JUST L I KE THAT Class Magazine of 2009 1

WHERE THE MIND IS WITHOUT FEAR

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action— Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. —

Rabindranath Tagore ‘Gitanjali’

EDITORS SPEAK Ab Bhi Jiska Khoon Na Khaula Khoon Nahi Wo Paani Hai Jo Desh Ke Kaam Na Aaye, wo bekaar javaani hai Dhua Jhata Khula Gagan Mera Nayi Safar Naya Dagar Mera Jo Ban Sake Tu Humsafar Mera Nazar Mila Zara Dream Dream Dream Because dreams transform into thoughts And thoughts transform into actions. It was our dream since we joined this college to see the first copy of our college magazine. We made some efforts to collect articles and tried doing our work for bringing out a college magazine. But the work did not get any support and somehow the dream did not materialize. Now, we thought since we had computer facility, we could bring out an E-Magazine. We discussed and finally decided ourselves that we will surely bring out the magazine. And here is the E-Magazine you are reading. This magazine, we decided would have not many legal articles, but more of fun filled articles by students. And the magazine will contain many photos. It will be more like going through a photo album for all of you. Our class strength is less, but the quality of our class is high. We have the potential to do many things. But there was no opportunity to put out our talents. Dr. Abdul Kalam in his book Ignited Minds tells about the powerful seeds which do not get fertile land to sprout. The position of few of our classmates was similar. We did not have the forum to put out our talents. Within the limited opportunity, we tried to do our best. We do not have money to print this magazine, but we surely know the print technology and also know how to make use of the latest technology. Hence, we are out with this E-Magazine. 3

There were legal issues involved while bringing out this magazine. We know that people want to create some or the other problems. Hence we have tried our best to minimize these things by using our own photos. Wherever photos taken by others is used, we have mentioned the sources. Most of the articles written are by our team and copied from internet under various liberal license terms. The reason we kept the name as JUST LIKE THAT is because, the word “just” means “justice” and this word just is directly related to Law. And we thought of making this magazine just like that without any reason. This magazine will have only one issue. We wish to clarify one more thing. This is a magazine done by the students only. The views expressed here are of the editors only. The college / institution does not necessarily subscribe to them. There is no work of the college in this magazine. This magazine is for private circulation among the students of Class 2009 and selected members of the faculty of our college. This magazine is encrypted and then released on internet. Cracking the encryption and reading the file be the general public is prohibited. The editors have taken all the care to see that the magazine is strictly circulated among the students of class 2009. If in case, this magazine is circulated to general public; the editors are not responsible for any consequences arising out of it.

OUR COLLEGE

SBRR Mahajana Law College was started in 1992 under the stewardship of Dr. C.K.N. Raja – an eminent constitutional expert and a versatile personality in the educational field. Dr. Raja’s bio data runs to pages together (as told by our principal). He is the director of legal studies at our college. He is referred as Dronacharya and the Guru of the Gurus which is very much true. He has served as lecturer, reader and professor at various universities. He was the dean of the Department of law in Manasa Gangothri (Mysore University). He is the first person in India to get a doctoral degree in Constitutional Law. He has been in the field of literature also. He used to write for a newspaper called KORAVANJI which featured the cartoons of Cartoonist R.K. Lakshman. He hails from Nanjanagud taluk. He has been a native Mysorean for years. He has been associated with many great personalities like Upendra Baxi for instance. We were lucky enough to hear his lectures on Indian Penal Code and International Law. Apart from his class lectures, we were also blessed to hear his highly authoritative speeches during various functions and seminars. We remember him for his noble thoughts and simple way of living. We apologise to all of you for failing to get his complete bio data. We want to put his bio profile on free, open encyclopedia – Wikipedia. We hope we can do this work in coming days. 8

OUR UNIVERSITY

Crawford Hall – the place mostly remembered for the strikes we did!

The University of Mysore is among the foremost institutions of its kind, and is an enduring symbol in the sphere of higher education in India. It was founded by the then Maharaja of Mysore, His Highness Sri Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV and his Dewan, the renowned engineer statesman, Sir M.Visvesvaraya, on July 27, 1916. The Maharaja of Mysore became its first chancellor. A Bill to establish and incorporate the University was introduced in Mysore Legislative Council in 1916. It was passed unanimously on 17th July 1916. The first meeting of the University Council was held on 12th August 1916 and the first meeting of the senate on 12th October 1916. The University of Mysore became the first University outside the domain of the English administration in India, the sixth University in India as a whole, and the first ever University in Karnataka. During the institution of the University in 1916, four faculties were constituted viz., Arts, Science, Engineering and Technology, and Medicine. Seperate Boards of Studies and Boards of Examiners were constituted in 28 subjects. The University was also administering 12 other educational institutions. 20

The first Act of the University came in the year 1933 (University of Mysore Act 1933). The first report of the curriculum followed by different departments is available in the University's Calendar 1947-48. The University offered a two-year intermediate course, three year B.A.(Hons), B.Sc.,(Hons) Degree courses and M.A., M.Sc., courses. There were also the faculties of Medicine and Engineering. The University also offered Diplomas in vocational subjects. The University Extension Lectures and Publication Bureau were notable features of the University.

