Udupi MLA Yashpal Suvarna alleges anti-communal task force targets hindu activists
UDUPI: Udupi MLA Yashpal Suvarna on Sunday claimed that the anti-communal task force announced by Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara, in the backdrop of the murder of VHP activist Suhas Shetty in Mangaluru, would work against Hindu activists. In a statement on Saturday night, Suvarna stated that the aim behind forming such a force by the government is to target Hindu activists and frame them in false cases. He further said that Parameshwara was pressurised by the Muslim community leaders during the formers recent visit to Mangaluru in this regard, and the home minister succumbed to the pressure tactics. He said that during a meeting chaired by Parameshwara in Mangaluru recently, the Muslim community leaders expressed their anger while asserting their viewpoints, despite police presence. The ministers who came to Dakshina Kannada did not even consult local MLAs to discuss about restoring peace. Earlier, the Congress government didnt agree to form an anti-narcotics wing, however, now with the intention to curb the voice of Hindu activists, it is going ahead with forming an anti-communal task force, he rued. This way, the state government wants to portray the coastal district as being communally-sensitive, which could impede its economic and social development. Suvarna also sought the resignation of Assembly Speaker UT Khader, alleging that the latter tried to influence the investigation by falsely stating that Fazils family had no role in Shettys murder. Now details have emerged that Fazils brother is the prime accused in Shettys murder. Khader should resign, he demanded.

Revenge killings: Vicious cycle in Dakshina Kannada fuelled by parties
MANGALURU: On July 20, 2022, Masood B, an 18-year-old daily wager, was assaulted by a gang of eight at Kalinja in Sullia taluk of Dakshina Kannada district over a trivial issue and he succumbed a day later in the hospital. Six days later, on the night of July 26, about 40 km away in Bellare, BJP Yuva Morcha leader Praveen Nettaru was murdered by bike-borne assailants. Two days later on July 28, Mohammed Fazil was hacked to death in Katipalla near Mangaluru in tit-for-tat murders. The victims of these three killings that took place in just nine days neither knew each other nor had anything in common. But all the three murders had a common thread - revenge - which runs deep in coastal Karnataka and is promptly fuelled by religious fanaticism and hate. While Praveen was murdered in retaliation of Masoods killing to trigger fear among people as part of now banned PFIs agenda, Fazil who had no criminal antecedents was picked randomly and just because of his religious identity to avenge Praveens murder. There was a lull for almost three years and when everyone thought that Dakshina Kannada had moved on, came the brutal murder of Hindutva activist and rowdy-sheeter Suhas Shetty, who was the main accused in Fazils murder. There seems to be no end to this bitter cycle of murders which is not seen anywhere else in Karnataka. There are several factors that have contributed to this shocking reality. While in most parts of the state, the minorities hardly resist the majority because of their thin population and lack of money and political power, here the minorities are significantly high in numbers and also are well off and quickly resist any such attempts. Eight held for murder of Hindutva activist Suhas Shetty; police say personal rivalry led to crime The majority expects them to be submissive like in other parts which does not happen here simply because of muscle, money and political power. Also, many are not able to digest the economic development of Muslims which has resulted in sullying the communitys image with allegations of Land Jihad etc. These issues have also led to severe radicalisation of a section of the community, gravitating them towards organisations like PFI, said a university professor. Such communal and revenge killings satiate power hungry parties, which see murders as an opportunity to further their political agenda to achieve power, he adds. The better economic situation of the region, in a way, has also helped in the radicalisation of youth from both sides. This is further aggravated by politicians who see such murders from the prism of religion, make provocative speeches to polarise the masses and show clear bias in extending compensation and other state benefits. In the case of Praveen Nettaru, the then BJP government announced a compensation and handed over the probe to NIA, but similar action was not taken with the murders of Masood and Fazil, making the minorities feel alienated. Successive governments dont seem to be interested in putting an end to the trend. Sometime ago, the present Congress government announced an Anti-Communal Task Force in the region to rein in communal forces, but that did not see the light of day. After the recent murder, the government has announced similar plans again. The conviction rate in such cases being abysmally low has also failed to deter youth from indulging in such heinous crimes.

