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: The Vokkaligara Sangha on Thursday issued a stern warning to the Congress, saying the party could face serious electoral repercussions if Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar is not appointed as Chief Minister.

The warning follows the public backing of Shivakumar’s chief ministerial ambition by top Vokkaliga pontiff Nirmalanandanatha Swami, who urged the Congress high command to honor his claim.

“The community supported Congress in the 2023 Assembly elections only because Shivakumar had a real chance to become CM. If he is cheated, we’ll teach the party a big lesson,” said newly elected Sangha president L. Srinivas. He added that Vokkaligas would organize protests under the guidance of community leaders.

General Secretary C.G. Gangadhar pointed out that Congress won more seats in the Vokkaliga-dominated Old Mysuru region due to Shivakumar’s influence, adding, “If Congress wants to retain power, Shivakumar should be made the CM.”

Outgoing president Kenchappa Gowda emphasized Shivakumar’s contribution to Congress’ victory. “Our community voted for Congress thinking he would become CM. Siddaramaiah has also served the party well, but Shivakumar should now be given a chance,” he said.

Former general-secretary Konappa Reddy appealed to Sonia and Rahul Gandhi to recognize Shivakumar’s loyalty and service, saying, “Congress is known to keep its promises. We hope it won’t break the promise made to him.”

Mangaluru, Nov 26: Mangaluru East police have registered a case following a sophisticated online fraud where a 57-year-old local resident was allegedly cheated out of ₹13.4 lakh after being targeted on Facebook.

The scam began in February when the complainant, while browsing Facebook reels, was contacted by a woman identifying herself as "Lillian Mary George" from London. After establishing a chat relationship, the woman claimed she would visit India in November and bring a significant sum of money.

The trap was sprung on November 15, when the victim received a call from a woman named "Sonali Gupta," who claimed Lillian had arrived at Mumbai International Airport but was detained by customs. The fraudsters convinced the man that Lillian was carrying £25,000 (about ₹26 lakh) in traveller’s cheques and 1 kg of gold (valued at around ₹30 lakh).

Under the pretense of clearing these items, the victim was asked to make numerous online transfers between November 15 and 18 for various bogus charges, including:

•    "Pounds exchange registration"
•    "Customs declaration issues"
•    "Discount charges"
•    "Money-laundering charges"

Believing the fictitious story, the complainant transferred the cumulative sum of ₹13.4 lakh to various bank accounts provided by the fraudsters. He realised he was cheated when the culprits later promised a refund within two days but stopped answering his calls. The Mangaluru East police are now investigating the case, which highlights the continuing threat of transnational cyber fraud using social engineering and promises of fictitious wealth.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday announced that he will convene a high-level meeting in New Delhi with senior leaders — including Rahul Gandhi, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar — to resolve the escalating leadership turmoil in Karnataka and “put an end to the confusion.”

Kharge said the discussions would focus on the way forward for the ruling party, as rumours of a possible leadership change continue to swirl. The speculation has intensified after the Congress government crossed the halfway mark of its five-year term on November 20, reviving talk of an alleged 2023 “power-sharing agreement” between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar.

“After reaching Delhi, I will call three or four important leaders and hold discussions. Once we talk, we will decide how to move ahead and end this confusion,” Kharge told reporters in Bengaluru, according to PTI.

When asked specifically about calling Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar to Delhi, he responded: “Certainly, we should call them. We will discuss with them and settle the issue.”

He confirmed that Rahul Gandhi, the Chief Minister, the Deputy Chief Minister and other senior members would be part of the deliberations. “After discussing with everyone, a decision will be made,” he said.

Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah held a separate strategy meeting at his Bengaluru residence with ministers and leaders seen as his close confidants, including G. Parameshwara, Satish Jarkiholi, H.C. Mahadevappa, K. Venkatesh and K.N. Rajanna.
Signalling calm, the Chief Minister told reporters, “Will go to Delhi if the high command calls.”

Shivakumar echoed a similar stance, saying he too would head to the national capital if summoned by the party leadership.