The main campus of the University, created in 1960, lies in a picturesque area of 739 acres at the western end of the Kukkarahalli Lake. The University headquarters, the Crawford Hall, is located right across the lake on the eastern end. This inspiring locale of the campus was aptly named Manasagangotri (fountainhead of the Ganges of the Mind) by the poet-laureate, Dr. K.V.Puttappa (Kuvempu). In due course, two satellite campuses were set up in response to the demands of postgraduate education from semi-urban/rural areas: Sir M.Visvesvaraya Postgraduate Centre at Tubinakere in Mandya, and the Mysore University Postgraduate Centre at Hemagangotri in Hassan. In the beginning, the entire princely state of Mysore comprising of nine districts came under the jurisdiction of the University. Now it is confined to 21

Mysore, Mandya, Hassan, and Chamarajanagar districts. The remaining areas come under the Bangalore University (1964), Mangalore University (1980), and Kuvempu University (1987). The institution, incidentally, gave birth to one more University in 1996 when the Institute for Correspondence Courses and Continuing Education in the Manasagangotri campus, got transformed into the Karnataka State Open University. The University now encompasses 122 affiliated colleges and 5 constituent colleges (with an aggregate of 53,000 students). In addition, the University has 37 postgraduate departments, 8 specialised research & training centres and 2 postgraduate centres that together offer about 55 regular academic programmes to 3,500 students. It also runs a number of employment-oriented diploma courses and certificate programmes. The postgraduate departments are reputed for excellence in advanced studies and research, and have attracted projects and grants worth crores of rupees from many national and international institutions.

OUR CITY - MYSOORU

Mysore is the second largest city in the state of Karnataka, India. It is the headquarters of the Mysore district and the Mysore division and lies about 146 km (91 mi) southwest of Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka. The name Mysore is an anglicised version of Mahishūru, which means the abode of Mahisha. Mahisha stands for Mahishasura, a demon from the Hindu mythology. The city is spread across an area of 128.42 km2 (50 sq mi) and is situated at the base of the Chamundi Hills. Mysore is famous for the festivities that take place during the Dasara festival when the city receives a large number of tourists. Mysore also lends its name to the Mysore style of painting, the sweet dish Mysore Pak, Mysore Peta (traditional silk turban) and the garment called the Mysore silk saree.

LAW EDUCATION IN INDIA In India, legal education has been traditionally offered as a three years graduate degree. However the structure has been changed since 1987. Law degrees in India are granted and conferred in terms of the Advocates Act, 1961, which is a law passed by the Parliament both on the aspect of legal education and also regulation of conduct of legal profession. Under the Act, the Bar Council of India is the supreme regulatory body to regulate the legal profession in India and also to ensure the compliance of the laws and maintenance of professional standards by the legal profession in the country. To this regard, the Bar Council of India prescribes the minimum curriculum required to be taught in order for an institution to be eligible for the grant of a law degree. The Bar Council also carries on a period supervision of the institutions conferring the degree and evaluates their teaching methodology and curriculum and having determined that the institution meets the required standards, recognizes the institution and the degree conferred by it. Traditionally the degrees that were conferred carried the title of LL.B. (Bachelor of Laws) or B.L. (Bachelor of Law). The eligibility requirement for these degrees was that the applicant already have a Bachelor's degree in any subject from a recognized institution. Thereafter the LL.B. / B.L. course was for three years, upon the successful completion of which the applicant was granted either degree. However upon the suggestion by the Law Commission of India and also given the prevailing cry for reform the Bar Council of India instituted upon an experiment in terms of establishing specialized law universities solely devoted to legal education and thus to raise the academic standards of legal profession in India. This decision was taken somewhere in 1985 and thereafter the first law University in India was set up in Bangalore which was named as the National Law School of India University (popularly 'NLS'). These law universities were meant to offer a multi-disciplinary and integrated approach to legal education. It was therefore for the first time that a law degree other than LL.B. or B.L. was granted in India. NLS offered a five years law course upon the successful completion of which an integrated degree with the title of "B.A.,LL.B. (Honours)" would be granted. Thereafter other law universities were set up, all offering five years integrated law degree with different nomenclature. The next in line was NALSAR 24