Anti-Communal Task Force will be set-up in 2 weeks: Home Minister Parameshwara
MANGALURU: Karnataka Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara on Saturday announced the establishment of an Anti-Communal Task Force (ACTF) in Mangaluru to check the communal incidents in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts. Talking to reporters after holding a discussion with senior police officers in Mangaluru given the tension that has gripped the region following the murders of Ashraf and Suhas Shetty , Dr Parameshwara said the ACTF be set up within two weeks on lines of the Anti-Naxal Force. It will be headed by an Inspector General (IG) or above rank officer. The format of ACF will be announced later. The minister said the ACTF will be given powers to take action against forces fanning communal tensions and their supporters with a stern hand in order to ensure peace and harmony in the region. The ACTF will keep a watch on the communal speeches, statements and social media and deal with the violators with an iron hand as per law. When reminded that a similar force was announced by him sometime back but it did not make any progress, Dr Parameshwara said that it was just a separate wing under Mangaluru city police. Now, the ACTF will be on lines of ANF, he said. Dr Parameshwara said that the Congress government in Karnataka was making all efforts to bring back the past glory of the coastal region by shedding its communally sensitive tag, but the two murders have in a way challenged their efforts. He, however, said their efforts will continue and thwart all efforts to disturb peace in the region. The communal forces will not be allowed to violate the law and order, he said. Dr Parameshwara said that after the Congress took out a padayatra in the region, there were no communal incidents for a few years, but it has made a comeback. There are several forces behind it, and we will not allow them to thrive, he added. He denied intelligence failure behind Suhass murder. When pressed further, he said the investigation would bring out the truth. He said the Opposition should have been wise not to glorify Suhas who was an accused in two murder cases with a procession from Mangaluru to his native place. They say he was associated with them. We dont endorse such things, Dr Parameshwara said.

Revenge for Suhas Shetty's death: Udupi auto driver narrowly escapes murder attempt
UDUPI: In an attempt of retaliation, a 50-year-old auto-rickshaw driver of Badagabettu in Udupi narrowly escaped a murder attempt near Athrady late on May 1. The man who escaped the murder attempt has been identified as Abubakkar. Udupi SP Dr Arun K said that two men on a motorcycle followed the auto rickshaw driver before trying to attack him with a sword and bottle. He said that the investigation conducted so far suggested the assault was an act of revenge for the murder of Suhas Shetty (30), who was hacked to death in Bajpe, Mangaluru, on May 1. Earlier one Dinesh who was known to Abubakkar, made a rental request. Abubakkar then took his auto rickshaw and moved around 11.15 pm on May 1. As he approached near gas petrol bunk on the main road in Athrady, two unidentified men on a motorcycle began trailing his vehicle. According to the complaint given by Abubakkar, the suspects overtook his auto and attempted to stop him, and abused him. When Abubakkar did not stop and drove further, he noticed the pillion rider holding a sword. One of them reportedly shouted in Tulu suggesting an intent to kill. VHP gives bandh call across Dakshina Kannada over murder of Bajrang Dal worker Suhas Shetty Fearing for his life, Abubakkar drove towards Shedigudde and stopped his auto rickshaw near a house. As he tried to escape by running, one of the assailants allegedly swung the sword at his head. Abubakkar narrowly escaped from this assault. Another assailant hit a bottle at the front glass of the auto-rickshaw and damaged it. As Abubakkar realised that the attackers intended to kill him, he jumped over a nearby compound wall and fled the scene. Based on the complaint, a case has been registered at the Hiriyadka police station under sections 126(2), 109, 324(3), 352, 351(2) read with 3(5) of BNS. Police later identified two assailants and arrested them. The arrested persons have been identified as Sandesh (31) of Bommarabettu, Hiriyadka, and Sushanth (32) of Bapuji Dharkas, Hiriyadka. Both have been taken into custody and will be produced before the court. Further investigation is on, he said.
Over 5.24 lakh students passed in Karnataka SSLC exams
BENGALURU: The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) declared the SSLC Exam-1 results on Friday, with the overall pass percentage rising to 62.34%. This marks a 9.34% increase from last years 53%, School Education and Literacy Minister Madhu Bangarappa said. Out of more than 8.42 lakh students who appeared for the SSLC exams, over 5.24 lakh successfully passed. Notably, 22 students scored a perfect 625 marks, including seven from Bengaluru a significant increase from last year, when only one student achieved this feat. In the previous year, about 8.9 lakh students registered for the SSLC exams, with an initial pass percentage of 53.40%. However, after granting 20% grace marks, the final pass percentage was adjusted to 73%. The education minister attributed the improvement in results to remedial classes, explaining that the department focused on identifying underperforming students and providing additional support through targeted classes on specific subjects and topics. Dakshina Kannada topped the state with a pass percentage of 91.12%, followed by Udupi at 89.96%. On the other hand, Kalaburagi recorded the lowest pass percentage at 42.43%, with Vijayapura at 49.58%. The minister also announced that the SSLC Exam-2 will be held from May 26 to June 2.

