प्रत्येक वर्ष गणतंत्र दिवस पर, राजपथ की परेड को देखने के बाद मैं अपने निवास पर भी झण्डावादन का छोटा कार्यक्रम आयोजित करता हूं। इसमें अधिकांश वे सुरक्षाकर्मी भाग लेते हैं जो वहां पर तैनात हैं: इस वर्ष मेरी सुपुत्री प्रतिभा ने उनके लिए एक घंटे के वृत चित्र ‘वंदेमातरम‘ का शो प्रदर्शित किया।

वर्ष 2011 भारत के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण वर्ष है ।

ठीक सौ वर्ष पूर्व 1911 में किंग जार्ज पंचम और क्वीन मेरी भारत आए तथा 12 दिसम्बर को दिल्ली में लगे दरबार में घोषणा की कि बंगाल का विभाजन समाप्त होता है और ब्रिटिश भारत की राजधानी कलकत्ता से दिल्ली स्थानांतरित की जाती है।

On Republic Day every year, after witnessing the Parade at the Rajpath I have been having a mini flag-hoisting ritual at my residence also. The participants are mainly the security personnel on duty at my place. This year my daughter Pratibha had for them a screening of her one hour documentary “Vande Mataram”.

To the media persons present I said, Republic Day is a day when every Indian should feel a sense of pride that he belongs to a great country that is respected the world over.

The year 2011 is a significant year for India.

Exactly one hundred years back, in 1911, King George V and Queen Mary, came to India and at a Darbar held in Delhi on December 12 announced that the Partition of Bengal was annulled, and that the capital of British India was being shifted from Calcutta to Delhi.

This year also marks the 150^th anniversary of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore’s birth.

The week just gone by saw the nation observing its Republic Day festivities. But it is a shame that in Click to Read More

सभी मूल्यांकनों की कसौटी पर कसे तो मनमोहन सिंह सरकार अपने साढ़े 6 वर्ष के कार्यकाल में सर्वाधिक गंभीर संकट से गुजर रही है। स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाला, कॉमनवेल्थ गेम्स घोटाला और मुंबई के रक्षा मंत्रालय भूमि सम्बन्धी घोटाले एक साथ इस रूप में सामने आए हैं जिससे आम आदमी को यह महसूस होने लगा है कि आज सरकार में अनेक मंत्री न केवल मक्कारी से धन बना रहे हैं अपितु वे देश को निर्लज्जता से लूट रहे हैं।

By all evaluations the Man Mohan Singh Government is passing through the worst crisis of its six and a half year tenure. The spectrum scam, the Commonwealth games scam and the Defence land scam of Mumbai have come all together in a manner as to make the common man feel that many in the government today are not just making money on the sly, but they are brazenly looting the country.

During India’s freedom struggle against British Rule, in the year 1930 two major events occurred. One was Mahatma Gandhi’s Dandi March; the other was the Chittagong Armoury raid.

Gandhiji commenced his Dandi March for the ‘Salt satyagraha’ on March 12 from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad. Along with 78 Ashramites he walked a distance of 390 kms. to reach Dandi on the West Coast where on April 6 morning he defied the law to make salt from the sea. The British Government arrested him thereafter.

For us in the BJP, this date on which Gandhiji performed his salt satyagraha and courted arrest is very significant because exactly Click to Read More
