He said that Bhatkal should host a huge program in the upcoming years on Tipu Jayanti as his grand mother and second wife were from a Nawayath community. He has built various Mosques and temples in and around Bhatkal. He added that Britishers have injected poison of hatred against Tipu Sultan among our non Muslim brothers, as a result they are opposing this celebration.

He requested the BEO of Bhatkal to organize an exhibition on Tipu sultan in school and colleges ahead of Tipu Jayanti every year to educate the people about the achievement and noble works as a brave soldier.

Imtiyaz Ahmed Khan, lecturer of Anjuman PU College speaking on the occasion said they have to join hands with people of other religions to promote this culture. He said that Tipu must not be associated with his religion as he never discriminated between religions. People of different religions mourned on the death of Tipu as he loved his people. He finally thanked State govt for upholding the dignity of Tipu and organising celebration on his Birth Anniversary.

Tipu Sultan’s bravity and audacity were narrated by the general secretary of Majlis-e-Islah o Tanzeem Mohiuddin Altaf Kharuri.

Vice president of Majlise islah o tanzeem Inayatullah Shahbandri, Siddique Meeran, Taluk panchayat officer C.T Naik amongst others were present.

PM celebrates Diwali with troops; pays tribute to Abdul Hamid

November 11, 2015Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Community Involvement / Social Issuesmpositiveone@gmail.com

For the second successive year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated Diwali with troops today, saying the world looks at India with respect because of their valour and “character”, in comments that come against the backdrop of protests by several veterans over OROP.

He visited the Dograi War Memorial in Khasa in Amritsar and placed wreath at the venue of one of the toughest battles fought and won by Indian forces on September 22, 1965.
He also laid a wreath at the Asal Uttar Memorial near Valtoha on the Amritsar-Khem Karan road in Punjab and at the tomb of Company Quartermaster Havildar Abdul Hamid, A Param Vir Chakra recipient.

Modi noted that during the Asal Uttar battle in 1965, Hamid single handedly destroyed 3 enemy tanks and helped stop their offensive, in spite of being mortally wounded.

“Paying homage to CQMH Abdul Hamid. He was awarded the Param Vir Chakra posthumously for his gallantry,” Modi later tweeted.

Asal Uttar Memorial marks the Battle of Asal Uttar, which was one of the largest tank battles fought within Indian territory in 1965.

“Our forces captured/destroyed over 90 enemy tanks by the end of the Battle of Asal Uttar…During this battle CQMH Abdul Hamid single handedly destroyed three enemy tanks & helped stop their offensive, inspite of being mortally wounded,” Modi said in his tweets.

Addressing the troops in Khasa, he said, “I have come to celebrate Diwali with you. I am happy to get this opportunity..”

Hailing the soldiers, the Prime Minister said, “It is because of your valour, dedication and dreams that the whole world looks at India with respect. It is not only because of the uniform but character of the armed forces.”

He said India holds its head high in the comity of nations because the generations of leaders in the armed forces nurtured the forces.

“I congratulate those who have provided leadership over several years to the armed forces,” Modi said.

His tributes to the “character” of armed forces come against the backdrop of protests by a section of ex-servicemen over the “dilution” of ‘One Rank, One Pension’. Several war veterans have returned their medals as part of their protest.

Later, he tweeted, “I spent time with our soldiers and we had a wonderful conversation.”
This is the second successive Diwali that Modi spent with troops since becoming the Prime Minister. Last year on Diwali, he had paid a surprise visit to Siachen, the highest battleground in the world, to spend time with the troops.

Earlier in the day, he tweeted, “Today on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, I am visiting the border areas to spend time with our Jawans.”

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Modi also paid a visit to the Barki Memorial in Ferozepur, which was constructed in 1969 to commemorate the soldiers of the 7 Infantry Division killed in 1965 India-Pakistan War.

The memorial has a pillar in the centre, a Patton tank and a Barki milestone on the south along with a water fountain at its north. The 27-feet high pillar is built of red and white sandstone.

The lady with a legacy

November 10, 2015Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Freedom Fighters (under research project), Karnataka (under research project), Leaders, Sports, Travel & TourismA K Mehkri, AK Mehkri, AK Mehkri - Superintendent Engineer - Shimsa HydroElectric Station - Mysore, Dr M S Mehkri, Dr MS Mehkri, Dr MS Mehkri - Founder - Bangalore Medical College, Freedom Fighter of Karnataka, Indian Muslim Freedom Fighter, Indian Muslims, Javeed Mehkri, Junaid Mehkri, Karnataka Muslims, M E Mehkri - Freedom Fighter of India, ME Mehkri, MG Mehkri - Private Secretary - Yuvaraja of Mysore, Muslims of Bangalore, Muslims of India, Muslims of Karnatakampositiveone@gmail.com

As a young boy, Javeed Mehkri would watch his father spend hours with his favourite car — a 1950 model of Morris Oxford, better known in India as the Hindustan 14. Javeed not only learnt about the car and its mechanics but thoroughly enjoyed the drive in it to and from school.

