BHASHA UTSAV 2012
Department of Languages
Bhasha Utsav 2012
As the music reverberated from the gate, the campus
came alive with the thumping of feet, clapping of hands and swaying of the
body, in tune with the music. Bhasha Utsav had arrived! And with it the binding
with the rich folk tradition that is part of us despite being far removed from
it, proving that the power of the folk medium is truly a force to reckon with.
Culture as we know is greatly preserved and
promoted by tradition and what is tradition but a handing down of beliefs and
customs from one generation to the next in oral or traditional art forms.
September 7, 2012 celebrated as Bhasha Utsav and Ethnic Day was the day which
brought young and old alike, face to face with some of the folk art
performances.
Besides the student performances from
across the country and beyond, the day belonged to the professional artistes. Whether it was the Veera Gase, a vigorous dance folk form involving very
intense energy-sapping dance movements or the Singari Melam which made
use of the chenda, a cylindrical
percussion instrument as an accompaniment or the Naiyandi Melam, a
narrative technique using the drums to tell a story or Ammankudam Thullal
a lively folk art performed
balancing pots on the head, it was a feast for the eyes and thunder for the
ears.
Added to this were the myriad colours that flooded the campus in the
ethnic wear that Christites turned up in and one had to admit that it was truly
a microcosm of the world - a coming together of people from many nations. It
was a day that Christites would cherish for a long time to come.

Report on
Interactive Session with Col. MB Ravindranath on the ‘Battle of Tololing’ to mark Kargil Vijay Divas
(26th July 2012, 2:30 pm, Room No. 911, Central Block)
To commemorate the 13th anniversary of India’s victory in the Kargil War, the Department of Political Science had organized an Interactive Session with Col. MB Ravindranath, Commanding Officer of the 2nd Battalion Rajputana Rifles at the time of the Battle of Tololing in 1999. Also present were the present Commanding Officer of the unit, Col. Narender Singh, and some of the men who had fought the war alongside Col. Ravindranath. The 2nd Battalion Rajputana Rifles enjoys the distinction of having received several decorations for bravery and national service, including 1 Param Vir Chakra, 1 Ashok Chakra, 10 Maha Vir Chakras, 8 Kirti Chakras, 41 Vir Chakras, 25 Shaurya Chakras, 112 Sena Medals, 36 Vishisht Seva Medals, 2 Yudh Seva Medals, 85 Mention-in-Dispatches and 55 Arjun Awards. Col. Ravindranath himself has been a recipient of the Vir Chakra.
Col. MB Ravindranath, at the outset of his address on the significance of the Battle of Tololing, provided students with a brief introduction to the structure of the Indian Army and the role of the Infantry therein. He then outlined the political conditions prevailing between India and Pakistan before the War, and then narrowed his focus to the method and objective of the Pakistani offense in Kargil. With useful maps, charts and videos displayed via powerpoint, he explained the tactics and line of attack adopted by Pakistan towards cordoning off National Highway 1D, Leh to Srinagar, to cut off and isolate Kashmir. It was in this context that 2nd Battalion Rajputana Rifles was brought in to repel the enemy attack.
Col. Ravindranath explained the difficulties and challenges that the Indian Army faced in the task of foiling the enemy attack. The greatest tactical disadvantage that our men faced was that whereas the enemy soldiers had stationed themselves at higher mountain altitudes, Indian soldiers had to attack from below, in a terrain devoid of any natural cover. Hence, the Indian army could move and attack only at night, when visibility was severely limited. Added to this was the fact that his unit was undermanned and underequipped at the time of the sudden summons to battle. Also, his men had to rapidly move from the plains to an altitude of 6000 feet with no time to acclimatize. The unit also lacked senior officers at the time; however this was compensated by the competence of the Jawans.
Col. Ravindranath then took the audience through each motion of strategy execution while they listened with rapt attention. He concluded by praising his soldiers whose indomitable spirit helped the under supplied battalion to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. During the vibrant audience interaction, he made an insightful remark when questioned about why India didn’t neutralize all enemy soldiers at Kargil: Quoting Sun Tzu he said, “An enemy must always be provided an escape route which serves as a distraction from his primary objective of combat. If the enemy knows that he can escape, only half his heart will be in the battle whereas the other half will be in the escape. If that escape route is denied to him, his entire focus will be drawn to the battle.” Hence, a battle is won not only physically, but also psychologically.
