It was an immersion into a varietyof perspectives over two days for

100 students and other members ofthe audience, as !lms and panel dis-cussions competed to offer insightsinto society through glimpses of lives.

The !lm festival, organised by theDepartment of Communication &Journalism in collaboration with theInternational Association of Womenin Radio & Television (IAWRT) Indiaand THEfdZONE, saw 17 !lms of vari-ous lengths screened and profession-als giving their take on the ‘hows’ and‘whys’ of !lms, media and society.

According to Allam Narayana,Chairperson, Telangana Press Acad-emy, globalisation is leading tomonolithic cultures. “As communitieslose their land, they lose their liveli-hood, environment and their cul-ture,” he said.

“The world today is divided into thedispossessed on the one hand and thewealthy on the other. The questionbefore us is whether the governments

of the day are on the side of the dis-possessed or on the side of Multi-Na-

tional Corporations,” he continued.Emphasising the need to hone the

skills of new entrants into the profes-sion, Narayana said he would work tolink journalism departments of Os-mania University and Potti SriramuluTelugu University with media organi-sations.

Addressing students and partici-pants, Uma Sudhir, Resident Editor,NDTV Hyderabad, advised journal-ism students to learn to tell a storyfrom a woman’s perspective. “The ad-vantage with telling a story from awoman’s perspective is that the storytends to be emotionally engaging.”

She also asked students to think ofnew ways of telling stories. “Eachgeneration has many new ways ofstory-telling open to them. Look forcreative ways of story-telling.” Sheemphasised the importance of the va-riety platforms available today on theInternet.

Dr. Hrishikesh Ingle, Film StudiesDepartment, English and Foreign Lan-guages University, spoke of theprocess of making documentaries. Hesaid, as a social intervention, docu-

mentary !lmmaking has to be a col-laborative process that brings togetherthe !lmmakers, the themes and theirviewers, leading to a more layered un-derstanding of social reality.

C. Vanaja, journalist, broadcasterand documentary !lmmaker, spokeabout her journey as a documentary!lmmaker. She narrated how as ajournalist she observed that themainstream media o"en ignoredmany stories of greater signi!canceto the people. She emphasised theimportance of integrity for a docu-mentary !lmmaker to be trusted bythe community and to represent theissues with honesty and warmth.

Saraswati Kavula, documentary!lmmaker and social activist, spokeof the complex and interconnectednature of themes like nuclear energy,displacement of the poor from irriga-tion project areas and issues like ille-gal mining. She narrated herexperiences in documenting such is-sues and using the !lms as a tool forraising public awareness.

The short !lms and documentarieswere selected from India, Philip-pines, Morocco, and Iran and cov-ered a wide range of themesincluding untouchability, globalisa-tion, climate change, traditionalcra"s, women, and acid attacks.

There’s good news for theDepartment of Communi-cation and Journalism,

which is celebrating 60 years ofits existence this year. It has re-ceived the approval of the Uni-versity Grants Commission(UGC) for a sum of Rs. 1.83crore for activities plannedunder the Centre for AdvancedStudy (CAS).

Under CAS Phase-II, whichruns from 2014 to 2019, the de-partment plans to undertakeresearch, establish a mediacredibility lab and documenta-tion centre, and strengthen in-frastructure to keep pace withthe industry requirements.

Speaking to OsmaniaCourier, Prof. Karnam Naren-der, Coordinator, CAS – II, saidthat this would add a lot ofvalue to the department interms of infrastructure.

“We have pitched for Rs. 2.23crore and the UGC was kindenough to sanction Rs 1.83crore. Now, we'll have an upgra-dation of both infrastructureand equipment,” he said.

The proposed media credibil-ity lab would create a mediacredibility index to gauge theperformance of the media, be-ginning with newspapers. Theresults would be published inthe form of periodic reports.

Described as one-of-its-kindin the country, the lab is beingset up with the hope of provid-ing inputs that help the media

strengthen their credibilitywhile also upholding their free-dom.

The CAS also proposes toopen a Mass CommunicationDocumentation Centre thatcompiles indices and preparesbibliographies, abstracts andmonographs related to the sub-ject.

This is expected to bridge theresource gap as there is cur-

rently no body nationally todocument the knowledge re-sources on media and alliedsubjects. The output of the doc-umentation centre would bemade publicly accessible.

“Every resource and input ofthe journalism hub will bemade available online. All aperson has to do is to get a one-time registration done,” saidProf. Narender.

In 2008, Osmania University’sJournalism department be-came the !rst in the country tobe conferred the status of Cen-tre for Advanced Study in Jour-nalism by the University GrantsCommission.

The Department has lined upa series of events throughoutthis year to mark its PlatinumJubilee.

In a massive show of strength,Osmania University’s teachingstaff staged a ‘Maha Dharna’protesting the meagre alloca-tion of funds in the recent Statebudget, and demanded that theGovernment settle their long-pending demands.

Over 500 teachers assembledin front of the Administrativeblock holding placards that de-cried the way the newly-electedGovernment was toeing theline of the previous Govern-ments in terms of budgetary al-locations to the University. Theteachers resented the govern-ment’s apathetic attitude to-wards the University in generaland the teaching and non-teaching staff in particular.

Giving details, Prof.B.Satya-narayana, Chairman, Telan-gana State University Teachers’Association, said that their re-peated pleas for a hike in the al-location fell on deaf ears andthey were forced to go onstrike.

He said that the governmenthad earmarked just Rs. 170.12crore to the University as in theprevious years, while the actualrequirement stood at Rs. 331.55crore. The allocations for otheruniversities in the State too re-mained the same as in the pre-vious years, while therequirement is much higher, hepointed out.

Andhra Pradesh Govern-ment, on the other hand, more

than doubled the outlay fromRs. 130.38 crore to Rs. 292.64crore.

The Joint Action Committeeof Teaching and Non-teachingStaff Associations of TelanganaUniversities said in a statementthat in all, Osmania Universityneeds a minimum of Rs. 16crore to disburse pensions andterminal bene!ts to the teach-ing and non-teaching staff. TheUniversity, despite the Govern-ment of India order to settlethe pension and pensionarybene!ts on the day of retire-ment, is not in a position to doso due to the shortfall.

Further, the University’s totalcommitment to pay the UGC re-vised pay scales, arrears 2006,is Rs. 78.37 crore while only Rs50.16 crore has been paid andthere is a need for Rs. 28.21crore. The commitment to-wards payment of pension ar-rears is Rs. 43 crore.

