By Our Staff ReporterCorporation workers have

evicted hawkers squatting inthe area below the UsmanRoad flyover and also prohib-ited parking of vehicles, mostlyby showrooms. Earlier work-ers of showrooms used to cor-don off spaces using poles forparking of vehicles of propri-etors and customers. Trafficpolicemen have been deployedto prevent encroachmentagain.

The Madras High Court haddirected Chennai Corporationand police authorities on Sept.7, 2010 to ensure that par-king areas in the city are avail-

Area below flyover cleared of hawkers, vehicles

The First Bench, comprisingChief Justice M. Yusuf Eqbaland Justice T. S. Sivagnanam,passing orders on a public in-terest writ petition filed by K.Krishnamani against unau-thorized occupation on roadmargins by business houses,banks and hospitals, said, “Wefail to understand on what ba-sis the private respondentsearmark paid public parkingarea in a manner that sug-gests that they have exclusive

rights over them”.In his petition, Krishnamani

contended that private shopsput up ropes and barricadedroad margins to park their ownvehicles or that of their cus-tomers.

The general public was de-prived of places to park ve-hicles unless they were cus-tomers of a particular estab-lishment.

In its counter, the Corpora-tion admitted that it did permitthe Tamil Nadu Ex- Service-men Corporation Limited tocollect parking fees by allow-ing cars to be parked in front ofsome shops and offices.

A lump sum of Rs.450 percar per month was collected.Police submitted that when aparticular area was declared apaid parking area, traffic po-lice could not take action.

The Bench took note of pho-tographs showing businessestablishments putting upplacards or a rope fence in suchspaces, besides a notice stat-ing that the area was exclu-sively reserved for them.

A significant film made at the AVM Studios, as a partner-ship venture with S. K. Pictures, was ‘Kula Deivam’. It wasa memorable movie with a socially relevant message aboutthe efficacy of the Hindu joint family system and remarriageof young Hindu widows.

The lot of the Hindu widow has been one of untold misery,anguish and denial of comforts and ostracisation even by herown family. She could not wear jewels or flowers and had towear only white and no colours. Besides, she was consideredas an ill omen. In some orthodox communities she had to shedher hair and shave her head regularly. In some families shewas taken to task if she laughed aloud! Indeed the IndianGovernment passed a law as early as 1856 named ‘TheHindu Widow Remarriage Act’ but even that law did not helpmatters. The prudish and tradition-bound society felt thatthe act was an unwanted intrusion by the alien British rulersinto the tradition, orthodoxy and time-honoured customs ofHinduism!

A blatant case of male oppression, it continued for centu-ries and, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, somesocial reformers took up cudgels against it and fought for theright of remarriage of widows. The most famous of them allwere Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar and KandukuriVeeresalingam Panthulu, who faced much opposition andeven danger to limbs and lives. A strong religious group tookPanthulu to court on this issue! He created history byperforming a widow remarriage in Purasawalkam, Madras,against severe opposition and blazing a new trail in socialreform in South India.

Yet it took a long time for such marriages to be acceptedby Hindu Society. Not surprisingly, the issue was the ful-crum of plays and movies in many languages during the earlydecades of the 20th century. Many memorable movies weremade about this social problem. Such movies include Y. V.Rao’s ‘Malli Pelli’ (1939, Telugu), B. N. Reddi’s ‘Sumangali’(1940, Telugu), Kishore Sahu’s ‘Sindoor’ (1947, Hindi) and M.R. Vittal’s ‘Hannaley Chiguridhaaga’ (1968, Kannada).

‘Kula Deivam’ was based on a Bengali story by the notedBengali writer Prabhavathi Devi Saraswathi. The Tamilfilm script was written by ‘Murasoli’ Maran.

During the 1950-60s, there was a distinct trend in TamilCinema of seeking story material from Bengal, the land ofthe Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, Sarat ChandraChatterjee and such literary giants. Many Bengali stories,novels, plays and films were adapted for Tamil Cinema.Indeed, in that period, there were even ‘Bengali story- bro-kers!’ in Chennai.

‘Kula Deivam’ highlighted the joint family system, theneed for family unity and widow remarriage. An old man onhis deathbed makes his eldest son (S. V. Sahasranamam)promise to look after his younger brothers (S. S. Rajendran,M. K. Mustafa, V. R. Rajagopal, and the only younger sister(Mynavathi), a child widow, who was not aware of her status.The brother ekes out a living as a travelling cloth salesmanand soon opens a shop of his own, and prosperity smiles onthe family. He gets his brothers married and the daughters-in-law begin to create problems destroying the family’s joyand peace. His wife (Pandari Bai) is a great source of strengthfor him and how both fight adversity and bring sunshine intothe family once more and also get the widowed sister re-married forms the rest of the story

A socially significant film, ‘Kula Deivam’ met with greatsuccess. Directed by Krishnan-Panju, its music was by R.Sudarsanam, with lyrics by Subramania Bharathiyar,Bharathidasan, Pattukottai Kalyanasundaram, K. P.Kamatchi, and Athmanathan.

V. R. Rajagopal, a stage comedian with large expressiveeyes and excellent sense of timing of dialogue delivery, madea splash and came to be known as ‘Kula Deivam’ Rajagopal.For some years he was a top comedian but later sadly he sliddown the grease pole and then faded away.

The film won a Certificate of Merit awarded by the Gov-ernment of India. In 1957 Meiyappan remade it in Hindi as‘Bhabhi’ which, too, was a phenomenal success.

NO HOLDS BARREDBy M. A. SADANAND

One lives and learns. Ever since the Brit-ish quit our great country, and various speci-mens of humanity tried to govern them-selves and, in the bargain, trod on the cornsof thousands of similar aspirants wearinghobnailed boots, India has built up a libraryof the science of pre- and post election war-fare, swearing by the United Nation’s Char-ter that ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR.

If one can dramatise it with a 2-km walkas Yeddiyurappa did on Bangalore RaceCourse Road with the shouting crew of hislegislature loyalists who cried themselveshoarse sloganing for 2 kms to wake up Gov-ernor Bharadwaj from his siesta, our streetdemocracy is stronger than the tons of ironore mined and exported from Bellary with-out troubling the Government, as discov-ered by handsome Santhosh Hegde.

The Indian criminal laws and punishmentshave not reached even the base camp ofperfection that our great neighbour Chinahas attained, because even a minor eco-nomic offender there is lined up against atree and shot, the executioner tearfully ex-pressing remorse for hurting the bark of thetree.

I happened to be in Bengaluru whenHegde’s 25,000-page dissertation on theimpoverishment of the State’s natural re-sources spoiled the beauty of the mugs of thethieving brigade fingered by Hegde. Theywanted to show the people how clean theyare by letting the white-safari-suit-wearingYeddy lead the walkathon to the Governor’spalace.

Democracy is good for some people. It isfor these ‘some people’ that good old Gandhilost his upper molars in South Africa andpints of blood in Indian jails..

Gandhi, in innocence arrayed, never imag-ined that the free Indian would steal thenatural resources of the country! Did I hearhim at the ‘dead club’ hailing Godse andsaying, “Nathuram, thank you for killingme. Look at the gang down there. Hey Ram!”
