Mangaluru: The 'Karnataka Konkani Sahitya Academy,' established in 1994 to foster the growth of Konkani language, literature, art, and culture, is now approaching its third decade of existence. However, a significant imbalance is evident within the Academy, as the Konkani-speaking Roman Catholic (RC) and Gowda Saraswat Brahmin (GSB) communities dominate its ranks. In contrast, the remaining 40 communities that speak Konkani, and are consequently members of the Academy, are notably underrepresented, raising concerns about equal representation within the institution.
