Concern over revision of FYUGP regulations in Calicut varsity
A section of academics has expressed concern over the decision of the academic council of the University of Calicut to revise a clause in the regulations for the four-year undergraduate programmes (FYUGP) related to the selection of minor courses. According to sources, clause 7.2.13 of the regulations earlier said, 'Students in major with minor pathway shall choose all the courses from two minor groups offered by a discipline other than their major discipline. In some cases, students are allowed to take both the major and minor courses offered by the same teaching department, provided that the said minor courses belong to a discipline other than the major discipline.' However, it was revised by the academic council in its meeting on August 17, 2024, following a directive from the Higher Education department. The revised clause states: 'Students in major with minor pathway shall choose all the courses from two minor groups offered by a discipline other than their major discipline.' P. Sulfi, Senate member of the university, in a letter to Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, pointed out that this would affect the academic and career prospects of students, especially those pursuing BCom courses across affiliated colleges that offer limited programmes. He claimed that if the revised clause was implemented, Commerce students would be restricted from opting for minors that align with their academic interests and career aspirations. In SARBTM Government College, Koyilandy, Kozhikode, these students would be forced to choose Physics, Mathematics, or History. In Government Arts and Science College, Nilambur, Malappuram, the students would be left with only Malayalam or Geography. In KTM College of Advanced Studies, Karuvarakkundu, they have no choice but to opt for Arabic, being the only other discipline available. Mr. Sulfi said that there was also a possibility of disruption of the interdisciplinary commerce curriculum. Commerce education is inherently interdisciplinary, encompassing Business Law, Information Technology, Accounting, and Management. The revised clause undermines this integration and narrows academic exposure. He said that it could also have a negative impact on career readiness and employability. Minor courses in related domains such as Professional Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Tourism, and Business Analytics enhance their job readiness. Restricting the choices negatively affects students' competitiveness in the job market. Since many Commerce students pursue professional certifications such as CA, CMA, and CS, related minors support and align with these professional aspirations. Denial of these options hampers systematic preparation, he said. Official sources in the university, however, said that the clause was revised as it was not in line with the concept of the FYUGP and the National Education Policy. Mr. Sulfi, meanwhile, urged the Chancellor to allow the Board of Studies the autonomy to design minor courses with distinct academic identity. The boards should also be permitted to develop minor courses suitable for the students of parent departments in clearly distinct areas from the major stream.

Kamal Haasan thanks Tamil Nadu for supporting him amid Kannada language row; refuses to address the issue: ‘This is not the stage for it'
Amid the controversy over his comments on the Kannada language, which sparked calls to boycott his upcoming film Thug Life in Karnataka, actor-politician Kamal Haasan on Wednesday extended gratitude to the people of Tamil Nadu for their unwavering support. Although he refrained from addressing the row directly, Kamal stated that he would comment on the matter soon. 'I should thank the entire state of Tamil Nadu, which stood behind me. I completely understand the meaning of the phrase, 'Uyire, Urave, Tamizhe (my life and family are Tamil)' that I use during public addresses. And I stand by it,' he said during a press conference in Chennai, ahead of the release of Thug Life on Thursday. Mentioning that there are topics beyond Thug Life that need to be discussed, Kamal added, 'But this is not the stage for it. It is my duty to talk about those issues in a separate (press) meet, and I will organise it.' The movie's team also refrained from holding a Q&A session with reporters. Speaking on the occasion, Kamal Haasan heaped praise on Mani Ratnam, noting that working on Thug Life was, for him, what Nayakan was for his co-star Nassar. It may be noted here that Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan's Nayakan marked a major breakthrough in Nassar's career, earning him widespread acclaim. 'The young Mani I saw back then has transformed into a cinema gyani (scholar) now,' he said. Following Kamal's 'Kannada was born out of Tamil' remark recently, a controversy had erupted in Karnataka with many pro-Kannada groups taking offence to it. After Minister for Kannada and Culture, Shivaraj Tangadagi, wrote to the Karnataka Film Chambers of Commerce (KFCC), urging a ban on Kamal's films in the state until he issued a public apology, the actor publicly declared that he would not apologise, stating that there was nothing wrong with what he said. Following this, the KFCC officially announced a ban on the release of Thug Life. Meanwhile, he approached the Karnataka High Court seeking protection to ensure the smooth release of the movie. However, the court reprimanded him and urged him to express regret over the comment. In the most recent development, his production house, Raaj Kamal Films International, informed the HC on Tuesday that the actor would hold a dialogue with KFCC. Till then, it said, it would not press for the release of Thug Life in the state.

