The French assumed control in 1715, developing the island into an important naval base overseeing Indian Ocean trade, and establishing a plantation economy of sugar cane. The British captured the island in 1810, during the Napoleonic Wars. Mauritius remained a strategically important British naval base, and later an air station, playing an important role during World War II for anti- submarine and convoy operations, as well as the collection of signals intelligence. Independence from the UK was attained in 1968. A stable democracy with regular free elections and a positive human rights record, the country has attracted considerable foreign investment and has one of Africa's highest per capita incomes. National Flag:- The flag of Mauritius consists of red, blue, yellow and green bands which stands for: Red: Red represents the struggle for freedom and independence. Blue: Blue represents the Indian Ocean, in the middle of which Mauritius is situated. Yellow: Yellow represents the new light of independence Design: Four horizontal bands of red, blue, yell... Adopted: March 12, 1968 Emblem of Mauritius:- Coat of Arms: The coat of arms of Mauritius consists of a Dodo Bird and Sambur Deer supporting sugar cane and a shield divided into four sections. The coat of arms of Mauritius are stipulated in the "Mauritius Laws 1990 Vol.2 SCHEDULE (Section 2)". The arms were designed by the Mayor of Johannesburg in 1906, Johann Van Der Puf. In the lower left quarter is a key and on the right-hand side is a white star, which are referred to in the Latin motto "Stella Clavisque Maris Indici" meaning "Star and Key of the Indian Ocean". 4 REPORT : BUYER SELLER MEET IN MAURITIUS, KENYA & TANZANIA: 2019-20 FACT SHEET- MAURITIUS Animal: Raphus cucullatus Tree: ebony National Anthem:- "Motherland" is the national anthem of Mauritius. The music was composed by Philippe Gentil and the lyrics were written by Jean-Georges Prosper. The anthem is short and briefly describes the luscious landscape of Mauritius. It also mentions the qualities of its people: peace, justice, and liberty. The national anthem is composed in English and was first played during the Independence Day of 12 March 1968. The Labour Party ruled Mauritius from the time of independence in 1968 to 1982. The opposing Mauritian Militant Movement won the 1982 election. The party decided to establish Mauritian Creole as the national language and wanted to sing the national anthem in Creole during the 15th Independence Day on 15 March 1983. The move was sternly opposed by the alliance partners; the party lost power in 1983. Country Name:- Mauritius, officially the Republic of Mauritius, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean about 2,000 kilometres off the southeast coast of the African continent. Mauritius is a fascinating, world-in-one-island slice of paradise. Its very name of conjures up images of tropical luxury and stupendous extravagance. Form of government: Parliamentary republic Languages spoken: English, French, Mauritian Creole, French-based Creole Capital: Port Louis, the cosmopolitan capital city of Mauritius was founded in 1735 by the French governor and pioneer Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais. Located on the Northwest Coast, Port Louis is the administrative and business capital of the island. Currency: MUR or the Mauritius Rupee Time difference between India and Mauritius:- India is 1 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Mauritius Independence:- After general elections in 1967, Mauritius obtained its independence on the 12th march 1968 within the commonwealth with Seewoosagur Ramgoolam as prime minister. The island achieved the status of Republic 24 years later on 12 March 1992. 5 REPORT : BUYER SELLER MEET IN MAURITIUS, KENYA & TANZANIA: 2019-20 BILATERAL RELATIONS BETWEEN INDIA AND MAURITIUS Diplomatic relations between India and Mauritius were established in 1948. Mauritius maintained contacts with India through successive Dutch, French and British occupation. From 1820s, Indian workers started coming to Mauritius to work on sugar plantations. From 1834, when slavery was abolished by the British Parliament, large numbers of Indian workers began to be brought to Mauritius as indentured labourers. November 2, 1834 marks the day when the ship ‘Atlas’ docked in Mauritius carrying thefirst batch of Indian indentured labourers. This day is now observed in Mauritius as ‘Aapravasi Day’. In all, about half a million Indian indentured labourers are estimated tohave been brought into Mauritius between 1834 and the early decades of the 20th century, out of whom about two-thirds settled permanently in Mauritius. At present, around 68% of the Mauritian population is of Indian descent. A brief stopover by Mahatma Gandhi en route to India from South Africa (October 29 to November 15, 1901), while awaiting departure of his ship SS Nowshera, is still etched in the consciousness of Mauritius. Barrister Manillal Doctor, who came to Mauritius in 1907 on the suggestion of Gandhiji, helped the Mauritian Indian community to organise themselves and laid the foundation for their struggle for political and social rights.

