Scholars shower praise on Moily's literature

September 24, 2011

Mangalore, September 24: Sanskrit University Vice-Chancellor Prof Mallepuram G Venkatesh said that any piece of work should be stimulating rather than rigid. The work should be applicable to all times.

Speaking at a seminar on review of Veerappa Moily's work organised jointly by M Veerappa Moily Sahithyavalokana Samithi in association with Janashakthi Seva Trust here on Friday, he said “a piece of literary work should not be restricted to a language alone. We should not review a work from a point of particular period. The way in which we were reviewing a piece of literary work in the 20th century with that of the 21st century is different. There is a need to change the module used for reviewing a piece of work in the 21st century. There are different faces for a particular period of time in the piece of work,” he said and added “one should review a piece of work amidst multi culture society. There are external sources which influence our understanding of a particular piece of work.”

He said “Moily's works are based on nativity. We can not look at his piece of work in the same angle in which we look at western literature. We study Valmiki Ramayana in Indian perspective without touching anything on the regionality. If we fail to look any literature with native perspective, we will fail to give justice to the piece of work. Moily's work has unravelled culture of Dakshina Kannada in length.”

While delivering a lecture on “Discovery and reforms: Moily's model,” Hampi Kannada University former Vice-Chancellor Dr B A Viveka Rai said reading habit among elected representatives is very less. Hence, they do not have much knowledge on a particular subject. Politics is not for administration alone. Those who do not dream of a model, can not bring in social and administrative reforms. There is a need to unravel the life in village and then bring about reforms.”

He said “many a times, we corrupt young minds by giving unwanted information, thereby sowing the seeds of hatredness. Even to this day, terrorism in the form of threatening the innocent voters of dire consequences if they fail to exercise their franchise to a particular candidate takes place. In the name of caste, religion and money power, an unwritten form of terrorism takes place even to this day. We can not bring in reforms unless we make study on such activities.”

Kuvempu BhashaBharathi Samshodhana Kendra Chairman Dr Pradhan Gurudutt said Moily's Sri Ramayana Mahanweshanam is unique compared to other Ramayana which were written in other languages in the country. He has brought in something new in his writing and discription. Moily's concern towards society is depicted in his work.” Keshava Malagi's 'Munnudi' was released on the occasion. Senior litterateur Dr Hampa Nagarajaiah, CSI Bishop Rev Dr J S Sadananda, Welcome Committee President Dr B A Sherigar and others were present.

Bengaluru, May 17: Left to itself, Karnataka will look to spring back towards normalcy under Lockdown 4.0 as the state government is on standby to resume public transport services from May 18, if the Centre allows it. 

Though KSRTC and BMTC have been preparing for resumption of services, officials in the two corporations told DH that they cannot make a move till the government makes a decision.

Transport Commissioner N Shivakumar said the department will take a decision based on the state government's orders. "The government will take a call on buses as well as taxi and other transport services," he said.

Senior officials in the state government said Deputy Chief Minister and Transport Minister Laxman Savadi has written to Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari seeking a nod for resumption of the services. 

Transport Secretary Gaurav Gupta has written a separate letter to his counterpart in the Union government requesting permission to operate public transport. "The state government wants the services to open. The official has listed out the steps the corporations will take to ensure social distancing other steps that will be taken to check spread of Coronavirus," a source said.

The B S Yediyurappa administration has been bullish on easing lockdown restrictions. 

If the Centre empowers the states to define Lockdown 4.0, Karnataka is likely to do away with the red-orange-green zoning of districts and allow public services to resume, except in COVID-19 containment zones. The government is also likely to redefine its containment strategy by micromanaging localities where COVID-19 cases are reported, without letting life in an entire district get affected. 

The government has already shown willingness to allow hotels and gyms to open after May 17 subject to social distancing norms and restrictions. In fact, the government has proposed to allow the resumption of all economic activities in standalone establishments. The government, however, is not keen on opening malls, theatres, diners and establishments that have centralized air conditioning. 

“Everything depends on the Centre,” Deputy Chief Minister CN Ashwath Narayan said. “Our only stand is that the red zone should be treated at par with the other zone when it comes to relaxation.”

Mangaluru, July 29: Justifying the transfer of Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh, district in-charge minister Kota Shrinivas Poojari has accused Mangaluru MLA U T Khader of politicizing the issue. 

The IAS officer was transferred by the Karnataka government on July 28, a day after a saffron activist issued a death threat against her on social media after she warned of legal action against the miscreants who attack cattle traders.

Condemning the development, Mr Khader had tweeted that the state government has punished the deputy commissioner instead of punishing the culprit, who issued death threat.

Responding to Mr Khader’s tweet, Mr Poojari said that the transfer of the officer was on administrative ground. “It is unfortunate that Khader politicized a transfer carried out by the government on administrative ground. This is not Khader’s time to protect any accused,” tweeted Mr Poojari. 

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Khader was the district in-charge minister of Dakshina Kannada before Mr Poojari taking over the position. 

Meanwhile, police has arrested a person in connection with the death threat against the IAS officer.