university of law set up in 1998. The National Law University, Jodhpur offered for the first time in 2001 the integrated law degree of "B.B.A, LL.B. (Honours)" which was preceded by the West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences offering the "B.Sc., LL.B. (Honours)" degree. The Prestigious M.S. University has also started Baroda School of Legal Studies since 2005, which also offers 5 years integrated law course. It has a uniqueness of having computer applications and yoga & stress management as subjects. Another achievement in this field was the setting up of National Law University,Delhi at New Delhi, the first national law school of the capital. However despite these specialized law universities, the traditional three year degree continues to be offered in India by other institutions and are equally recognized as eligible qualifications for practicing law in India. Another essential difference that remains is that while the eligibility qualification for the three year law degree is that the applicant must already be a holder of a Bachelor's degree, for being eligible for the five years integrated law degree, the applicant must have successfully completed Class XII from a recognized Boards of Education in India. Both the holders of the three year degree and of the five year integrated degree are eligible for enrollment with the Bar Council of India upon the fulfillment of eligibility conditions and upon enrollment, may appear before any court in India. The setting up of Karnataka State Law University has heralded a new era in the law education. Shri J S Patil has been appointed as the Vice Chancellor of the University. The Karnataka State Law University is sui generis (only one of its kind). The university is the only Law University in the Globe! From now onwards, all the law colleges of Karnataka will be functioning under the guidance of Karnataka State Law University.

VISHWA MAANAVA SANDESHA By Shri Kuvempu

Message Of Universal Man Every child, at birth ,is the universal man. But, as it grows, we turn it into “a petty man”. It shouldbe the function of the education to turn it again into the original “universal man”. The child which by birth was the universal man us fettered by us with such constraints as country, language, religion, caste race and colour. To free it from all these limitations and transform it into “the enlightened soul”, that is to say the universal man, -- this should become the first and foremost function of our education, culture, civilization and what not. All children of the world should become “unhoused” beings, if the world should survive , should continue to live, and advance. In the course of human evolution great men arose at different periods to fulfill the needs of their times and (then they) passed into history. The message of some of them assumed the form of a distinct religion, but eventually narrowed down into a mere creed. The voice of the great souls, which had sprung from the noble motive of bringing together all men and making them live nobly, degenerated into a mere creed, and thus became a pernicious opiate. There are instances of a religion turning into a mere creed in the course of time and 53

becoming quite worthless in the process, thus giving rise to another – one more new religion. In this manner, numerous creeds arose, broke up humanity into groups and schisms, and have even ignited was, almost as if they were the root cause of all the troubles and turmoils of the world! To the experimental outlook of our scientific age the superstition of religion is no longer acceptable. As Vinoba Bhave said some years agao, “The days of religion and politics have passed. The age of science and spirituality has now to dawn”. The Religion of Humanity, the Universal Path, the Welfare of All Reconciliation, the Integral Vision – these five mantras should become view of the future. In other words, what we want henceforth is not this religion or that religion, but then Religion of Humanity; not this path or that path but then Universal Path; not the wellbeing of this individual or that individual, but the Welfare of All; not turning away and breaking off from one another, but reconciling and uniting in concord and harmony; and above all, not the partial view of narrow creed, not the dual outlook of the material and the spiritual, but the Integral Vision of seeing all the things with the eye of the Divine. Ideas which are applicable to all mankind do not relate to a single cast or creed, a single section or country. Since they are of value for all time, these are basic human values which tend towards uniting all men and enabling them tolive in harmony. They give no room to groupism, which, after all, is the sordid game of politics. While giving full scope for individual freedom, this view aims at collective uplift. On this view it is possible to have as many religious as there are individuals; and it is possible for all the individuals to contribute towards the development of the whole community. It is this “vision” which is proclaimed by the following poem. “The Unhoused Consciousness.” The Charter of Fundamental Fundamental Principles, to be practiced in in order to become universal man: The Seven Articles (of the Charter) 1. We have to accept unconditionally that “All mankind is verily, one (community).” 2. Our attempt should be not to reform the caste system but to wipe it out completely. That is to say, distinctions like Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas 54

and Sudras, or the Depressed classes, or Shia and Sunni, or Catholicas and Ptotestant, or Sikh and Nirankari, should be eradicated altogether. 3. The caste systems that exist in all countries and all religions should be totally denounced and completely destroyed. 4. ‘Religion’ should go, and ‘spirituality’ alone, being a scientific principle, must be recognized. 5. ‘Religion’ should become ‘the Religion of Humanity’; the Path should become the ‘Universal Path’; and man should become the ‘Universal Man’. 6. Religion should not become a matter for creating schisms. No one should belong to any particular religion; on the contrary, everyone should belong to “his own” religion – the religion that he has personally discovered. This will mean that there will be as many religions as there are individuals in the world; no one will seek to embrace another’s religion, from his own group and create factions. 7. No single book should become the “only one” and the “most scared” scripture. Everyone should, on the contrary study and assimilate all the books he can and should freely decide what to accept, and build for himself his own ‘philosophy’. POEM OF THE UNIVERSAL MAN O my spirit… set roots nowhere… O my spirit Grow beyond the myriad forms… Go beyond the countless names… From a heart overfull, inspiration bursts forth… O my spirit… set roots nowhere… O my spirit Winnow the chaff of a hundred creeds… Stretch beyond the stifling philosophies… Rise, immense and endless as the cosmos… O my spirit… set roots nowhere… O my spirit Rest nowhere on the unending road… Build never a binding nest… Touch never the boundary… O remain infinite and boundless… O my spirit… set roots nowhere… O my spirit 55

