The recent controversial treatment of the First Tamil Naadu State wide prize winner : Kumari Kaavya

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear Fair Minded AasthikAs with equal reverence for

Senthamizh (Agasthya BhAshai) and Deva BhAshai

of Sanskrit :

 

We had a lot of exchanges on this topic recently about the deliberate

and mischeivous act of the TN Govt , which came into political

power and began to settle old scores rightaway . This "US versus

THEM " attitude is deplorable for a state that wants to enter the modern

age of Electronics and Engineering .

 

By an imperial and unfair edict , the new government has reversed

the facts on field about Kumari Kaavyaa of the Oriental School , West Maambalam , who had earned the accolade of being the Topper ( Score of 1186 out of 1200

Marks) . The Government committed to setttle scores with the opposition

and lifted the second ranker , Sri Bharath by declaring him to be the first prize

winner because he chose Tamil Medium . His score is 1180/1200 . I am told that

Sri Bharath is not very happy about this undeserved & unearned recognition .

Kumari Kaavya seems to be gracious about this mistreatment by the local government , which has years of well honed policy of abusing the rights of

citizens for amassing political power and distributing largesse to its inner circle .

 

The concerned Members of our groups have made number of suggestions

ranging from legal actions ( petitioning the Supreme court ) to writing

as a group to the President of India to right the wrong . They also

suggested an active involvement of the MatAdhipathis thru protests .

Sri Krishna Moorthy has volunteered to raise some funds to recognize

Kumaari Kaavya to undo somewhat the wrong things done .

 

After consultations in India , a plan of action has been developed for

your consideration recognizing the fact that (1) Tamil Naadu State's

political philosophy is predictable and they will not budge from

their avowed position of being unfair (2) The Central Government is weak

and will not do anything against a state , whose support they need

(3) Education is the area reserved for the States and the states can do

whatever they want as long as their power base is in tact (4) The Mataadhipathis

are already in a constrained situation and they find themselves in

very sensitive areas to operate with freedom . Their main worries are

to serve their disciples and to provide spiritual guidance .They certainly

do not relish the prospect of entering the dirty world of politics

and fight with corrupt politicians .

 

Against this background , there is an actio plan . The highlights of

this plan is to recognize KumAri Kaavya by the interested citizens in

India and overseas with a purse to recognize her extraordinary talent and achievement and encourage her to go forward to put the talent to use

thru the pursuit of higher education .

 

Additional suggestions are : (1) We will take the high road and

honor the second topper , Sri Bharat at the same function to demonsrate

that we have no partiality of one or the other languages , since Tamil

and Sanskrit are like the two eyes for our culture (2) we will also

recognize the appropriate teachers of Kumari Kaavyaa and

Sri Bahrath as well , if they wish to be honored for TRAINING

such outstanding students .

 

The estimated expenses for the awards to be conducted at

the Oriental School , West Mambalam are20,000 Rs(~500$) .

The amount can be made Tax free by sending the award

funds through Sri Malolan Educational Trust ( Registered 80G

Holder ) . We can also just honor Kumari Kaavyaa and give her

the total proceeds . There are thus these two options . Sri Krishna Moorthy

of Chennai can coordinate the assembly of funds from India

and I will take care of the funds donated by Overseas lovers of

Sanskrit and our ubhaya VedAntham culture that celebrates

AzhwAr's AruLiccheyalhaLs and Vedams/Upanishads/Aagamams.

 

It will be my pleasure to make all the other relevant arrangements

including the award ceremony in cooperation with my counterparts

in India .

 

May I request you to review these recommendations and

send me private notes about your wish to join in this initative

to honor Kumari Kaavya for her achievements ? My e-mail is :

Dear Sri Singapiran :

 

Many thanks for your indication of interest to participate in

assembling some funds to reconize the Top Rank student

Kumari Kaavya in presence of Srimath Azhagiya Singar

at MdhurAnthakam in the near future . She is a student of

the Oriental School of West Mambalam founded by

HH Srimath DevanArviLAgam Jeeyar of Ahobila Matam .

 

Few aasthikAs shocked by the cruelty of the Tamil Naadu

Government have come forward to recognize this brilliant student

outside that Government .

 

You and others interested are welcome to mark the checks

to " Sri Ahobila Mutt " and send it to me for forwarding them to

Chennai for the presentatation ceremony. Overseas sishyAs can send

your checks ranging from $25 to $100 to me at :

V.Sadagopan

Apt 6B-1 , Scarborough Manor

P.O Box 307

Scarborough , NY 10510

 

Those in India , who wish to support this cause can forward your

checks to : Sri Karyam Swamy , Sri Ahobila Muth

30 Venkatesa Agraharam

Mylapore , Chennai 600 004

 

Please make a note in your check that it is for

the Prize for Kumari Kaavya .

 

Please send e-mail to me for tracking these contributions

sent to Chennai .

 

We should have no difficulty in raising 20,000 Rs for

the awards to the REAL 1st Rank and the 2nd Rank Students

and if it is deemed necessary , their teachers as well .

 

We will take the high road and set an example .
