Amaravati: It was declared by Prof. Nikose, the Principal of Zilha Parishad School and Junior College that nobody would worship Sree Saraswati Devi in school or college. Miss Bhavana Pokale, one of the students studying in 11th Standard was intimidated by the Principal as she tried to make students aware against Principal’s order. The devout Hindus from the area learnt about it and they forced Prof. Nikose to render apology. (Congratulations to the student Miss Bhavana for trying to enlighten students against the order and devout Hindus for promptly uniting against Prof. Nikose – Editor).
Miss Bhavana Pokale explained the significance of worshipping Sree Saraswati Devi to other students. Prof. Nikose scolded her for the same. Her brother, Shri. Ganesh Pokale came to know about it. He collected 20 youth and formed ‘Rashtriya Yuva Shakti Dal’. One of the students of 10th standard, in her speech in the farewell program, told about social activities undertaken by Savitribai Phule and said that instead of worshipping Sree Saraswati Devi, we should worship Savitribai Phule. (Lack of ‘Dharma-shikshan’ is the reason that human being is compared with divine power – Editor). Prof. Nikose and Kohale supported that student and declared that henceforth in all the programs of the school, picture of Savitribai Phule will be worshipped. (Such heretic principal will, no doubt, make his students as heretics as him. There is now need for ‘Dharma-kranti’ to save students from such teachers – Editor).
Miss Bhavana Pokale studying in 11th standard was also attending the program. She narrated the incident to other local youth. In the farewell program arranged for 12th standard students, Miss Pokale brought a picture of Sree Saraswati Devi and talked about ‘Supremacy of Hindu Dharma’. She explained that it is our culture and tradition to worship Sree Saraswati Devi and non-worship would be like treachery against our culture amounting to treachery against our nation. In this program, all students resolved to perform ‘puja’ of Sree Saraswati Devi in every program. Shri. Nikose did not like this and he called her in his cabin after the program and admonished her. Shri. Pokale came to know about the incident through his sister and formed ‘Rashtriya Yuva Shakti Dal’ with 20 of his associates. These members along with members of RSS and Vidyarthi Sena went to the Junior college with local journalists and asked Shri. Nikose about his firing Miss Pokale for her enlightening other students about Sree Saraswati Devi. Shri. Nikose argued that the Govt. has issued a circular in which direction is given regarding worshipping ‘Rashtra-purush’ and therefore, worship of deities has been discontinued. (What a lier this principal is! – Editor).
The members went through the circular and brought to the notice of the Principal that although it says that ‘Rashtra-purush’ should be worshipped; nowhere it was mentioned that deities should not be worshipped. The members also warned him that students would boycott the college if he opposes worship of Sree Saraswati Devi. Prof. Nikose then rendered his apology and promised that every program would start with paying obeisance to Sree Saraswati Devi.
