[Oppiliappan] The recent controversial treatment of the First Tamil Naadu State 
wide prize winner : Kumari KaavyaSrI:Dear Fair Minded AasthikAs with equal 
reverence for Senthamizh (Agasthya BhAshai) and Deva BhAshaiof Sanskrit :We had 
a lot of exchanges on this topic recently about the deliberate and mischeivous 
act of the TN Govt , which came into political power  and began to settle old 
scores rightaway . This "US versusTHEM " attitude is deplorable for a state 
that wants to enter the modernage of Electronics and Engineering .By an 
imperial and unfair edict , the new government  has reversed the facts on field 
about Kumari Kaavyaa of the Oriental School , West  Maambalam , who had earned 
the accolade of being the Topper  ( Score of 1186 out of 1200Marks) . The 
Government committed to setttle scores with the opposition and lifted the 
second ranker , Sri Bharath by declaring him to be the first prizewinner 
because he chose Tamil Medium . His score is 1180/1200 . I am told that Sri 
Bharath is not very happy about this undeserved & unearned recognition .Kumari 
Kaavya seems to be gracious about this mistreatment by the local government , 
which has years of well honed policy of abusing the rights of citizens for 
amassing political power  and distributing largesse to its inner circle .The 
concerned Members of our groups have made number of suggestions ranging from 
legal actions ( petitioning the Supreme court ) to writing as a group to the 
President of India to right the wrong . They alsosuggested an active 
involvement of the MatAdhipathis thru protests .Sri Krishna Moorthy has 
volunteered to raise some funds to recognize Kumaari Kaavya to undo somewhat 
the wrong things done .After consultations in India , a plan of action has been 
developed for your consideration recognizing the fact that (1) Tamil Naadu 
State's political philosophy is  predictable and they will not budge fromtheir 
avowed position of being unfair (2) The Central Government is weak and will not 
do anything against a state , whose support they need (3) Education is the area 
reserved for the States and the states  can do whatever they want as long as 
their power base is in tact  (4) The Mataadhipathisare already in a constrained 
 situation and they find themselves invery sensitive areas to operate with 
freedom . Their main worries areto serve their disciples and to provide 
spiritual guidance .They certainly do not relish the prospect of entering the 
dirty world of politicsand fight with corrupt politicians .Against this 
background , there is an actio  plan . The highlights of this plan is  to 
recognize KumAri Kaavya by the interested citizens in India and overseas with a 
purse to recognize her extraordinary talent and achievement and encourage her 
to go forward to put the talent to use thru the pursuit of higher education . 
Additional suggestions are : (1) We will take the high road and honor the 
second topper , Sri Bharat at the same function to demonsratethat we have no 
partiality of one or the other languages , since Tamil and Sanskrit are like 
the two eyes for our culture (2) we will alsorecognize the appropriate teachers 
of Kumari Kaavyaa and Sri Bahrath as well , if they wish to be honored for 
TRAININGsuch outstanding students .  The estimated expenses for the awards to 
be conducted at the Oriental School , West Mambalam are20,000 Rs(~500$) .The 
amount can be made Tax free by sending the award funds through Sri Malolan 
Educational Trust ( Registered 80GHolder ) . We can also just honor Kumari 
Kaavyaa and give herthe total proceeds . There are thus these two options . Sri 
Krishna Moorthyof Chennai can coordinate the assembly of funds from Indiaand I 
will take care of the funds donated by Overseas lovers ofSanskrit and our 
ubhaya VedAntham culture that celebrates AzhwAr's AruLiccheyalhaLs and 
Vedams/Upanishads/Aagamams.It will be my pleasure to make all the other 
relevant arrangements including the award ceremony in cooperation with my 
counterpartsin India .    May I request you to review these recommendations and 
send me private notes about your wish to join in this initativeto honor Kumari 
Kaavya for her achievements ? My e-mail is :pvaradhan@xxxxxxxxx Dr.V.Sadagopan
