A hundred thousand men and women, fired with the zeal of holiness, fortified with eternal faith in the Lord, and nerved to Lion's courage by their sympathy for the poor and the fallen and the downtrodden, will go over the length and breadth of the land, preaching the gospel of salvation, the gospel of help, the gospel of social raising up-the gospel of equality.
- Swami Vivekananda.
…Happiness and misery are the obverse and reverse of the same coin; he who takes happiness, must take misery also.

A few memorable moments from the 9th Dr. Minati Hazarika Memorial Annual Lecture, featuring guest speaker Anuradha Sharma Pujari, on the subject “সমসাময়িক অসমীয়া সাহিত্য আৰু ইয়াৰ পৰিপ্ৰেক্ষিত”,
Nothing is done in a day. Religion cannot be swallowed in the form of a pill. It requires hard and constant practice. The mind can be conquered only by slow and steady practice.

He spoke on Dharma, family, community and shared responsibilities, emphasising their relevance to social harmony, economics and governance.

Bharat's ancient education system was centered around the Teacher, the Acharayas, allowing our civilization to endure despite numerous invasions.

I strongly oppose the charges against Prof. Suryanarayana Doolla of IIT Bombay under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
My background: I belong to the Devendra Kula Vellalar (DKV) community, classified as SC. I grew up in deep rural poverty and witnessed the suffering of my people first-hand. I was educated thanks to broad-minded people from many communities.
I studied Electronics at NIT Tiruchirappalli, worked at C-DOT Bengaluru, and then at Intel in India and the US, where I rose to Engineering Director and Senior Silicon Architect, responsible for high-speed interconnects vital to modern CPUs and GPUs. I hold multiple patents in this field.
I share this to make clear that I know what it means to come from an SC community and rise through hard work and commitment.
Our DKV community has taken a principled, voluntary stand not to file SC/ST cases against anyone. We have seen how cases under this Act are weaponised, and how that deepens enmity on the ground.
On that basis, I oppose the misuse of this Act in this case. The case against Prof. Doolla must be withdrawn. This matters for the future of SC/ST students and for our nation.
Jai Hind 🙏

“Sangha Anubhavshala”
Mentioned above is the name of the exhibition of international standard inaugurated yesterday by the revered Sarsanghchalak Ji in Indore.
It is not merely an exhibition but, as Drishti, the centre’s lead curator, described it, an "experience centre." One can clearly perceive the essence of it.
An opportunity has been created here to truly experience the journey of the Sangh over the past century.
The true experience of a hundred years of the Sangh's journey has been created through various artefacts here. Just as one can smell petrichor, one can sense the heartwarming spirit of the Sangh's activities, deeply rooted in the soil here. One can taste the essence of struggles defined by utter sacrifice and ample endurance. The gentle touch of unconditional love and the comforting shade of care that the Sangh nurtures in us can be felt here. We see much beyond those who smouldered through their lives for a long time, the lives of countless brave souls who aspired to radiate light, even if only for a fleeting moment. The experience of listening to the resonant chants, extending from primal sounds that echo beyond the horizons and eagerly seek to break through the cloudy celestial skies, is abundant here.
Thus, this centre evolves into a profound experience. The space may not be enough to encompass the entire history of a hundred years; even so, the creators have, as revered Mohan Ji wrote on the first page of the visitors' diary, managed to capture an entire ocean within the hollow of a palm.
My congratulations to them, and my deepest, most humble salutations to those who toiled tirelessly to dedicate this indescribable beauty to the world.
Azaadi sirf charkhe se nahi mili thi🙏🏻 suni h kabhi yeh kahaniya?
It’s because India’s first Education Minister, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, promoted a Marxist-oriented approach to history, with historians such as Romila Thapar, Satish Chandra, and R. S. Sharma playing a major role in writing history textbooks for NCERT.
Not the right way to look at lack of some reforms that you may specifically want and blame it on political caution.
India has so many reforms to be carried out and so much to be done that it is natural the govt would take its time. Everything can't be done in 5 years.
In this man's govt, I have seen some of the most boldest reforms done. And in a democracy like India, it is not easy to simply bulldoze through reforms without thinking about political stability.
One mistake, the reforming and market oriented govt will go, and India will end up in the hands of commies and radical left who will take the country decades backward.
Just by asking why we need manufacturing, why we need capitalists, and ending merit in the private sector and the military.
So, even if you think someone can come and do all reforms in 5 years, the next 10 will be regression of all those reforms.
What you are truly looking for and wanting is a reform oriented, progressive dictatorship. But such a dictatorship can be easily brought down in a diverse country like India. It is not a good idea.
So a one-party always wins and runs the country democracy like Singapore is what some are truly looking for. Modi is ensuring just that. And in a country like India, it is probably this way it is done the best.
