Karnataka Dalit Sangharsha Samithi opposes Bhagavad Gita seminar at Kuvempu University
The group objected to the vice chancellor chairing the event, calling it 'an insult to Kuvempu’s universal humanist values.'
SHIVAMOGGA: The Karnataka Dalit Sangharsha Samithi (KDSS) has warned that it will launch a Tamate Chalavali (protest drum movement) if Kuvempu University goes ahead with a seminar titled “Bhagavad Gita and Crime Control” on Tuesday.
The programme is being organised at the university’s Basava Mantapa in collaboration with Swarna Rashmi Trust, the Bhagavad Gita Abhiyana District Committee and Kuvempu University.
In a statement, state convenor M Gurumurthy said the seminar promotes a right-wing ideological agenda and is against the ideals of national poet Kuvempu and the spirit of the Constitution drafted by Dr B R Ambedkar.
He said the Bhagavad Gita has historically been used to justify the Chaturvarna system and the caste hierarchy, and described the event as an attempt to celebrate oppression.
Gurumurthy alleged that right-wing groups are using such programmes to push a single ideological framework across universities and to influence students.
KDSS questioned why Kuvempu University chose to organise the seminar when no other university in the state has done so.
The group also objected to the vice chancellor chairing the event, calling it “an insult to Kuvempu’s universal humanist values.” The committee further claimed that the invited speakers are associated with organisations that oppose the views of Gandhi, Basavanna and Ambedkar.
The late release of the invitation, just two days ahead of the event, has also raised concerns, it said. KDSS has urged the university to cancel the seminar immediately.

The Minister said the Chief Minister has consistently stood by Dalits, recalling the historic decision on SC categorisation and the recognition extended to artistes
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s personal presence at poet Andesri’s funeral reflected the government’s deep respect for artistes and Dalits, stated Minister for SC, ST and Disabled Welfare Adluri Lakshman Kumar at a preparatory meeting for the condolence programme of Andesri, author of the Telangana State Anthem.
“No Chief Minister in the past has accorded such honour to poets and artistes,” he said, adding that the meeting would be organised with dignity befitting the State and in a manner that embodies the spirit of Telangana.
The Minister said the Chief Minister has consistently stood by Dalits, recalling the historic decision on SC categorisation and the recognition extended to artistes. He met poets, artistes, Dalit organisations, people’s associations and employees’ unions to plan the programme.
Mr. Lakshman Kumar said Andesri’s literary contributions captured the spirit, pride and cultural essence of Telangana, and would continue to guide future generations. The condolence programme will revolve around three themes — Dalit unity, Telangana spirit and honouring artists.

Stricter measures demanded against untouchability, caste discrimination
The Shoshan Mukti Manch today staged a massive protest outside the premises of Deputy Commissioner’s office against atrocities on the Dalit community, especially rising cases of rapes and murders. The manch demanded that the state government should opt stricter measures to stop untouchability, caste-based discrimination and oppression of Dalits as well as crime against them.
Through the Deputy Commissioner, the manch submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister demanding an end to social evils, while highlighting the issues and demands of the Dalit community.
During the protest, Jagat Ram, state co-convener of the manch, alleged that the state was witnessing a significant rise in incidents of untouchability, caste-based discrimination, assaults on Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes, rapes and murders over the past few months.
He said in Rohru, a 12-year-old Dalit boy identified as Sikander, was subjected to such an extreme harassment that he was compelled to die by suicide. Also, in one of the schools in Rohru, a Dalit student was stripped naked by a teacher, and beaten and tortured with a stinging nettle. Similarly, in Kullu district’s Sainj Valley, a woman was brutally gang-raped and murdered, he said.
During the Kullu Dussehra festival, a government officer was assaulted and humiliated, an incident that brought shame to the entire state, he said.
“Cases of physical violence and rape of women by politically influential individuals and their families are on the rise. In Hamirpur, an attempt was made to rape a woman. She was attacked violently, leading to her death in the hospital,” he said.
Jagat Ram further stated that the policies of liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation adopted by the state government were rapidly affecting both the nation and the state. “These policies are resulting in attacks on the rights of the common people and withdrawal of their essential facilities, creating widespread public anger. To divert attention from real issues and retain power, the ruling side is inciting divisions among people on the basis of caste and religion,” he claimed.