Udupi CMC to take stringent action for letting waste water to open areas
Poojary asks industrialists in Udupi district to employ local candidates on priority
BENGALURU: While the state and Central governments are working to identify and protect heritage sites in Karnataka, the responsibility of the people, especially locals, is much bigger. Experts echo the lack of sense of ownership, respect and pride among people and government officials alike. Recently, after a video went viral showing a meat stall at the tomb of Krishnadevaraya, the legendary ruler of the Vijayanagar dynasty, in Anegundi, the Department of Archaeology Museum and Heritage (DAMH) filed a complaint against the accused. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) says the site is a state-protected monument. Then, how was this allowed to happen? Madhusudhan KR, researcher and member of the Karnataka Itihasa Academy, says, The incident came to light after videos taken by tourists went viral. A similar incident was reported from Doddaballapur taluk in Bengaluru Rural, where a 5th century Ganga dynasty stone inscription went missing, during construction of a temples compound wall. This cannot continue. State and national heritage should be protected. A bigger concern is of sites being disrespected, destroyed, defaced and damaged. It all started with the cinema industry, which romanticized the etching of messages in stone. Now people have immortalized it. Some go to heritage sites with cameras, some others with chisels and paint. Couples started writing messages, drawing graffiti and symbols. Just imagine, you are visiting a tombstone or a hero stone or fort, and you are greeted with a painted love note. Not just governments, even locals should come forward and take stern action to control the menace to bring such people to book. In some places, people spit on fort walls, urinate or throw food items. This is seen in areas outside fort walls and spaces surrounding them, said an ASI official, seeking anonymity. Although government departments blame manpower and funds shortage for their inability to protect the sites, experts suggest the adoption of alternatives. Citizens should be involved and made watchdogs. They should be made aware of the sites and their importance, made partners in protection and offered incentives for protecting them. ASI and DAMH officials should also work with panchayats. In a district, if 30 per cent of sites are protected, 20 per cent are on the verge of being lost and 50 per cent have already been lost. With this being the state of affairs, a lot more needs to be done, says Madhusudhan. Experts say the government should now shift its focus from the already popular heritage sites of Hampi, Belur, Halebidu, Pattadakal, Aihole and Badami to lesser known destinations. But so far, its only been lip service. Dr Jayasimha P, senior research fellow, Mythic Society, says the Brahmagiri region near Chitradurga is much richer and needs urgent attention. The region gains importance as around 100 years ago, Dr MH Krishna from Mysore Archaeology, under the then kings, had said Brahmagiri holds the key to questions of human evolution. Government departments are carrying out excavation work and have found artifacts older than the Paleolithic period. Already, many important artifacts have been lost over time, and people know very little about this place. Similarly, there is a 1,100-year-old stone inscription in the Panchalingeshwara Temple in Begur temple, near Electronics City, which is named Bengalura. Another expert working with ASI says, requesting anonymity, that while the Central government and other states are finding artifacts and heritage structures to display the glory of King Ashokas Mauryan Empire, Karnataka is doing nothing. There are stone inscriptions of King Ashoka in Koppal, Maski, Brahmagiri and near Chitradurga. These show that his empire touched Karnataka and he had trade relations here. They need to be protected now, before it is too late, the expert says, adding that not just sites, even murals and ecological heritage need protection. In Lal Bagh (Bengaluru), the mango trees planted by Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan are well-protected. But the same ecology in Srirangapatna is ignored. Similar is the case with the Nallur Tamarind Grove, which is a biodiversity site now. Over time, the number of trees has reduced. There are also many heritage banyan trees on village roads, which are becoming highways now. Many heritage doors, walls and windows of heritage properties, like in Lakkundi, are being lost to urbanization, the expert points out. DAMH officials admit that many stone inscriptions, especially hero stones, have been lost to urbanization. People destroy the stones by using granite for foundation or in residential/commercial construction. Many such stones are being found on the outskirts of Bengaluru, Tumkuru, Ramanagara, Kolar and surrounding areas, but are being lost because of lack of knowledge about them, the official adds. Experts say the way ahead to protect heritage sites is for the government to get aggressive and involve people. They cite Tamil Nadus example of not just using archaeology to build narratives, but also as assets. This year, there are 22 excavations taking place in Tamil Nadu, but only two in Karnataka. Excavations in Tamil Nadu are being done in the open for people to see and ask questions. There is a guide stationed at the site to explain the works and the site. There is a people connection established there. A similar method is also adopted in Vadnagar in Gujarat, where guides