Mysuru: Senior writer and thinker Dr. N. Ratna released the book “Hitachintaka,” at a function held in commemoration of late thinker and linguist Prof. Lingadevaru Halemane and organised by Desiranga Samskrutika Trust at Jaganmohan Palace recently. The book is written by Trust Secretary Krishna Janamana.
Speaking on the occasion, former Rangayana Director C. Basavalingaiah recalled his association with Prof. Halemane and regretted that “the country is now moving towards old values, instead of exploring new values based on present requirements. Lords of Democracy (people) are becoming slaves in the present situation. Earlier, people used to say- “We, the citizens of India” but now we are being forced to say “We, the Slaves of India”.
