In last five years Bharatiya Manyaprad has reached far and wide to almost all the major countries of the world and also to major institutes and individuals in India. To a young attempt this outreach implies strength in a competitive world. The journal still publishes articles by invitation. Bharatiya Manyaprad is now enlisted in University Grants Commission’s list of research journals and can be accessed at http:// www.bharatiyamanyaprad.com. After the factual deliberations, I move to some pragmatic dialogue. Should I begin with same question as being posed in Rigveda X. 121: dLeS nsok; gfo’kk fo/kseAA To which god shall we offer oblations? The doubt is intellectual! This refrain occurs nine times. The famous Nâsadîya sûkta, Zigveda, X. 129 brings forth many questions prior to creation. A dilemma which many have to face while struggling to bring vacuum to some design is perpetual. How do vacuums come to images, images to shapes, shapes to cultures, cultures to countries and countries to civilizations? How nothingness is the origin of life? How we all are left with the same question: uklnklhUuks lnklhRrnkuha uklhnztk uks O;ksek ijks ;r~A fdekojho% dqg dL; “keZUuEHl% fdeklhn~xgua xHkhje~AA Rigveda X.129.1II Then even nothingness was not, nor was existence, There no air then, nor the heavens beyond it. What covered it? Where was it? In who’s keeping? Was there then cosmic water, in depths iv unfathomed? Shastras try to answer, but intellect seeks further. Revisiting and rereading lead to research. Same question is approached in many ways and we still end confessing : he, who surveys it all from highest heaven,he knows - or maybe even he does not know b;a fol`f’V;Zr vkcHkwo ;fn ok n/ks ;fn ok uA ;ks vL;k/;{k% ijesa O;kseURlks vM+~x osn ;fn ok u osn Rigveda X. 129. 7|| Whence all creation had its origin, he, whether he fashioned it or whether he did not. How do we fashion our thoughts is the problem. A spark of this flame, it was believed, is to be found in the conversation of Yâjñavalkya with his philosophical wife Maitreyî; and the beggar Raikva, who sitting under his cart scraped off the scab of leprosy, had likewise become the mouthpiece of the supernatural. According to the Vedas, the Saptarishis were favored and protected by the Gods. Amongst these seven sages were two known Ayurvedic founders; Bharadwaj and Kashyapa. According to the Charaka Samhita, these are the same rishis of the Vedas who went to the Himalayan Mountains to attain the knowledge of Ayurveda. The Atharva Veda does mention a council of rishis assembled with Indra as noted in the following verse: “Let me receive the brilliance and the wisdom of those seated here together; and among these people assembled here may me the most illustrious, Indra!” -Atharva Veda (7.12.3) Today I repeat this for each one who designs the vacuum into shape and let each one becomes illustrious because shastra gives the Mahavâkyas: rRoefl] vga czgekfLe] izKkua czge] [kfYona czgeAA Sanjeev Kumar Sharma Invited Articles Bharatiya Manyaprad ISSN 2321-8444 Volume 5, No.1, 2017, pp. 9-13 Indian Ness A.K. Srivastava India, having a beautiful Indus valley, had been the most ancient civilization with great thinkers, great culture, spiritual knowledge, high moral values and innovations. India had the credit of having the most ancient University, named; Takshila, perhaps the first in the entire world. Respect for women was such that this country had thousands of Devis whom even males worshiped. Nobody ever heard of any rape, as there was the concept of mother, daughter and sister. The cultural heritage, knowledge, spirituality, innovation, moral values and meditation were India’s Indian Ness. In 18th and 19th century, when the ancient Indian knowledge of Vedas first reached western Universities, the intellectual elite there were deeply impressed and wanted more of it. Prominent personalities like Voltaire, Mark Twain, Schopenhauer, the Schlegel brothers, Paul Daussen and many others spoke in glowing terms about India’s heritage. In early 20th century, scientists like Heisenberg, Schroeslinger, Pauli, Oppenheimer and Einstein, in their research work, were inspired by Vedanta. India was a country of innovations. Indians had thorough knowledge of philosophy and of all other sciences. Great Rishis were there. Their inventions have been recognized by the entire world. In 10 CHIDANAND SARASWATI ISSN 2321-8444 many fields of science they were the pioneers. I mention here few of them. Rishi Aryabhatt, a master astronomer and mathematician, gave Zero to the world without which there would not have been mathematics. Albert Einstein fully recognized it. At the age of 23, Rishi Aryabhatt had written a book on Astronomy. He found Earth as round, rotating on air axis, orbiting the Sun and in suspension in the air. Rishi Bhaskaracharya gave Algebra and he was the first to discover gravitational force of Earth, 500 years before Newton found so. Acharya Charak invented Ayurveda which is now becoming very popular. Acharya Sushrit was pioneer in micro-surgery. Acharya Patanjali gave Yoga which is now growing in the entire world in one or the other form. We now have the World Yoga Day. Acharya Bharadwaj gave Aviation science. Acharya Kapil is the father of Cosmology. Space knowledge to Indian Rishis was perfect. If one reads Hanuman Chalisa there is mention of exact distance between Sun and Earth. It says Yug Sahastra Yojan Par Bhanu. That means, to reach Sun from Earth one will have to cover yug x sahastra x yojan. Yug is 12000 miles, Sahastra is 1000 and Yojan is 8 miles. That multiplication comes to 7,60,00000 miles equal to 15,36,000000 km. NASA has not disputed it. Even Lord Macaulay of Britain, who widely travelled India before framing laws for it, had, in his address to British Parliament on 2.2.1835, recognized the great Indian culture, great moral values and caliber of Indians, but he had said that if India was to be conquered, its spiritual and cultural heritage had to be broken, its old educational system had to be replaced and their self esteem had to be demolished. It is a matter of fact that India started losing its Indian Ness from the time of invasion of the Moguls. Then the British rule did the greater damage. We started thinking that all that was foreign and English was good and greater than our own which gradually affected our self esteem. Foreign education and foreign goods became very attractive. Being a ‘foreign return’ used to be a matter of pride. To belittle or to impress upon the natives, the foreign returns started using British slang in their conversations. With western influence, money chase became our dharma and we forgot karma theory. We ISSN 2321-8444 INDIAN NESS 11 started losing our moral values even in day-to-day dealings and the families started breaking. Our cultural degradation has gone down so much that now there is no concept of mother-daughter-sister, no courtesy while driving, no commitment in marriages, no responsibility towards parents, no respect for elders, no refinement in language, no dedication in employment, no prudence in spending, no patience and no tolerance.

