മലയാളം വളരുന്നുവോ, തളരുന്നുവോ?

ഭാഷകൂടാതെ ആശയ വിനിമയം ഏതാണ്ട് അസാധ്യമാണ്. വിചാരങ്ങളോടൊപ്പം വികാരവും സന്നിവേഷിപപിക്കപ്പെടേണ്ടാതാണ്. എങ്കിലേ അതിനു ജീവച്ചൈതന്യമുണ്ടാവ്. അതിനു ഏറ്റവും അനുയോജ്യം മാതൃ ഭാഷ തന്നെയാണ്. എന്നാല്‍ മലയാളി സുഹൃത്തുക്കള്‍ വാക്കിനു വാക്ക് ആങ്ളേയ ഭാഷ പ്രയോഗിക്കുന്നവരാന്. അതുകൊണ്ടുതന്നെ പുതിയ വാക്കുകളോ, പ്രയോഗങ്ങളോ ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നതിനു പകരം, അത് സൃസ്ടിക്കുന്നതിനു പകരം എളുപ്പത്തില്‍ മറ്റു ഭാഷാ പ്രയോഗങ്ങളും വാക്കുകളും കടമെടുത്തു സ്വന്തം ഭാഷയെ ധരിദ്രമാക്കുന്നു! കാലക്രമേണ ഈ ഭാഷ നശിക്കാതിരിക്കണമെങ്കില്‍ അത് സര്‍വാത്മന ഉപയോഗിക്കപ്പെടണം. അതിനു ഭാഷാ പ്രേമികള്‍ തയ്യാറാവണം.

National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions...

TheHon'ble Justice Mr. Siddiqui, Chairman of the National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions along with the member of the Commission, Dr. Cyriac Thomas visited Trivandrum on Monday, 24th May 2011. The Commission had a Conference with 'the representatives fo the various Christian Educational Institutions' in the city as arranged by the Syro-Malankara Major Archdiocese of Trivandrum.

From our archdiocese Mr. S. Varghese, its Pastoral Council Vice-President and former member of the State Human Rights Commission, Former Principal, University College, Thiruvananthapuram, Dr. Sunny Francis, the Pastoral Council Secretary and Member, Board of Education and Professor at Universtiy College, Thiruvananthapuram, Mr. Nelson, our Office Administrator and former Dy. Secretary to the Govt. of Kerala, Fr. Shaji D' Silva, the secretary to the archbishop and myself represented.

It was mostly an interactive session wherein doubts could be clarified and matters were made easy and clear as for as the process of obtaining Minority Status Certificate from the Goverment of India.

Besides this, there seemed to be somekind of sefl interest for the Malankara archdiocese in presenting their proposal of making Mar Ivanios College and the other institutions in the campus into an autonomous institution or a deemed university and of seeking the support of the Commission and it was made clear when the member of the Commission announced that as a good news!

Yes, people know how to manipulate an occasion to their favour and invite people for that without in any way giving any doubts. Well, they can make their demands, but why should they invite us and make us onlookers to such shows?

A sense of the archdiocesan education...

Much to be done in the admissions to our schools...

Latin Catholics - much to aspire for...

Latin Catholics are known to be one of the backward communities! Instead of empowering them to reach the top, backwardness is still used by the 'authorities' to bargain little trifles. They conveniently forget that this repeated usage of 'backwarness' somehow makes them to passively accept this 'backward' title!

That is what is more than evident in the results of the Engineering and Medical Entrance Examinations. A comparison with the Muslims since 2008 will speak volumes.
