In onore allo spirito di gruppo, il ritmo di camminata è dato dalle persone più "lente" e per questo il gruppo si fermerà sempre, quando necessario, per attendere eventuali "ritardatari"; ciò non esenta però i più “pigri” a fare del loro meglio per non distaccarsi troppo dal gruppo e rallentare eccessivamente le attività. In India si distinguono tre stagioni principali: estate, inverno e la stagione dei monsoni. Clima I mesi estivi (aprile-giugno) sono caldi in gran parte dell'India. È la stagione più adatta per visitare le stazioni climatiche di Shimla, Mussoorie, Nainital, Kufri e della valle del Kashmir, Darjeeling, Shillong, Ootacamund, Kodaikanal, Pachmarhi e il Monte Abu. I mesi invernali (novembre-marzo) sono piacevoli in tutta l'India, con belle giornate di sole. Nelle pianure settentrionali e ai piedi dell'Himalaya la stagione è più rigida, mentre le regioni a est, a ovest e a sud sono gradevolmente fresche. I monsoni arrivano all´inizio di giugno nell'India sud-occidentale e, gradualmente, arrivano in tutto il Paese ad eccezione delle zone sud-orientali. In queste zone si ha la più alta piovosità tra metà ottobre e la fine di dicembre. L'arrivo dei monsoni causerà un marcato aumento delle precipitazioni ma anche un abbassamento delle temperature; nel Rajasthan è anche presente un’escursione termica giorno/notte. 4 ore e mezza in più rispetto all’Italia (3 ore e mezza durante l’ora legale italiana) Fuso Orario Tensione: 230 V Elettricità Frequenza: 50 Hz Le prese elettriche utilizzate sono rotonde di tipo C, D, M.

Delhi ci accoglierà con il suo incredibile fascino fatto di una commistione unica di antico e moderno, di secoli di storia e sviluppo moderno accelerato: è sempre interessante riscoprire l’armonia con cui questi elementi apparentemente contrastanti si combinano in un singolare marasma-ordinato. 3° giorno Visita guidata di Delhi. Trasferimento in treno Delhi – Jodhpur 21 agosto Prima colazione. In mattinata faremo una lunga visita guidata della Vecchia Delhi. Scopriremo il Jama Masjid – la più grande moschea dell’India –, il Red Fort (chiuso il lunedì) sulle rive del fiume Yamuna e il Raj Ghat, monumento alla memoria del Mahatma Gandhi. Lungo la strada saremo colpiti dalle frenetiche attività della Chadni Chowk – antico viale imperiale dei regnanti Moghul –, dai continui stimoli che sopraggiungono dai mercati di spezie come il Khari Baoli bazaar, dal traffico di risciò (parte dell’uscita sarà su questi mezzi tradizionali), biciclette e vacche sacre, dai richiami dei venditori di fiori e frutta secca o dalle contrattazioni sui prezzi della seta. Un’esperienza sicuramente intensa per chiunque raggiunga l’India da una capitale europea. Nel pomeriggio invece conosceremo, grazie alla puntuale preparazione delle nostre guide, la cosiddetta New Delhi: il minareto del XII sec. Qutab, il mausoleo dell’imperatore Humayun (anticipatore dello stile Moghul), l’India Gate, la residenza del presidente indiano – già palazzo del vicerè –, la Casa del Parlamento ed i palazzi del segretariato, ottimo esempio dello stile vittoriano e del XX sec. In serata quindi ci trasferiremo alla stazione dei treni per raggiungere in nottata Jodhpur (partenza 20.45 – arrivo 07.30). Pernottamento in Wagon Lit sul Mandore Express. 4° giorno Visita guidata di Jodhpur 22 agosto Prima colazione. Raggiunta Jodhpur ci sposteremo in hotel per check-in e colazione. Avremo quindi l’intera giornata per conoscere uno dei luoghi di maggiore interesse dell’India. Situata nel cuore dell’arida distesa del Rajasthan, questa città fu fondata nel 1459 dal Capo Rajput Rao Jodha e dotata di mura difensive di 10 km interrotte da otto porte. Si rimane facilmente incantati dalle sue cento torri e dai numerosi appostamenti fortificati sparsi tra le vie della cittadina. Su tutto prevale l’ocra dorato della sabbia che confonde questa incredibile opera umana con il potente paesaggio che la circonda. Nel pomeriggio saliremo alla cima del Forte Mehrangarh (37 metri di arenaria), dal quale noteremo il blu intenso (simbolo di una casta elevata) delle abitazioni dei brahmini. Procederemo verso il Jaswant Thada, cenotafio del 1899 per Maharajah Jaswant Singh II. Al termine del tour faremo una breve passeggiata nell’atmosfera vibrante del bazaar di Jodhpur. 5° giorno Bishnoi Village Safari. Trasferimento privato Jodhpur – Udaipur. Visita guidata di 23 agosto Ranakpur lungo il tragitto Prima colazione. Partiremo alla scoperta dell’incredibile variabilità dell’India, delle mille anime che danno vita a questo Paese. Bishnoi Village Safari è un’organizzazione avviata con lo scopo di valorizzare la ricchezza culturale della regione e prende il proprio nome dal gruppo induista Bishnoi, importante comunità del Rajasthan con il culto della natura. Faremo un safari in jeep nei loro territori cercando di conoscere da vicino questo intenso angolo dell’India.