Raising several issues, for-mer Professor and Dean of Fac-ulty of Arts P.L.VishweshwarRao said that the Universityneeded a minimum of Rs. 520crore to meet all its !nancialneeds. He observed that theblock grant should be hiked by25 per cent every year due tocommitments following retire-ments of staff. Citing his case,he said that he had not been re-ceiving his pension since Janu-ary 2014.

Osmania University (OU) is OurUniversity. Today, its reputationas one of the leading Universitiesin the country is at stake. Our uni-versity is losing its charisma andits brand value is being dented.We, being a part of this historicuniversity, should set a bench-mark for the future generations.

The University has over theyears earned a reputation amongstudents that it’s the best place tostudy and to make great careers.Both local and foreign studentshave the same opinion. A studentfrom Afghanistan, who doesn’twant to be named, says that theycome here to get a degree be-cause Osmania has a brand repu-tation in their country. Manystudents are upset that the examsare always delayed and they hadto wait and wait to go back totheir country.

To what extent are we preserv-ing the University’s reputation isthe question before us. Is it nottime to move on from protestmode to persevere mode? A stu-dent comes to the university tostudy and score well and have abright future, but the scenariochanges as soon as he steps intothis university. He is greeted withprotests, strikes, dharnas, etc.

How do these !t in with themeaning of a university?

As I said above, we should un-derstand that it’s not ‘OsmaniaUniversity’ but it’s Our University,and we have to take the responsi-bility to maintain its dignity andreputation. And we should en-sure that our university prospersand retains its goodwill amongststudents. How do we do that? It’svery simple. We have to followthe rules and regulations set bythe University. We should not tryto change the almanac as per toour whims and fancies, becauseit affects everyone’s future.

A student is always desperateto study in a university. But asdays are passing Our University islosing its charm for reasons thatare hardly appropriate. As stu-dents, we should understand thata"er taking admission into the re-spective courses, we should nowtake an oath that we will followthe rules and regulations set bythe university and will gain theUniversity’s goodwill back andwill make our university prosperand progress in each and everyaspect.

We should be thankful to theNizam who thought many yearsahead of his time and gave us thiswonderful gi" in the form of uni-versity. We cannot think like himbut we should at least respectwhat we have and preserve its pu-rity and dignity.

Our Universityneeds us, now

VIEWPOINT

N. Sunitha Reddy

Students of Osmania Uni-versity have come out

strongly against the proposalto exclude marks scored inEnglish language section ingrading candidates in theCivil Services Aptitutde Test(CSAT).

Ravi, a student of Univer-sity College of Arts and So-cial Sciences, said, “ThoughI am from rural background,I want the government totest the candidates for Eng-lish skills in the Civil Serv-ices preliminaryexamination, so that we startpreparing for English beforethe exam. A Class I of!cer isexpected to know English ofX standard level.”

Several other students alsoresponded saying the pre-cious time of the nation andits leadership was beingwasted on a non-issue.

“If ‘no’ to CSAT, then ‘no’ toNational Defence Academyand all other UPSC exams,”Prudhvi, a student of Osma-nia University burst out.“The National Defence Acad-emy Entrance Examinationcarries 200 marks for Eng-lish. Now, even that shouldnot be counted for determin-ing merit to become a De-fence Of!cer. Not only NDA

and CSAT, English is testedin almost all the EntranceExaminations in the world,”he said.

Dayakar Reddy, father of astudent, said, “If someonecannot solve X standardMaths and reasoning, theycertainly should not !nd aplace in the Civil Sevices.These are tested in almostevery serious examination inthe world and are essentialto assess ones scholasticskills and are absolutely crit-ical for Civil Services.”

On one side are studentswho will be writing the examin English language andthere are quite a few who aredisappointed about thechange and how it would ef-fectively knock off a poten-tially scoring section. On theother side, there are peoplein the Hindi belt still not sat-is!ed with the change theysee as cosmetic.

doing the rounds of the of!cesof the University regretted thathe was driven into such a situa-tion a"er spending 40 years ofhis precious life serving thecause of higher education andthe students. He said he was ap-palled at the indifferent attitudeof the University and the Gov-ernment to resolve !nancial is-sues. The meagre allocationre#ects the lack of focus on de-veloping human resources, headded. Another non-teachingstaff member said that the Gov-ernment was concerned moreabout the welfare measuresaimed at garnering votes andnot University staff whichfetches it not more than a few

thousand votes. Prof. Kodan-daram, Convenor, Political JointAction Committee also spoke.

Discontent is brewing among asection of the students over theinordinate delay in notifyingjobs by the newly-elected TRSgovernment.

The ‘Chalo Assembly’ pro-gramme on 17 Novemberunder the auspices of Joint Ac-tion Committee of Jobless, isan indication of the pent-upamong the students, who gavemuscle to the T agitation. Thestatements from the TRS Gov-ernment are in fact adding fuelto the anger of the studentswho are now demanding thatthe Government deliver on itspromises.

The Government and the stu-dents were on a collision courseimmediately a"er the govern-ment took over and announcedthe regularisation of all con-tractual jobs. Sinking all differ-ences, several student groupsunitedly organised a sit-in agi-tation for several days and fol-lowed it up with an inde!nitefast.

The students were hopingthat the Government wouldissue noti!cations but nothinghas come so far. The Govern-ment on the other hand seemsto be beset with its own prob-lems where staff distribution is-sues are yet to be resolved. Inthe absence of a clear picture,students are spending theirtime preparing for Central Gov-ernment exams.

Also, there is confusion

among them over the observa-tions of senior ministers thatthe pattern for Group II serv-ices and other exams is likely tobe overhauled. Nevertheless,they are preparing for theabove exams.

Students, especially thosewho have passed out, are agi-tated that they are losing timeand age is fast catching up withthem and they may not be eligi-ble for jobs even if the noti!ca-tions are issued.

Though a few enterpresingones are looking at the privatesector as an option, a majorityare !xed about getting into gov-ernment jobs as they offer se-curity and they can work intheir respective districts, farfrom the urban pressures.

Certain political parties, inorder to get back at the govern-ment have been describing thepromises of the Governmenton employment generation as“ empty rhetoric lacking in sub-stance.” These remarks are alsoadding to the restlessnessamong the students.

The lush green lawns and theimposing British architec-ture of the University Collegefor Women, Kothi, playedhost to its 10th Annual MiniConvocation on August 7, asthe NCC band and the pleas-ant evening made for a per-fect ambience.

A total of 620 students re-ceived their degrees from theguests of honour --- K.V. Ra-mana Chary, advisor to theGovernment of Telangana,and Hephsiba Rani Korlap-ati, an IAS of!cer and analumna of the College. Fourstudents were awarded goldmedals.

