Mangaluru, Aug 5: Even as the students of St Thomas Aided Higher Primary School at Bondanthila in Mangaluru taluk, rubbished the allegations of compulsory' Arabic class, the Sri Ram Sena has continued to accuse the school management of forcibly' teaching Arabic. The saffron outfit has also demanded the school headmaster to withdraw complaint against the Hindutva activists.

Addressing media persons here on Friday Mahesh Kumar Koppa, Karnataka state unit president of the Sena, warned to hold massive protests in front of all Catholic churches in Dakshina Kannada if the case was not withdrawn.

Describing the act of miscreants, who barged into the school, as their “democratic right”, Mr Koppa said that it was just a visit following the request of some of the parents and not an act of rowdyism. According to eye witnesses, the miscreants had threatened the teacher and even snatched books from the students when the Arabic class was going on.

“Our activists had visited the school peacefully and submitted a representation to headmaster Melwyn Braggs urging him to stop Arabic classes. He had also agreed to fulfil our demand”, Mr Koppa said and added that later Mr Braggs lodged a false complaint against the activists.

At the behest of school management, the police have filed charges of trespassing and preventing a government official from discharging their duties against the members. The false case should be withdrawn, he demanded.

Claiming that there was a political motive behind filing such cases against Hinduvta activists, he held Catholic churches responsible for this. “We will hold protest against this and also will wage a legal battle,” he said.

ISIS terrorists!

Mr Koppa suspected the hand of “conversion racket” behind Arabic teaching in the school managed by Christians. He went on to claim that such classes will motivate people to become ISIS terrorists. Instead of Arabic, the school can teach Tulu script, Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana and Mahabharata and other Hindu scriptures, he suggested.

Mr Koppa also said that the State government and the district administration should immediately intervene in the cases of schools teaching Arabic without obtaining permission.

“How can they teach Arabic in a government aided school?” he argued and urged the government not to spend tax-payers money for this school and its teachers. He also exhorted the education department to conduct a probe into the incidents of teaching Arabic.

Arabic is the universal language,in middle east and in African countries this is the language of all faith of people. By learning Arabic one can gain more knowledge and understanding. Thousands of our co-citizens are employed in gulf countries are very much sure that the knowing of Arabic language is the plus point for their earnings there. Which make our countries economy stable.
Narrow mind thinking is not at all good for any civilized society.

This Koppa needs to be admitted to a mental hospital. He is not normal. Christians convert; Muslims are terrorists and Dalits are beef eaters and beef is more important than humans. By repeating lies, lies do not become truths. Send the entire gang of BJP, RSS, VHP, BD and Rama Sene to Andamans. They need to be exiled for peace in Mangalore

Why you people are not fighting to make Sanskrit a compulsory language?. I feel it should be done so that everyone should learn the Holy Vedas. do you know that Gayathri Manthra in the arabic version is the first chapter of the Quran
Gayathri Manthra : OM BhurBhuva Swaha
Tatsavitur Varenyam
Bhargo devasya
Dheemahi Dhiyo Yonaha
Prachodayat
Meaning: we meditate on the Glory of the Creator who has created the universe who is worthy of worship who is embodiment of knowledge and light who is the remover of sin and ignorance May He open our hearts and May He guide us

Al Fathiha First chapter :
In the name of the Lord most merciful most beneficent
Praise be to the Lord of the universe Most merciful most Beneficent
Master of the day of judgement
To you alone we worship and to you alone we ask for help
Guide us to the straight path
The path of those whom you have blessed and not the path of those on whom your anger has fallen and not those who have gone astray

I agree with Bhaira. What's the necessity of fighting with Christians, who are also victims of Islamic terrorism. Hindus and Christians should unitedly fight terror community.

This Sri Rama Sena is a curse. Doing all unnecessary things. This group is actually funded by Saudi Arabia. They want to curb true Hindutva groups such as Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad.

The Karnataka Police’s Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) achieved a major breakthrough on Monday night by eliminating Vikram Gowda, one of Karnataka’s most wanted Naxal leaders for over two decades. The encounter occurred in the dense Kabbinale forest of Udupi district, marking a significant victory against Naxal insurgency in the region.

Who Was Vikram Gowda?

Hailing from Hebri in Udupi, Vikram Gowda, 44, was a prominent figure in the Naxal movement. He went underground in 2002, initially serving as a courier and fund collector before rising to lead a breakaway Naxal group. Despite having only a fourth-grade education, he was a staunch advocate for tribal rights and a key player in the movement’s survival in Karnataka.

