Honorary advisor to Akhila Bharat Sharana Sahitya Parishat and writer Go.Ru. Channabasappa has said that for the Constitution and democracy to succeed, there is a dire need to bring into practice the essence of the Vachana literature.
Speaking at the inauguration of a two-day international symposium on Lord Basaveshwara and the golden jubilee celebration of Basaveshwara Study Chair at Karnatak University in Dharwad on Monday, he said that it is required to realise the aspirations of the Constitution which guarantees equality to all.
He said that in the 12th century itself, Basaveshwara laid the foundation for today’s Parliament through the Anubhava Mantapa and initiated a social revolution intending to establish an egalitarian society.
