Kalhanas Rajatarangini makes it to UNESCO list

Srinagar, Nov 6:Kalhanas 12th-century chronicle of Kashmir, Rajatarangini, has been inscribed on UNESCOs Memory of the World Asia-Pacific Regional Register, bringing international recognition to a landmark work of historical writing whose manuscript is preserved in Srinagar. Two other important Indian works, the Mahabharata and KautilyasArthashastra, have also been included in the regional register, officials said. The decision was taken at the 11th session of UNESCOs Memory of the World Committee for Asia and the Pacific (MOWCAP), held in Jakarta, Indonesia. The Union Ministry of Culture announced the inscriptions on Thursday through Press Information Bureau, sharing photographs of the UNESCO certificates on social media. The Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) prepared the nomination dossiers for all three works, playing a key role in securing their inclusion, officials said. With the latest additions, Indias entries in the Asia-Pacific Regional Register have risen to six. The countrys earlier inscriptions, made in 2024, include illustrated manuscripts of TulsidassRamcharitmanas, a 15th-century manuscript of the Panchatantra and Sahrdayaloka-Locana, a work on Indian literary aesthetics. The inscription of Rajatarangini is particularly significant for Kashmir, as the manuscript recognised by UNESCO is preserved at the Oriental Research Library in the Sri Pratap Singh Library Complex in Srinagar. Written in Sanskrit by Kalhana between 1148 and 1149 CE, Rajatarangini is among the earliest systematic historical chronicles of the Indian subcontinent. Comprising 7826 verses divided into eight books, known as Tarangas, it records the history of Kashmirs rulers and dynasties, political developments and socio-cultural life. The chronicle traces Kashmirs history from its legendary beginnings to the reign of King Jayasimha in the 12th century. It is distinguished by Kalhanas efforts to examine historical events through earlier accounts, available sources and critical assessment, rather than relying solely on royal genealogies. The manuscript was written in the Sharada script on traditional Kashmiri birch bark, making it an important document of the regions literary and manuscript heritage. The other two recognised works also represent significant traditions of Indian intellectual history. The Mahabharata manuscript, officially titled 'The Birch-bark (burjapatra) Manuscript of Mahabharata - A Perennial Epic of South Asia', is preserved at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute in Pune. The manuscript represents an important witness to the older Kashmiri recension of the Sanskrit epic. Georg Bhler, an Indologist, acquired it in Kashmir in 1875, and it is regarded as a significant textual source. KautilyasArthashastra, officially listed as 'KautilyasArthashastra, Ancient Palm-leaf Manuscript on Governance and Statecraft', is preserved at the Oriental Research Institute in Mysuru. Attributed to Kautilya, also known as Chanakya or Vishnugupta, the ancient Sanskrit treatise deals with governance, administration, economic policy, diplomacy, military strategy, and statecraft. The surviving manuscript is a 16th-century palm-leaf document written in the Grantha script. Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat described the inscriptions as an important recognition of Indias documentary and civilisational heritage, saying the works reflected traditions of historical inquiry, philosophical thought and statecraft. The UNESCO Memory of the World Programme aims to preserve documentary heritage and promote its accessibility and recognition across generations.

