Literary Meet for Tolerance

Dakshinayana and Gram Seva Sangh

2 September 2018, Sunday, 10 AM to 6 PM

Senate Hall, Central College Campus, Bengaluru

Friends,

Indian society is being fragmented. We are facing dangers seen rarely in history.

Humanity in religion, lifestyles, coexistence are getting destroyed. The march of mechanized civilization, economic upheavals, destruction of the village, elimination of livelihoods seems unstoppable. Although the true reasons for such crises are different, they are being transformed into religious issues. The human dimensions of religion are being ignored in the widespread propaganda to project religion in terms of either perverse exclusivism or historical retribution. As a result, intolerance and hatred are finding easy justification and the constitution is being systematically subverted.

Literature has always found its inner strength in times of a crisis through a dialogue with the community. Our responsibility therefore at this juncture is to initiate dialogue within our own communities to counter the current situation. We need to explore ways to do this together. In this background, Dakshinayana and Gram Seva Sangh have come together to host an Indian Literary Meet at the Senate Hall of Central College (now a part of the Central University of Bangalore). In the meet, writers in Kannada will be joined by many other language writers from across India.

The Meet will address two central ideas: pacification of all forms of religious extremism and rebuilding the village, while also celebrating the innate sense of goodness of all humans. We expect that the meet will provide a new direction to Kannada Literature as well as to Indian Literature at large.

We, the writers and artists, are committed to taking the responsibility of restoring tolerance in society. We shall each go to our backyards and dialogue with our communities.

We extend a warm personal invitation to you to be part of this Literary Meet for Tolerance.

Thank You

Rajendra Chenni Prasanna

ಸೆನೇಟ್ ಭವನ, ಸೆಂಟ್ರಲ್ ಕಾಲೇಜು ಆವರಣ, ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು

ಗೆಳೆಯರೇ,

ಭಾರತೀಯ ಸಮಾಜವು ಛಿದ್ರವಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಚರಿತ್ರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಪರೂಪಕ್ಕೆ ನೋಡಿದಂಥ ಅಪಾಯವು ನಮ್ಮೆದುರಿಗಿದೆ. ಮನುಷ್ಯಪರ ಧರ್ಮಗಳು, ಜೀವನ ಕ್ರಮಗಳು, ಸಹಬಾಳ್ವೆಯ ರೀತಿಗಳು ನಾಶವಾಗುತ್ತಿವೆ. ಯಂತ್ರ ನಾಗರೀಕತೆ, ಆರ್ಥಿಕ ಏರುಪೇರುಗಳು, ಗ್ರಾಮನಾಶ, ಕಸುಬುನಾಶ ಅವ್ಯಾಹತವಾಗಿ ನಡೆದಿವೆ. ಬಿಕ್ಕಟ್ಟುಗಳ ನಿಜ ಸ್ವರೂಪ ಬೇರೆಯೇ ಆದರೂ ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಧಾರ್ಮಿಕ ಸಂಗತಿಗಳನ್ನಾಗಿ ಪರಿವರ್ತಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಧರ್ಮಗಳ ಮಾನವೀಯ ಅಂಶಗಳನ್ನು ಬದಿಗೊತ್ತಿರುವ ಈ ಆಕ್ರಾಮಕ ವಿಕೃತಿಯನ್ನು ಧಾರ್ಮಿಕತೆಯೆಂದು ಪ್ರಚಾರ ಮಾಡಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಪರಿಣಾಮವಾಗಿ ಅಸಹಿಷ್ಣುತೆ, ದ್ವೇಷ ಪ್ರತಿಪಾದನೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿವೆ. ಸಂವಿಧಾನವನ್ನು ಬುಡಮೇಲು ಮಾಡಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.