  • Teaching and Propagation of Hindi in Canada
    Teaching and Propagation of Hindi with success in Canada प्रो. रत्नाकर नराले दी प्रशिक्षण के ित-प्रशतित यि की नयी प्रणालीﴂह 1. SHORT HISTORY In Canada, until about last 40 years ago, one would hardly find any Hindi speaking people, and even if you find a Hindi speaking person, he or she would feel shy and hesitate to speak Hindi in a public place. This was the case in Toronto, which has mild winter and is the biggest, most populated, most developing and most cosmopolitan city in Canada, followed by Vancouver. The situation in rest of Canada was even poorer. Then on, in about next ten years, first major development was foundation of the Hindi Pracharini Sabha by Prof. Harishankar Adesh and Shiam Tripathi group, with Hindi Chetna as their tri-monthly mini magazine. In addition, numerous individual poetic groups sprung all across Canada, main hub being Toronto. The main activity and interest of these organizations was to gather for a Poetic Meet (kavi sammelan), in which Poets would read their beautiful creations to other poets and the gathering. The poems may then get published in magazines, space permitting. Then Prof. Narale came up with a philosophy, which was one time published with much appreciation in Sahitya Amrit, New Delhi. His assertion was that the poetic groups are a wonderful activity, but the question is “where is the propagation of Hindi, if a poet reads his poem in front of four other poets or Hindi lovers, and at the end have tea and Samosa.

  • Hindi Roundtable Discussion
    Hindi Roundtable Discussion In collaboration with the World Hindi Secretariat, Mauritius, The University of Fiji organized a Hindi Roundtable Discussion on 14 October 2020 on the theme "Progressive Future and Hindi." Speaking at the debate, the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Shaista Shameem, said that language is an integral part of the culture. “Language and culture are indispensably related. We mustn’t be casual about our language because the language gives us an insight into the culture. Language and culture are about emotion and not necessarily about politics,” she said. Mrs. Manisha Ramrakha, the Chairperson of the Roundtable discussion, spoke about a true incident taken from “Kisaan Sangh Ka Itihaas” (1931), of Pundit Ayodhya Prasad Sharma’s life and sacrifice to promote Hindi and cultural values. Pundit Sharma sacrificed his teaching job but did not compromise the quality of Hindi and cultural values and ethics that he wanted to teach the students. She said the theme of the Roundtable was inspired by this incident to encourage the current generation to plan strategies for a progressive future of Hindi. Mr. Naresh Chand, Lecturer, Fiji National University, questioned on the dropouts in students studying Hindi Language. He said that we are not against the English Language. He impressed that we should not get so engrossed in English Language that we forget our Mother Tongue. Ms. Subashni Kumar, Lecturer, Fiji National University, said that the younger generation believed that speaking English was more impressive than Hindi, perhaps, because of the widespread presence of English education and job opportunities. “If we want our younger generation to use the Hindi language we need to make it more marketable and simple.

The non-profit organizations, Women's Economic and Social Think Tank and the International Institute for Non-Aligned Studies (IINS) invited and sponsored, this visit to Kashmir. The decision to allow the MEPs to visit J&K marked a significant turnaround in the government's policy after it faced considerable criticism in the EU and in the US over the Article 370 move. The Indian government presented the EU lawmakers' visit as an attempt to let the outside world see the ground situation in Kashmir, which Delhi has labeled as normal. The visit also gave a better understanding of the cultural and religious diversity of the region of Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh; apart from giving them a clear view of the development and governance priorities of the region. The European Union (EU) Embassy in Delhi has clarified that the MEPs were in India in their "personal capacity", and not as part of an official delegation.