According to the history of the Fig (Ficus:Carica) recorded in the Ency­ r:lopoodiaBritannica,1 it was probably one of the earliest objects of cultivation. , There are frequent allusions to it in the Hebrew Scriptures. According to ; Herodotus it may have been unknown to the Persians in the days of the First Cyrus. Pliny mentions varieties of figs ani::11the plant played an im­ ..portant part in Latin myths. This history of the fig testifies to the high value • set upon the fruit by' the nations of antiquity but it says nothing about its · early existence in India or its importation to the Indian provinces known to the Greeks and Romans.

    Title Daily Current Affairs Capsule 19th DecemberTitle 2020 Pakistan approves chemical castration of sex offenders Pakistan has approved the chemical castration of rapists as part of sweeping new legislation sparked by outcry over the gang rape of a mother on a motorway. New laws approved by President Arif Alvi will see rape cases expedited through the courts and create the country’s first national sex offenders register. Pakistan is a deeply conservative and patriarchal nation where victims of sexual abuse often are too afraid to speak out, or where criminal complaints are frequently not investigated seriously. In September, protests erupted after a mother was raped on the side of the road in front of her children when her car broke down near Lahore. Goa Liberation Day 2020: 19 December Goa Liberation Day is observed on December 19 every year in India and it marks the day Indian armed forces freed Goa in 1961 following 450 years of Portuguese rule. The Portuguese colonised several parts of India in 1510 but by the end of the 19th-century Portuguese colonies in India were limited to Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra, Nagar Haveli and Anjediva Island. The Goa liberation movement, which sought to end Portuguese colonial rule in Goa, started off with small scale revolts. The 36-hour military operation, conducted from December 18, 1961, was code-named ‘Operation Vijay’ meaning ‘Operation Victory,’ and involved attacks by the Indian Navy, Indian Air Force and Indian Army.