Addressing the students,Mr. Chary recalled his longassociation with Osmania

University, !rst as a studentand later as a scholar. He de-scribed how he could !nallyful!l his dream of complet-ing his PhD a"er his retire-ment in 2009.

Mr. Chary urged the stu-dents to get inspired by Ms.Hephsiba, an alumna of thecollege who is currentlyposted as an Assistant Com-missioner at Basavakalyan inBidar district of Karnataka.“Every student should takeher as an inspiration andshould dream of comingback to the college proudlyas an IAS of!cer,” he added.

Making his point aboutlife, he recited an Urdu cou-plet:Zindagi sab kuchsikhati, Kabhi hasathi, kabhirulathi. Jo har pal hasta, uskeSamne sar jhukathi.

Can Tulsi removefluoride from water?It depends.

Tulsi (holybasil) is

known for itsmedicinal prop-erties. It con-tains a numberof bene!cialcompoundssuch as phyto-chemicals,which possessanti-bacterial,anti-viral, anti-oxidative andadaptogenic properties. Earlier stud-ies have suggested that Tulsi is effec-tive in removing 95 per cent #uoridefrom groundwater within 20 min-utes.

To test this claim, researchersfrom the Department of AppliedGeochemistry, Osmania University,and Department of Chemistry, MVSREngineering College, collectedgroundwater samples with moderateto high concentration of #uoridefrom six locations in Nalgonda,Warangal and Karimnagar districts.The #uoride concentration wasmeasured four times at intervals ofone hour, a"er keeping the watersamples in contact with Tulsi paste,leaves and liquid.

The researchers report differentresults for different samples. In the

!rst sample from Nalgonda, therewas no change in #uoride concentra-tion for the !rst three hours while itfell by 1 mg/l in the fourth hour; inthe second sample, there was nochange a"er four hours. In the twosamples from Warangal, the #uoridelevel fell by 1-2mg/l in the !rst hourand returned to original levels a"erfour hours. In Karimnagar samples,the #uoride concentration fell by 1-2mg/l in the !rst hour and remainedthere even a"er four hours

Saroornagar laketurning acidic

Climate change and other changesin the physico-chemical environ-

ment around a water body have a di-rect effect on the quality of waterand the life forms it supports. The

Saroornagar lake in Hyderabad wascreated for agricultural and drinkingpurposes in 1626. However, in thelast 60 years, untreated domesticsewage, solid waste and industrial ef-#uents entered its catchment areaand have become a threat to its veryexistence.

Mary Esther Cynthia Johnson andOliva Kezia Ruth from the Depart-ment of Botany at the Osmania Uni-versity College for Women haveundertaken a study to measure theextent of dissolved chemicals in itswaters. They collected water sam-ples from the lake once in a monthduring September 2011 -- August2012 and tested it for the presence ofdissolved oxygen, alkalinity, bicar-bonates, chlorides, nitrites, phos-phates and oxidisable organicmatter.

The study found that pH (a meas-ure of hydrogen ion concentration inwater, indicating whether it is acidicor alkaline) was at an average of 8.4.Comparing it to the pH value of 9.0in 1980, the authors conclude thatthe water is turning acidic. They also!nd a “drastic decline” in dissolvedoxygen between 1980 (6.51 mg/l) and2012 (1.7 mg/l). The researchers re-port that bicarbonates, chlorides,and oxidisable organic matter did

not #uctuate much during the same32-year period. However, nitrites andphosphates have increased alarm-ingly by 20,000 times and 4,500 timesrespectively. If this trend continues,the study says, the lake would be-come more eutrophic and die even-tually.

While the erstwhile HyderabadUrban Development Authority hadtaken up restoration measures, the!ltration unit became dysfunctionalwithin a few years.

Documentingmedicinal plants

It is observed by ethno-botaniststhat animals heal themselves by

eating particular plants when theyare ailing. This is true even with do-mesticated animals. The animals se-lect the required plants accurately ifthey are available in the vicinity, anddo not confuse them with otherspecies that look very similar. Thisknowledge is inborn in animals asan instinct. It is assumed that early

humans also had such knowledge.To what extent is this knowledge stillpresent?

N. Rama Krishna from SAP Col-lege Vikarabad along with researchscholars Ch. Saidulu and S.Kistamma from Department ofBotany, Osmania University, haveundertaken a seven-year project todocument various plants and theiruses. The study recorded the tradi-tional medicine practices amongtribal communities like Kolams,Naikpods, Pardhans, Gonds, Thotis,Chenchus and Mathuras from Adil-abad district.

Here some of the plants whoseleaves and fruits are used to treat dif-ferent diseases:

The plant bearing the botanicalname, Aegle marmelos (Linn.) Cor-rea (Rutaceae) and the vernacularname of Bilva, Patri helps cure ul-cers, maggot infested sores andopacity of cornea.

Likewise, Andrographis paniculata(Burm. f.) Nees (Acanthaceae), alsoknown as, Nelavemu vernacularly isknown to cure Jaundice.

Ageratum conyzoides Linn. (Aster-aceae), aka Gana gaaju, Cleome gy-nandra Linn. (Cleomaceae) known asVaminta, Gymnema sylvestre (Retz.)R. Br. ex Schult. (Asclepiadaceae)known as Poda Patri, Caesalpiniabonduc (Linn.) Roxb.

Societies in South Asia, LatinAmerica and the Middle Eastare seeing new ways in whichpower is negotiated betweenpublic and private interests.

These new power systemsin post-traditional societiesare described as neo-patri-monialism, said Prof. DanielBach, faculty member, Cen-tre Emile Durkheim, Sci-ences Po Bordeaux, France.

Addressing a seminar on'Neo-patrimonialism: State-Business Nexus' organised byIndian Council of Social Sci-ence Research at Osmania

University, Prof. Bach said neo-patrimonialismwas like state capture and oligarchy.

He said these were different forms of the samebasic phenomenon of the way public and and pri-vate interests interact within a public sphere. Ac-cording to Prof. Bach, diversi!cation of thestate-business nexus is being observed in emerg-ing economies, especially in Africa.

Concurring with Prof. Bach, Prof. Kodanda Ramsaid that patrimonialism is a political system ofusing the state and its resources for one's own pur-poses. “Neo Patrimonilism exists in the form of in-dividuals using the state for their respectivebene!ts,” he noted.

He said Africa has more traces of neo-patrimo-nialism than in any other part of the world, whilein Latin America and Middle Asia, there is the cor-porates' self-interest that prevails and dominatesthe state of affairs. He said that is what one termsas ‘patrimonialisation of the state.’