The passion for the Morris Oxford is living on through four generations with Javeed now transferring the ownership of the car to his 22-year-old son Junaid Mehkri. Junaid shares as much passion for the classic beauty as his father.

The car has an interesting history to it and Javeed gets nostalgic when he settles down to talk about it. Javeed says, “My grandfather, AK Mehkri, purchased it. He was working as the superintendent of engineering in the Shimsha hydro-electric station in the erstwhile princely state of Mysore. The car was initially registered and used in Mysore for three years, after which my great grandfather moved to Bengaluru. The car has been with us since,” explains Javeed.

Almost every member of the Mehkri family has driven the car. Those who revelled at its wheel include MG Mehkri, private secretary to the Yuvaraja of Mysore; Dr MS Mehkri, founder of the Bangalore Medical College; and ME Mehkri, a freedom fighter and a well-known philanthropist. “In fact, the landmark, Mehkri Circle, is named after ME Mehkri,” adds Javeed.

Decades after, the car has been restored with some of its parts being replaced and brought to perfect working condition. “The car was taken care of by Rasheed Mehkri, my late uncle. Rasheed passed away in 2013 and wasn’t there to see the car in running condition,” says Javeed.

However, he admits that the biggest challenge, is to maintain the car. “Spare parts for the American-made vintage and classic cars are available online but you will never find perfect spares for British classic vehicles in India. I got some of the parts replicated here but again you have to personally supervise it to make sure you are not taken for a ride. It is an expensive and time-consuming process to maintain these cars,” he says.

Javeed says among those who were drawn to his car was former prime minister of Nepal, Tulsi Giri. “There’s a church just opposite our house and he used to visit the church whenever he was in the City. Once, he saw the car parked outside my house and he asked me why I didn’t do anything to get it back on the roads. When he returned six months later, he again asked me the same question. I got the same advice from my cousin Sajjad. All this hastened the restoration process,” adds Javeed.

Among Javeed’s prized possession is also a 1960 model Lambretta Scooter — his father’s first purchase. “My father rode it and I used to go to college on it. Now, my youngest son Uzair gets dropped by the scooter once in a while,” he says. Like other youngsters of their age — Junaid and Uzair — love swanky cars but they value their two prized possessions more.

The Morris Oxford has been a regular at Karnataka Vintage and Classic Car Club rally for the last two years. And Javeed loves basking in all the adulation the car draws. “It was during one of the rallies that a lady in a car stopped beside us. She asked me: ‘How old is she?’ I said 65. She smiled and said: ‘She’s my age’. Total strangers admire and compliment me on the car,” he narrates.

Death of a book connoisseur

November 7, 2015Arts, Culture & Entertainmentmpositiveone@gmail.com

The death of Mohammed Bafanna, who used to run Haziq-N-Mohi, has come as a shock to lovers of rare books

At about 3 a.m. on October 17, 67-year-old Ahmed Bin Mohammed Bafanna breathed his last at his house in the lanes of Himmatpura near Charminar. While many may not be aware of his existence, his passing away has come as a shock, especially for Urdu and Persian literature lovers, who would contact him whenever they needed rare books which they could not find.

And nobody knows the importance of Haziq-N-Mohi Rare Book Suppliers, Buyers and Exporters better than 42-year-old Khaled Bafanna, the youngest of the late Mr. Bafanna’s siblings. “He had been running the store for about 50 years, selling rare books and buying them. We have now got two book experts to help us in running the shop, which all of us brothers will run together,” said Khaled. Situated in a small lane after Chowk Masjid near Laad Bazar area, Mr. Bafanna’s book store is one place where anyone looking for something different or a particular book from a certain period would never be disappointed.

The 50-year-plus old shop was set up by him after he inherited his grandfather’s collection of books from his library. Later, he began purchasing books from Nawabs and others, who sold their books to add to his collection. “He was introduced to Persian, Urdu, English and French literature by our grandfather Salim Bin Ali Bafna Jamedar, who came here from Yemen, and used to work for the then Nizam government,” said Khaled. With the passing away of Mr. Bafanna, his siblings have vowed to run the shop with the same passion their oldest brother had for it. “It’s a big responsibility. Ahmed had a good knowledge of books, as he was with our grandfather, who had a vast collection of books and who also loved him the most. Later, while in college, our brother began collecting books and started the shop,” explained Khaled. In fact, their oldest brother’s passion was so well known at the Sunday morning book bazaar at Abids that sellers would call him and inform him whenever they had any rare book.