Rajatarangini enters UNESCO register

Srinagar, Nov 06: Kalhana's 12th-century Rajatarangini has been inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Asia-Pacific Regional Register, with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday hailing the recognition as a proud moment for Jammu and Kashmir and the nation. The Rajatarangini was inscribed alongside the epic Mahabharata and Kautilya's Arthashastra, a work on governance and statecraft, officials said. The decision was taken at the 11th Session of the Memory of the World Asia-Pacific Regional Register held in Jakarta, Indonesia, the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) said. The IGNCA played an important role in preparing the nomination dossiers for all three works, according to an official. The Rajatarangini officially inscribed as The Manuscript of Rajatarangini by Kalhana: A Twelfth-century Chronicle of Kashmir is housed at the Oriental Research Library, Sri Pratap Singh Library Complex, Srinagar. The Birch-bark manuscript of the Mahabharata is housed at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Pune, while Kautilya's Arthashastra is housed at the Oriental Research Institute, Mysuru. Announcing the development, PIB Culture said on X: A moment of immense pride for India! The Rajatarangini, Mahabharata and Arthashastra have been inscribed in @UNESCO's Memory of the World Asia-Pacific Regional Register, marking a historic milestone in the global recognition of India's rich civilisational heritage! Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said the inclusion was a landmark recognition of India's extraordinary documentary and civilisational heritage. These timeless works embody our rich traditions of historical inquiry, philosophical thought and statecraft, whose wisdom continues to inspire humanity, he said. In his post on X, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said, Proud moment for Jammu Kashmir & the nation! Kalhana's Rajatarangini, Mahabharata & Arthasastra have been inscribed in @UNESCO's Memory of the World Asia-Pacific Regional Register. The inclusion of Rajatarangini celebrates UT's rich intellectual heritage. This global recognition reaffirms the timeless value of India's civilisational traditions and their contribution to humanity, reminding us of our collective responsibility to preserve and promote this invaluable wisdom for future generations, he said. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah congratulated the people of Jammu and Kashmir on the inscription of the manuscript, describing the recognition as a moment of immense pride for the region as it brings global attention to its rich civilisational legacy and enduring contribution to history and literature. He noted that the manuscript is an invaluable repository of Kashmir's history, offering a remarkable account of its rulers, society, traditions and cultural evolution. Kalhana's Rajatarangini, regarded as one of the earliest systematic historical chronicles of the Indian subcontinent, holds a special place in the region's literary and intellectual heritage, he said. The Chief Minister observed that the inscription on the UNESCO regional register underscores the importance of safeguarding invaluable manuscripts and historical records for future generations, and said the recognition would further strengthen efforts to preserve, document and promote Jammu and Kashmir's cultural heritage while enhancing its visibility on the international stage. With the recognition, India's historical, literary, philosophical and political thought receives wider international acknowledgement, taking the country's total number of inscriptions in the Regional Register to six. Illustrated manuscripts of the Ramcharitamanas, a rare 15th-century manuscript containing animal fables from the Panchatantra, and the manuscript of the Sahrdayaloka-Locana were inscribed in the regional register in 2024. The official termed the inscriptions a recognition of India's knowledge traditions that contributed to human understanding of history, ethical values, philosophy, Dharma and good governance.

Karnataka seeks Rs 22,000 crore drought relief from Centre, farmers to get Rs 5,000 each: Dy CM Parameshwara

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 6 (IANS) Karnataka has sought around Rs 22,000 crore in drought relief from the Centre under the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) guidelines against an estimated crop loss of Rs 62,000 crore, Deputy Chief Minister and Revenue Minister G. Parameshwara said on Friday. Addressing the media near his residence here, Parameshwara, who is also the Revenue Minister, said the state government had submitted three memorandums to the Union government and sought appointments with the Prime Minister, Union Home Minister and Union Agriculture Minister to explain the drought situation. If appointments are granted, we will meet them with an all-party delegation. Otherwise, we will go under the leadership of the Chief Minister and submit our request, he said. The state had calculated its eligible relief requirement under NDRF norms, as the entire estimated loss could not be sought from the Centre, he added. Parameshwara said the government had released Rs 1,250 crore towards the first instalment of drought relief of Rs 2,500 per farmer through Direct Benefit Transfer. More than three lakh farmers in Yadgir district had reportedly received the assistance. Following an increase in the relief amount under Central guidelines, Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar had agreed to provide an additional Rs 2,500 per farmer. The additional assistance, requiring another Rs 1,250 crore, would be released within one week to 15 days, taking the total relief to Rs 5,000 per farmer, he said. The government had also allocated Rs 1 crore to each Assembly constituency and Rs 4 crore to Rs 5 crore to districts for drinking water arrangements and other essential works. On the proposed meeting with the Prime Minister, Parameshwara said the government had sought a separate appointment to discuss Karnataka's issues. The delegation would meet him in Delhi or Mysuru, depending on where an appointment was granted. Defending the government's decisions on recent increases in transport fares and milk and curd prices, he said all sections of society had to be considered while managing the state's finances. He cited the needs of drought-hit farmers, sugarcane growers, and government employees receiving Dearness Allowance. Responding to the BJP's criticism of the fare hike, he said rising petrol and diesel prices had also increased transport and agricultural costs. Fuel prices had been increased around 14 times since the BJP came to power at the Centre, he claimed, adding that farmers depended on diesel for tractors and other agricultural activities. He said the state's revenue position was better than last year, with good collections from commercial taxes, excise, and stamp and registration charges, and that government decisions were taken after assessing available resources.

Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 5(IANS) The makers of director Anil Ravipudi's eagerly awaited family entertainer, 'January 12 Vidudala', featuring actors Venkatesh and Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in the lead, on Thursday announced that the next schedule of the film has begun in Kazakhstan.

They informed that Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram had begun shooting for a breathtaking action sequence ounder the supervision of renowned stunt choreographer Real Satish. Set against the stunning landscapes of Kazakhstan, the sequence is being designed on a grand scale. Sources point out that with two prominent stars coming together for the action block and Anil Ravipudi overseeing its execution, this high-voltage sequence would be one of the major highlights of the film. The Kazakhstan schedule will also feature a spectacular song featuring both Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram. Choreographed by Sekhar Master, the special number will be filmed in some picturesque locations. Prior to heading to Kazakhstan, the unit had completed a schedule in Ooty in Tamil Nadu. It may be recalled that the unit had shot in Mysuru prior to shooting in Ooty. Sources close to the unit of the film had then told IANS that all four lead actors -- Venkatesh, Kalyan Ram, Keerthy Suresh and Krithi Shetty were spotted at the shooting spot in Mysuru. The team, among other things, had also shot a song there. Actor Sriman, who was also a part of the film, had taken to his X timeline to share his delight about being in a song choreographed by Brinda master after eight years.

Ktaka: Mysuru royal family questions Dasara arrangements, says suggestions to govt were not diktats

Digital Desk | Mysuru, Nov 4 (IANS) Amid the controversy over the conduct of the Dasara celebrations, member of the erstwhile Mysuru royal family Pramoda Devi Wadiyar on Wednesday clarified that her letter to the state government contained only suggestions and not directives, while Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said he would look into her concerns and speak with her. Addressing a press conference in Mysuru, Pramoda Devi said the suggestions were intended to ensure that the Dasara celebrations in the coming years were conducted smoothly and without any issues. She clarified that it was entirely up to the government to consider or reject the suggestions and that she had not dictated any decisions to the government. She also made it clear that the royal family had not blamed the Karnataka government in any manner. Their objection was specifically regarding the presence and conduct of the state police during the celebrations. On the issue of the golden howdah, the major attraction of the Dasara festivities, Pramoda Devi reiterated that it was the private property of the royal family. She maintained that neither the golden howdah nor the royal throne came under any government legislation, asserting that both had belonged to the royal family in the past and would continue to remain theirs. Clarifying the government's payment in connection with the use of the golden howdah, she said it should not be described as royalty. The government first writes to the royal family seeking the golden howdah for the Dasara procession, and the payment is made for using the golden howdah in that context, she explained. She also stressed the importance of taking the palace into confidence while selecting the elephant to carry the golden howdah during the Dasara procession. This is not merely a matter of the royal family's rights. It is also about the safety of the elephant and lakhs of people. There should not be any risk to the mahout or the elephant, she said. Referring to previous incidents, she said the palace should be consulted before finalising the elephant for the procession. Informing the palace about the elephant selected to carry the golden howdah was the responsibility of the officials, she added. Meanwhile, responding to a question about Pramoda Devi's dissatisfaction over the Chief Minister's alleged failure to address the mismanagement during Dasara despite an earlier assurance, Shivakumar said he was not aware of the matter. We hold the royal family of Karnataka in the highest regard. I cannot act merely on the basis of what you tell me, nor can I respond simply because the media poses a question in a particular manner. I will look into the matter and speak with her, he said. Earlier, Pramoda Devi Wadiyar of the erstwhile Mysuru royal family expressed deep disappointment and raised serious objections regarding the conduct of the Mysuru Dasara 2026 celebrations in a press statement and letter. She alleged severe coordination failures among government departments and police personnel, noting that the family was not informed in advance; for instance, having to approach the Deputy Conservator of Forests five days prior just to find out which elephant was selected. She had raised objections regarding the rude and arrogant behaviour of police personnel near specific gates and restrictions placed during the events. Minister Yathindra Siddaramaiah stated that the Mysuru Palace and Palace Board fall under state government jurisdiction, and residential space is extended to the former royal family out of respect. He emphasised that the government does not use the Ambari for free and follows proper official protocols. When BJP leaders like B.Y. Vijayendra demanded an apology, Yathindra refused to apologise to the Mysuru royal family, stating that the Mysuru Palace and surrounding lands belong to the state government and that his remarks were a direct response to a public statement by Pramoda Devi Wadiyar.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 29 (IANS) Tanush Kotian and Parth Bhut both claimed eight-wicket hauls on the final day of the latest round of Ranji Trophy matches on Thursday. Kotians effort set up Mumbais 10-wicket rout of Haryana, while Bhut bowled Saurashtra to victory over Assam by an innings and 12 runs.

