Work still incomplete, but CM opens ‘renovated’ BCU campus

Work on only classrooms is complete; toilets are still being constructed

By Yashaswini Sri

As you enter Bangalore City University (BCU), you see debris lying on the sidewalks. With cement dust floating in the air, it is evident that renovation is taking place.

The office has been partially renovated. One room that has been renovated is crammed with office staff. On the left, a garden is being landscaped, with a JCB on the job.

Students cover their faces as they walk around the campus. Pebbles on the roads jump as vehicles move over them.

The vice-chancellor’s office is among the many areas that are still under renovation.

While much of the renovation is yet to be completed, chief minister Basavaraj Bommai inaugurated the BCU’s “renovated”

campus on March 23.

Varalakshmi M, an undergraduate student studying in BCU, said: "The renova-

Her classmate Tanya S shared: “The dust has been a huge inconvenience for us. Many of myfriends have allergies because of the constant renovation. As of now, only classrooms are renovated. Even the washrooms are under construction.”

Sandhya Sri, a BA student, said: “Compared to the past few months, I have to say it’s better now for us (students); 40 per cent of the renovation is still pending.” yashaswini.s@iijnm.org

Transgenders say it’s tough to adopt kids

By Vindhya Pabolu

Adopting children and getting marriage certificates are tough for transgenders in Karnataka.

According to the Supreme Court Observer, five judges of the apex court unanimously decided to partially strike down Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and decriminalized same-sex relations between consenting adults. The court held that this provision violates an LGBTQIA+ person’s rights to life, dignity, and freedom of personal choice under Article 21 of the Constitution of India.

Amulya, a 36-year-old transgender, informed The Observer: “I tried adopting a child a few

years ago at Nimhans. I took all the certificates, but they said I am not eligible to adopt a child and the central government doesn’t have any law to support

transgender adoption policies. There are many people in my community who are facing this problem. What is wrong with us adopting a child when we are fi-

nancially stable and can provide everything a child needs?”

Sana Suman, another transgender, shared: “Coming from the transgender community, it is difficult for us to adopt someone. If I want to adopt someone, even though I have all the certificates, they say I am not eligible.I don’t have a marriage certificate. The government still doesn’t allow us to have marriage certificates; adoption is connected to that. How are we supposed to adopt if we want to? It is not like we are committing a crime.

According to the Central Adoption Resource Authority, no child shall be given in adoption to a couple unless.”

Dalit writers continue to bear the brunt of discrimination

Both caste and gender work against Dalit women writers

By Vindhya Pabolu

Dalit writers continue to face discrimination despite gaining prominence in the field of literature.

Chesta Rajora, a Dalit writer, explained to The Observer how difficult it is for her to get her work published. “They reject my work because I belong to a Dalit community.” She feels pained that even today people like her face discrimination.

“Fundamentally, discrimination is structural. Secondly, on a much more discursive level, the type of literature being taught on campuses, the university curricula, and the path the academy has been pursuing have all been anti-Dalit. Dalit writers are not provided spaces where they are encouraged or trained to write,” Rajora said.

As per a research paper published by the Indian Institute of Dalits, Dalit writers have been discriminated against for long. They are not allowed to attend writers’ forums

It’s challenging for women Dalit writers to find the space to write and be heard. They are discriminated on grounds of caste and gender. For a long time, they endured social stigma and isolation from society, especially from upper-caste Hindus. Their harsh life made their position as writ-

ers even more difficult. But now they are gaining prominence.

Rajora said institutions do not encourage students to read about Dalit literature.

“That kind of epistemic erasure is very much present. When it came to me, the issue wasn’t one of encouragement but rather one of space; if I produce my work, who would decide where to publish it? This was the structure in place prior to 2016, when a certain incident rattled universities. After that, I noticed that conversations were taking place… in liberal areas. Eventually, it developed into a problem that needed to be resolved. Nonetheless, epistemic erasure was still present.”

Readers choose their books based on their interests.

Divya Pratha, who likes to explore the fantasy world is uninterested in Dalit literature, She expressed her disbelief about the agony of Dalits.

