Beary language’s extinction-survival is in the hands of Beary Community itself: M.B. Abdurrahman
Mangaluru, Oct 03: “Language researchers have warned that the languages spoken by less number of people around the world are at extinction. Such risks may arise if the western language is entirely adopted without giving respect to the mother tongue. Therefore, the Beary language’s extinction or survival is in the hands of the Beary community; opined M.B Abdurrahman, Karnataka Beary Sahitya Academy's first term president.
He was speaking after inaugurating the Beary Bhasha Dinacharane programme, organized by the Karnataka Beary Sahitya Academy at the town hall here on Wednesday.
“Initially, there was no idea that the government would announce the academy. Today, the Academy is doing well. But the survival or the development of the Beary language is not possible only through the Academy.”
“Rather, it is possible if all the Beary's respect their mother tongue by speaking it and indulging in literary activities. Otherwise, the Beary Language will come under threats. Therefore, we should know that the extinction and the survival of the Beary language are in our hands, M.B Abdurrahman added.
Program convener Basheer Baikampady welcomed the gathering. Tanseef B.M presented the vote of thanks, while Hussain Katipalla compered the programme.
Musliṁ lēkhakara saṅgha(MLS) President Umar U.H delivered a talk on the topic 'Beary Bhāṣhe Mattu Sāhitya Indu-Ninne-Nāḷe’.
The Academy chairman Karambar Muhammad released the CD of 'Abba' Beary movie songs. The trailer of the movie was also screened during the programme. The cultural program of the Beary songs by Abdusammad Katipalla was also conducted.

If you have a conscience, apologize to the people: R Ashoka slams Yathindra over Nalwadi comparison
Bengaluru: Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka launched a scathing attack on MLC Dr. Yathindra, demanding that he retract his controversial statement comparing Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to the late Maharaja Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar. Ashoka urged Yathindra to apologize to the people of Karnataka if he had even a shred of conscience and any respect for the Mysuru royal lineage.
In a strongly worded social media post on Sunday, Ashoka stated, “Comparing Siddaramaiah to Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar is nothing short of absurd. Where is Nalwadi, who was bestowed the title of ‘Rajarshi’ by Mahatma Gandhi himself, and where is Siddaramaiah, who has stooped to being a puppet in the hands of fake Gandhis for the sake of power?”
He continued his critique by contrasting the enduring legacy of Nalwadi, remembered fondly by Kannadigas for his people-centric development, with what he termed as Siddaramaiah’s failure to manage Karnataka’s economy, burdening every household with debt.
Ashoka highlighted several stark differences, while Nalwadi built Mysore University over a century ago, Siddaramaiah is shutting down nine universities due to lack of funds. Nalwadi famously sold his family’s gold to build the KRS dam, whereas Siddaramaiah is accused of grabbing 14 sites meant for the public. Nalwadi established Bhadravati Iron & Steel Plant, Sandalwood Soap Factory, and Mysore Paper Mills. In contrast, Ashoka claimed Siddaramaiah's governance drove away industries, investors, and entrepreneurs. Nalwadi pioneered reservations for the backward classes long before it became mainstream. Siddaramaiah, Ashoka alleged, is reducing social justice to a gimmick by sticking labels on doors in the name of surveys.
While acknowledging Yathindra’s emotional attachment to his father, Ashoka emphasized that comparing Siddaramaiah to a visionary like Nalwadi was “laughable, baseless, and a gross insult” to the late king.
In his concluding remarks, Ashoka slammed the government for ignoring farmers’ needs despite an early monsoon. He accused the administration of being caught up in internal power struggles and negligence, forcing farmers into despair. “This government will not be spared from the curse of the farmers,” he warned.
