Today the Education department after
a detailed discussion with authorities in Ramanagar, including the
District Collector (DC), Ramanagar Police, Child Rights Protection
group, etc has announced that Nithyananda Gurukul is illegal, and legal
action will be initiated against the Gurukul. Criminal case will be file
against Nithyananda, as he has been running the school for last 8
years, without any permission from State of Central govt, the school is
not following any recognized syllabus like CBSE or state board, and the
children coming out of this school will not have any recognition as they
cannot take the board exams of any board! There are serious concerns
about the future of 99 children who are in that ashram. It is a crime
that Children's names have been changed to nithya or ananda something.
Nithyananda has been given 7 days time within which Nithyananda must
close the gurukul and have the children removed from his ashram. Also,
the Ramanagar authorities have 7 days time to make enquiries into the
details of each child, their real identity, their original address,
their parents details, etc. The parents of the children will be called
during this time and counseled on the danger to their children's future
by being in this school, and they will be advised to remove their
children and admit them elsewhere.
Samaya, as a true champion of the people, raises very pertinent questions regarding this issue, such as these:
When Nithyananda is facing very serious allegations (such as rape, etc), can he be allowed to keep such young children, especially girls in his care & custody, until he is proven innocent through a trial in a court?
If the parents of the gurukul kids tell the authorities that they have put their children in the gurukul knowing fully well about the riskts and they want their kids to continue, then can the authorities take any action?
Even if Nithyananda decides to close the gurukul within 7 days adn send the kids away, will the govt. then become silent again?
It is correctly explained that even if the parents have willingly put their children in Gurukul, NOBODY has the right to run a school for 8 years without proper license or permission from the govt. Nithyananda has already committed violations by running a school without permission, and he is answerable for this offence. So even if he closes the gurukul now, he will still have to face the law.
Kudos to the education department for taking the right action promptly, as this is an issue of very grave concern, since it involves protecting young innocent children, from being brainwashed into child soldiers for Nithyananda under the disguise of Hinduism, gurukul, etc!!
