Mangaluru, Feb 12: Being a Muslim girl didn’t stop her from topping the Ramayana exam conducted by Bharatha Sanskriti Prathisthan. The parents of Fathimath Rahila from a remote village in Puttur of Dakshina Kannada district are proud of her achievement.

“She is well-versed with the holy Quran. Now we are happy that she topped state level Ramanaya exam. I am proud of my daughter,” says her father Ibrahim, who works in a factory.

A Class 9 student of Sarvodaya High School, Sulliapadavu village, Rahila scored 93% in the exam held in November 2015. The results were announced recently.

“When we came to know that Rahila is interested in learning Ramayana and Mahabharata we encouraged her,” said Ibrahim, adding that children should learn the essence of all religions.

“From Sarvodaya High School as many as 39 students wrote this state level exam. Students appeared for exams after self-study,” said principal Shivarama HD, adding that none of the students were forced to write the exam.

Cheddis doesnt want the hindus to learn the VEDAS...
They have put up a fear in the people among hindus that it will be cursed if you touch the vedas and this book is only for the brahmanas...
A brahmana who went against such ritual who thinks & ponders said that People will leave the hindu rituals & worshiping idols will diminish, if any Hindus try to learn the VEDAS...
Vedas says NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI>>>That it self is clear that God has no IMAGe. temples are only make money by keeping idols of even animals & human picture. Shame if you dont use your god given intellectual.
In QURAN ALLAH says : Dont fear anybody except him who control even the brahmanas... So read, understand and PONDER on gods word. If U really honest God will Help U & protect U ... TRUST HIM and throw away your FEAR of this so called high class people.

Good to see this. This shows we are tolerant and not communal like other. Love all and leave with peace. Give education to our community girls and make them stand on their legs. Look at our community, because of Dowry there are so many girls are unmarried and Mangalore boys are marrying neighboring state girls for money. Who will stop this. Are our community elders listening to this?

Mangaluru, Nov 24: The original departure time of 11.10 pm was a distant memory for scores of Dammam-bound passengers at Mangaluru International Airport last Friday night, as their Air India Express flight was abruptly cancelled at the eleventh hour, sparking hours of frustration and chaos.

The flight, IX 885, initially scheduled to depart at 11.10 pm on November 22, was subject to two back-to-back reschedules—first pushed to 11.45 pm and then significantly postponed to 1.40 am—before the final, crushing announcement of cancellation was made. For the travellers, many of whom are likely expatriate workers with tight schedules, the last-minute change marked the beginning of a distressing ordeal.

"There was no drinking water, no food, and absolutely no proper guidance. We were left stranded like refugees," complained a stranded passenger.

According to multiple passenger accounts, the airline's ground staff failed to provide adequate support or essential amenities following the cancellation. Complaints poured in about the total absence of drinking water, food provisions, and any reliable guidance from the carrier's representatives. Travellers alleged they were left stranded for a considerable period, with no immediate arrangements or clear communication offered regarding accommodation or alternative travel to send them back home.

The incident has highlighted serious concerns over the carrier's contingency planning and customer service protocols during flight disruptions at one of India's key international gateways. The airline is yet to issue a comprehensive statement addressing the alleged lapse in passenger care.