Srikar Potturi, who reads Dalit literature, said: “I find it strange how one part of a community is oppressed. The first book that I read was Annihilation of Caste by Dr B.R. Ambedkar. After reading it, I realised the importance of this topic.”

About the current situation, Rajora said it is slightly better as many publications and magazines run by upper-caste editors welcome Dalit writers, regardless of their political views.

“I won’t go to…until I have networks there. However, we also have various Dalit publications... Publication.”

Moyeen V.N., an author, said: “The outside world is full of politics. As writers, we face a lot of issues to get a book published. Looking at history, it’s a never-ending issue. I never write anything about communities and the oppression (the face) because all these are sensitive issues. Most of the people aren’t much into these because of the complexity and depth.”

Pratha shared: “It’s a complex topic. It takes a lot of time to understand and digest it. After some time, we don’t find it as interesting to read them anymore. For fiction, it talks about fantasies, which I find quite interesting. Our college also didn’t talk much about Dalit literature,”

Chitti Babu P, an author, said: “It’s a sensitive topic, so I would prefer talking to someone who know more about the topic instead of reading books.”

Laws have been enacted for Dalits to protect their right to security of life: Protection of Civil Rights Act, and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The Indian Constitution bans of untouchability under Article 17.

A research paper states that the term “Dalit literature” was first used in 1958 at the first Dalit conference in Bombay. The social struggle became the origin of Dalit literature.

In 20th century, a democratic movement arose that wanted a fair society for all humans would be on the same ground irrespective of their caste, colour, and nationality. It was a challenge to the caste system, which was the reason for oppression of Dalits.

Vasundhara, a political science professor at Andhra Mahila Sabha, Osmania University, said: “Over the years, they have been facing a lot of issues. Writing is the medium they used to bring them to attention. To silence these people, higher caste people try to suppress them because they hate the fact these people are rising. The writers still have to come out and continue to voice out their problems and let the outside world know that all should be treated equally before the law.”

Media outlets need to maintain neutrality

Gone are the days when news channels or media were neutral. Now most of them are biased. They have become either mouthpieces of the government or are completely against it. News media should not give judgments and opinions.

We must speak out against discrimination

Everyone says we keep on talking about discrimination against Dalits even today. People don’t come forward to solve the problem. They say “it’s nothing new” when someone raises voice against discrimination. But someone should keep addressing it until the problem is wiped out.

An article published by The News Minute shows how lessons written by Dalits, progressive writers and people who speak against communal violence were replaced with lessons on RSS ideologues.

Social reformers like Ambedkar and Jyotiba Phule raised their voice against the oppression and discrimination faced by Dalits. Literature became the prominent medium to explore and address the issues and difficulties of the community. vindhya.p@iijnm.org

Therapy by AI gains popularity, but therapists remain skeptical

Users say AI apps lack human emotions

By Siddhi Chauhan

Post-Covid, the Web is flooded with artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot apps that claim to help users with stress and depression. While some say they are helpful, others are sceptical.

According to data from World Mental Health Atlas 2014, India has an average of 0.2 psychiatrists per lakh people. A study published in 2019 states that it will take 42 years for the country to have the required number of psychiatrists.

Himanshi Solanki, a student who has used similar apps, informed The Observer: “These apps are easily available for users. They don’t have to take appointments, and most of the apps are free. They allow you to be anonymous.” This could be the reason why AI is expected to flourish in the coming years. People are trying to incorporate AI in various realms especially after ChatGPT gained popularity in India.

There are apps like Wysa that aim to provide mental health support to those in need with the help of chatbots.

Taru Dixit, a 23-year-old,

turned to a similar app named ‘We Hear You’ to cope with stress. The app provides features that let the user vent her/ his feelings in the chatbot.

About her experience with the app, Dixit said: “There is a lot of difference between getting treatment from a psychologist and sharing your problems with chatbots. AI is limited, no matter how much information you feed into it. It cannot understand human emotions. Human emotions are missing in these apps. As a result, you find yourself cribbing and the bot providing you with irrelevant solutions. If you go to a psychologist, she/he will

analyse your emotions and behaviour, but that is not the case with these apps. These apps act as an initial aid which shouldn’t be relied upon in case someone has a serious problem.”

