BoS chairman opposes removal of Vedan's song
The expert committee, appointed by CU vice-chancellor P Raveendran, had suggested removing the song. However, Malayalam UG Board of Studies (BoS) chairman MS Ajith opposed the move, saying it violated academic rules.
CU authorities had said they would send the expert panel recommendation to BoS, which has the authority to change the syllabus. But Ajith said it was wrong to rely on an outside expert's opinion on syllabus matters.
"BoS had approved the syllabus after detailed discussions. We did not plan to remove the song," he added.
Ajith said that if the syllabus must be changed, then it has to be decided by the board or higher academic bodies like the academic council.
MM Basheer had submitted a report to Raveendran saying that comparing the musical aspects of Vedan's song with Michael Jackson's 'They Don't Care About Us' would be too demanding for students.

The VC had asked the panel to examine the inclusion of the song in the syllabus.
The report submitted by former head of Malayalam department MM Basheer to Raveendran said the comparative study of the musical features of Vedan's and Jackson's songs should be removed and replaced with a more suitable topic. The song was part of the Introduction to Comparative Literature course, under the module Puthu Pravanathakal (new trends).
BJP-affiliated member AK Anuraj had objected to including Vedan's song in the syllabus and filed a complaint with governor Rajendra Arlekar. The governor sought a report from the VC, who then instructed Basheer to examine the issue.

'Trigger' ending explained: From addressing dark aspects of society to the dual perspectives
Trigger Warning: This article discusses gun violence, its impact, and related social issues, which some readers may find disturbing. 'Trigger,' the recently released K-Drama, has been the talk of the town, keeping every possible fan awake in the night. The story revolves around illegal guns being massively delivered to civilians, leading to chaos and, certainly, triggering violence. What is 'Trigger' about? Directed by Kwon Oh-seung, the series gave a glimpse of what would happen if the regulations were disregarded and the laws were casually broken. Led by Kim Young-Kwang and Kim Nam-Gil, where one is adamant about destroying the country that failed to protect him, and the other is trying to be on the right side of the road. On the darker side is Moon Baek (Kim Young-Kwang), who has been around the international black market and is willing to unleash the devil in South Korea, knowing that he will be dying of cancer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Victoria Principal Is Almost 75, See Her Now Reportingly Undo Meanwhile, Lee Do (Kim Nam Gil), who wants to protect the people despite having a quite traumatic childhood, has served in the military and condemns all the weapon culture in society. While he tries to stop everything without using a gun, the time eventually makes him pick one to fight the demons. How does the series end? At the end, Moon Baek organises rallies and sets off the ticking bomb by conducting a 'free guns' incentive, in addition to throwing smoke bombs. Lee, who has been the protector, decides not to arrest Moon and save the children from the chaotic crossfire. Adding the spice of a perfectly dramatic climax, Baek disappears in the smoke after stating that all he did was hand humans the guns; it was entirely their decision to pull the trigger. However, Moon Baek is shot and is hospitalised due to a critical condition, while Lee Do survives and adopts the boy he saved, according to The Indian Express. While there has been no official announcement about the next season, there is certainly room for one.
