Mangalore, Aug 24: Under the auspices of Shree Siddivinayaka Prathistana and Sarvajanika Ganeshothsava Samithi, Shakti' – a national Bunt women's convention was held at Bunt's Hostel premises in the city on Sunday.
Sadhvi Mathanandamayi of Odiyoor Mutt inaugurated and blessed the day-long convention, in which several hundred women from the Bunt community participated.
Kannada cine actress and MLC Thara Anuradha said that a woman can achieve anything if she had the willpower and necessary encouragement. “Behind a successful man, there will always be a woman. But, there might or might not be a man behind the success of a woman. Character is primarily necessary in a woman; this along with self-esteem and courage will help you achieve your goals,” she said.
In her presidential address, Puttur MLA Shakunthala Shetty said that in the present day, everyone has begun to realise and accept the importance of a matriarchal society. The Bunt community follows the matriarchal social system from yesteryears, which is a contribution to the society, she said, adding that even in the field of politics, a woman should uphold the maternal attitude.
In the context of rising number of crimes against women in the society, she said that women had a responsibility to the society, of teaching their children to respect women and view them their own mothers and sisters. Children should also be inculcated with religious and spiritual values. Young girls in the present age, want to dress and look like boys, however, they still lack the courage to fight for themselves, she said, adding that women's power should focus on changing the society.
Vice-president of Bunt Sangha, Bengaluru Meera Krishnappa said that we witnessed the maximum number of crimes against women in India. Although women are a symbol of endurance, resilience and strength, we have forgotten the power of women. Each woman should recognise the shakti' within her, she said.
An exhibition of antique currency, cultural and heritage household items was also held as part of the convention.
President of the women's convention Ashajyothi Rai welcomed the gathering.
The kidnapped schoolboy was rescued by the police and reunited with his parents. Son of a gift shop owner from Basavanagudi area in Bengaluru, Chirag has reportedly told police that decided to make some quick money to spend on cricket betting and gambling after learning kidnap tricks from the ‘Crime Patrol’. According to police, Chirag reached a private school around 3pm on Tuesday on a Bounce rental bike and zeroed in on a fourth standard student who was walking out of school. He told the boy he was his father's friend and that he required help to search for a relative who had gone missing. The boy believed Chirag and rode pillion on the bike. Chirag then engaged the boy in conversation and learnt about his father's business and got his mobile phone number. He then made a call to the boy's father, demanded Rs 5 lakh and warned him against approaching cops. However, the boy's father alerted Cottonpet police and special teams were formed to crack the case. While Cottonpet inspector Venkatesh TC's squad verified CCTV footage in and around the school, Chamarajpet inspector BG Kumaraswamy's team started tracking the suspect's mobile phone movements. An hour later, the suspect's location was traced to a hotel on the Lavelle Road-St Mark's Road stretch. Police rushed there, rescued the boy and arrested Chirag.
