Beary Academy hosts interactive meet on language, culture and literature

March 6, 2011

Mangalore, March 6: An interactive programme on "Beary language, literature and culutre" (Beary Baase, Sahithya pinne Samskrithi) was held on Sunday at Hotel Srinivas Auditorium here under the auspices of Karnataka Beary Sahithya Academy.

BA Muhammad Haneef, Working President of Akhila Bharatha Beary Parishath said the bearys should not practice unislamic culture in the name of protecting the beary culture.

He said the bearys should shun abusive words to bring more dignity to the language.

“Few Bearys refer to non Muslims in singular which forces them to view Beary as a culture-less language (Baase Daanthina Baase)”

Use the word “Marchiro” (passed away) as a substitute to “Chaththro” (dead) while referring to deaths of non-Muslims, he said.

He said Bearys should start using respectful and meaningful words, so that Beary language would diversify and spread beyond the boundaries.

Abdul Azeez Baikampady, President of Beary Kalaranga said Beary is not only confined to Muslim community. He expressed his concern over declining Beary culture among the people.

Bearys used to feed rotis to crows after performing arathi type rituals over individual's head on “Worst Wednesday” (Vodkatho Podnase) in order to keep away bad omen. “But you cannot see these types of customs nowadays,” he said.

The unique hospitality tradition of Bearys is also on the decline while wedding ceremony has become just a formal procedure, he regretted.

In his presidential address, MB Abdul Rahman, Chairman of Beary Sahithya Academy said since its inception, academy has tried to restore and instill the essence of Beary language, culture in the minds of 10,000 children across the state.

About two dozen participants interacted and put across their opinions and suggested many ideas including reservation for linguistic minorities, Academy's programme and progress etc.

PA Rahim, Former President, Bantwal Taluk Kendra Beary Sahithya Parishath, Bashir Baikampady, President of Beary Sahithya, Samskrithika Sangha, Umarabba, Registrar, Beary Sahithya Academy and others were among those present.
