders ‘Walk the Chirp’ in Manipal

coastaldigest.com news network

February 3,2020

A motley group of as many as 150 birders ‘walked the chirp’ in search of their feathered friends in and around the countryside of Manipal. The occasion was the 10th Edition of Manipal Bird Day organised by Manipal Birders Group on Sunday, February 2nd, 2020.

The day began ‘Bird Walk’ from Hotel Sheela Sagar (Opposite MIT campus) at 6:30 a.m. The birders divided themselves in smaller groups of 10-12 members and followed 13 different trails which took them through different terrains like hills, plains, paddy fields and wetlands. The idea was to sight as many birds as possible and record their presence in the region.

When the walk ended at about 10:00 a.m., the different groups have recorded a total of 125 species of birds, which was a bit lesser than the sighting of the yester years. “The 10th edition this year has seen a very good growth of interest among people. At the same time a decline has been seen in the bird species sighted compared to previous years,” said one of the organisers. Some of the rare birds sighted were Indian Pitta, Oriental Turtle Dove, Fork-Tailed Drongo Cuckoo, Orange Breasted Green Pigeon, Eurasian Marsh Harrier and Malabar Pied Hornbill.

The bird walk was followed with an interaction session at KMC Food Court and MAHE Vice Chancellor Dr. H. Vinod Bhat presided over the function. He felicitated six people who actively participated recently in a rescue mission of abandoned birds in Manipal.

A program then continued with a talk on ‘Ethical Photography’ by Dhruvam Desai, final year student of MIT, Manipal. This was followed by ‘Backyard Birding’ with Shubha Bhat from IISc Bangalore. She spoke on different ways to feed the birds with water using different materials for bird baths. “I have recorded 120 species of birds from bird baths in my garden,” she said. She encouraged the participants to have bird baths in their gardens or flats which will help quench the thirst of these little winged wonders during summer.

The participants involved themselves actively in the interaction sessions. The event was accompanied with an art exhibition titled ‘Feathered Jewels’ by Aditya Bhat. He presented around 18 paintings all from his memory of birding encounters.

Participation in Manipal Bird Day was open to all and entry was free.

MANIPAL BIRD DAY

Manipal Bird Day is an annual event dedicated to celebrating birds in Manipal. This day long event brings together a large number of birders from Manipal, Udupi, Mangalore, Mysore, Bangalore, Davangere and other places. Around 150-200 people gather and are split into different teams. They visit the assigned regions and count as many birds as possible. This non competitive event focuses on spreading awareness regarding the diverse avifauna around us. Turn out for this event has been increasing from 3 people to 200 in last 10 years. This is the 10th edition of Manipal Bird Day.

MANIPAL BIRDERS CLUB

Manipal Birders Club started as a Facebook group after the release of the first edition of “A Birders Handbook to Manipal” to share information about the latest sightings. It is now a formal group of over 500 like-minded members that meets at least once a week to go on bird walks. It is now a large birders community and a medium to organize events, bird walks and discussions about birds and sightings.

The next step would be to involve a higher number of local and young birders who will dictate the change in environment around the town in the coming years. With the co operation of Zoology and natural sciences students and other nature enthusiasts and faculty of different colleges weekly birding sessions have been conducted to involve and encourage more and more people to bird and get connected to the nature and to try to understand the changes happening around us, the media release issued by the group said.
