MARGAO
The Global Konknni Forum and Mandd Sobhann (Mangaluru), along with Karnataka Konknni Lelekancho Sang, will have a round table conference in Mangaluru on November 3, to discuss possible ways to unite all Konkani scripts Associations of Romi, Kannada, Malayalam and Perso Arabic and to oppose the unjust policy of the one language, one script policy of the Sahitya Akademi.
Global Konknni Forum president Kennedy Afonso informed that the round table session in Mangaluru will further discuss the possibility of organising an All India Konkani Scripts Parishad in Goa, to impress upon the Sahitya Akademi, that the richness of
the Konkani language lies in diversity of its script, and that Sahitya Akademi must abolish its one language, one script policy, and to consider all scripts of Konkani language for literature awards.
“The conference will prove to the Sahitya Akademi that the All India Konkani Parishad (AIKP) is only an All India Devanagri Parishad to kill all scripts of Konkani. “The All India Konkani Scripts Parishad, organised by GKF and Mandd Sobhann, will have the support of all four other scripts of Konkani, and its mantra will be to promote the rich diversity of all the scripts of Konkani,” Kennedy added.