Kotian removed overnight batters Himanshu Rana (46) and Nishant Sindhu (44), and later ended a lower-order fightback led by Samant Jakhar. Mumbai needed only 97 runs for victory, and they knocked off the runs in under 11 overs. Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored a hundred in the first innings, smashed an unbeaten 67 off 39 balls.

Speaking to the media in Kittur in Belagavi, Shivakumar said the survival of Karnataka's farmers was his priority and that he had come to Belagavi to discuss the issue with both farmers and sugar mill owners. I will not talk about what governments in other states are offering their sugarcane farmers. First, our farmers in Karnataka must survive. I will discuss this issue. That is why I have come here, rather than holding a meeting in Bengaluru, he said. I will speak to sugar mills and farmers. I must also listen to their views. Earlier, we gave farmers an additional amount of Rs 300 per quintal, and the previous Siddaramaiah government provided Rs 50. We have also asked mill owners to contribute. There is a problem here. I have discussed this issue with other states as well. I will discuss it with everyone and decide on the way forward, he added. CM Shivakumar said he will have to speak to owners first since they are the ones who will give money to farmers. The farmers are primarily demanding the fixing of a Rs 1,000 subsidy for each tonne of sugarcane. Secondly, they are urging the fixing of a price of Rs 5,500 per tonne of sugarcane. They are also demanding to reserve a sum of Rs 500 crore. The outcome of Monday's discussions is expected to be crucial in determining whether the ongoing protests will be resolved and whether the farmers' demand for a remunerative price for sugarcane will be addressed. Sugarcane farmers in North Karnataka -- led by organisations like the Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha and Hasiru Sene -- have staged widespread protests and highway blockades, including on the Pune-Bengaluru and Bengaluru-Mysuru highways, demanding higher prices and policy changes for the 2026-27 crushing season. Farmers are demanding a total sugarcane price of Rs 5,500 per tonne, an additional State Advised Price (SAP) of Rs 1,000 per tonne from the Karnataka government, and a higher Minimum Support Price (MSP) for sugar. The Central government fixed the Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) at Rs 365 per quintal for 2026-27 (up from Rs 355), which farmers argue is insufficient to cover rising fertiliser, labour, and transport costs. While some farmer groups temporarily paused specific agitations, farmer leaders have warned of a potential Karnataka Bandh on October 27 if concrete decisions are not reached, alongside a broader deadline set for November 26 for the Union government to respond to MSP and committee demands. Karnataka BJP has urged the state government to step in and address acute grower distress amid the ongoing drought and cultivation debt.

Royal scion Yaduveer Wadiyar seeks clear protocol for Mysuru Dasara rituals amid controversy

