Scholars shower praise on Moily's literature

September 24, 2011

Mangalore, September 24: Sanskrit University Vice-Chancellor Prof Mallepuram G Venkatesh said that any piece of work should be stimulating rather than rigid. The work should be applicable to all times.

Speaking at a seminar on review of Veerappa Moily's work organised jointly by M Veerappa Moily Sahithyavalokana Samithi in association with Janashakthi Seva Trust here on Friday, he said “a piece of literary work should not be restricted to a language alone. We should not review a work from a point of particular period. The way in which we were reviewing a piece of literary work in the 20th century with that of the 21st century is different. There is a need to change the module used for reviewing a piece of work in the 21st century. There are different faces for a particular period of time in the piece of work,” he said and added “one should review a piece of work amidst multi culture society. There are external sources which influence our understanding of a particular piece of work.”

He said “Moily's works are based on nativity. We can not look at his piece of work in the same angle in which we look at western literature. We study Valmiki Ramayana in Indian perspective without touching anything on the regionality. If we fail to look any literature with native perspective, we will fail to give justice to the piece of work. Moily's work has unravelled culture of Dakshina Kannada in length.”

While delivering a lecture on “Discovery and reforms: Moily's model,” Hampi Kannada University former Vice-Chancellor Dr B A Viveka Rai said reading habit among elected representatives is very less. Hence, they do not have much knowledge on a particular subject. Politics is not for administration alone. Those who do not dream of a model, can not bring in social and administrative reforms. There is a need to unravel the life in village and then bring about reforms.”

He said “many a times, we corrupt young minds by giving unwanted information, thereby sowing the seeds of hatredness. Even to this day, terrorism in the form of threatening the innocent voters of dire consequences if they fail to exercise their franchise to a particular candidate takes place. In the name of caste, religion and money power, an unwritten form of terrorism takes place even to this day. We can not bring in reforms unless we make study on such activities.”

Kuvempu BhashaBharathi Samshodhana Kendra Chairman Dr Pradhan Gurudutt said Moily's Sri Ramayana Mahanweshanam is unique compared to other Ramayana which were written in other languages in the country. He has brought in something new in his writing and discription. Moily's concern towards society is depicted in his work.” Keshava Malagi's 'Munnudi' was released on the occasion. Senior litterateur Dr Hampa Nagarajaiah, CSI Bishop Rev Dr J S Sadananda, Welcome Committee President Dr B A Sherigar and others were present.

Bengaluru, Mar 6: All the arrested in a case of sedition filed over a school play in Karnataka's Bidar have been granted anticipatory bail by a court that said the case lacked enough basis.

The play, themed on protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), "has not caused any disharmony in the society", said the district and sessions court in Bidar.

The play, performed in January by the children of prestigious Shaheen School, landed in trouble when a sedition complaint was filed over an 11-year-old girl's lines - enacting an elderly woman, she said if anyone asked for documents she would hit them with slippers.

That led to a sedition case and the police questioning children, teachers and the school management over many rounds.

"The drama has not caused any disharmony in the society. Considering all the circumstances, I am of the opinion that the ingredients of Section 124A of IPC (Sedition) are prima facie lacking," said the court.

Five members of the school management team have been granted protection from arrest. Earlier, the head teacher and the mother of the student who spoke the dialogue were sent to custody, but on other charges including the abetment of an offence. They were not accused of sedition. They were later granted bail.

The repeated questioning of young students and the arrest of the widowed mother of a student caused a huge uproar in the town.

An order is expected soon on the bail application in another sedition case in Karnataka, against three Kashmiri students. The students, who were studying in Hubbali in north Karnataka, are facing charges for reportedly using pro-Pakistani slogans in an online post. The Hubbali Bar Association had asked its members not to represent the students. Lawyers from Bengaluru who went to Hubbali represent the students were heckled.

On Thursday, a team of lawyers from different districts again went to Hubballi and were provided police protection. BT Venkatesh, one of the lawyers, said he had a meeting with bar association members and that the matter was sorted out. The students have applied for bail and an order is expected next week.

Bengaluru, Mar 18: Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar on Wednesday met the Director-General of Police in Bengaluru and demanded police protection for Madhya Pradesh Congress MLAs and the removal of BJP workers from the hotel in Bengaluru, where the legislators are currently lodged.

"The (Madhya Pradesh) legislators have come here and have requested police protection, that is all. Let the police give them protection, our candidate (Digvijaya Singh) has come, let him meet the legislators. Why are BJP workers protecting them? We know that they are under threat and hence we need to vacate them (BJP workers)," Shivakumar told reporters here after the meeting.

"We will give protection to our men and that is why we are telling them they cannot stop us. They should be in a free and fair position. I have communicated to DGP that BJP needs to vacate," he added.

Earlier today, Congress' Rajya Sabha candidate from Madhya Pradesh and former chief minister Digvijaya Singh was placed under preventive arrest after he sat on a dharna near Ramada Hotel here, allegedly for not being allowed by police to meet the 21 Congress rebel MLAs lodged in a hotel.

"I am a Rajya Sabha candidate from Madhya Pradesh, voting is scheduled for March 26. My MLAs have been kept here, they want to speak to me, their phones have been snatched, the police is not letting me speak to them saying there is a security threat to MLAs," Singh told reporters.

Singh who sat on the dharna with a face mask on said: "We were expecting them to come back, but when we saw they're being held back, messages came from their families...I personally spoke to five MLAs, they said they're captive, phones snatched away, there is Police in front of every room. They're being followed 24/7," Singh said.

The development comes amid the political crisis in Madhya Pradesh after the exit of Jyotiraditya Scindia from the Congress party.

Scindia's departure was followed by 22 Congress MLAs resigning from the party as well as from the state legislative Assembly.

The resignation of these MLAs has left the Kamal Nath government below the majority mark.

Bengaluru, Jul 10: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Thursday condemned the decision of the HRD Ministry to drop chapters on citizenship, secularism and federalism from Class 11 political science syllabus, stating that this will "deprive a generation of students from understanding the important pillars of Indian democracy".

"I strongly condemn the decision of @HRDMinistry to drop chapters on citizenship, secularism and federalism. This will deprive a generation of students from understanding the important pillars of Indian democracy. #Stop Saffronisation Of Education," Siddaramaiah tweeted.

The Congress leader further alleged that BJP does not believe in the principles of citizenship, secularism and federalism.

"Chapters on citizenship, secularism and federalism are dropped from Class 11 Pol Science. syllabus. Does this explain something? Yes, it explains that @BJP4India doesn't believe in these principles and validates its past behaviour," he said in another tweet.

Earlier in the day, Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank rejected criticism over alleged conspiracy in CBSE's decision to reduce the syllabus of schools due to COVID-19 outbreak and urged the critics to "leave politics out of education".

"There has been a lot of uninformed commentary on the exclusion of some topics from #CBSESyllabus. The problem with these comments is that they resort to sensationalism by connecting topics selectively to portray a false narrative," the Union Minister tweeted.

"It is our humble request:#Education is our sacred duty towards our children. Let us leave politics out of education and make our politics more educated," he added.

The CBSE has revised the syllabus for the classes IX to XII during the academic session 2020-21 in the wake of the situation created by COVID-19.

In a circular issued to all the heads of the institutions affiliated to it, the CBSE had said that the revision of syllabi has been done due to the extraordinary situation prevailing in the country and different parts of the world.
