“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?

Udupi: The Malpe Police have arrested two men from Uttar Pradesh for allegedly sharing classified information related to Indian Navy vessels with individuals in Pakistan, posing a serious threat to national security.

According to a complaint filed by the CEO of Udupi Cochin Shipyard, Malpe—an institution under the Union Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways—the prime accused, Rohit (29), was working as an insulator through subcontractor M/S Shushma Marine Pvt Ltd. He had earlier served at Cochin Shipyard Limited in Kochi, Kerala, where naval ships are under construction.

Udupi SP Hariram Shankar said the accused had unlawfully shared, via WhatsApp, confidential identification numbers of Navy-related ships and other classified details while working in Kerala, allegedly for illegal gains.

After joining the Malpe shipyard unit, Rohit reportedly continued collecting sensitive information through a friend in Kochi and circulated it to unauthorised individuals, violating national security protocols and potentially endangering India’s sovereignty, unity, and integrity.

Based on the complaint, Malpe Police registered a case under Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Sections 3 and 5 of the Official Secrets Act, 1923.

A police team led by Karkala Subdivision Assistant Superintendent of Police Harsha Priyamvada—along with PSI Anil Kumar D, ASI Harish, and PC Ravi Jadhav—conducted the investigation and arrested the two accused, identified as Rohit (29) and Santri (37), both residents of Sultanpur district, Uttar Pradesh.

The duo was produced before the court, which remanded them in judicial custody till December 3. Further investigation is in progress.