Digital Desk | Mysuru (Karnataka), Oct 24 (IANS) Mysuru-Kodagu BJP MP and Mysuru royal scion Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar on Saturday questioned the presence of a large number of people during the Nandi Dhwaja worship ritual at Mysuru Dasara and called for a clear protocol for the ceremony. A political controversy erupted in Karnataka during the Mysuru Dasara celebrations after police officers briefly blocked senior Dalit ministers from attending the traditional Nandi Dhwaja Puja. Speaking on the issue to reporters in Mysuru, Yaduveer said the presence of the Chief Minister and one or two officials would be sufficient for the ritual. He said the participation of a large number of people was not required. First, let them clarify what the protocol is. I am not aware of the existence of any such protocol. It is enough if two people accompany the Chief Minister on the occasion. Why should everyone want to go there? he asked. He said he had represented the Mysuru royal family at the rituals for the past 12 years at the direction of Rajamata. In earlier years, the Chief Minister and one or two officials would normally attend the rituals, he said. This is a programme organised by the government, and it has to decide and proceed accordingly. I feel that having fewer people would be better, as the rituals must be prioritised and conducted appropriately, he said. Yaduveer said the Chief Minister's presence was sufficient to represent the entire state and that everyone need not attend the ceremony. He added that the royal family had never insisted on their presence. Observing that some Dasara programmes had been reformed while others offered considerable scope for improvement, he said lessons should be drawn from this year's celebrations while planning the festival next year. We will offer suggestions, and action must also be taken. Merely making allegations would not be appropriate. I will raise these issues at the proper forum, he said. He called for the government to clearly define the protocol and announce that it would be followed from next year onwards. On the participation of the Chief Ministers of Kerala and Telangana in the Dasara celebrations, Yaduveer said their invitation was a good move that brought publicity to the festival. He also said there was nothing wrong with the Chief Ministers offering floral tributes to Goddess Chamundeshwari if they had been invited to do so. If they are invited and then not allowed to offer floral tributes, how is that possible? That is why I insist a clear protocol should be in place. Having a framework would be better, he said. Asked about the cancellation of the traditional Jatti Kalaga event, Yaduveer said his mother would provide clarification on the matter and that further reactions would follow after her statement. Meanwhile, Rajamata Pramodadevi Wadiyar said she had been concerned about elephant Prashanth, which carried the golden howdah of Goddess Chamundeshwari for the first time during the Mysuru Dasara celebrations. However, she said the elephant performed well, remained calm throughout the procession and did not cause any trouble. She added that both the elephant and the golden howdah were beautifully decorated. There had never been any concern earlier, but this time I was worried, she said.

Blackmail plot: Siddaramaiah names Congress leader, journalist in sting op case

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 23 (IANS) Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress Working Committee (CWC) Member Siddaramaiah on Friday named a journalist and Congress leader, Krupa Alva of Mangaluru, as those allegedly behind the sting operation, describing it as a systematic conspiracy to blackmail him and tarnish his image through false allegations. Speaking to the media at the Suttur branch mutt in Mysuru, Siddaramaiah, who filed a complaint in the case, said the matter had come to his notice in September this year. A journalist and Krupa Alva of Mangaluru have joined hands to carry out this operation. I voluntarily lodged a complaint with the police so that the truth would come out before the public. There is no substance in the allegations, and they are completely far from the truth, he said. He said he had approached the court to prevent the spread of false allegations and a smear campaign against him. Siddaramaiah said no such incidents had occurred during his eight-year tenure as Chief Minister and that he had never faced such baseless allegations during his long political career. Such blackmail tactics are being employed in the present political system. I have committed no wrongdoing. Since I have done nothing wrong, I do not need anyones moral support, nor is there any need for anyone to stand by me, he said. Taking a swipe at those allegedly seeking political mileage from the controversy, he said some people were making statements for political gains and were free to continue doing so. However, he maintained that the investigation should establish who was behind the alleged conspiracy. Only after the investigation will it be known whether people from within our own party or those from the Opposition were involved. I have complete faith in the governments investigation. There is no need for an SIT or any other high-level probe, he said. Siddaramaiah asserted that the alleged conspiracy would not succeed in achieving its intended objective. The case, which appeared to have lost momentum over the past two or three days, has taken a fresh turn following the allegations by Siddaramaiahs son, Yathindra Siddaramaiah, that leaders from within the Congress were behind the sting operation. Karnataka Minister for Urban Development Yathindra Siddaramaiah on Friday morning alleged that insiders had carried out the sting operation involving his father, former Chief Minister and Congress Working Committee member Siddaramaiah, to tarnish his image, destroy his 40-year political legacy and blackmail him. He said the investigation would establish whether the people seen in the video had acted on their own or at someone else's behest. Speaking to the media, Yathindra said the video purportedly showed the involvement of some Congress leaders and a senior media person, making it necessary to investigate the circumstances under which the sting operation was carried out. This sting operation has been carried out to tarnish his image, destroy his legacy and blackmail him. Of course, the video indicates the involvement of our own party leaders and a media head. The investigation should establish whether they did it themselves or whether someone else asked them to do it, he said. However, Yathindra said he did not suspect anyone in particular and maintained that the investigation should establish the facts. Asked about the alleged involvement of Congress leaders, he said the reference was to a woman leader whose involvement was purportedly indicated in the video. According to him, she had reportedly spoken about seeking a Congress ticket to contest from the Puttur Assembly constituency. Prima facie, it appears that the sting operation may have been carried out for that reason. But we cannot say that the entire party conspired against us just because one party worker was involved, he said.