Ever since his demise, Khaled has been receiving calls from different countries, who are their customers. Apart from the two experts they have sought help from, his two nephews will also soon help them run the shop. “More than selling, he loved collecting rare books, which was his passion. For that, he had even learnt French apart from Arabic and Persian,” said Abdallah Bafanna, another sibling.

Both the brothers said that their oldest brother did not suffer from any acute illness, and that Mr. Bafanna’s death came as a shock to them as well. “He just had fever and cold from three days before he passed away. In fact, the doctor had also checked his health a day before, and said that he could start working again from the next day,” said Khaled.

Among others, Mr. Bafanna had also supplied Persian sources to author William Dalrymple for his book White Mughals . Having never married, he was the oldest among seven siblings, out of which five are alive today. The shop would be open from October 26, said Khaled.

Tipu’s b’day bash divides opinion

November 7, 2015Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Leaders, Travel & Tourismmpositiveone@gmail.com

Bengaluru :

The state government’s move to celebrate Mysuru warrior Tipu Sultan’s birth anniversary as an official event across Karnataka on November 10 has ruffled the BJP and right-wing groups. They’ve opposed the government’s move to celebrate the event in a grand manner, terming the ruler as anti-national.

The decision to commemorate Tipu’s birth anniversary as a state-sponsored one was made by chief minister Siddaramaiah at the release of a book on Tipu in 2014.The BJP has accused the CM of trying to appease the minorities with the decision and has opposed the setting up of a university named after the ruler. Senior BJP leader D H Shankaramurthy, who is chairman of the Karnataka legislative council, told TOI that though he cannot comment on the celebrations, he will not attend the main function in Bengaluru.

The government’s move has cleaved opinion on Tipu, with historians, writers and politicians on both sides. While historian M Chidananda Murthy has likened Tipu to Adolf Hitler, writer S Shettar says reviling the rule without research is abuse of scholarship. Shettar said, “Condemning Tipu as anti-Hindu without properly studying the facts about his contributions and administration amounts to abuse of our scholarship. It is possible that Tipu might have hurt the sentiments of a particular community during his rule which could be a political compulsion rath er than his hatred for that community.

The scholars.” With less than a week for the function, right wing groups have gone into a huddle deliberating ways to oppose. BJP legislator from Mysuru, Go Madhusudan, is against setting up of a Tipu varsity , claiming that Tipu had offered support to Afghan ruler Ahmed Khan Abdali in waging war against India. “This shows he was an anti-national and doesn’t deserve to be venerated,” he said.

Historian Talakadu Chikkarange Gowda debunks theories that the ruler killed Hindus for refusing to convert to Islam. “In 1781, Peshwa Parasuram Bahu pillaged Sringeri Shankaracharya’s mutt. It was Tipu who came to the mutt’s rescue. Do right-wingers know that Chhatrapati Shivaji was betrayed by his own Peshwas,” he asked.

He also pointed to temples in the vicinity of Tipu’s palaces in Mysuru or Bengaluru. “I agree there are lapses on his part. But one mistake should be overlooked for the 99 other welfare measures he brought in,” he added.

Barkur Udaya, assistant professor, department of history, Mangalore University, said the anti-Tipu brigade is only reiterating Britishers’ view of him as a traitor.

Who is the superstar?

November 7, 2015Arts, Culture & Entertainmentmpositiveone@gmail.com

Shahrukh Khan has managed to become the darling of the press and the public. He’s forthright and speaks his mind but is never offensive

It’s strange. The troika of superstars that bamboozles pundits and blazes the box-office and effortlessly breaks records seemingly every single time in Hindi cinema are fifty years old. While Aamir and Shahrukh have touched the landmark, Salman is just shy of it. As far as I’m concerned, nobody has yet occupied the throne left by Amitabh Bachchan. The three Khans occupy it temporarily depending on the financial figures thrown up by their last release. It’s a throne with thorns. Right now Salman sits uneasily on it after the humungous success of ‘Bhajrangi Bhaijan’. Shahrukh’s next release could unseat him, albeit temporarily. Among the three, Shahrukh is the outsider with absolutely no ‘filmi’ background. Connections don’t guarantee success but there’s an aura of respect when you make it without a reference that’ll open doors.

Shahrukh has come a long way. Essentially a budding sportsman, he was the typical, aimless teenager who was befuddled by the choices that lay before him. A bad back injury scuttled the chances of his appearing in the sports pages. He wanted to chase an MBA but ended up pursuing a course in Mass Communication which was akin to learning filmmaking. Theatre beckoned and he joined Barry John. Hindi cinema was the last thing on his mind. Trained in theatre, he probably had a condescending attitude towards cinema. “I felt Hindi cinema was not for serious actors. The attitude at that age foolishly was that I was better equipped,” said Shahrukh, when I had interviewed him during ‘Dil Se’. “The actors I liked were Naseer Saab, Kamal Haasan and Smita Patil. I thought they were the ones who knew about acting.” Well, destiny had different designs for him. Lekh Tandon watched a play and recommended he do a TV serial. “TV was just becoming big and Aziz and Saeed Mirza were the kind of makers I liked.” Shahrukh became popular with mothers wanting to lovingly ruffle his mop of mane and girls dreaming of drowning in his dimples. “I’d promised my sister and Gauri that I’d commute between Delhi and Bombay. Kundan Shah and Mani Kaul told me I had a third dimension as an actor and I succumbed. On June 26th, 1991, I signed four films, with FC Mehra, Hema Malini, Rakesh Roshan and GP Sippy. Four days later, I signed ‘Deewana’. I was stuck in Bombay,” he had said.

