TUG OF WAR FOR THE
PRESIDENTSHIP OF KONKANNI SAHITYA AKADEMI
The present
term of the Advisory Board of the Karnataka Konkanni Sahitya
Akademi is getting over at the end of September. By
then, the State Government has to appoint a new President for
the Akademi.
It is understood that the
present President Mr. Basti Vaman Shenoy has no intention to
continue in the position and has suggested the name of Mnsgr.
Alexander D'Souza, the ex-editor of Raknno, for the
prestigious post. Another effort has been made to push
forward the name of famous Kannada litterateur Mr. Na. D'Souza,
by some groups who think that Fr. Alexander D'Souza though a
good personality, will find it difficult to deal with the
government. The third person who is in the run for the
coveted post is Mr. Paul Moras, the ex-president of Konkanni
Bhasha Mandal, Karnataka. He through his political
contacts is trying his best to make it to the top post.
Anyone, who gets nominated by
the Government, will be the 4th president of the Akademi.
Earlier Mr. V.J.P. Saldanha, Mr. B.V. Baliga and Mr. Basti
Vaman Shenoy (2 terms) have served as the presidents of the
Akademi since its inception.
