Shanthi Prakashana Silver Jubili Campaign--Symposium

Symposium

Religion should not be hidden

Udupi, Dec 1, 2013: “if you don’t understand religions, then to live in peace and harmony would be difficult. When travelling in the train called life, as soon as we hear the word “GOD”, we explode in anger and aggression. Wherever we live, we should live like humans. To doubt, to blame and to insult religions is wrong” said the kannada’s famous author Na D’Souza on the occasion of golden jubilee celebration of SHANTI PRAKASHANA Publication under the campaign called “Literature for peace” at Townhall,Udupi.

Another Guest who spoke on this occasion was Mr. Varadesh Hiregange, Director, Manipal Institute of Communication, Manipal.

“Through the medium of literature, a society can be transformed was shown by prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in such an uncivilized place of arab. Protection of Women, who was buried alive during those times was ordered in qur’an and hence in such a way women gained respect in the society. This is the best example to prove that better literature can bring about great change in the society” spoke A.K Kukkila ,Editor,Sanmarga weekly Who presided on the occasion.

Further he added currently priority to security of woman rather than bomb blasts should be the concern. The fear in women while walking in the street, the problems in a family due to an alcoholic man should be the point of discussion.