Asked about the popularity of these apps, she said: “In India, mental health is still considered a taboo. Our generation is aware, but the parents of many of us might not consider it something that is important. Apart from that, seeing a psychologist is not something that everyone can’t afford. As a result, many people turn to these apps. Many people don’t know that therapists offer pro bono services.”

Wonders of world

The Observer went through the feedback given by the users of AI chatbot mental health apps including Wysa. A majority of users said that these apps incorporate meditation and journaling which are helpful. However, they complained about the absence of emotions. It made them think that it was a one-way communication.

To learn whether meditation (as suggested by these apps) helps an individual, The Observer spoke with Somya Kishore, a mental health therapist.

“People who are looking for spirituality have to focus on their soul. But here, in these apps, they are trying to use meditation as medication. Depression means that you are unhappy. Instead of inculcating the habit of meditation, these apps are diverting the user’s attention and making them feel that ‘all is well’.”

“Everyone has different reasons to be depressed. Some might be dealing with grief, while some might feel insecure about their career. Unless and until you are familiar with the person’s childhood history and their upbringing, you cannot provide treatment. If there is an app that does that, then it can be safe to use. There is a possibility that people might lie to the bot,” she added.

Do not ignore that jolt: In long run, static shocks can cause health issues

Pregnant women can be affected very badly: Doc

By Yashaswini Sri

Residents of Bengaluru have reported static shocks for a while now. The effects of these shocks on humans can be negative if they are exposed for an extended period.

According to The Weather Channel, meteorologists have gauged that Bengaluru is going through an uncharacteristically dry period, averaging a relative humidity between 30-40 per cent and 60-70 per cent.

Dr P. Pushpa, a general physician working at Medicover Hospital, explained to The Observer the effects of static shocks on humans. “Long-term exposure to such static shocks, no matter how momentary they are, can be harmful to humans, especially to aging and old people.

The Sun Temple

The Sun temple at Konark is the pinnacle of Odisha Temple Architecture and an UNESCO World Heritage Site. The temple is a culmination of seven hundred years of grind in search of perfection. Built in the 12th Century AD by King Narasimha Deva I and dedicated to the Sun God, the Sun Temple at Konark continues to leave us spellbound with its massive structure, symmetry, precision and intricate detailing. According to Archeologists the height of the Sun Temple at Konark is estimated to be around 227 feet, making it one of the tallest temples ever built in the country. However what remains today is the impressive Jagamohana (Entrance Hall) with the sanctum sanctorum has but almost collapsed. The other structure that still stands amidst the ruins is the Natya Mandap minus the roof. The temple was designed as a chariot of Sun God driven by twenty four beautifully carved wheels and pulled by seven horses.

Dr K.T.Y. Anil Kumar, an ENT specialist, said: “Static shocks have an effect on nerves. If there’s nerve damage near ears, it can lead to temporary or permanent hearing loss. Sometimes, there can be momentary hearing loss.”

should be extra careful as it can trigger them. Experiencing such shocks once or twice might not have a drastic effect on us, but we should not ignore them.”

About the effects of static shocks on pregnant women, Laxmi Vani, a gynecologist said: “As the intensity of the static shocks is low, there might not be serious consequences to pregnant women. However, constant and

long exposure to static shocks can result in deformities of the fetus.... Women should always talk about these experiences with their doctor to avoid complications during pregnancy.” Similarly, Dr V.

I don’t know what happened, but when I held the metal bar for support, I experienced a jolt of static electricity.

The Times of India reported that many Bengalureans reported static shocks while brushing hair, opening car doors, using a gas lighter or a metal tap or while rolling a plastic mat. yashaswini.s@iijnm.org

Vidyanidhi scheme’s potential beneficiaries skeptical about it

Doubt benefits will reach them on time

By Arsha B.S Farmers

and taxi drivers of Bengaluru, potential beneficiaries of the Vidyanidhi scheme launched on Thursday, are skeptical about it.

