Bangalore, Mar 29: “The verdict of the Supreme Court that pre-marital sex is not an offence, will pave way for the cultural debacle of Indians,” felt retired Governor of Bihar, and former Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court, Justice Rama Jois. He was speaking at a function organized at Maharashtra Mandal, Gandhinagar here, by Pushaka Shakti Publications, for releasing eight books, on Sunday March 28.
“The systems of joint family, systematic creation and running a family, etc., are part of the culture our ancestors had given rise to, for convenient living and disciplined life. Marriage is the blissful association of a man and a woman for a fruitful life-long relationship. The court has taken initiative to destroy this culture. This verdict will have a bad influence on the children,” he asserted.
“Even after innumerable attacks by foreigners, temples have taken a lead role to conserve Indian philosophy, righteousness and culture. In the recent past, there has been a shift in the behaviour of the people here, who, because of the influence of western culture, have been behaving in a way that is inferior to even animals,” he regretted. While adding that the cultural pollution has been acquiring fearful proportions, which is sure to lead to the destruction of the country, he advised the people to come together to save Indian culture.
Stalwarts like Prof G Venkatasubbaiah, Prof L S Sheshagiri Rao, H R Srinivas, Prof H S Lakshminarayan Bhat, M G Upadhyaya and Y Avaneendranath introduced the eight Kannada books released on the occasion.
Y K Mohan of Pustaka Shakti Publications, Kuntal R Amin etc., were present.
