Mangalore Nov 25: The minute a child is born, everyone starts comparing it to God.  However, awareness develops within a child about its religion and other social systems as the child grows up. This is only because of wrong teachings imparted by parents. That’s why it is imperative for parents, especially mothers to teach the child about love, have hope in life, how to serve and how to break free of all religious barriers and other social customs, elaborated  Justice S R Nayak, president of State Human Rights Commission (SHRC).

Justice Nayak was speaking about ‘Rights’, after inaugurating the Jagriti Samavesha on human rights and felicitation function organized at the Town Hall by the ‘Movement for Social Life and Human Rights’, here on Saturday, Nov. 24 evening. In the course of his speech he opined that violation of human rights will not end, unless and until discrimination stops. If anybody has a real concern about the human rights, let him teach his children the above said values, he challenged.

“Human rights come by birth irrespective of one’s caste, language and region. No eligibility is needed for it and no one can grab it, because it is not given by anyone”, he asserted. At the same function Abraham Varghese (principal of Nelyadi St George composite pre-university college), M Madhava Salettur (social service), Hemanta Chowta (chairman of Agastya college of management studies) and B Ravindra Rai (president of Karnataka computer academy) were also felicitated.

District Sessions’ chief judge V C Hatthi, St Aloysius group of institutions rector Fr Francis Serrao, entrepreneurs Raghunath Shet, Madhav Mave and politician Mahiyuddin Bava were the chief guests of the occasion. Kollady Balakrishna Rai welcomed the gathering. Santhosh Shetty presented the report.