Moving on to the origins of this political frame-work, Prof. Krishna Reddy, director, ICSSR, saidthat when we are living in a legal-rational politicalsystem, it is important to understand how poweris getting personalised.

“Origins of this idea of the social structure aretied to the roots of caste,” he stated, adding thatpatrimonialism of the peasantry state doesn't in-voke anxieties but that of the legal rational systemdoes.

Asked about crony capitalism, Prof. Bach toldOsmania Courier: “The main idea is capitalism it-self and not really cronyism.” He added that theidea emerged a"er 2005 and that he had neverheard the term being used before.

Questioning the use of the phrase ‘emergingeconomies’, Prof. Bach said, “Emergence is not aconcept. It is a term that is used because we, at themoment, have the incapacity to conceptualisewhat's going on.”

CAMPUS TALK

It was a walk down memory lane onOctober 21 at the New Seminar Hall inArts College, as faculty members andhistory buffs recounted tales of theirassociation with noted historian ofmodern India, Prof. Bipan Chandra.

Stanford-educated Prof. Chandraworked in Jawaharlal Nehru Univer-sity almost since its formation in the1970s, and passed away on August 30,2014 at the age of 86.

Speaking at the workshop on 'Re-membering Prof. Bipan Chandra', or-ganized by the Department ofHistory, Prof. G. Satyanarayana said,“Bipan hailed from a rural back-ground and went on to become a leg-endary professor. In addition to beinga great scholar, he was humane andaffectionate and wrote in a simplestyle.”

Prof. Shanta Sinha recalled hiswords, "If you want to change thecountry, Marx alone won't help." Shesaid that Prof. Chandra showed thatthe Indian national movement was arationalist movement.

Objective analysis of history washis contribution that made him pop-ular, according to Prof. K. Srinivasan.He formed the grand monarchy of In-dian history.Most of the speakers de-scribed Prof. Chandra as a man “fullof energy” and underscored his “!nescholarly work.”

Among Prof. Chandra’s books areHistory of Modern India (2009), IndiaSince Independence (2008), Essays onColonialism (1999), Communalism inModern India (1984), Freedom Strug-gle (1972), The Rise and Growth ofEconomic Nationalism in India(1966), among others.

If this is the way people choose toacknowledge beauty, I struggle to won-der if our generation has forgottenwords like ‘pretty’, ‘beautiful’ and ‘ele-gant’. This tendency to objectifywomen sexually is unbridled in thisso-called modern era. This culture hasgained momentum because of the ac-ceptance sexual explicitness gets in ad-vertising, !lms, magazines, musicalbums, and news --- which arebroadly categorised as ‘media’.

Some men also may view it as aform of female empowerment. Theymay argue, pointlessly, that there weretimes when women never saw thelight of day and were only meant forkitchens and not Cabinets. So what’sthe harm in women being ‘bold’?

Well, of course we !nd that the verysame ‘wise’ men who would not mindshelling out lakhs of rupees for theirdaughter’s marriage but are reluctantwhen it comes to her higher educa-tion. They are those ‘wise’ men whosupposedly wouldn’t mind the entirefeminine gender going ‘bold’ butwould resort to moral policing if itwere their daughters.

While one element of the societyblames another for the increasingatrocities against women, media can-

not pass the buck, for it contributes toa lion’s share of the patriarchal mind-set that views women merely as man-nequins on display.

It’s quite well-known that mediasprinkles some extra 'glamour' to gainTRP that eventually boosts its ad rev-enues. But I’m just too bothered not toquestion why media persons, who ha-rangue politicians for their sexist com-ments, themselves do not upholdethics and morality? Why can't thesame standard of responsibility be ex-pected of them?

Moving onto Bollywood, another bigin#uencing side of the mainstreammedia, which is notorious for regu-larly portraying protagonists morelike molesters rather than heroes.

The song ‘Jumme ki raat’ in themovie Kick, Salman Khan holds theskirt of the heroine with his teeth,amid a group of people dancing. Suchthings seem to be okay because theone who plays it is the ‘hero’, irrespec-tive of the zero that he is in reality.Munni and Sheela are more famousthan Medha Patkar or Irom Sharmila.Bollywood, as a medium, is de!nitelya part of the compartment of culpritsthat is responsible for the regressivestate of affairs today.

Although Mr. Yo! Yo! Honey Singhhas honey in his name, he spillsvenom through his lyrics that straightaway percolates into the roots of pop-ular culture. And, we morons take ut-most joy in humming the his lines:“Blue eyes, hypnotise teri, kardi amennu,

I swear! Chhoti dress mein bomb

lagdi mennu,Glossy lips, uff yeah tricks,Baby lagdi e killer,Oh yeah oh yeahKatal kare tera bomb !gure.”

The advertising industry is yet an-other sly entity that very well knowsthe tricks of the trade. As I write this, Irecall one of the many ads that takespride in telling men that if they own aparticular bike and they see hot girlscome their way.

The print media also has its ownshare in playing a spoiler, for we alsosee pictures of women on magazinecovers without their identity revealed,

thereby making it easier to see heronly as a pound of #esh by completelywiping out her individuality that iscommunicated through her facial fea-tures, particularly her eyes.

We also have lately seen how the yel-low media fed upon actresses ShwetaBasu Prasad and Deepika Padukone.Why was the media in such merry toannounce that ‘Shweta charged herclients Rs. 1 lakh’ but failed to throwlight on the other side of the coin andto reveal who on earth those clientswere? And why did the media sensa-tionalise a woman celebrity for theircheap bene!ts by going about tweet-ing, 'OMG! Deepika's cleavage show?"

If a woman is clad in short skirts,she's asking for it; if she'd pass out at aparty, she's asking for it; if she's nothyper-vigilant of what's happeningaround her, she's asking for it; even ifshe's hyper-vigilant of what's happeningaround her, still she is asking for it. Thisis what the media-fed rape culturelooks like. This is what misogyny lookslike. And, this is what happens whenpeople who cease to get out of their pa-triarchal, misogynistic wells say thatwomen need to be 'empowered'. Untiland unless ‘What’ is replaced with‘Why’, news-values will remain plainnews without values and journalism re-mains generalism.

Look at yourselves, media. You’re no good.

The word ‘rape’, meaning a horrificact of sexually forcing oneself ontoanother, is conveniently changinginto a causally used metaphor tosound ‘cool’. ‘The team completelyraped their opponents in the cricketmatch’; ‘Why are you raping the foodlike that?’ are some of the many con-texts where I’ve come across theword ‘rape’ being very wrongly used.

