Straight Talk

Decoding chhotebhai’s ‘THE JERUSALEM CODE’ -*Fr. Cedric Prakash SJ

Decoding is never child’s play! But when one is entrusted with the task of sifting and sieving the past, present and future, the fact from the fiction, the possibility from the

impossibility, the probability from the improbability, the simple from the complex, then one is not merely decoding but in actuality, developing a new code as complicated and essential as one’s DNA!

52 Veez Konkani

‘The Jerusalem Code’ is exactly that: a significant attempt to give the Church (particularly in India) a new code which prompts for a more sincere examination of conscience and deeper commitment; for reform and renewal. The author himself puts it succinctly in the Preface saying, “This book is an honest

attempt to study the life and mission of the church in the Past and present, and to present a vision of the church of the Future”.

chhotebhai (who begins his name with a small letter ‘c’) is no stranger to Scripture, Theology, Church History and to the Catholic Church at large; he is an erudite scholar grounded in painstaking research.

‘The Jerusalem Code’ is his fifth book; besides, he has also authored hundreds of articles on a whole range of subjects. chhotebhai is a former National President of the AllIndia Catholic Union and a former Director of the International Council of Catholic Men; all his writings therefore are naturally shaped with the deep experience and rich expertise he has garnered through his involvement in various institutions and fora, both within

and outside the Church. He believes in ‘Straight Talk’ which sometimes also gets him into controversy.

‘The Jerusalem Code’ is no ‘Da Vinci Code’ but in a very different way, as gripping! It is a ready reckoner for those who would like to have a glimpse of the Church’s past and a more studied understanding of the present. The final section which delves into the ‘Future’ is perhaps the most fascinating: it takes the reader on a heady roller-coaster ride of what could be the Church of the future. Yes, there are fantasies (and the author has the right to fantasize); but the nine chapters here cannot be wished away, because in the light of today’s realities, they do make plenty of earthy sense and are pregnant with possibilities of a very different tomorrow.

The 356-page ‘tome’ (if it can be referred to as one) weaves delicately into a host of sensitive issues like papal infallibility, clericalism, celibate clergy, women priests, divorce, and remarriage. There is certainly no ready-made, black and white answers to several of the

53 Veez Konkani

issues which the author touches upon; however, the very fact that he does refer to some contentious matters, makes a concerned person reflect a bit more on these issues and see how best they should be addressed today.

In a fairly ‘general’ work like this, when many issues are addressed, some seemingly important ones are left out. This is to be expected. The author never makes a defense of trying to address all issues that are at stake. chhotebhai takes legitimate pride of his devotion to St Francis of Assisi, to being a kind of a Franciscan himself (changing his name to ‘chhotebhai’ meaning ‘friar minor’ or ‘little brother’) and of his unabashed delight of Pope Francis’ papacy and teaching (including the fact that the Pope is named after Francis of Assisi).Throughout the book, chhotebhai makes no effort to hide his proclivity to Franciscan spirituality and to Ignatian spirituality; the book is heavily referenced to Jesuit authors, examples and to a typical Jesuit way of proceeding which includes ‘the discernment of spirits’ to ‘the

prophetic role of the laity’ Very symbolically, chhotebhai completed writing the manuscript of his book on 4 October 2020, the Feast of St Francis of Assisi. On that very day Pope Francis gave to the world his latest Encyclical ‘Fratelli Tutti’; on hindsight, chhotebhai could have perhaps added another Final Chapter to his book with the title ‘Past, Present, Future’ with some key insights from the radical and transformative message of ‘Fratelli Tutti’. This would certainly have qualitatively enhanced the direction which ‘The Jerusalem Code’ provides.

That apart, chhotebhai, through his pathbreaking book, has done a great service to the Church in India.

There is today a lamentable decline of serious reading in Church circles, leave alone scholarship. Many tend to get overwhelmed with superficial communication and instant ‘education’. Given its contents (both facts and fiction, his-story and herstory) ‘The Jerusalem Code’ is like a breath of fresh air; a must-read for all: particularly Bishops, priests and religious, for those in formation and

54 Veez Konkani

for all laity. Eminent Theologian Rev Dr. T.K. John SJ in the ‘Foreword’ to the book, appropriately defines chhotebai’s role “In the area of

religion we have believers with a heightened sense of the right order established by God who are concerned with the full compliance with the divine plan for the human family. God’s plan and initiatives are for the welfare of God’s people.

God’s ambassadors are expected to facilitate compliance with the divine plan for the people.”

‘The Jerusalem Code’ does exactly that! It is straight talk with an old code in a new idiom; very similar to God’s command to St Francis of Assisi, “Go and Repair my Church!”