ಬಿಕ್ಕಟ್ಟಿನ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯವು ತನ್ನ ಅಂತಃಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಕಂಡುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತದೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಸಮುದಾಯಗಳ ಒಡನೆ ಸಂಭಾಷಣೆಯನ್ನು ಆರಂಭಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಈಗ ನಮ್ಮೆದುರಿಗೆ ಇರುವ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿಯೆಂದರೆ ನಮ್ಮ ನಮ್ಮ ಸಮುದಾಯಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮಾತುಕತೆಗೆ ತೊಡಗಬೇಕಾದ ಅಗತ್ಯವಿದೆ. ನಾವೆಲ್ಲ ಸೇರಿ ಹೊಸ ದಾರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕಬೇಕಾಗಿದೆ. ಈ ಹಿನ್ನೆಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ 2 ಸೆಪ್ಟೆಂಬರ್ 2018ರ ಭಾನುವಾರದಂದು ಭಾರತೀಯ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಸಮ್ಮೇಳವನ್ನು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಸೆಂಟ್ರಲ್ ಕಾಲೇಜಿನ ಸೆನೇಟ್ ಭವನದಲ್ಲಿ (ಅದು ಈಗ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಕೇಂದ್ರೀಯ ವಿಶ್ವವಿದ್ಯಾಲಯದ ಭಾಗವಾಗಿದೆ) ಏರ್ಪಡಿಸಲು ದಕ್ಷಿಣಾಯಣ ಹಾಗೂ ಗ್ರಾಮ ಸೇವಾ ಸಂಘಗಳು ಜೊತೆಗೂಡುತ್ತಿವೆ. ಈ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಸಮ್ಮೇಳನದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಬರಹಗಾರರ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಅನೇಕ ರಾಜ್ಯಗಳ ವಿವಿಧ ಭಾಷೆಯ ಬರಹಗಾರರು ಕೂಡ ದನಿಗೂಡಿಸಲಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಎಲ್ಲ ಬಗೆಯ ಧಾರ್ಮಿಕ ಉಗ್ರವಾದವನ್ನು ಶಮನಗೊಳಿಸುವುದು ಮತ್ತು ಗ್ರಾಮಗಳನ್ನು ಕಟ್ಟುವುದು, ಇವೇ ಈ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಸಮ್ಮೇಳನದ ಎರಡು ಪ್ರಧಾನ ಆಶಯಗಳಾಗಿವೆ. ಎಲ್ಲ ಮನುಷ್ಯರೊಳಗೆ ತುಡಿಯುವ ಅಂತಃಕರಣವನ್ನು ಸಂಭ್ರಮಿಸುವುದೂ ಕೂಡ ಸಮ್ಮೇಳನದ ಉದ್ದೇಶವಾಗಿದೆ. ಈ ಸಮ್ಮೇಳನವು ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಭಾರತೀಯ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಒಂದು ಹೊಸ ತಿರುವನ್ನು ಕೊಡಲಿದೆಯೆಂದು ನಿರೀಕ್ಷಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇವೆ.

ನಾವು ಲೇಖಕರು, ಕಲಾವಿದರು, ಸಹಿಷ್ಣುತೆಯ ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿಯನ್ನು ಹೊರಲಿಕ್ಕೆ ಸಿದ್ಧರಾಗಿದ್ದೇವೆ. ನಾವು ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬರೂ ನಮ್ಮ ನಮ್ಮ ಹಿತ್ತಲಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಸಮುದಾಯದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತೇವೆ.

ದಕ್ಷಿಣಾಯಣ

ದಕ್ಷಿಣಾಯಣವು ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ದ ವಿಮರ್ಶಕ ಹಾಗೂ ಭಾಷಾತಜ್ಞರಾದ ಪ್ರೊ. ಗಣೇಶ್ ದೇವಿಯವರ ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶನದಲ್ಲಿ ಜೊತೆಗೂಡಿದ ಭಾರತೀಯ ಬರಹಗಾರರ, ಕಲಾವಿದರ, ಚಲನಚಿತ್ರ ನಿರ್ದೇಶಕರ ಚಳುವಳಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದು ಪ್ರಜಾಪ್ರಭುತ್ವವಾದಿ, ಅಭಿವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ ಪರವಾದ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಭಾಷೆಗಳ ಬರಹಗಾರರು, ಕಲಾವಿದರಿಗೆ ಒಂದು ವೇದಿಕೆಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಭಾರತದ ಅನೇಕ ರಾಜ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ದಕ್ಷಿಣಾಯಣವು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಕ್ರಿಯಾಶೀಲವಾಗಿದೆ ಇದರ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಶಾಖೆಯು ಕಳೆದ ವರ್ಷ ಶಿವಮೊಗ್ಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಚಾರಿತ್ರಿಕವಾದ ಸಮ್ಮೇಳನವನ್ನು ನಡೆಸಿತ್ತು. ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ಹತ್ಯೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಬಲಿಯಾದ ಪ್ರೊ.ಎಂ.ಎಂ. ಕಲುಬುರ್ಗಿ ಮತ್ತು ಗೌರಿ ಲಂಕೇಶರ ಪರವಾದ ಚಳುವಳಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸಕ್ರಿಯವಾಗಿ ಭಾಗವಹಿಸಿದೆ.

ಗ್ರಾಮ ಸೇವಾ ಸಂಘವು ಚಿಂತಕರು, ಸಾಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಕ ಚಳುವಳಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹುಟ್ಟುಹಾಕಿದ ಶ್ರೀ ಪ್ರಸನ್ನ ಅವರ ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶನದಲ್ಲಿ ಕ್ರಿಯಾಶೀಲವಾಗಿರುವ ಸಂಘಟನೆಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಗ್ರಾಮಸ್ವರಾಜ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಕೈಉತ್ಪನ್ನಗಳನ್ನು ತಯಾರಿಸುವ ಶ್ರಮಜೀವಿಗಳ ಪರವಾಗಿ ಜನಾಂದೋಲನವನ್ನು ನಡೆಸುತ್ತಲಿದೆ. ಯಂತ್ರನಾಗರಿಕತೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಅದರ ಫಲವಾಗಿ ಹುಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡಿರುವ ಎಲ್ಲ ಬಗೆಯ ಉಗ್ರವಾದವನ್ನು ಅದು ವಿರೋಧಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.