It appears that those who use thisslang form of ‘rape’ imagine it to be acreative rhetorical expression toconvey the force and roughness of

the work done. But by thisunintentional misuse of the term,we’re either glorifying the awfulcrime (associating the act of rape towinning or experiencing triumph) ortrivialising and reducing the gravityof the crime, especially, the victim’spain and su"ering.

In a male-dominant country likeIndia, violence and crimes againstwomen are taken with a laidbackattitude. The loose ideologicalframework of our society blames thevictim for being the victim and notthe culprit for committing the crime.Even today, it is easy to question the

daughters than to correct the sons. Inthis scenario, this metaphoricalusage further pushes our society intothe misogynistic waters and to take acrime like rape for granted.

With sexual assaults on the rise,couldn’t we just be sensitive to thereal context of a serious word like‘rape’? Why be so thoughtless as toequate it with losing an election or asports match or even failing a test? Arape is a heinous crime. A rapist is acriminal. Using the ‘rape’ slang addsno glamour to one’s language but isshameful and disgusting.

Stop using ‘rape’ in slang

Coming from Sulaymany city in the Kurdishregion of Iraq, it has been my dream to

study abroad. So, when I graduated from theUniversity of Sulaymany, I wanted to see an-other country and chose India.

I love this country. What attracted me themost is its greenery. On the way from the air-port, on campus, and almost everywhere, thereare big trees. When I was a child, I lived in avillage and we had agriculture and cultivation.It brings back memories of trees and green!elds. It also shows that people in Hyderabadare gentle and broadminded, because they lovetrees and #owers so much. I haven’t seen any-one killing animals or birds since coming here.

There are different religions, states andideas in India and they live together and re-spect each other. I appreciate this so much. Weare living in the West Asia, where there aremany con#icts, battles, turmoil, killing and de-struction. Different nations and religions areunable to live together and they reject others.But I saw different communities and differentreligions living together in India.

In Osmania University, one of the oldest In-

dian universities, there are many foreign stu-dents. There are some differences between theuniversity system in my native country andIndia. In my country, there are no opportuni-ties for everyone to study Master’s. Only thosein government services can study Master’s, butin India, there is opportunity for all. Also, notonly Indian, but foreign students can alsostudy in India.

In India, people like to read newspaper a lot.It’s not only intellectual, but normal people likestudents, workers, and drivers are seen readingnewspaper. In my country, newspaper readingtrend is going down so much. They are nowusing Internet and websites, instead of news-paper. Many newspapers and magazines haveclosed, because people are not buying andreading them.

People in my country like to see Indian!lms, songs, and TV series so much. Some In-dian artists, actress and actors are very fa-mous, like: Daramandar [Dharmendra],Amitabh Bachan, Shah Rukh Khan, Mad-hubala, and the television series Lakshmi Bai isalso very popular. Indian drama is telecast onsome Kurdish TV channels and people like tosee them, because Indian culture is close to

their own cultures andthey love them.

I grew up as a poorchild, I saw many dif!-culties in life, so Iwanted to choose apoor county. India is apoor country, but agreat country. I feelthat I can get manygreat lessons during mystay in India, becauseIndia has a deep his-tory and had great per-sons. There were somepersons and leaders inIndia who could shakethe world in a gentleand non-violent way.There are some greatlessons for all of hu-manity, not only forIndia.

COMMENT

Palaparthi Srividya

Sure, the Kashmir violenceis a serious and sensitive

topic that shouldn’t be jokedabout, but Bilawal Bhutto’sinfamous “Laavange” speechdid stir up an interesting tiffbetween the two countries.

Not just on the politicaland defence front but thepassive social head-butting isde!nitely innovative, intrigu-ing and undeniably enter-taining.

Social media went com-pletely gaga a"er the muchhyped speech both in Indiaand Pak. While #Kash-mirIsPakistan, #FreeKash-mirFromIndia, among otherchoice hashtags were trend-ing in Pakistan, India’s twit-terati fought back with theirvery own #YoBilawalSoDumband #BuzdilPakistan.

Pakistan’s social mediamaintained a serious and po-litical viewpoint in theirhashtags while Indians beingIndian came up with hilarity

even in one of the most seri-ous international politicalscenarios of the decade. So-cial media wars kept thrivingin their place but the Internetsoon #ooded with rather of-fensive and yet solemnly hi-larious memes and jokes onthis issue; speci!cally onBhutto’s speech and person.

Before anyone knew it thenews of PPP of!cial websitebeing defaced by a group ofIndian hackers hit the news.With the Indian #ag plasteredacross the home page of thewebsite, the hackers made ita point to poke the PakistaniParty really hard with jokeson their attempt to take overKashmir. Pakistan retaliatedby hacking a bunch of Indianwebsites. Although no seri-ous harm is done on eitherside, the competition to oneup the other is amusing.

Stand-up comedians inIndia suddenly have a brandnew topic to joke about. In-dian corruption, snobby!lms, inherent misogyny,

and traf!c hate have re-mained the crowd favouritefor years in stand-up comedy.However, Pakistan’s attempton taking Kashmir seems tohave brought in a barrage ofprospects in comedy.

One of the interesting com-ments by a travelling stand-up comedy group goes all in,challenging Pak. to takeKashmir by all means; onlyby paying for it in real estatevalue!

All jokes apart, India-Kash-mir-Pakistan has been anthorny issue in terms of In-dian defence and politics. Alittle light at the end of thetunnel would be a respite toboth countries indeed.

Yes, religion, caste, states,and languages, even festivalspull us Indians apart on anormal day but irrespectiveof whether it has an impacton us we will always come to-gether to hate on Pakistan.Well, at least something iskeeping us united.

ANCHOR 5Osmania CourierDecember 7, 2014

As the !rst journalism de-partment in the country, setup way back in 1954, theDepartment of Communi-cation and Journalism, Os-

mania University, !nds itself at 60 thisyear. The Department today is speciallyrecognised for the quality education itimparts, equipped with the state-of-the-art infrastructure.

Back in those days, Journalism –considered a mission during the free-dom movement – was just aboutemerging as a profession and inde-pendent India felt the need for trainedyoung men and women in the cra".Around the same time, Osmania Uni-versity too had embarked on a majorexpansion, replacing Urdu with Eng-lish as a medium of instruction and of-fering courses in ‘new’ subjects likeStatistics, Electronics & Communica-tion Engineering, French and Germanlanguages and of course, Journalism.

The University got in touch with var-ious American Universities and acade-micians for help in setting up aseparate department for Journalism.DeForest O’Dell, PhD from ColumbiaUniversity, a veteran newsman andjournalism educator from the US, wasentrusted with the task.

