JUST L I KE THAT
Class Magazine of 2009

WHERE THE MIND IS WITHOUT FEAR
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow
domestic walls;
— Rabindranath Tagore

EDITORS SPEAK
It was our dream since we joined this college to see the first copy of our
college magazine. We made some efforts to collect articles and tried doing our
work for bringing out a college magazine. But the work did not get any support
and somehow the dream did not materialize.
Our class strength is less, but the quality of our class is high. We have the
potential to do many things. But there was no opportunity to put out our talents.
Dr. Abdul Kalam in his book Ignited Minds tells about the powerful seeds which
do not get fertile land to sprout. The position of few of our classmates was similar.
We did not have the forum to put out our talents. Within the limited
opportunity, we tried to do our best. We do not have money to print this
magazine, but we surely know the print technology and also know how to make
use of the latest technology. Hence, we are out with this E-Magazine.

There were legal issues involved while bringing out this magazine. We know
that people want to create some or the other problems. Hence we have tried our
best to minimize these things by using our own photos. Wherever photos taken by
others is used, we have mentioned the sources. Most of the articles written are by
our team and copied from internet under various liberal license terms.
The reason we kept the name as JUST LIKE THAT is because, the word
“just” means “justice” and this word just is directly related to Law. And we
thought of making this magazine just like that without any reason. This magazine
will have only one issue.
We wish to clarify one more thing. This is a magazine done by the students
only. The views expressed here are of the editors only. The college / institution
does not necessarily subscribe to them. There is no work of the college in this
magazine.
This magazine is for private circulation among the students of Class 2009
and selected members of the faculty of our college. This magazine is encrypted and
then released on internet. Cracking the encryption and reading the file be the
general public is prohibited. The editors have taken all the care to see that the
magazine is strictly circulated among the students of class 2009. If in case, this
magazine is circulated to general public; the editors are not responsible for any
consequences arising out of it.

OUR UNIVERSITY
Crawford Hall – the place mostly remembered for the strikes we did!
The University of Mysore became the first University outside the domain of
the English administration in India, the sixth University in India as a whole, and
the first ever University in Karnataka. During the institution of the University in
1916, four faculties were constituted viz., Arts, Science, Engineering and
Technology, and Medicine. Seperate Boards of Studies and Boards of Examiners
were constituted in 28 subjects. The University was also administering 12 other
educational institutions.
20
The first Act of the University came in the year 1933 (University of Mysore
Act 1933). The first report of the curriculum followed by different departments is
available in the University's Calendar 1947-48. The University offered a two-year
intermediate course, three year B.A.(Hons), B.Sc.,(Hons) Degree courses and
M.A., M.Sc., courses. There were also the faculties of Medicine and Engineering.
The University also offered Diplomas in vocational subjects. The University
Extension Lectures and Publication Bureau were notable features of the
University.
22
OUR CITY - MYSOORU
Mysore is the second largest city in the state of Karnataka, India. It is the
headquarters of the Mysore district and the Mysore division and lies about
146 km (91 mi) southwest of Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka. The name
Mysore is an anglicised version of Mahishūru, which means the abode of Mahisha.
Mahisha stands for Mahishasura, a demon from the Hindu mythology. The city is
spread across an area of 128.42 km2 (50 sq mi) and is situated at the base of the
Chamundi Hills.
Mysore is famous for the festivities that take place during the Dasara festival
when the city receives a large number of tourists. Mysore also lends its name to the
Mysore style of painting, the sweet dish Mysore Pak, Mysore Peta (traditional silk
turban) and the garment called the Mysore silk saree.

LAW EDUCATION IN INDIA
This decision was taken somewhere in 1985 and thereafter the first law
University in India was set up in Bangalore which was named as the National Law
School of India University (popularly 'NLS'). These law universities were meant
to offer a multi-disciplinary and integrated approach to legal education. It was
therefore for the first time that a law degree other than LL.B. or B.L. was granted
in India. NLS offered a five years law course upon the successful completion of
which an integrated degree with the title of "B.A.,LL.B. (Honours)" would be
granted. Thereafter other law universities were set up, all offering five years
integrated law degree with different nomenclature. The next in line was NALSAR
24
university of law set up in 1998. The National Law University, Jodhpur offered
for the first time in 2001 the integrated law degree of "B.B.A, LL.B. (Honours)"
which was preceded by the West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences
offering the "B.Sc., LL.B. (Honours)" degree. The Prestigious M.S. University has
also started Baroda School of Legal Studies since 2005, which also offers 5 years
integrated law course. It has a uniqueness of having computer applications and
yoga & stress management as subjects. Another achievement in this field was the
setting up of National Law University,Delhi at New Delhi, the first national law
school of the capital.
However despite these specialized law universities, the traditional three year
degree continues to be offered in India by other institutions and are equally
recognized as eligible qualifications for practicing law in India. Another essential
difference that remains is that while the eligibility qualification for the three year
law degree is that the applicant must already be a holder of a Bachelor's degree, for
being eligible for the five years integrated law degree, the applicant must have
successfully completed Class XII from a recognized Boards of Education in India.
Both the holders of the three year degree and of the five year integrated degree are
eligible for enrollment with the Bar Council of India upon the fulfillment of
eligibility conditions and upon enrollment, may appear before any court in India.
The setting up of Karnataka State Law University has heralded a new era in
the law education. Shri J S Patil has been appointed as the Vice Chancellor of the
University. The Karnataka State Law University is sui generis (only one of its
kind). The university is the only Law University in the Globe! From now onwards,
all the law colleges of Karnataka will be functioning under the guidance of
Karnataka State Law University.

