Difference of opinions part of democracy


Mangalore Today News Network

Oct 16, 2017: Speaking at the annual Prajavani Deepavali contest at SDM College on October 14, Saturday, Vaidehi well known writer stressed the need for discussion and healthy argument in democracy. Of late, discussions are leading towards unhealthy arguments.  Democracy can survive only with difference of opinions – it can’t survive with single opinion.

She said language is losing its flavour and misunderstanding is on the rise. Citing an example, she said that most of the serials in the present times are using modern language. She said language, culture and emotions are taking a backstage and little concern is expressed towards relations and nature.

Questioning the need for language that gives rise to tension in society, Vaidehi said language should calm the ‘fire’ down and not ignite the ‘fire’.

Incidentally, Vaidehi too was a winner of Prajavani special edition contest decades ago.  Vaidehi’s husband Srinivas Murthy and Prajavani associate editor M Nagaraj were present
