“Indians are failing to uphold the principles of Hindu religion,” lamented Dr K Marulasiddappa, the former chairman of the Karnataka Nataka Academy and an exponent of drama.

He was speaking at the launching ceremony of the book Hindudharma Pathanada Hadiyalli ', the Kannada translation of Dr S Bhimmappa 's English book India Towards Islam ' by Prof G Sharanappa in Bangalore.

“The book is a knowledge bank on Hindu religion. We have to look into the past to understand the current scenario of the country,” he said.

He went on to claim that those who wave the Hinduism 's flag are the ones who are responsible for its downfall in India.

“The biggest reason for the downfall of Hinduism is caste system. If it is eliminated, the religion will prosper. Reservation system should be given a second thought. If the reservation increases, there is a problem for Hindus,” he said.

Stating that Islam is becoming popular, he said that by 2017, India will have 20.2 per cent Muslims, by 2151 it would have increased to 31 per cent and 2201 they would be a majority,” he said.

OK let's believe hinduism is fake, but why you guys don't teach quran in right way to terrorist.

Give me any verse from gita which say kill those non-bealiver who does not believe krishna. It's not your duty to kill innocent people at all.

You guys are already brainwashed, hence you never get what is humanity. In daily prayer, you don't seek help from GOD, you just say only allah should be worship, other are fake. It is not prayer, is it making someone into box, which he will never get out of it in whole life.

i take pity on wrong beliefs for Hinduism. The best available books on management,maths,politics,economics,philosophy,exercise,yoga are the parts of Hindu religion. The oldest religion in the world.

The people in the world are highly motivated and inspired by hindu religion.

muslims are safe only in countries where they are in minority, wherever they are in majority they are nuisance to themselves as well as others, take any country for example. Imagine if india was muslim country, muslims will make life hell for themselves.

No body will worship a sadist god who will burn some one eternally in hell for their finite crimes. No one believes that soul which has no birth and death is extracted from living , given a new body at time of judgement day and eternally lives in heaven or hell.

No one believes in a god who comes here and there and talk nonsense to so called angels and prophets , but can be heard only , not seen. No one believes in a god who is somewhere up above only but not everywhere or beyond space and time limitations.

Mangaluru, Dec 3: A group of Congress workers gathered at the Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday to welcome AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, but the reception quickly turned into a display of support for Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

Venugopal arrived in the city to participate in the centenary commemoration of the historic dialogue between Mahatma Gandhi and Narayana Guru. The event, organised by the Sivagiri Mutt, Varkala, in association with the Mangalore University Sri Narayana Guru Study Chair, is being held on the university’s Konaje campus.

KPCC general secretary Mithun Rai and several party workers had assembled at the airport to receive Venugopal. However, the moment he stepped out, workers began raising slogans backing Shivakumar.

The university programme will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

This show of support comes just a day after Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar would lead the government “when the high command decides.” The chief minister made the comment after a breakfast meeting at Shivakumar’s residence—another public display of camaraderie between the two leaders amid ongoing attempts by the party high command to downplay their leadership rivalry.

Udupi, Dec 1: A horrific case of alleged rape has unfolded in Udupi, where a worker from a Hindutva organisation, previously arrested and released on bail for harassing a young woman, is now accused of waylaying and sexually assaulting her.

The arrested individual has been identified as Pradeep Poojary (26), a member of the Hindu Jagarana Vedike's Nairkode unit in Perdur.

Poojary had allegedly been relentlessly harassing the young woman, pressuring her to marry him. When she bravely stood up to him and refused his demands, she filed a formal complaint at the Hiriyadka police station. He was subsequently arrested in that initial harassment case but was later granted bail.

According to police reports, driven by the same malicious grudge, Poojary allegedly intercepted the woman again on November 29. While she was walking through a deserted area, the accused is claimed to have threatened her by grabbing her neck. When she again refused to marry him, he allegedly proceeded to rape her.

The survivor immediately informed her family about the traumatic assault. Following this, her parents lodged a complaint at the Udupi women’s police station.

Police arrested Poojary again and produced him before the court. He has since been remanded to judicial custody.

Puttur: The long-cherished dream of a government medical college in Puttur has moved a decisive step closer to reality, with the Karnataka State Finance Department granting its official approval for the construction of a new 300-bed hospital.

Puttur MLA Ashok Kumar Rai announced the crucial development to reporters on Monday, confirming that the official communication from the finance department was issued on November 27. This 300-bed facility is intended to be the cornerstone for the establishment of the government medical college, a project announced in the state budget.

Fast-Track Implementation

The MLA outlined an aggressive timeline for the project:

•    A Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the hospital is expected to be ready within 45 days.

•    The tender process for the construction will be completed within two months.

Following the completion of the tender process, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is scheduled to lay the foundation stone for the project.

"Setting up a medical college in Puttur is a historical decision by the Congress government in Karnataka," Rai stated. The project has an estimated budget allocation of Rs 1,000 crore for the medical college.

Focus on Medical Education Department

The MLA highlighted a key strategic move: requesting the government to implement the hospital construction through the Medical Education Department instead of the Health and Family Welfare Department. This is intended to streamline the entire process of establishing the full medical college, ensuring the facilities—including labs, operation theatres, and other necessary infrastructure—adhere to the strict guidelines set by the Medical Council of India (MCI). The proposed site for the project is in Bannur.

Rai also took the opportunity to address political criticism, stating that the government has fulfilled its promise despite "apprehensions" and "mocking and criticising" from opposition parties who had failed to take similar initiatives when they were in power. "Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has kept his word," he added.
