Oral epics in any Indian language are generally associated with certain specific communities, defined by their traditional occupations; and the present oral epic Koti Channaya belongs to the Billava community. This poetic narrative, which records the life and adventures of the two cultural heroes of the Billava community, their yearning for cultivable land, their brave opposition to the established powerful classes, and their tragic end, is sung by the members of the particular communities called Pambada and Parava of coastal Karnataka, during the annual worship of the twin heroes. The oral epic, Koti Chennaya unravels the world of Billava community (traditionally toddy-tappers) of coastal Karnataka recording in the process the life and adventures as also the travails and tribulations of the two cultural heroes of Billava community. Most of the oral epics begin with a 'Creation Myth', which begins with the creation of the entire universe step by step, thus focuses on the legendary first parents/ancestors of the community concerned. Such a myth, besides glorifying the cultural heroes of the epic, gives a privileged position to the community by linking it with the rest of the world and gives it a socio-cultural identity. Koti Channaya also begins with a 'Creation Myth'. A recent study undertaken by UNESCO says that half of the 6,700 languages spoken in the world at present face the danger of extinction before the end of this century.

My Take
- Author Name:
L.K. Advani
- Book Type:

- Description:
L.K. Advani's blogs cut across generations: they have a recall value for his contemporaries. Advani's blogs provide a rare insight into history for the young Indian, restless to do his bit in shaping the future of his country. They take him through the turmoil and toil of leaders like Sardar Patel and their distinctive contribution to shaping today's India. Advani's blogs have a dual purpose: they mirror an era gone by and yet link its relevance to an India, raring to take on the world. The blogs, therefore, successfully merge two periods: one to which Advani himself belongs with another which sees him as a mentor. That Advani has been a consequential politician is a given. As a protagonist in the political playfield spanning decades, he, along with Atal Behari Vajpayee, not only formed the Bharatiya Janata Party but transformed it dramatically. If the BJP is nationally in the reckoning today, it is because of the Atal-Advani vision of bringing it centre-stage from the margins. It is through this journey that he redefined secularism. During his historic yatras, including the Ramjanambhoomi and Somnath to Ayodhya, the country was compelled to redefine secularism and distinguish it from the pseudo-secularism handed down by adversaries. But that is only one part. The other and more significant is Advani's contribution to setting and elevating standards in public life and hammering that they are followed. That he has led from the front is well known. The strength of Advani's blogs, like his persona, is that they are direct, candid and forthright. There are no soft-pedalling issues or minimising the blow, as it were. He has stated facts as they are and did not attempt to underplay or exaggerate any sequence. His writings are as clear as his mind. The blogs offer a wide range: history, politics, books and all else. To those who have a stake in India's political future, Advani's blogs are a practical guide; for others an exciting read.

Motivating Thoughts of Kalam
- Author Name:
Prashant Gupta
- Book Type:

- Description:
A source of inspiration for every Indian, the country’s twelfth President, Abul Pakir Jainulabedin Abdul Kalam was born on October 15, 1931 in Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu. His father, Jainulabedin, and mother, Aashiamma, were simple, religious-minded people and held an honourable place in society Dr. Kalam, besides being a capable scientist, an ideal teacher and an excellent writer, had a good knowledge of Indian classical music and played the violin too. He also loved gardening and, despite a very busy work schedule, he was regular with his morning walk, prayers and yoga. He believed we must keep ourselves busy every moment of the day in a meaningful way and, at the same time, take time off to enjoy the fragrance of blooming flowers or watch the myriad colours of the flitting butterflies. "Quotes by A. P. J. Abdul Kalam “You have to dream before your dreams can come true.” “A dream is not that which you see while sleeping, it is something that does not let you sleep.” “You should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.” “If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun.” “All of us do not have equal talent. But, all of us have an equal opportunity to develop our talents.” “Man needs difficulties in life because they are necessary to enjoy success.’ “Don’t take rest after your first victory because if you fail in second, more lips are waiting to say that your first victory was just luck.” “Let us sacrifice our today so that our children can have a better tomorrow.” “I am not handsome but I can give my hand to someone who needs help... Because beauty is required in the heart, not in face...”