Infinity's Yoga has no end… Endless is the quest you apprehend… You are that infinity… become that boundless… Ascend, ascend, ascend, ascend! O my spirit… set roots nowhere… O my spirit Grow beyond the myriad forms… Go beyond the countless names… From a heart overfull, inspiration bursts forth… O my spirit… set roots nowhere… O my spirit Winnow the chaff of a hundred creeds… Stretch beyond the stifling philosophies… Rise, immense and endless as the cosmos… O my spirit… set roots nowhere… O my spirit Rest nowhere on the unending road… Build never a binding nest… Touch never the boundary… O remain infinite and boundless… O my spirit… set roots nowhere… O my spirit Infinity's Yoga has no end… Endless is the quest you apprehend… You are that infinity… become that boundless… Ascend, ascend, ascend, ascend! O my spirit… set roots nowhere… O my spirit

ABOUT KUVEMPU Kuppali Venkatappa Puttappa (December 29, 1904 - November 11 ,1994) is a Kannada writer, poet, widely regarded as the greatest poet of 20th century Kannada literature. He is the first among seven recipients of Jnanpith Award for Kannada. Puttappa wrote all his literary works using the pen name Kuvempu. He is the second among Kannada poets to be revered as Rashtrakavi (after M. Govinda Pai). His work Sri Ramayana Darshanam, the rewriting of the great ancient Indian epic Ramayana in modern Kannada, is regarded as revival of the era of Mahakavya (Epic poetry) in a contemporary form and charm. He is immortalised by some of his phrases, and in particular for his contribution to Universal Humanism or in his own words Vishwa maanavataa Vaada. He was conferred Padma Bhushan by Government of India. Kuvempu started his literary work in English first, with a collection of poetry called Beginner's Mus, and later switched to Kannada. He spearheaded 56

Kannada as a medium for education, emphasizing the theme of "Education in Mother tongues". To cater to the needs of Kannada research, he founded the Kannada Adhyayana Samsthe (The Institute of Kannada Studies) in Mysore University. As Vice-Chancellor of Mysore University, he pioneered the study of Basic Sciences and Languages. He also championed the Publishing of knowledge for laymen, started by G. Hanumanta Rao. Kuvempu was more than a writer, and the way he lived his life was in itself a great message. He was against casteism, meaningless practices and rituals. Kuvempu's writings also reflect his resentment against the caste system according to which the shudras were unfit to attain knowledge. Kuvempu (from the Vokkaliga community) also gives a different perspective to the characters in the Ramayana unlike the portrayal of characters by Valmiki in his Sri Ramayana Darshanam which won him Jnanpith Award. This work is the complete Ramayana in Kannada. It underscores his vision of sarvodaya (Upliftment of One & All). Rama of his Ramayana personifies this when he tests himself along with his wife Seeta, by jumping into the fire. O nanna chetana, Agu nee aniketana (ఓ నన ెౕతన, ఆగు ౕ అ ెౕతన ) which can be translated as "Be unhoused o my soul, only the infinite is your goal" is a very popular note by Kuvempu on Universal Humanism. His speech during the convocation ceremony of Bangalore University has been published in the book, vichaarakranthige aahwaana. It calls for a reassessment of developmental policies. Though it was delivered in 1974, the message is still considered relevant. In the year 1987, a new university was started in Shimoga district, Karnataka in the name of Kuvempu. It is located in Jnana Sahyadri campus, 28 km from Shimoga.

EPILOGUE We thank all of them who directly and indirectly helped in bringing out this magazine. People may feel – “what’s the use of this magazine? No one will ever read it. This work is waste.” For all those pessimistic human beings, our answer is ready here: “హుెూౕ ా ె? ాూౕ ా ె? ఏాదరు ా ెూౕెూౕ ె!” - హంస#ెౕఖ

This poem written by Shri Hamsalekha (a great poet and music director) means: “why are we born? Why do we die? To achieve something and leave” . We wanted something as a memory before leaving the college, and hence this E Magazine. Some of our friends used to ask why we do not have a Magazine in our college. Some people said that it is a very difficult task to bring out a magazine. Now, by bringing out this magazine, we are showing that this work was not impossible. -- Gagan and Chandan Editors
