Rahim Uchil stands out as a prominent figure in the Beary community, having made significant contributions to Beary language, literature, and culture.
He served as the inaugural Editor of Beary Vaarthe, a monthly publication, under the leadership of publisher Basheer Baikampady, the former deputy mayor of the Mangalore Municipal Corporation.
Uchil’s impact extends beyond print media; he pioneered Beary news on television as its first newsreader in 1999. His role as a television journalist not only marked a milestone for the community but also laid the foundation for Beary news coverage on the small screen.
In addition to his journalistic endeavors, Uchil is celebrated as a two-time president of the Karnataka Beary Academy. During his tenure, he curated and published the “125 Beary Great Achievements” memory book, commemorating notable achievements within the Beary community.
His artistic talents are also noteworthy, as he is recognized as the first Beary drama scriptwriter and actor. His production “Mami Marmol” in cassette format garnered widespread acclaim, highlighting themes of family bonding and community values which then was performed on stage as first ever drama in the Beary language which was then adapted into a movie. Furthermore, he showcased his acting prowess on stage, notably in the play “Kurpat Katte.”
Moreover, Uchil’s commitment to preserving and promoting Beary heritage is evident through his chairmanship of the Beary Lipi Research Design and Implementation Committee, emphasizing his enduring dedication to the community’s linguistic and cultural heritage.
