Excerpts from Sahitya Akademi Bi-Monthly News Letter Sept.-Oct.2007.
Ms. Mami Yamada:
A ‘Literary Forum’ was organized on 17th September 2007 by Regional Office, Sahitya Akademi, Mumbai in which Mami Yamada, an eminent writer from Japan, who was in the city on Ananda Coomaraswamy Fellowship of Sahitya Akademi, spoke on her literary works with special interest in the traditional heritage. It was very interesting to hear from her that despite being a graduate in Economics she did her post-graduation in Marine Biology from Australia and subsequently developed a keen interest specifically in Indian Culture. She focused her talk on the goddess Saraswati, the Indian deity which persists in Japan too with traditional variations, where five Saraswati temples are situated on river banks.
The interesting part of Saraswati in Japan is that one cannot see the deity every day, she said. In some of the temples it is allowed once in a month or on a particular day in a year. In one of such temples, doors are opened once in 60 years.
She also spoke about her forthcoming book on magic. She being a researcher had interviewed about 500 Indian magicians. She especially went to Kerala in search of a Mango Tree Magician, perhaps the only one living in the world. She stayed there for few days along with one of her colleagues just to know the basic things of this magic performance. After intimate persuasion, he agreed to perform it on the soil and not on the concrete. She was really stunned to see a real mango tree on the soil which was full of fruits. She confirmed that the fruits were natural and she also tasted them from that tree. This and other aspects of India Magic are enumerated in her forthcoming book, which is going to be released shortly in Delhi.

Are not Sourashtras a Linguistic Minority in Tamil Nadu?
Extract from
BHASHA SAGAR – JULY 2008 – This is a ‘chamaasi’ [six monthly] journal published by
Sri Suresh A.Keswani, Ex-MP (RS) & CLM [Commissioner for Linguistic Minorities].
This is Bi-Yearly House Magazine for circulation among Central/State Govts./Panchayats Offices in all districts. [Not for Sale]
Dr.S.Shiva Kumar, Asst.Commissioner for Linguistic Minorities, Southern Zone, Chennai has written an article
“An Overview”Tamil Nadu:
“Tamil is the official language of the State. Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Urdu, Hindi and Gujarati have been declared as the minority languages in the State.
The Govt. has recognized these languages and provided facilities for learning in these languages. Three language formula s are not followed in the State. However, the provision for learning in the minority languages at primary/secondary stage can be traced back to the erstwhile composite state of Madras Presidency. Recently, this provision has been given a jolt by an Act of the Government of Tamil Nadu, making learning of Tamil compulsory.
The CLM visited Chennai from 24-25 March, 2008 and participated in various functions.
On the 24th March, 2008 he held a press conference at Chennai PIB and stressed the importance of growth of linguistic minorities in the country, sidelining of whom would hit the growth. He pointed out that the opportunity to grow had been lost because of the lack of access to primary education in their mother tongue. He stated that Tamil Nadu, as a state is an example for its ability to nurture talent and to preserve culture, religion and tradition. He also stressed the state to meet the demand of Kannada and Telugu speakers for primary education in their mother tongue. On 25th March, 2008 he inaugurated a seminar of Tamil Nadu Urdu Schools Educational Awareness. The worshipful Mayor of Chennai and his Highness of the Prince of Arcot were also present during the occasion. The CLM stressed the need for learning in mother-tongue and said the languages such as Urdu should not be neglected which have a rich cultural repertory. The speakers largely demanded for amendment to the Tamil learning Act to enable the linguistic minorities to learn in their mother tongue and Tamil as an optional language.”
You can find that SOURASHTRA language is not a Minority language in the State. Only Gujarati is stated as the language declared as the minority language in the State.