He was born in Burdwan district in 1899 and died in Dhaka in 1976. He is the national poet of Bangladesh, and also honoured in India. Ahilyanagari Express 6325/ 6326 Indore – Thiruvananthapuram Central (SR Thiruvananthapuram division) Rajmata Ahilyadevi Holkar (1725-1795, ruled 1767-1795) also known as the Philosopher Queen was a Holkar dynasty Queen of the Malwa kingdom. She took over reigns of the kingdom after the death of her husband and father-in-law. She moved the capital to Maheshwar south of Indore on the Narmada River. She also built temples and Dharamshalas (free lodging)at sacred sites outside her kingdom, at prominent religious places like Dwarka, Kashi Vishwanath in Varanasi, Ujjain, Nasik, Parli Vaijnath and Somnath. The city of Indore is sometimes called Ahilyanagari in her memory.

  • LOK SABHA ___ SYNOPSIS of DEBATES (Proceedings Other Than Questions & Answers) ___Thursday, March 12, 2020 / Phalguna 22
    LOK SABHA ___ SYNOPSIS OF DEBATES (Proceedings other than Questions & Answers) ______ Thursday, March 12, 2020 / Phalguna 22, 1941 (Saka) ______ THE MAJOR PORT AUTHORITIES BILL, 2020 THE MINISTER OF STATE OF THE MINISTRY OF SHIPPING AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS(SHRI MANSUKH L. MANDAVIYA): moved for leave to introduce a Bill to provide for regulation, operation and planning of Major Ports in India and to vest the administration, control and management of such ports upon the Boards of Major Port Authorities and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. DR. SHASHI THAROOR opposing the motion for introduction of the Bill said: This Bill is not ready for introduction. I have four reasons to say that it should be reintroduced after revision. First is out of 13 member board, seven will be from private persons. So the majority will be of the private persons. The qualification and experiences of the members have not been mentioned in the Bill. Second objection is over the completely unequal representation of the private interest vis - a-vis the employees' interest. The third objection is that the Bill provides a restriction period of only one year for the Board members to seek re-employment which will promote bias in the discharge of the functions. The fourth one is that the Bill fails to provide a clear demarcation between port related use and non port related use. Ports are a national property, therefore, I ask the Government to study the Bill and rewrite it. PROF. SOUGATA RAY: While opposing the introduction of the Major Port Authorities Bill, 2020 I would say that this Government seems set and determined to pave the way for privatization of all government assets.