TMC accuses BJP of being ‘anti-tribal anti-dalit’ alleges rise in crimes against STs
Kolkata, (PTI) Stepping up its attack on the BJP governments at the Centre and in states, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Saturday accused the party of being “anti-tribal” and “anti-Dalit”, alleging that crimes against Scheduled Tribes (STs) had risen sharply in saffron party-ruled states.
In a post on its official X handle, the party claimed crimes against adivasis had shot up by a staggering 90 per cent from 6,827 cases in 2014 to 12,960 cases in 2023.
“In just one year, between 2022 and 2023, crimes against STs skyrocketed by 28.8 per cent, with the crime rate surging from 9.6 to 12.4,” the party said.
The party asked, “Where are Tribals the most unsafe? Not Bengal. But Manipur and Madhya Pradesh, both proudly governed by BJP,” alleging that BJP-ruled states accounted for the “worst atrocities” against tribal communities.
“In Madhya Pradesh’s Sidhi, a BJP leader was caught on camera commiting atrocities on a tribal youth. In Bengal, BJP’s own LoP @SuvenduWB has proudly declared that respected Tribal leaders like Debnath Hansda and Birbaha Hansda are ‘infants’ who belong under his boots,” the TMC said in the post.
“After this mountain of hate, humiliation and violence, how does the BJP dare to lecture Bengal?” the party asked, alleging that the double-engine government used adivasi lives as “political props”.
In another post, the TMC accused BJP leaders like Amit Malviya of launching “an anti-Bengali campaign”, branding him as an outsider.
“So now @BJP4India wants to decide who is ‘Bengali’ and who is not? Your UP-born @amitmalviya is the same man who insulted and questioned the Bengali language, claiming “there is, in fact, no language called Bengali”.
Accusing Malviya of repeatedly painting Bengalis as infiltrators and Bangladeshis, the TMC described BJP as a party parachuting outsiders into Bengal politics and appointing outsiders like Bhupendra Yadav and Biplab Deb as “election in-charge”.
“When it suits BJP, outsiders are leaders. When it doesn’t, even Bengalis are ousiders,” the post said.
The TMC said Bengal does not need BJP’s certificate to decide who belongs here as “your hate-driven narrative won’t work here.”

Buddhist groups from across India come together to organise 20th Annual International Tipitaka Chanting Ceremony
This marks the first time in the event's history that such a broad coalition has come forward to collectively organise the event that has been held continuously since 2006 by Wangmo Dixey, the Founder and Executive Director of the Light of Buddha Dharma Foundation International (LBDFI- USA) whose father is a Buddhist monk.
The chanting is followed by the commemorative walk (of retracing the Buddha's footsteps) from Jethian Valley to the bamboo grove of Venuvana in Rajgir. The event will be held from December 2-13.
Dixey added that it was a great honour to bring the sound of Dharma back to the Motherland of India, and that so many eminent Sangha members and laypeople were joining in this great endeavour. "We are grateful to all the Indian and international participants who make this ceremony so auspicious and fruitful. May we dedicate all our good actions to inner harmony and world peace for the benefit of all beings."
This year's unified leadership by India's diverse Buddhist communities reflects a renewed commitment of over 15,000 Indian monks and laypeople are expected to attend, with international devotees from America, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos PDR, Indonesia, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam also in attendance. 1000 volunteers will assist in the organization of this great gathering.
On the opening day, the Chief Guest will be Pema Khandu, Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, and Chawana Mein will be the Guest of Honour. On December 6, Kiren Rijiju will be the Chief Guest, and on December 12, Nitin Gadkari will be the Chief guest for the closing ceremony. Many other VIPs are also expected to be in attendance during the event, according to the information received by LBDFI, the statement said.
The President of the core committee of the International Tipitaka Chanting Committee (ITCC) of India is Sanghasena Mahathero of the Mahabodhi International Meditation Centre, Ladakh. The 12-day festival is being sponsored by many Buddhist organisations of India including the Mahabodhi Society of Bangalore who are contributing in a significant way towards the success of the project. The IBC will be sponsoring a cultural group that will perform on the opening day of the Chanting programme, the statement added.
Sanghasena highlighted that under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi the sacred relics of the Buddha from India have been on exposition to many nations for the larger benefit and veneration of the global Buddhist community. The Prime Minister in his leadership is well- balancing the mind and the heart (spiritual) side of humanity.
"India has already been the Vishwa Guru in the past, as we had Buddha! Now we are trying to retrieve that position by spreading the message of Buddha, of peace, compassion and non-violence." He added.
The Director General of the International Buddhist Confederation, Abhijit Halder explaining the importance of chanting, noted that it not only purifies the mind but also brings discipline and oneness to the body. "When a congregation chants in unison, it is purifying the environment as well as the individual. The atmosphere elevates a person to a completely different level, making the experience almost ethereal," he described.
On December 2, the event will open with a major Buddhist procession at 8:00 am, following which a ten-day program of chanting from the Pali Canon alongside evening Dharma talks in Hindi and English will be offered. A 30,000 square foot food tent will be erected on the Kalachakra grounds beside the main temple and food will be offered to all participants. Each day various countries will offer dana to the senior international monks present at the event. On December 13, the assembly will take the walking pathway from the Jethian Valley to the Bamboo Grove, the site of an ancient meditation park on the outskirts of Rajgir. It is expected that this year a thousand followers are expected to join in this historical walk, the statement mentioned.
The Tipitaka are scriptures, containing the teachings of the Buddha. The Tipitaka is revered not only as a spiritual guide but also as a monumental literary and philosophical work that reflects the intellectual and cultural landscape of ancient India.
This year the program will feature daily recitations of the Buddha's teachings in Pali under the Bodhi Tree, discourses by Dhamma gurus, question-and-answer sessions, an art gallery, and cultural performances by artists from India and abroad. A major highlight this year is the consecration and donation of 220 four-foot golden Buddha statues, handcrafted in Odisha, to lay devotees and communities across India. These statues, representing wisdom and compassion, will serve as spiritual foundations for new temples, meditation centres, and community spaces around India, marking a resurgence of Buddha Dhamma in its sacred homeland.
