Pic: IGP (Eastern Range) BR Ravikanthe Gowda addresses the opening ceremony of a three-day literary workshop at Haveri sub-jail Thursday Haveri: LN Mukundaraj, president of Karnataka Sahitya Academy, emphasised the significant role of Kannada literature in shaping individuals' character, highlighting the contributions of numerous Kannada writers. Speaking at the opening ceremony of a three-day literary workshop at Haveri sub-jail on Thursday, he discussed the works of notable authors such as Pampa, Kumaravyasa, Kanakadasa, Kuvempu, and Bendre, who incorporated human values in their writings. He highlighted Pampa's message of human unity. He acknowledged the contributions of Haveri's saint poets, including Santa Shishuvinahal Sharif, Sarvajna, and Kanakadasa, to Kannada literature. "Despite Kanakadasa's opposition to caste discrimination five centuries ago, society continues to struggle with divisions based on caste, religion, gender, property, and authority," Mukundaraj said. Inspector-general of police (Eastern Range) BR Ravikanthe Gowda described the workshop as unique in its approach to making literature accessible. He discussed how imprisonment leads to social exclusion for lawbreakers, noting the relationship between crime and criminal conduct. He suggested reading as a solution. "Literature's capacity to promote positive behaviour and discourage antisocial tendencies, recommending regular reading habits," the senior IPS officer said. The event was attended by SP Anshu Kumar, additional superintendent of police LY Shirakol, Haveri University vice-chancellor Suresh Jangamashetti, Karnataka Folklore University registrar CT Guruprasad, and jail assistant superintendent Khilari. Ganesh Aminagad coordinated the workshop, while Mallikarjun Manpade, academy member and coordinator, managed the proceedings. Literature's role in rehabilitation IGP BR Ravikanthe Gowda urged participants to utilise the three-day period effectively for personal growth rather than viewing it as a mere obligation. He recommended literature as an effective means for controlling anger and fostering personal development.