PROTEST Against Neglect of Handmade

Townhall, Bengaluru | 6th May-18 Sun 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm

This PROTEST is Continuation of #TaxDenialSatyagraha, where we demanded to zero the GST on all #TheHandmade Products. They have not fulfilled their promise yet!!! Come and support for the Handmaking People.
Join this Protest with eminent artists, writers, artisans, citizens ..,

Gram Seva Sangh supports the struggles for sustenance of hand-making people across India, who constitute a majority of its poor, disadvantaged and marginalized. Over the last year, Gram Seva Sangh has been spearheading a movement to enable sustainable livelihoods through better value for handmade products. As part of the movement, the Sangh has organized a wide-ranging Satyagraha across large parts of Karnataka, comprising peaceful protests, padayatras as well as a hunger strike, demanding zero-GST for handmade products.

Why this Protest?

Post independence, our political establishment has completely neglected the betterment of the lives and livelihoods of a majority in the country. As a result, a large number of our toiling countrymen are facing conditions of distress even while their livelihoods are simultaneously becoming untenable.

Widespread mechanization has imposed further difficulties on large sections of the people. It threatens the very survival of the common man while also resulting in a severe erosion of his dignity. It is only in recent years that we are becoming conscious of the consequences of mechanization. A fundamental outcome is the collapse of the markets for handmade products that in turn has destroyed the livelihoods of millions, while providing outsized benefits to a small number of people in the society. This is clearly seen in the rural and urban areas, in the lives of both the ordinary and the super-rich, in India as well across the world.

It is shocking to witness all political parties presenting themselves every five years in the best light through impeccable manifestos (and glowing reports of excellent plans and extraordinary achievements) on behalf of the poor and the marginalized, the villagers, the urbanites, and others in the country. It is equally tragic to witness the ordinary man, who should know better through experience, repeatedly falling for the false promises of the political classes of all parties.

In this context, Gram Seva Sangh has resolved to demand that all political parties deliver on their promises; and wake up to their responsibilities towards the common man. The demand will be placed through a massive protest planned to be held on Sunday, 6^th May 2018, at the Town Hall, Bengaluru, between 4:30 and 6:30 PM.

We invite you to attend this important event which is planned as a first in a series intended to enforce responsibility and sincerity on people’s representatives in fulfilling their promises. We urge you to help empower the people of the country through your vigorous participation in this event.

Please note that this protest is NOT against any specific party or government.

Our only demand is that all parties deliver on promises. Immediately.

Development to Displacements on the right-bank of Tungabhadra

Day 13
11 February, 2018
Hampapattana

The stretch from Mariammanhalli to Varadapura, our first pit-stop seemed like a land of transition, along with the landscape even people’s accent and food habits changed. For the first time in our journey from the North, we come across people who eat ragi, but not as much as those who live further south. Most people we spoke to, said they also eat other millets like Navane (Foxtail millet) and Same (Little millet).

Gangawathi

Just after we set from Kanakagiri early in the morning, we met two Kurubas Jamanna and Lingappa carrying their drums as they were waiting for a bus to their village. They perform drums in village festivals but their regular work is Shepherding, most communities earlier had one or other performing art skills.

Tavaregera (Tawaragera)

We set off early this morning from Gumgeri, as we had a long distance to cover ahead. Meanwhile, we took a brief stop in a beautiful temple premise in Hanchinala, a village for breakfast. On the side of the road, beautifully woven tents, pitched in an open field and a group of people, the nomadic Buda Beda Jangamas camp site!

Day 3 of the Padayatra
1 February 2018,
Saranamma Tayi MaTha, Sajjalagudda

Starting from Jawoor while the “Supermoon” was still setting, we walked along the high-walled dam area for a good 5km! On the other side of the road were a couple of villages stirring into motion along with the rising sun. Being close to the dam, few crops were grown here, most significantly Paddy, Cotton, Jowar and Chillies.

Day - 2 of Padayatra
January 31, 2018
Jaawoor

Greetings from Jaawoor! We reached here walking 13 Km from Jogundabhavi. On our way, we stopped at Narayanapur, a displaced village by the Basava Sagara Dam across River Krishna.

We spent most of the day at Kori Sangameshwara Gudi, a picturesque shrine by the banks of the river.

Under the shade of one tamarind and two Neem trees, this shrine is another example of harmony. The deity is worshiped by both Hindus and Muslims and the sanctum sanctorum is one of the most unique sights we have seen.

Come to Kodekal!

for

A Unity Convention of the Handmaking People

A Long March for the Handmade

Tue · Jan 30, 2018 · 10 am

Farmers, Weavers, Craftsman, Cowherds, Shepherds, Agricultural workers are all going to congregate at Kodekal for unity.

The unity of handmaking people, after all, has a long tradition. In Karnataka, during the twelfth century, saint Basava brought the handmaking people together. In the Fifteenth century, Saint Kodekal Basava and Saint Kanaka Dasa again brought them together. Manteswamy, another saint poet, took the call of unity, ‘down to the dark state’, as he called it. In the twentieth century Gandhiji and Ambedkar, through their sacrifice, constructed the unity of the handmaking people all over again.

National Symposium on ‘The Handmade’

Why Handmade?

Because we have become machine-made.

All civilizations are polarised entities. But unlike civilizations of the past, in this civilization the polarization is near complete. We, have killed the handmade, almost.