'My statement has been misunderstood': Kamal Haasan pleads to KFCC as Thug Life's release in Karnataka is stalled
Kamal Haasan faced massive backlash after he made a comment regarding Kannada language during the promotion of his upcoming film Thug Life. The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) called for a ban on the release of the film and asked him to apologise for his remark. As the actor refused to apologise, the film is not getting a release in Karnataka despite him going to court. Now, the actor has penned an open letter to the KFCC where he shared that his statement has been 'misunderstood and taken out of context.' (Also read: Kamal Haasan faces ire of Karnataka High Court for not apologising in Kannada row: 'Are you a historian or linguist') In the open letter to the KFCC, Kamal said, 'I acknowledge your letter dated 30/05/2025. Out of deep respect for the people of Karnataka, I offer the following with sincerity. It pains me that my statement at the Thug Life audio launch -- spoken out of genuine affection for the legendary Dr. Rajkumar's family, especially Shiva Rajkumar - has been misunderstood and taken out of context. My words were intended only to convey that we are all one and from the same family and not to diminish Kannada in any way. There is no dispute or debate on the rich legacy of the Kannada language.' He added, 'Like Tamil, Kannada has a proud literary and cultural tradition that I have long admired. Throughout my career, I have cherished the warmth and affection extended to me by the Kannada-speaking community, and I say this with a clear conscience and conviction: my love for the language is genuine, and I have great respect for the love that Kannadigas have for their mother tongue.' The actor then shared, "My bond with Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam -- and all languages of this land-- is abiding and heartfelt. I have always stood for the equal dignity of all Indian languages and remain opposed to the dominance of any one language over another, as such imbalance undermines the linguistic fabric of the Union of India." Kamal then added that he speaks the 'language of cinema' to say, 'I know and speak the language of Cinema. Cinema is a universal language that knows only love and bonding. My statement was also only to establish that bond and unity amongst all of us. It is this love and bond that my seniors taught me, which I wanted to share. It is out of this love and bond that Shivanna attended the audio launch event. I regret that Shivanna had to go through such embarrassment on account of this. But I'm sure our true love and respect for each other will always remain and get firmer now.' He continued, "Cinema must remain a bridge between people -- never a wall that divides them. This was the intent of my statement, and I have never been nor would ever want to give any room for public unrest and animosity. I sincerely hope my words are received in the spirit they were intended, and that my enduring affection for Karnataka, its people, and their language is recognised in its true light. I earnestly believe that this misunderstanding is temporary and an opportunity to reiterate our mutual love and respect." The letter concluded with the actor stating, 'I sincerely hope my words are received in the spirit they were intended, and that my enduring affection for Karnataka, its people, and their language is recognised in its true light. I earnestly believe that this misunderstanding is temporary and an opportunity to reiterate our mutual love and respect.' Kamal had earlier moved the HC seeking a direction to authorities, including the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce, to prevent any opposition to the release of Thug Life. On Tuesday, the Karnataka High Court said that Haasan might be a popular film star but that does not permit him to 'hurt public sentiments', granting the actor time till 2.30pm to 'make amends'. 'On what basis have you made the statement? Are you a historian, linguist? On what basis did you speak?' Justice Nagaprasanna said. Later in the day, Kamal said that Thug Life will not be releasing in Karnataka, 'for now'. Thug Life marks Kamal's first collaboration with Mani Ratnam in 37 years after Nayakan. It is set to release in theatres on June 5. (With PTI inputs)
