Mangalore, Apr 21: Rubbishing the allegations lodged against the Brahmins of having introduced untouchability, Pejawar Mutt Seer Vishwesha Theertha Swamiji said that the practice existed way before the Brahmins came into picture and hence it was not a contribution of the Brahminical classes.

Speaking at 'Brahmana Jagrathi Sammelana' programme organized by the Brahmana Federation, Mangalore, at 'Sanghaniketana' in the city on Sunday the seer claimed that he has evidence to justify that the practice existed in the society in South India even before Brahmins came into the picture.

“Some so called intellectuals are attributing all evils in the society to Brahmins. Untouchability is not a contribution of Brahmins. I can prove that caste system existed in South India much before,” he asserted terming the present reservation system as a 'challenge'. “It is unfortunate that talented Brahmins are losing out on opportunities because of reservation,” he said.

'We are one'

Stating that although Brahmins are divided into several groups in coastal districts such as Shivalli, Havyaka, Kota, Sthanika, Koteshwara, Chitpavan, Deshastha and so on, he maintained that Brahmins are all one.

“We are all the sons of 'Vedamaathe'. The different philosophies like the Dwaitha, Advaitha, Vishistadvaitha are like branches of a tree. The Vedic Dharma is the root and we all need to water the roots, not the branches. Fingers come together and form a fist. A fist can either be used to knock someone down or hold something firmly. Brahmins do not knock others or hurt others. We all must come together like a fist to hold on to our culture firmly,” the Swamiji advised.

It is the responsibility of Brahmins to work for the betterment of the 'Hindu Samaj' and humanity as a whole, the Swamiji said. “It is Brahmins who need to stand up for Hindus and provide guidance to all, including Dalits. It is their responsibility”, he said.

Dr. P Sadananda Mayya, Propreitor, Mayya's Beverages and Foods Pvt Ltd, Bangalore, presided over the programme.

Vishwaprasanna Teertha Swamiji, Pejawar Mutt, Jitakamananda Swamiji, Ramakrishna Mutt, Mangalore, were also present.

Mangaluru, May 13: Kannadigas in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have sought additional flights to return to Karnataka during a video conference with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa here on Tuesday.

Noting that most of the ex-pats in UAE were from the coastal region, they urged the state government to ensure that most of these flights land in the Mangalore International Airport.

Many Kannadigas in the UAE were left unemployed due to the lockdown. “Many of them do not have the means to return to Karnataka and the state government should aid them,” representatives of various Kannadiga ex-pat groups urged the CM.

Yediyurappa said that the government has made all arrangements to bring back the ex-pats, and assured to fulfil all their demands.

Bengaluru, Jan 18: The Karnataka state government has reportedly initiated the process to ban organizations like Popular Front of India (PFI).

State Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday evening said that instructions have been given to the police and officers concerned to gather information about the activities of such organisations so that necessary inputs can be sent to the Center.

He made it clear that the action would not be limited against PFI and SDFI (Social Democratic Front of India), rather any organisation which is involved in such activities, would meet the same fate.
