“All ST Hostels and Raichur University to Be Named After Valmiki”<\/p>\n

Bengaluru:\u2028Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced that all ST (Scheduled Tribe) hostels and Raichur University will be named after Maharshi Valmiki.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He made this important declaration while inaugurating the Valmiki Jayanti program, organized by the Department of Backward Classes Welfare at Banquet Hall. On this occasion, five eminent personalities were also honored with the Valmiki Award.\"\"<\/p>\n

In his speech, Siddaramaiah emphasized how historically marginalized communities like the Kuruba and Besta castes made significant contributions to literature and philosophy.\u201cKalidasa, the renowned playwright of Shakuntala, belonged to the Kuruba community. Vyasa, the author of the Mahabharata, came from the Besta community. Maharshi Valmiki, who wrote the Ramayana, was from a similar background. People invented stories about how a bandit like Valmiki couldn\u2019t possibly write the Ramayana, just because these communities were barred from education and learning Sanskrit,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He highlighted that despite such societal barriers, individuals from these communities studied Sanskrit and created masterpieces like the Ramayana, which is a source of pride and inspiration for everyone. \u201cWhen given access to education, they excelled and became inspirations to the world. Valmiki promoted equality and equal opportunities for all. The concept of Ram Rajya in the Ramayana represents a society where fairness and equal opportunities prevail,\u201d Siddaramaiah said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The CM reminded the audience that Maharshi Valmiki had provided shelter and education to Lava and Kusha, the sons of Lord Rama, proving that he stood for universal values.<\/p>\n

Siddaramaiah also took the opportunity to criticize the BJP, saying that despite being in power at the center and in several states, the BJP has not implemented the SCSP (Scheduled Castes Sub Plan) and TSP (Tribal Sub Plan) policies anywhere. \u201cOur government was the first to reserve budget funds proportionate to the SC\/ST population through these schemes. I initiated the concept of hostels for marginalized communities, and I will ensure there is one in every hobli,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n

He called out the BJP for opposing welfare schemes and accused the party of merely paying lip service to the idea of equality. \u201cTrue equality can\u2019t come without addressing economic and social disparities, as Dr. B.R. Ambedkar warned,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Siddaramaiah urged marginalized communities to stand united and develop the courage to speak the truth. \u201cDon\u2019t believe my words blindly. Think, reflect, and discern between truth and lies. That will be the real way to honor Maharshi Valmiki,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

The event was held in the presence of Prasanna Nandapuri Swamiji from the Rajanahalli Valmiki Math. Ministers Satish Jarkiholi, K.N. Rajanna, and H.K. Patil, along with former MP V.S. Ugrappa, Basavangouda Daddal, and community leaders attended the program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
