Time had come to protect social justice with the support of all people who should be ready for a big fight, said Tamil Nadu Sports and Youth Welfare Minister Udayanidhi Stalin here on Monday.
Paying homage at Tyagi Immanuel Sekaran’s samadhi on the occasion of his 66th death anniversary, Mr. Udayanidhi told media persons that stalwarts like Tyagi Immanuel Sekaran, who had fought for the downtrodden, should not be forgotten. His contributions to Quit India Movement and his sacrifice in prisons were remarkable, he added.
The younger generation should imbibe the ideologies of leaders like Tyagi Immanuel Sekaran. His family members and the people from this region had made a representation to Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to construct a ‘Manimandapam’ in memory of the late leader, following which the government announced building of the memorial near the samadhi with the life size statue of Tyagi Immanuel Sekaran at a cost of ₹3 crore.
Ministers Raja Kannappan, K.R. Periakaruppan, P. Moorthy, Kayalvizhi, MP Nawaz Kani, MLAs Muthuramalingam and Murugesan and former MP Bhavani Rajendran paid tributes at the samadhi.
BJP leader K. Annamalai and other leaders paid tributes at the samadhi. Mr. Annamalai told reporters that the party’s request to build a Manimandapam had been ceded to by the government. Thanking the Chief Minister for the announcement, Mr. Annamalai recalled the rich contributions made by the late leader for society and hoped that the Manimandapam would be ready by next October when the centenary of the late leader would be celebrated.
AIADMK leaders, led by former Ministers R.B. Udayakumar, Manikandan, Rajalakshmi and former MP Anwar Raja, placed a wreath on the samadhi. Leaders from the Congress, led by MLA Selvaperunthagai, paid rich tributes to Tyagi Immanuel Sekaran.
Puthiya Tamilagam Katchi leader K. Krishnasamy and Tamilaga Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam leader John Pandian also paid homage at the samadhi.
“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
