Madikeri, July 28: Expressing concern over the adverse impact of globalisation, Kannada and Culture department Commissioner Manu Baligar said that it was the responsibility of today's generation to preserve and promote their regional art, literature, language and culture.

He was speaking after inaugurating 'Beary Sahitya-Saamskrithika Sammelana” organised by Karnataka Beary Sahitya Academy at Kaveri Hall, here.

Mr Baligar said that the regional languages and culture across the world were on the verge of extinction due to the impact of globalisation.

“India is the land of thousand cultures and practices. However, there is a feeling of unity despite all the differences, as Indian culture has the power to unite all”, he opined.

Presiding over the programme, Academy President M B Abdul Rahman said it was unwise to restrict Beary Academy to a particular religion.

K M Ibrahim, former MLA, Rani Machayya, President, Karnataka Kodava Sahitya Academy addressed the gathering.

A Beary poets' meet was also held under the presidentship of B A Shamsuddin Madikeri.

M C Nanayya, MLC presided over the valedictory function held in the evening. T P Ramesh, President, Kodagu district Kannada Sahitya Parishad and G Rajendra, Editor in Chief of 'Shakti', a Madikeri based daily newspaper addressed the gathering.

Cultural programs such as Beary Kawwali and Beary folk songs enthralled the gathering.

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 3: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday wrote letters to 11 Chief Ministers including Arvind Kejriwal--Delhi and Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal-- pointing out apprehensions that had arisen among large sections of society consequent to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) - 2019.

In his letter, the Chief Minister said "the need of the hour is unity among all Indians who wish to protect and preserve our cherished values of democracy and secularism."

People from various cross-sections of the society irrespective of any difference they might have, need to stand united in preserving the basic tenets of our polity which form the cornerstone of Indian democracy, he added.

"We are sure that our unity in diversity, which has stood the test of times will ultimately emerge stronger. Kerala has decided to address the apprehensions about NRC and that preparation of NPR will lead to NRC by staying all activities relating to NPR in the State," Mr Vijayan said.

In this regard, the Kerala Legislative Assembly had passed the resolution on December 31, 2019, expressing its concern regarding the impact the CAA will have on the nation's secular credentials, he said.

"The resolution requested the Central Government to repeal the CAA, 2019. States, which have the opinion that CAA should be repealed can also consider similar steps so that it will be an eye-opener to the proponents of the CAA and the NRC," the Chief Minister pointed out.
