Republic Day was celebrated on Wednesday across the city with festive
fervour. Seminars, flag hoisting ceremonies and other events marked
the occasion.
Jnanpith awardee U.R. Ananthamurthy called upon Dalits to pressure the
Government to provide them reservation in employment in multinational
companies (MNCs) that are coming to Bangalore.
Inaugurating a seminar on 'B. Basavalingappa rajakaranada kendra
sthanakke Dalita shakti', organised here by Dalit Sangharsh Samiti,
Dalit Students Federation and Dalit Women's Federation, the writer
suggested that the Dalits not only seek reservation, but also learn
English and seek employment in MNCs as equals.
A bike rally and a seminar seeking implementation of the ideals of the
Constitution was organised by the Karnataka Dalit Sangharsha Samiti.
The seminar sought to address issues of universal literacy and
disregard to the ideals set by the founding fathers in the
Constitution by successive governments.
Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court J.S. Khehar unfurled the
National Flag on the High Court premises.
The Bangalore Division of Southern Railways organised Republic Day

parade.
The former Minister Katta Subramanya Naidu, participating in the
Republic Day function at the Postal Colony Welfare Association in