Bounty: ₹3 lakh from Karnataka and ₹50,000 from Kerala.

Legacy: The last major Naxal leader in Karnataka after the 2021 arrest of B G Krishnamurthy.

The Encounter

Police revealed that Gowda and his team visited Kabbinale village to collect groceries on Monday night. Acting on a tip-off, ANF ambushed the group. When the Naxals opened fire, ANF responded, leading to Gowda's death.

Escapees: Three Naxals fled, including prominent members Latha (aka Mundgaru Latha) and Raju.

Significance: This was the first Naxal casualty in Karnataka in over two decades.

Home Minister G. Parameshwara confirmed the operation, stating, “Gowda was elusive for 20 years, escaping multiple encounters. His death is a critical step in dismantling Naxal operations in the region.”

The Decline of Naxal Activity in Karnataka

Karnataka's Naxal movement has been dwindling, with members seeking refuge in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The group’s strength had reduced to just 19 members by 2018, but recent sightings indicate attempts at revival:

2023 Activity: Reports of Gowda-led movements in the Kodagu and Hassan districts reignited concerns.

Political Heat: The BJP criticised the Congress government, alleging it created a “safe haven” for Naxals.

A Glimpse into Gowda’s Past

Personal Life: Gowda’s ex-wife, Savitri (alias Rajita), was arrested in 2021. She was a senior Naxal commander involved in insurgency since 2004.
Rehabilitation Efforts: Since 2013, Karnataka’s rehabilitation policy has seen 14 Naxals surrender and reintegrate into mainstream society.

A Milestone in Karnataka’s Fight Against Insurgency

The operation signifies a decisive blow to Naxal resurgence in the Western Ghats. While the ANF continues its search for escapees, the Karnataka government reaffirmed its commitment to offering rehabilitation to those willing to surrender.

As Karnataka celebrates this triumph, the message is clear: there is no room for insurgency in the state.

Udupi: The Tourism Department is planning a major eco-friendly development initiative for Kamini Island, located near the Blue Flag-certified Padubidri End Point beach, aiming to attract more visitors while maintaining environmental sustainability.

Assistant Director Kumar CU emphasized that, given the island’s proximity to the Blue Flag beach, all development efforts will center around eco-friendly practices. “We are looking to enhance the Kamini River and the island’s surroundings by adding a hanging bridge, nature trails, and eco-friendly food courts offering traditional cuisine. Visitors will also be able to reach the island by pedal boats or kayaking,” he said.

The development project is estimated to cost between Rs 3 crore and Rs 4 crore. Meanwhile, the Blue Flag beach, Padubidri, continues to see a steady flow of visitors. Vijay Shetty, manager of the beach, shared that tenders for food courts and water sports have been awarded to private parties. Recently, three new coracles have been introduced, which are proving to be a hit with visitors. Additionally, three more shelters are expected to be ready by November 20.

Shetty mentioned that the beach can now accommodate between 2,500 and 3,000 visitors daily, although footfall remains lower than other district beaches due to user fees and activity restrictions. “Initially, most visitors were from Mangaluru, but now nearly 40% come from other districts, showing a shift in the visitor demographics,” Shetty noted.

To further boost tourism and promote a healthy lifestyle, a Beach Carnival is set to take place on November 23-24, featuring the National Sea Swimming Championship and a sea marathon in collaboration with the Padubidri JCI, which is celebrating its golden jubilee. Cultural events will be held at the main beach, with some sports events taking place at the Blue Flag beach. Emphasis will be placed on making all activities environmentally friendly.

Udupi, Nov 11: A traveller reportedly lost ₹4.1 lakh after attempting to book a cab online in Udupi. 

At around 1:30 PM on November 7, the man from West Bengal searched for car rentals on Google and selected a website named "Shakti Car Rentals." Shortly after, he was contacted by someone claiming to be "Rohit Sharma," who directed him to pay a registration fee of ₹150 on the site.

After unsuccessful payment attempts via both his Canara Bank debit card and SBI credit card (without receiving an OTP), "Rohit Sharma" instructed him to pay the driver directly. But at 1:47 PM, he received messages showing deductions of ₹3.3 lakh from his SBI credit card and ₹80,056 from his Canara Bank debit card, totaling ₹4.1 lakh.

The complainant alleges fraud through a deceptive link disguised as a booking token fee. A case has been registered at Udupi Town Police Station.