tell stories during the excavations. An emotional link with people is established, which is lacking here. In Karnataka, where DAMH has started excavation works in Firozabad, near Kalaburgi South Indias first hammam (communal bath space) and water system the people connect is missing, an expert says. Meera Iyer, convener, Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH), says a lack of awareness and appreciation among people is the reason for heritage sites being in a poor condition. It is seen that wherever people realize the importance of sites and appreciate them, they are protected. The government should also be more careful in protecting them and encourage people to come forward to do so. The government should also be more judicious in utilizing funds and resources. People should also take an interest in finding out whats around them and its importance. GROUND ZERO SITUATION UDUPI Story of neglect Prof T Murugeshi, retired Associate Professor, Ancient History and Archaeology, MSRS College, Shirva, Udupi district, says Karnatakas coastal region has many sites. But the ASI and DAHM have totally neglected coastal Karnataka with respect to documentation, survey, protection and conservation. Only a handful of sites in this region are protected. No Members of Parliament, MLAs or district authorities are concerned about the rich cultural heritage of this region. Important rock art sites like Buddhanajeddu, Gavali and Avalakki Pare in Udupi district, Karur, Sonda in Uttara Kannada district and Pandavarakallu near Belthangady in Dakshina Kannada, speak of the unknown prehistory of coastal Karnataka but the authorities are totally blind, Murugeshi says. BELAGAVI A fort in ruins The situation in Belagavi is no different. Experts and locals point out that one of the most famous and historic forts Kittur Fort is in ruins. The state government has made plans to revive it and organise Kittur Utsav as an annual affair. They say the government should also give importance to lesser-known sites, including the Bhootanath Temple Complex at Killa Torgal, and ancient Ratta temples in Hooli, Degaon and Gokak, which now lie neglected. GADAG People unaware of importance While Gadag is known for the famous Lakkundi temple, history expert AD Kattimani from Gadag says many historic monuments need to be saved as people in rural areas still dont know their importance. The local administration should come forward to create awareness. Even as excavations have started in Lakkundi and surrounding areas, there are no State or Central government officials on the ground to disseminate information on the same, say experts, adding that it is important, especially when local residents are coming forward and handing over inscriptions and monuments found inside their houses and which they worshipped. Experts say some places inside Gadag town need more vigilance as last December, some miscreants defaced a side wall of Jodu Kalasa in Sudi village. People continue to misuse historic monuments. KALABURAGI Tombs damaged Although there are over 200 historical monuments, only some are protected by ASI and DAMH sites. Many sites are encroached or neglected due to different reasons, including the Bahamani Fort and Haft Gumbaz. Efforts of the district administration to evict families living in Kalaburagi Fort have not yielded results. Miscreants have damaged some tombs situated in Haft Gumbaz premises in search of hidden treasures. There is also lack of proper security at the 16 sites protected by DAMH. Activist Lakshmikanth says many monuments are dilapidated and unrepaired over years. Some monuments have become a place for illegal activities. Historian Shambhuling Vani urges the government to take steps to protect the monuments and make them attractive tourist spots by providing necessary facilities. HASSAN No protection for 50 sites While 45 monuments (24 by DAMH and 21 by ASI) belonging to the Hoysala dynasty are protected, over 50 lie neglected. Experts say the government is showing no signs of protecting the others, including Jain Basadis, inscriptions unearthed in Belur and Channarayapatna, highlighting the works of Chandragupta Mourya and the Chola dynasty. Historian Narasimha Murthy says the need of the hour is to conserve every monument without discrimination. The state and ASI should come up with special programmes to protect monuments for future generations. VIJAYAPURA Home to 81 monuments According to the ASI, Vijayapura city alone has 81 protected monuments, the second highest in India after Delhi. Yet, despite having so many ancient and historically significant monuments, only a few are protected by ASI. While some monuments, such as Gol Gumbaz, Ibrahim Roza, Bara Kaman, Upari Burj and Malik-ek-Maidan, are well maintained by ASI, many others remain neglected, including the fort wall surrounding the city. It has been damaged at many places and even illegally occupied by people to build homes. An ASI official questions the lack of funds for upkeep and maintenance to protect and promote several monuments. We can issue notices to residents, but we cannot remove them from ASI property as it is tricky. We dont get the required support from local authorities to remove encroachments, says the ASI official. State protected sites 800 Unprotected sites identified by state government 25,000 ASI protected sites in Karnataka: 506 (129 in Bengaluru Circle, 282 in Dharwad Circle, 95 in Hampi Circle) (Inputs from:Prakash Samaga/ Udupi; Tushar A Majukar/ Belagavi; Raghu Koppar/ Gadag; Ramakrishna Badsheshi / Kalaburagi; BR Udaya Kumar / Hassan; Firoz Rozindar / Vijayapura)