  • Goa Liberation Day
    Goa Liberation Day drishtiias.com/printpdf/goa-liberation-day-1 Why in News The Prime Minister of India greeted the people of Goa on Goa Liberation Day, which falls on 19th December every year. Key Points The day marks the occasion when the Indian armed forces freed Goa in 1961 from 450 years of Portuguese rule. The Portuguese colonised several parts of India in 1510 but by the end of the 19th-century Portuguese colonies in India were limited to Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra, Nagar Haveli and Anjediva Island (a part of Goa). As India gained independence on 15th August, 1947, it requested the Portuguese to cede their territories but they refused. The Goa liberation movement started off with small scale revolts, but reached its peak between 1940 to 1960. In 1961, after the failure of diplomatic efforts with Portuguese, the Indian Government launched Operation Vijay and annexed Daman and Diu and Goa with the Indian mainland on 19th December. On 30th May 1987, the territory was split and Goa was formed. Daman and Diu remained a Union Territory. Hence, 30th May is celebrated as the Statehood Day of Goa. Goa 1/3 2/3 It is located on the southwestern coast of India within the region known as the Konkan, and geographically separated from the Deccan highlands by the Western Ghats. Capital: Panji.

    ISSN 2603-6096 East India Company Power Projection: Kanhoji Angré and the Anglo-Portuguese Expedition of 1721 (La proyección de la compañía de la India Oriental: Kanhoji Angré y la expedición anglo- portuguesa de 1721) Edward Teggin Trinity College Dublin Recibido: 03/12/2020; Aceptado: 03/03/2021; Abstract This article examines the causes and consequences of the 1721 Anglo-Portuguese expedition through the prism of regional geopolitics, power projection, and the balancing of power. The existing narrative of the expedition, presently very unclear and full of inconsistencies, shall be revised through the use of the private papers of Sir Robert Cowan, governor of Bombay (1729-34). The existing accounts have until now not adequately incorporated the key role played by Cowan. This article is, as such, an important revision in the wider history of European geopolitics on the west coast of India in the early eighteenth century. Keywords Colonial Bombay; Colonial Goa; Kanhoji Angré; Marathas; Power Projection Resumen Este artículo examina las causas y consecuencias de la expedición anglo-portuguesa de 1721 a través del prisma de la geopolítica regional, la proyección de poder y el equilibrio de fuerzas. La narración existente de la expedición, actualmente muy poco clara y llena de incoherencias ha sido revisada a partir de los documentos privados de Sir Robert Cowan, Edward Teggin gobernador de Bombay (1729-34). Hasta ahora, los relatos existentes no han incorporado adecuadamente el papel clave desempeñado por Cowan. Este artículo constituye, por tanto, una importante revisión en la historia más amplia de la geopolítica europea en la costa occidental de la India a principios del siglo XVIII.

  • Operation Vijay-Liberation of Goa
    Operation Vijay-Liberation of Goa December 26, 2020 In news Goa Liberation Day is observed on December 19 every year in India Background The Portuguese colonized several parts of India in 1510 but by the end of the 19th-century Portuguese colonies in India were limited to Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra, Nagar Haveli and Anjediva Island. On August 15, 1947, when India gained its Independence, Goa was still under the Portuguese rule. The Portuguese refused to give up their hold over Goa and other Indian territories. Following a myriad of unsuccessful negotiations and diplomatic efforts with the Portuguese, the former prime minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, decided that military intervention was the only option. The 36-hour military operation, conducted from December 18, 1961, was code-named ‘Operation Vijay’ meaning ‘Operation Victory,’ and involved attacks by the Indian Navy, Indian Air Force, and Indian Army. Ram Manohar Lohia’s effort In June 1946, Ram Manohar Lohia, an Indian Socialist leader, entered Goa on a visit to his friend, Julião Menezes, a nationalist leader, who had founded the Gomantak Praja Mandal in Bombay and edited the weekly newspaper Gomantak. Ram Manohar Lohia advocated the use of non-violent Gandhian techniques to oppose the government. On 18 June 1946, the Portuguese government disrupted a protest against the suspension of civil liberties in Panajiorganised by Lohia, Cunha and others including Purushottam Kakodkar and Laxmikant Bhembre in defiance of a ban on public gatherings, and arrested them His efforts were followed by diplomatic efforts by Indian government which failed and led to armed action against the Portuguese rule About Operation Vijay: The liberation of Goa Operation Vijay marks the day Indian armed forces(with armed action)freed Goa, Daman & Diu in 1961 following 450 years of Portuguese rule.
