Through mentioning developments of several government initiatives, the government led by PM Modi has moved significantly from ‘policy paralyses’ to a ‘reform, perform and transform’ approach. Some of the key highlights of the speech includes:- The Constitution of India given to us by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar has spoken about justice for all. The recently concluded Parliament session was one devoted to 1 social justice. The Parliament session witnessed the passage of the bill to create an OBC Commission.

  • 'Mann Ki Baat 2.0' on 30.08.2020
    9/2/2020 Press Information Bureau Prime Minister's Office English rendering of PM’s address in the 15th Episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat 2.0’ on 30.08.2020 Posted On: 30 AUG 2020 11:33AM by PIB Delhi My dear countrymen, Namaskar. Generally, this period is full of festivals; fairs are held at various places; it’s the time for religious ceremonies too. During these times of Corona crises, on the one hand people are full of exaltation and enthusiasm too; and yet in a way there’s also a discipline that touches our heart. Broadly speaking in a way, there is a feeling of responsibility amongst citizens. People are getting along with their day to day tasks, while taking care of themselves and others as well. At every event being organised in the country, the kind of patience and simplicity being witnessed this time is unprecedented. Even Ganeshotsav is being celebrated online at certain places; at most places eco-friendly Ganesh idols have been installed. Friends, if we observe very minutely, one thing will certainly draw our attention- our festivals and the environment. There has always been a deep connect between the two. On the one hand, our festivals implicitly convey the message of co- existence with the environment and nature; on the other, many festivals are celebrated precisely for protecting nature. For example, in West Champaran district of Bihar, people belonging to Thaaru tribal community have been observing a sixty-hour lockdown for centuries…..in their own words- ‘Saath ghante ke Barna’. The Thaaru community has adopted BARNA as a tradition for protection of nature; that too for centuries.

  • Urdu Literature in Pakistan: a Site for Alternative Visions and Dissent
    christina oesterheld Urdu Literature in Pakistan: A Site for Alternative Visions and Dissent Iqbal’s Idea of a Muslim Homeland—Vision and Reality To a great extent Pakistan owes its existence to the vision of one of the greatest Urdu poets, !All"ma Mu#ammad Iqb"l (1877–1938). Not only had Iqb"l expressed the idea of a separate homeland for South Asian Muslims, he had also formulated his vision of the ideal Muslim state and the ideal Muslim. These ideals are at the core of his poetry in Urdu and Persian. Iqb"l didn’t live to see the creation of the independent state of Pakistan and was thus unable to exert any influence on what became of his vision. Nevertheless, he has been celebrated as Pakistan’s national poet and as the spiritual father of the nation ever since the adoption of the Pakistan Resolution by the All-India Muslim League in 1940. In Fate# Mu#ammad Malik’s words: “In Pakistan Iqb"l is universally quoted, day in and day out from the highest to the lowest. His poetry is recited from the cradle to the corridors of power, from the elementary school to the parliament house” (1999a, 90). Anybody dealing with Pakistan is sooner or later exposed to this official version of Iqb"l. Presumably much less known is the fact that soon afterwards, Pakistani writers and poets started to question the le- gitimacy of this appropriation of Iqb"l by representatives of the Pakistani state, by educational institutions and the official media. Several Urdu po- ets wrote parodies of his famous poems, not to parody Iqb"l’s poetry as such but to highlight the wide gulf between words and deeds, between the proclaimed ideals and Pakistani reality.

Doordarshan (DD) com and All India Radio (AIR) which is a part of the broadcasting media in India in the recent time are trying to regain its lost sheen through more engaging programmers. One such effort is the programme „Mann Ki Baat‟, an initiative by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The programme aims at delivering the voice of Prime Minister to the public and also obtains the concerns of the masses. At a time when private television and radio stations have accomplished the mission of luring large audience in India, a government initiated programme – Mann Ki Baath has made a difference in repossessing the lost charm of public broadcasting media in India. This paper intends to explore the case study of „Mann Ki Baath‟ programme as a prolific initiative in generating revenue to public broadcasting media and also accenting the ideas of the government.