Dr. O’Dell came to India in 1954 asthe founder and head of Osmania Uni-versity’s Journalism department. Hestarted with the introduction ofdiploma and certi!cate courses mainlyto bene!t reporters and sub-editorswho were already working in severalvernacular newspapers in Hyderabad.

From the very !rst year of its com-mencement, the department ran anewspaper, The Osmania Courier. The!rst issue was edited by KrishnaMurthy, a student of the !rst batch(1954-55). The Courier served as anewspaper for the campus community.

The Journalism department was theenvy of outsiders, as it boasted of a richcollection of foreign newspapers likeThe Daily Mirror, The Daily Telegraph,The Guardian, and thousands of bookspresented by the World Literacy Inc.Apart from that, it also had very goodequipment of portable typewriters,16mm !lm projector for screening!lms, a collection of educational !lmson journalism and still cameras.

Dr. O’Dell continued as head of thedepartment until 1956 to ensure thatthe department stood on a strong foun-dation and later returned to Butler Uni-versity. The Department only grew onits strengths.

* * *For an entire generation of students,

the Department is synonymous withProf. Syed Bashiruddin, who served asa head for about 25 years. Apart frombeing an extraordinary teacher, he isalso remembered for bringing an in-formal ambience to the classroom.

Prof. Bashir believed in cordial rela-tions between teachers and students.He always preferred that everybody ad-dress him by his !rst name, cuttingdown on the honori!cs. Smoking ciga-rettes and sipping tea in the class in hispresence was not unusual. He was astickler for accuracy of informationand precision in use of English lan-guage. He encouraged a spirit of in-quiry and argumentation in thedepartment. This informal atmos-phere could be one of the reasons whystudents got better and bolder, whichshowed when they stepped out into thereal world of journalism.

Prof. Bashir is also remembered forhaving introduced M.C.J. and M.Phil.programmes, and for his efforts instrengthening Osmania Courier. Dur-ing his tenure, the Department beganto receive funding from the UnviersityGrants Commission under the SpecialAssistance Programme. With his good-

will and popularity all over the country,he mentored and shaped many otherdepartments in the country.

Through the years of his associationwith the Department, Prof. Bashirwent on several prestigious assign-ments. He became the Vice Chancellorof Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University,Director of the Research Wing of theFilm and Television Institute of India,Pune, and later served as India’s Am-bassador to Qatar. It would not be anexaggeration to say that he was broughtgreat honour to the Department and tothe University.

* * *Another prominent name that many

alumni recall is that of Prof. Abdur Ra-heem, who served as the head and co-ordinator of the Special AssistanceProgramme for quite some time. Hewas a great organizer and during histenure he organised international con-ferences, national seminars, work-shops and educational tours. For him,Journalism stood apart from othercourses. Prof. Raheem was known tobe a counterpart of Prof. Basheer.While Prof. Basheer was a meticulousplanner, Prof. Raheem was known forhis non-conformist and unconven-tional attitude. He was a person whocould stage a show, crossing all theodds, at short notice.

For instance, at an event organisedby the Department, two veteran jour-nalists, A.B.K. Prasad and PotturiVenkateshwar Rao (each of whom wasa stalwart in his own right, which cre-ated problems of protocol for the or-ganizers) were invited to an orientationprogramme in the Department - the as-sumption being that at least one of thetwo would turn up. The guests did nothave a clue about having to share thedais with each other. That being thescenario, none could quite predict whowould arrive !rst.

Expecting Mr. Prasad to arrive !rst,a welcome board was put up with hisname at the entrance of the College ofArts and Social Sciences. To every-body’s disbelief, Mr. Rao arrived !rst,leaving many an eyebrow raised exceptthat of Prof Raheem’s, who believedthat if Plan ‘A’ was not up to snuff, onestill has 25 other letters in the alphabet!

Prof Raheem, a native of the fastlane, simply got the board #ipped overand got another welcome messagewritten that now had the right name.Such was his quick and inventive ap-proach in dealing with the unexpected.

During Prof. Raheem’s tenure, edu-cational tours were still a part of thecurriculum. One of the remarkablememories was when students of BCJhad a tete-a-tete with the then PrimeMinister, Indira Gandhi, during theEmergency. In the course of her inter-action with the students, Mrs. Gandhi

announced her decision to li" restric-tions on the press. Leading nationaldailies featured the event prominentlyusing the visit of the BCJ students ofOsmania University as the news peg.

Other than teaching, Prof. Raheemwas also known for his networking andexcellent contacts with many veteranpoliticians as well as practicing jour-nalists of his time.

* * *Another signi!cant name that

strikes a chord is Dr. D.R. Mohan Raj.He was a memorable teacher knownfor his extraordinary communicationskills. Having graduated with a doc-toral degree from the US in Creativewriting and English Literature, hisforte was feature writing. He taughtstudents to excel in writing and kepttheir interest high in the art of journal-ism. Also an occasional Quiz Master,Dr. Mohan Raj believed in and encour-aged thinking out of the box. His lec-tures were never con!ned to the fourwalls and that is one of the main rea-sons why students of his could envis-age a world beyond books.

Once, as he entered the classroomand immediately shut all the doors toensure that nobody could sneak out. Toeverybody’s bewilderment, it was as-signment time! He would set a scenariofor the students where they’d have toboard a bus from the Arts College tothe College of Law. He would continue:“Somebody in the bus yells to stop!Now, !nish the story. All you have is 50minutes from now.” While some wouldhave a hiccup in their throats, therewere others who would take the chal-lenge head on.

Dr. Mohan Raj also possessed ahawk’s eye while checking assign-ments. He made sure that he readevery word aloud in the class. This wasthought of as classroom humiliation(though not intended) for some men atthe expense of giggles from the girls.He was a master at spotting chinks inpeople’s armour.

Not just this, he was no less than aCBI inspector when it came to snif!ngout plagiarism. He could tell which au-thor’s in#uence clouded which stu-dent’s writing. Also, he was so eruditethat he could list out the novels a stu-dent had read just by seeing his/herchoice of words.

Despite his !ne talent, he had not aniota of arrogance. He had once writtena headline and asked for advice. Feed-back from students was, “No, Mohan.It’s lousy”. He just smiled and kept thatzeal to learn alive.

* * *As head of the Department, Dr Usha

Vyasulu Reddi brought a new energy tothe teaching learning environment.Shegave a strong impetus to communi-cation and research aspects of the cur-

riculum. Usha’s energy as a teacherand sense of humour provided a sup-portive environment for the students,even as she insisted on academic disci-pline. Usha went on to become the Di-rector of Audio Visual Research Centreof Osmania University, Director ofCommonwealth Education Media Cen-tre for Asia (CEMCA) at New Delhi andDirector of the Centre for Human De-velopment at the Administrative StaffCollege of India, Hyderabad. She is amuch sought a"er consultant in theOpen and Distance Learning sector.