VISHWA MAANAVA SANDESHA
By Shri Kuvempu
The child which by birth was the universal man us fettered by us with such
constraints as country, language, religion, caste race and colour. To free it from all
these limitations and transform it into “the enlightened soul”, that is to say the
universal man, -- this should become the first and foremost function of our
education, culture, civilization and what not. All children of the world should
become “unhoused” beings, if the world should survive , should continue to live,
and advance.
Ideas which are applicable to all mankind do not relate to a single cast or
creed, a single section or country. Since they are of value for all time, these are
basic human values which tend towards uniting all men and enabling them tolive
in harmony. They give no room to groupism, which, after all, is the sordid game of
politics. While giving full scope for individual freedom, this view aims at collective
uplift. On this view it is possible to have as many religious as there are individuals;
and it is possible for all the individuals to contribute towards the development of
the whole community. It is this “vision” which is proclaimed by the following
poem. “The Unhoused Consciousness.”
2. Our attempt should be not to reform the caste system but to wipe it out
completely. That is to say, distinctions like Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas
54
and Sudras, or the Depressed classes, or Shia and Sunni, or Catholicas and
Ptotestant, or Sikh and Nirankari, should be eradicated altogether.
3. The caste systems that exist in all countries and all religions should be totally
denounced and completely destroyed.
6. Religion should not become a matter for creating schisms. No one should
belong to any particular religion; on the contrary, everyone should belong to
“his own” religion – the religion that he has personally discovered. This will
mean that there will be as many religions as there are individuals in the
world; no one will seek to embrace another’s religion, from his own group
and create factions.
7. No single book should become the “only one” and the “most scared”
scripture. Everyone should, on the contrary study and assimilate all the
books he can and should freely decide what to accept, and build for himself
his own ‘philosophy’.

Infinity's Yoga has no end… Endless is the quest you apprehend…
You are that infinity… become that boundless…
Ascend, ascend, ascend, ascend!
O my spirit… set roots nowhere… O my spirit
Grow beyond the myriad forms… Go beyond the countless names…
From a heart overfull, inspiration bursts forth…
O my spirit… set roots nowhere… O my spirit
Winnow the chaff of a hundred creeds… Stretch beyond the stifling
philosophies…
Rise, immense and endless as the cosmos…
O my spirit… set roots nowhere… O my spirit
Rest nowhere on the unending road… Build never a binding nest…
Touch never the boundary… O remain infinite and boundless…
O my spirit… set roots nowhere… O my spirit
Infinity's Yoga has no end… Endless is the quest you apprehend…
You are that infinity… become that boundless…
Ascend, ascend, ascend, ascend!
O my spirit… set roots nowhere… O my spirit
ABOUT KUVEMPU
Kuvempu was more than a writer, and the way he lived his life was in itself a
great message. He was against casteism, meaningless practices and rituals.
Kuvempu's writings also reflect his resentment against the caste system according
to which the shudras were unfit to attain knowledge. Kuvempu (from the
Vokkaliga community) also gives a different perspective to the characters in the
Ramayana unlike the portrayal of characters by Valmiki in his Sri Ramayana
Darshanam which won him Jnanpith Award. This work is the complete
Ramayana in Kannada. It underscores his vision of sarvodaya (Upliftment of One
& All). Rama of his Ramayana personifies this when he tests himself along with
his wife Seeta, by jumping into the fire.

EPILOGUE
We thank all of them who directly and indirectly helped in bringing out this
magazine. People may feel – “what’s the use of this magazine? No one will ever
read it. This work is waste.”
For all those pessimistic human beings, our answer is ready here:
“హుెూౕ ా
ె?
ాూౕ ా
ె?
ఏాదరు ా ెూౕెూౕ
ె!”
- హంస#ెౕఖ
This poem written by Shri Hamsalekha (a great poet and music director)
means: “why are we born? Why do we die? To achieve something and leave” . We
wanted something as a memory before leaving the college, and hence this E
Magazine. Some of our friends used to ask why we do not have a Magazine in our
college. Some people said that it is a very difficult task to bring out a magazine.
Now, by bringing out this magazine, we are showing that this work was not
impossible.
