Udupi, April 15: Study of ancient Greek literatures had revealed that, those included over 30 per cent of Tulu words. It is the need of the hour to translate Tulu Literature in to English to relink the Tulu language, tradition and culture to the international languages. Or else Tulu tradition will become stagnant, opined renowned folk scholar Dr Vamana Nandavara.

He was speaking after receiving the Bannanje Babu Amin Folk Award, instituted by Kemmalaje Janapada Prakashana, here on Sunday. He also demanded the Universities to provide occassions and forums for the development of Tulu folks.

Renowned `Naagaswar' artist Alevoor Bogra Sherigar was also honoured with the Award.

Veteran scholar Dr Erya Laxminarayana Alva handed over the award and said that to present the folk art in a more luxurious way, it was being given the modern touch. As a result the folk arts had been losing its original spirit.

Study of Tulu literature shall raise above one's caste and shall focus more on field work, he added. President of Kemmalaje Janapada Prakashana Dr Gananath Ekkaru presided over the function. Karnataka Tulu Sahithya Akademy President Umanath Kotian, Entrepreneur Pramod Madhwaraj Malpe, Anil Shetty Moodu Alevoor, Ganesh Amin Malpe were the chief guests.

Assan, Feb 9: Coming down heavily on Amit Shah, JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda said that the Union Home Minister is dreaming of a Hindu nation. Addressing the crowd at an anti-CAA/NRC rally in Hassan, he said that the Home Minister has forgotten that India is a secular, multi-lingual country.

“Shah cannot make India into a Hindu nation. People should come forward and oppose the Acts in the interest of peace and welfare of the nation,” the former PM said, urging secular leaders to unite and fight against the undemocratic policies put forth by the Centre.

“Only secular forces can protect minorities by taking to the streets,” he said. Talking about the controversy around former Union minister Anant Kumar Hegde’s statements, Gowda said BJP leaders are airing anti-national comments, which is disturbing peace. “Muslims, Christians and Hindus should unite to fight against the BJP’s unilateral decisions.”

Bengaluru, Feb 15: The Karnataka Legislative Assembly has decided to set aside two days - March 2 and 3 - for a special discussion over the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Act continues across the country.

Assembly Speaker Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri told media persons here today that the Assembly would act as a platform for legislators to speak about the relevance of the Constitution and its contributions for the last seven decades. He had already held a round of discussions with senior legislators and all have expressed their willingness to participate in the debate. More details of the discussion would be worked out in the next few days after a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee of the House on February 18.

Asked whether it would be possible to have discussions rising above partisan politics in the present scenario, Mr. Kageri said “I have appealed to members to discuss the Constitution beyond the political prism.” Each member would be asked to speak on a specific topic of the Constitution.