* * *Prof P L Vishweshwar Rao headed

the Department and later became thePrincipal of Arts College. Many associ-ates of his would agree that he is an ac-ademician who keeps a wide range ofinterests. He is known to espousemany social causes and is a muchsought a"er speaker. He has a trade-mark style of articulation, which hasinspired young students from degreecolleges to !nd what the journalism de-partment is all about and how they canbe a part of it! Prof Nageshwar is onesuch student, by his own admission.Prof Rao completely changed the dy-namics of the student teacher interac-tion and the interaction betweencolleagues in the department by de-mocratising and encouraging argu-mentation. However noisy, he believedin negotiation that le" everyone happyat the end. During his tenure, the De-partment successfully completed ad-vanced phases of SAP.

* * * Dr. Kavita Karan, who also headed

the Department, is remembered as anef!cient administrator and to haveplayed a substantial role in the upkeepof the department. Although she was anot a native Telugu speaker, the local#avour of her Telugu is still recalled.

There was one instance that her col-leagues will never forget. One day astudent threatened the professors inthe Department for having failed himin the !nal exam while others passed.In a !t of rage, he tore up his marksmemo. Almost all the teachers tried topacify him but in vain. Then, Dr. Kavitato took over and escorted him to herroom. Soon, all the redness of rage hadvanished and he wore a dazed look.

Intrigued by the change in the stu-dent, when colleagues asked her aboutwhat actually happened, she said thatshe just asked him to !nd out what’sgood for himself before he compareswith someone else. All she had donewas to pose a question in colloquial Tel-ugu, “would he blindly go jump in awell because someone else did?”Dumbstruck, the guy had come out be-mused.

* * *Prof. B. Nageshwar Rao, who had

been a journalist since his teens andwent on to be Deputy Editor of DeccanChronicle, was tagged ‘most favourite’by his students. He had the distinctionof interviewing Gandhi on the moveand other Chief Ministers of that time.What and how he taught was dubbed,‘What they don’t teach at Harvard’.Being a vegetarian, he consumed noth-ing but bland food, rounded off with acigarette or two. Every puff of smokethat came out was followed by great in-sights. He was a man who constantlyfought for justice.

In one instance, the !nal exams ofBCJ were advanced from April thirdweek to the last week of March, and anatmosphere of stress spread all over, ashardly 10-15 per cent of the syllabuswas covered. It was a time when stu-dents carried good amounts of self-re-spect, just the way today’s youth carrymobile phones. They didn’t want dealsbehind the scenes resulting in goodgrades on paper. Instead, they dra"eda news report protesting the change forDeccan Chronicle. As the issue seemedgenuine enough, it found space in Dec-can Chronicle. Prof. Rao never bent be-fore any authority, even though he wasthe PRO of the University and rubbedshoulders with the Vice Chancellor andothers. With all the spotlight on him,Prof. Rao still chose not to side with theauthorities. He was so democratic, eth-ical and honest. With all that media at-tention, necessary action was takennot to reschedule the exams but to givestudents enough time for preparation.

* * *Among the other pillars of the edi-

!ce were Prof. N.V.K Murthy, Directorof the Film Wing, FTII; Prof. SrinivasMelkote; Prof. Pradeep Krishnaatray;Prof. P.N. Malhan; Dr. Nargis Abra-ham, and others who worked sel#esslyfor the department helping it to standtall and to earn its place in the country.

A second generation of leadershiptook over the reins of the Departmentaround 2000. Dr. K. Nageshwar’s pe-riod was marked by turbulence andthe untimely death of Yadagiri, a hard-working journalist and a Master’s stu-dent from Sarvail School in Nalgonda.

Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy inaugu-rated the Department’s golden jubileecelebrations in 2005. The same yearthe Department came under theASIHSS programme. The year also sawthe launch of doctoral programme andthe commissioning of the televisionstudio, under the headship of Dr. K.Stevenson.

The Department and was accordedthe Centre for Advanced Study in 2009.Dr. V. Shyam Sunder, Dr. PadmajaShaw guided the Department for thenext four years organising seminarsand workshops. Dr. Narender gave afaceli" to the interiors of the Depart-ment while Srinath Reddy continuedthe good work of his predecessor.

The early years of the 21st centuryalso saw a change in the social compo-sition of students and an increasingnumber of them veering towards tele-vision journalism, thanks to the ex-pansion in the number of regionalchannels. Prof. B.Balaswamy, the pres-ent Head took over when the Telan-gana agitation was at its peak and hasbeen organising several events.

From the past 60 years, thousands ofstudents have graduated from the De-partment. Some of the distinguishedproducts of the department are: S.Jaipal Reddy, former Union Minister; K.Keshav Rao, also former Union Minis-ter; Prof. Srinivas R Melkote, Dean,Ohio State University, USA; Prof. Anan-tha Babbili, formerly with A & M Uni-versity, Texas, USA. Virtually everynews organisation in the state hasalumni of the Department in senior ed-itorial positions.

It was physics professor RichardFeynman for Google's co-founder

Sergey Brin, and 1998 Asian Gamesgold medalist Dingko Singh for box-ing star Mary Kom. Almost every-body, at least once in their lifetime,feel the need to do something note-worthy, inspired by an idea, experi-ence, emotion or a personality.

And a person is more likely to bedriven by passion during ones mostenergetic times of life –youth. Let’ssee what today’s youth draw their in-spiration from.

G. Shirisha, a Journalism studentat OU, says her inspiration in lifecomes from love. According to her,love is a feeling that cannot be ex-pressed in words. "Love can be to-wards parents, friends, nature,books or anything in the world," shesays. She strongly feels that onecould do miracles in life for love, bylove, and of love.

Could Mother Nature inspire us?Yes, says Karwan Ibrahim, an Iraqi-Kurdish student in OU. As nostalgiastrikes him, he recalls his childhoodmemories amid green !elds in vil-lages.

"When I look at a tree or forest, itmakes me feel good and happy. Jun-gles with trees of great heights giveme a pleasant feeling and leaves meinspired," he says.

Sneha Verghese, a PhD aspirant,spells inspiration as M-o-t-h-e-r. Forher, her mom is her backbone whohelped her stay erect in life.

"My mom has been my strengthsince my childhood. She used topush me to do things, which I'dnever have done but for her. Iwanted to be like my mom in everyway. Talk like her, walk like her,dress like her and be like her.”