Tulunadu - How Geography

Shapes History Dr. Rudolf Joyer Noronha

Curious trails of correlation between the history of the people who reside in a region and the geographical features that make up its terrain and atmosphere is often palpable in human civilisations - Tulunadu is also unique.

The landforms, ecosystems and even the minuscule of the elements often are found to have a say on the collective 87 Veez Konkani

destination of the human race and those environs. Administratively non-existent but culturally and economically thriving region of Tulunadu that lay between Barkur town of Udupi district in the North and Chandragiri river in Kasargod district of Kerala in the South, depicts such an interwoven tale that is markedly unique and impactful.

The Western Ghats that watches over the Tulunadu region are a momentous Geographical entity that has expressively shaped its history. The colossal protrusions of the earth that rise to high altitudes impact the destiny not just of the region but all flora and fauna in it and along with it has a significant say over the history of the human race that inhabits these Tulu lands.

The majestic and biologically rich Ghats that run along with it parallel to the seashores form a large barrier for the intrusion of any significant influence from the regions beyond them. They have prevented large armies from moving at will. The Ghats also have prohibited large scale migrations and to a great extent minimized homogenization or

equalization of the cultural, linguist and social patterns belonging to greater plains which exist on their other side.

This protection has given birth to the unique language and culture of Tulunadu region which has retained many of its ancient traditions which to date remain greatly attached to their environs.

Spirit worship traditions, the farmrelated traditions like the Buffalo race, cockfight, the vibrant art form of Yakshagana are to name a few of them. Thus, the uniqueness of language and culture, and also the antiquity and native flavour of art forms of this land, owe their existence to the great Western Ghats.

The

88 Veez Konkani

Western

Ghats

block

the

capricious rain-bearing clouds from hovering over them and induce them to shower upon the Tulunadu region apart from their own hilly expanses. The rainfall amounts to 7000 mm over the Western Ghats, and they see that Tulunadu region too gets drenched by no less than 3500 to 5500 mm of showers during a long and protracted season of deluges. These rains build and nourish thick and thin canopies of greenery not just on the foothills but also on vast stretches of lands reaching almost till the Coast of Tulunadu region. Rains also lend fertility to the soil. They support the agrarian activities and result in abundant produce of paddy and other yields which for more than 2000 years have attracted the trading communities from as far as Greece and Rome.

Muslim traders from Muscat and Yemen thronged to her coasts for buying paddy and other agrarian produce. During the era of imperialism, Western nations too depended on this coast for buying rice along with other spices.

The timber which is abundantly available in these green

realms also attracted the attention of Europeans, especially for building their ships and strengthening their navies. Thus, the rains that formed forests and rendered the soil fertile, while putting the Tulu ports on the global trade network, inadvertently attracted the attention of imperial predators.

Rains have been flooding the slopes of the Ghats for millions of years.

These floods, while rushing down the grand slopes of the Western Ghats, had to somehow reach a vast water body that could collect them and tranquillize them. For that purposes, these gushes of water over millions of years have carved paths through valleys and lowlands.

These paths are now reckoned as rivers. And these rivers traverse

89 Veez Konkani

across Tulu country making it barely conducive to transportation without bridges.

These rivers have been arteries of transportation and trade in Tulunadu region for more than a thousand years. Produced from the heartland and from the regions beyond the Ghats have reached the ports of Tulunadu region through these rivers. Though they swell to huge proportions and are barely navigable during the long monsoons season, they have provided an economical and convenient means for the hinterland produce to reach to the ports and thereby create a legacy of trade that existed with the Mediterranean and Middle East nations for more than a millennia.

The Ports like Basrur, Barkur, Mangalore, Mulki, Byndoor, Kumbla etc. which were the nodal points for trade with both regional and international trade too are a significant part of this geographical realm. The foreign ships coming from farthest of trading communities entered the

river mouth through the ocean and reached out to these ports to build the networks of trade that have been active form the earliest centuries of AD. These waterways, in the long run, attracted the Imperialists who established their hegemony in this region. Apart from many sufferings that come with the process of colonization, there came a culture of acceptance of western education and healthcare among all the native communities of Tulunadu. Today this acceptance to western techniques, Systems and methods are a significant factor which shaped Tulunadu to be perceived in the fields of life and culture in the entire state of Karnataka. Thus, the Westen Ghats, the rivers, the monsoon and the Arabian sea have worked together in harmony to shape the historical trajectory of

the Tulunadu region along with the communities and influences of those who inhabit Tulunadu historically. =======================
