Mangalore, November 11: The Konkani translation of 'Tembare', a novel penned in Kannada by M Veerappa Moily, Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, was released at the World Konkani Centre in Shaktinagar, Mangalore, on Sunday.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Moily said that there is a need for the society to recognize the power of the rich Tulu culture. “In the next 15-30 years, India will obtain demographic dividend. India will be a nation of youngsters and helping them retain culture is of utmost importance. Tulu culture can infuse life into the cultural needs of the society”, he said.

Quoting a few references from his novel 'Tembare', Mr. Moily said that the novel begins at Basavakalyana which witnessed a movement emerge. “It was a movement against monoculture and upheld multiculturalism”, he said while also stating that Tuluva people, although illiterates, were propagating theories of reforms. The piece was not written with mere imagination, Mr. Moily said, while informing that he had conducted many interviews and researches, taking guidance from experts.

Ramesh Lad of Goa, who translated the book in Konkani, said that he enjoyed translating the book as it is full of folklore. He also said that he decided to retain the title of the book as 'Tembare' so that new Konkani readers make an attempt to discover what it means out of curiosity.

Basti Vaman Shenoy, Sardar, Vishwa Konkani Sardar, sharing his thoughts on the occasion said that the novel gives a good picture of Tulunadu and the Tulu culture, while informing that he will also make efforts to get the book translated in Malayalam.

Mangaluru, Jan 29: Days after some youths allegedly threatened to 'behead' local MLA and former Karnataka minister U T Khader during a pro-CAA rally here, the Dakshina Kannada district unit of the Congress on Wednesday urged the police to register a case against the culprits.

A video of the incident that went viral on social media showed the youths raising slogans that they will "cut off his limbs and chop off his head if necessary" during the rally organised by the BJP in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act on Monday.

Addressing reporters here, District Congress Committee president Harish Kumar demanded that the police register a case on their own against the youths. He said if prompt action was not taken against the youths seen in the video, the Congress will launch an agitation before the office of the Commissioner of Police.

When asked by reporters about the video, Khader had on Tuesday brushed aside the threat, saying he had not taken it seriously. The MLA had also said he did not file a complaint with police as he had concern for the families of the youths.

New Delhi, Jun 1: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday sought a discussion on advances in telemedicine, the use of "Make in India" products in the healthcare, and the use of IT tools in the medical sector for a healthier society.

Addressing an event at the Rajiv Gandhi Health University in Bengaluru via video conference, he sought a discussion on whether new models can be conceived that make telemedicine popular on a larger scale.

Referring to the "Make in India" program, he said the initial gains made in this field make him optimistic. "Our domestic manufacturers have started production of personal protective equipment and have supplied about one crore PPEs to those in the frontline of fighting COVID-19.

Modi said IT-related tools for healthier societies can be of great help.

"I am sure you have heard of Arogya Setu. Twelve crore health-conscious people have downloaded it. This has been very helpful in the fight against coronavirus," he said.