Looking outside the campus, Naga

Trinadh Burra, a graduate of Insti-tute of Rural Management, Anand,says he is inspired by VergheseKurien, the man behind the coopera-tive dairy movement that resulted inAmul. Trinadh worked on projectsthat include monitoring MNREGAwork, but turning into a whistleblower handicapped him of the re-quired support at work.

"Drawing inspiration from Vergh-ese Kurien, I quit my job, packed my

bags and set off to a village in Tuni tobecome a farmer," he says, addingthat he formed a small group thatsells the produce directly to big buy-ers, eliminating middlemen.

Vaishali Chellappa, an architec-ture student, says, “My inspiration topursue things in life comes from alot of people. But the one who has in-spired me the most is Ar. Nari (Nari-man) Gandhi.”

She says his architecture is a prod-

uct of hisprinciples in life. "His

simplicity, being close to natureand his belief in creating with his

own hands are re#ected in the build-ings that he built, which inspire methe most," she says.

It need not always be the case thata person has to be inspired by justone great soul. One may get theirdeeper motivational insights frommany.

Mallikarjuna Mullangi, a post-graduate from Indian Institute ofScience Education & Research(IISER), Pune, has a different under-

standing of the concept of in-spiration. According to him,every little emotion is an in-spiration.

“The purity of emotion in-spires me to move ahead inlife. People don't motivateme much because I haven'tmet any of the so-calledgreat people, at least notyet.” He says that meetingsomeone is of utmost im-portance to him beforehe could choose to fol-low their footsteps.

Sasi Kanth Tadimallafrom Orange City of

Nagpur and ---, an MCJ stu-dent from OU, both eat andbreathe football, and swearby the ‘messi’merisingpower of Messi!

“Lionel Andres Messi,the name is. He is my in-spiration. I chose to be-come a football playera"er seeing some of hisunique and MESSmerIs-ing skills and moves. Hebecame the ‘World’s BestFootballer of the Year’

for a whopping four timesand in a row. Great legends in the!eld couldn't beat this,” exclaimsSasi.

“Football is my religion and Messiis my god,” he says.

While there are many who aredriven by inspiration and ambition,there are always people who arguethat inspiration starts with 'I'. Never-theless, youth and inspiration areanalogous to a vehicle and fuel.Without that push a vehicle getsfrom the fuel running in it, it'd bestationary, losing its very purpose ofmotion. So, inspire and get inspired,folks. Cheers!

What inspires today’s youth?VOX POPULI

Do not judge a book by its cover, itis o"en said. And do not watch a

trailer before going to the movie, myfriends seem to add. I got a series ofannoyed comments from them forhaving watched the trailer of ‘MaryKom’. But my visit to the theatrecleared the haze and now, I extendmy kudos to the entire cast and crewof the movie unit.

‘Mary Kom’ is a biopic on the fa-mous Indian woman boxing cham-pion of the same name. OmungKumar, a debutant director, narrateshow the belligerent daughter of arice farmer rose to being a boxingchampion. Although there were com-ments that Priyanka Chopra, the pro-tagonist, looks no way close to Mary,she takes the challenge, head-on. Her

arms and shoulders were sculpted tolook lethal.

The !lm commences at a pointwhen pregnant Mary walks with herhusband during a curfew to fetch avehicle for a hospital. The directoradds variety by peeking in the #ash-back, but it wasn't a completelypraiseworthy narration, one couldsay.

Once the audience are back frommunching some chips and sipping abeverage, the story progresses to apoint where Mary is a marriedwoman and is blessed with twins.Apart from just revolving around theprotagonist, Omung and the writer,Saiwyn Quadras, attempt to highlighta lot more – women empowerment,the shoddy treatment of athletes bythe government bodies, the igno-rance many Indians have for the peo-ple of the northeast, the dif!cultywomen face in balancing personaland professional lives, the way herhusband Onler pushes Mary to get

back to boxing while he acts bothmom and dad for their little ones ---all these aspects give the !lm a cutfrom the so-called time-tested formu-lae of !lm-making.

The director has used all his not-so-famous faces who surroundPriyanka to give the movie a convinc-ing texture. The performances ofRobin Das, who plays Mary's father,and of the coach Sunil Thapa holdwaters in the retention basin.

Though the !lm wasn't shot in Ma-nipur, Omung is quite good at creat-ing a believable world. He proved hispoint that a !lm can survive the hightides of the boring rom-com andother drooling masala. One of thebest sports-cum-action directors,Rob Millers' touch to the !lm bridgedthe reel-real gap in bringing the truespirit of the sport. This was yet an-other reason why the !lm deliveredquality and made its audience stickto the seat till the very end. Interest-ing camera angles and creative edit-ing are a credit to the movie.

Omung's debut is de!nitely worthit. He has successfully captured theessence of Mary Kom’s life, one mustsay. One of my favourite scenes iswhen the national anthem plays. Ihave never heard it in such a way, Iliterally had goose bumps.

The only thing that pinches is thatthe #ick has been released every-where, except for Mary's home stateof Manipur. It's because of a ban im-posed by the Revolutionary People'sFront on Hindi !lms in the north-eastern states since 2000. It is a bitdisheartening that people therecouldn't watch the movie that show-cases a daughter of the soil.

MOVIE REVIEW

I shun the daylight,But quite mighty in the night.Neither I'm a bird and never an insect,Nor am I a blood-thirst suspect!

I am of course a mammal,Just like you and the hardy camel.Steered by my inbuilt sonar,Yet believed to be blind?Huh! Hardly an honour!

Bats are that set of misinter-preted, exploited yet intelli-

gent creatures that themankind has taken for granted.These tiny, nocturnal beingscomprise 25 per cent of the entiremammal population. A"er the ro-dent species, they are also the secondlargest existing species of mammals, com-prising 20 per cent of all classi!ed mam-mals worldwide.

The bat population is broadly cate-gorised into Frugivorous and Insectivo-rous. The minority frugivourous, orfruit-eating, bats survive on fruits and are

farmers' friends. They eat the overripefruits thereby acting as seed dispensers orpollinators and help in the expansion offorests.

About 70 per cent of the bat species fallunder the insectivorous or the insect-eat-ing category. They feed on moths andother insects that are detrimental to the

crop. Bat guano is also used a fertiliser. Moreover, bats are nature's mos-quito mats. When a bat is le" in aroom for an hour, it can eat up to300 mosquitoes. So that's wherethese tiny sel#ess creaturescould successfully replace the

so-called 'mosquito bats' that weproudly use at our homes. So, the next time we consider a bat

as a bad omen or call it a bird or an insector also a vampire just because one maypresume that it's blood-thirsty, remember,it's not a devil, it's a practice.