Success did not come overnight but there was something about him that audiences identified with and it was not just moony-eyed females. There was an aura about him that permeated earnestness and sensitivity. Add to that the fact that there were not even whispers of any kind of misdemeanour. He laughed when I suggested that there were more women envious of his wife because he professed monogamy, than men who envied his success. “My wife tells me the same thing but says that’s because they don’t know me. I’m not a fantastic husband. I think she’s a better person. I’ve just been monogamous so far. I don’t even promise that in the future. I may fall in love with someone else and I’ve told my wife that too. I’m basically shy. I belong to a time when platonic relationships are possible. Gauri is quite wonderful. She’s not very sweet to me neither is she very caring. As a matter of fact, she’s not very nice to me either. I like her for what she is. She smiles when she sees me which is not very often but I know that smile is exclusively for me.

I’ve never made claims that I’m a one woman man, it’s just that I’ve never thought of sleeping with the girls I work with. I’m not that kind of person. I love intelligent, good-looking women but don’t see them as objects of desire. Beyond that we’re not even very compatible, ,” said the star who speaks sans a pause but with rare candour.

Success does strange things to people. Some develop a demeanour of arrogance as a defence mechanism. The lack of privacy becomes an irritant strangely after craving for adulation and attention. Shahrukh has managed to become the darling of the press and the public. He’s forthright and speaks his mind but is never offensive. He confessed that he loved the lack of privacy. “If I were private I’d be alone. I’d rather have the problem of walking into a restaurant and being mobbed than walk along Chandni Chowk unrecognised. An actor spends half his life trying to be recognised and the rest wearing dark glasses. It’s stupid. I’m myself in public. I’m an honest actor. I don’t want people to feel I’m different or superior. If you ask me what makes me a successful actor I’d say it’s because I’m forthright. I don’t have the voice of Amitabh, the acting capability of Kamal, the dancing prowess of Prabhu Deva or the comic timing of Govinda,” he had said.

Shahrukh is hardworking, humble and hassle-free as Mani Ratnam mentioned. His greatest asset is that he knows his limitations and doesn’t try to be someone he’s not or can’t be. His energy levels and drive could be the envy of today’s teenagers. He’s at the pinnacle of success and his powers as an entertainer and performer. For him fifty is just a number.

The Muse speaks from prison

November 4, 2015Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Community Involvement / Social Issues, Leadersmpositiveone@gmail.com

Poems by ten people who were imprisoned during the Emergency.

The Emergency in 1975 has had many gruesome after-effects. But ‘Thadavara Kavithakal’ is one positive outcome of the times.

The anthology, the English translation of which is getting ready to be published soon under the title ‘Poems from the Prison’, consists of poems penned by ten people who had been imprisoned during the emergency for various reasons. It was their endless days in prison that unearthed the poets in most of them.

The anthology in Malayalam was first published in 1977, edited by Civic Chandran, one of the poets, and republished with extensive notes and memoirs in 2010. Some of the poems had been translated and used in various English anthologies over the time.

The cover photo of 'Thadavara kavithakal' the English translation of which is getting ready to be published. — The cover photo of ‘Thadavara kavithakal’ the English translation of which is getting ready to be published.

First time

This is for the first time an attempt was made to translate the anthology completely into English and published as one book.

Freshly translated by noted Malayalam poet K. Satchidanandan, with a foreword by Balachandran Chullikkad, the anthology carries 25 poems by ten poets, most of whom are still alive, while a few like Muhammed Ali and Udayabhanu have bid adieu to this world.

The remaining — M. Somanathan, V. K. Prabhakaran, M. M. Somasekharan, Das (Kuttikrishnan), C. K. Raghunath, Purushothaman, C. K. Abdul Azees and Civic Chandran –- are mostly still active as writers, theoreticians, editors and activists, having moved away from the Maoist ideology that had stirred them in the Seventies.

The poems are on diverse themes. ‘An evening note’ by P. Udayabhanu recalls the turbulent times when revolution was brewing across the country while V.K. Prabhakaran’s ‘The People of my village’ is about the unrest beneath the surface.

However, they are marked by certain recurring symbols such as storm and rain and the spirit of revolution.