The Vidyanidhi scheme aims to provide scholarships for the children of farmers of drivers of yellow-board taxis. The scholarship ranges from Rs 2,500 to Rs 11,000. Medical and engineering students will receive Rs 11,000 under the scheme.

The launch, by chief minister Basavaraj Bommai, was attended by hundreds of drivers at the Kanteerava Indoor Stadium. Scholarships were distributed among 10 students.

Rudra Murthy, an autorickshaw driver, informed The Observer: “The amount is not enough to meet all the academic financial needs. We all know how government schemes work. It might take months for the money to reach us. They said the money will reach our children within 15 days. The only hope is that as elections are approaching, they might carry out the process properly.”

Mohan Bhat, another autorickshaw driver, said that he doesn’t have any hope in the government, but it is always better to try. “They do all this because elections are coming up. But nothing is going to happen. People are going to keep waiting for the money. After the elections, they will raise their hands and say that everything will be fine; everyone will get the money and walk away.”

ther is an auto driver. All these people (autorickshaw drivers) are struggling financially. It might help in easing their financial burden a bit,” she said.

An official from the Department of Social Welfare said all the information regarding the scheme is available on the department’s website. But The Observer did not find much information on the website about the scheme.

On November 8, 2022, the Seva Sindhu portal was opened for students to enroll themselves to become beneficiaries of the scheme.

Under the scheme, PUC students will receive Rs 2,500 to 3,000; undergraduate students Rs 5,000 to Rs 5,500; LLB, paramedical students Rs 7,000 to Rs 8,000; and MBBS and BTech students Rs 10,000 to Rs 11,000.

Quote of the day

“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced.”

Marriage certificates required for adoption, transgenders unhappy

Continued from page 1

Talkingabout the adoption facility for transgenders, Mallu S. Kumbar, state coordinator, Karnataka Sexual Minorities Forum, told: “Anyone who walks into the office with the required documents is eligible to adopt. We here have never denyed someone based on their sexuality.”

Nirmala A.N., programme officer at the State Adoption Resource Authority, explained: “We just take in all the applications and forward them to the court. The process of selecting children for couple is not in our hands. The court will decide who should adopt and who should not.”

According to Legal Service of India, an e-journal, a Bill was introduced in Parliament in 2019 to guarantee rights to people from the community. But it was not welcomed by the community.

They said the Bill was drafted hastily. It failed to cover the essential needs of the community, one of which is adoption rights.

Sana added: “After trying hard for years, I gave up on adopting a child legally from outside. I ended up adopting a child from

one of my family members.”

Hemanth Kumar, a lawyer, said that there are a lot of legal procedures that have to be followed before somebody adopts a child. “The current legal system does not allow an individual to adopt unless she is a widow. There is no provision for transpersons to adopt because most of them are single. We need to make sure that even if an unfortunate incident happens to the person who adopts, there

is someone else to take care of the child. Additionally, most of these people are not financially capable to raise a child. It is the security of the child that matters the most. I understand that they are fighting for their rights, but the matter is too complicated. We need to consider different aspects of the matter before making any decisions."

Madhu Bhushan, a women and gender rights activist, said: “Transgenders face difficulties not only in adoption but also in other sections like marriage certificates. The government has made many laws for them, but the problem lies in implementation.”

The Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act recognizes a valid adoption only if it is carried out by a man or woman. Therefore, third-gender adoptions are prohibited. But Section 41(6) of the Juvenile Justice Act says any person has the right to adopt.

According to a report by Economic Times, if same-sex union gets legalised in India as live-in couples are not yet permitted to adopt a child in the country, experts have said. vindhya.p@iijnm.org

Another report by Deccan Herald which came out on December 2022 says that “Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai wants his pet Raitha Vidya Nidhi scholarship scheme to cover anywhere between two and six lakh children of landless agricultural labourers, but authorities are struggling to identify them in the absence of proper data with them.”

This could be the reason why the potential beneficiaries are skeptical of the scheme. arsha.s@iijnm.org
