Sushant Singh Rajput . Real Hero

Sushant Singh Rajput (21 January 1986 – 14 June 2020) was an Indian actor who is best known for his work in Hindi cinema. Rajput started his career with television serials. His debut show was Star Plus‘s romantic drama Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil (2008), followed by a starring role in Zee TV‘s soap opera Pavitra Ristha  (2009–2011).

Rajput made his film debut in the buddy drama Kai Po Che! (2013). He then starred in the romantic comedy Shuddh Desi Romance(2013) and as the titular detective in the action thriller Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!(2015). His highest-grossing releases came with a supporting role in the satire PK (2014), followed by the titular role in the sports biopic M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016). For his performance in the latter, he received his first nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor.Rajput went on to star in the commercially successful films Kedarnath(2018) and Chhichhore (2019).His last film, Dil Bechara (2020), was released posthumously on Hotstar.

NITI Aayog, the policy think-tank of the Indian government, signed him to promote the Women Entrepreneurship Platform (WEP).Apart from acting and running a technological startup,Rajput was actively involved in helping young students. He was also the co-founder of an AI and technology company and a charity based company for social work.

Sushant Singh Rajput was born in Patna in the state of Bihar to Krishna Kumar Singh and Usha Singh. He was the youngest of five siblings and had the nickname of Gulshan. One of his four sisters Mitu Singh would become a state-level cricket player.He attended the St. Karen’s High School in Patna. His family moved to Delhi following his mother’s death in 2002 where Rajput completed his schooling in Kulachi Hansraj Model School.

According to Rajput, he had ranked seventh in the DCE Entrance Exam in 2003, and secured admission in the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) class in Delhi College of Engineering.He was also a National Olympiad Winner in Physics. In all, he cleared as many as 11 engineering entrance exams, including that for the Indian School of Mines.After he started participating in theatre and dance, he rarely had time for studies, resulting in several backlogs which ultimately made him leave DCE. He completed only three years of the four-year course before dropping out to pursue an acting career.

While a student at Delhi Technological University, Rajput enrolled in Shiamak Davar‘s dance classes. It was only later that the idea of making a career in acting came to him, as some of his fellow students in the dance classes happened to be interested in acting and was attending Barry John‘s drama classes. Influenced by them, Rajput also joined the acting classes. Here, he found his passion for acting: “I found the experience liberating. I realised that I could communicate with the audience. I knew I wanted to do this forever.”

Death

On 14 June 2020, Rajput, aged 34, was found dead, hanging from the ceiling fan in his home in Bandra, Mumbai. He had reportedly been suffering from  depression So Mumbai Police commenced an investigation, stating that the death was being treated as a suicide. The postmortem report stated that the cause of death was “asphyxia due to hanging,”and called it a “clear case of suicide.” The autopsy doctors placed time of death at 10 to 12 hours before postmortem examination on 14 June at 11:30 p.m.—meaning between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. (Indian Standard Time). No foul play was found. The viscera report likewise ruled out foul play.On 25 July, Rajput’s family lodged a first information report with police in Patna, where his father lives, accusing Rhea Chakraborty and five others of abetment of suicide.

On 19 August 2020, the Supreme Court of India allowed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the Indian national government’s top investigating agency, to take control of the investigation and ordered the CBI to look into any future cases registered in relation to Rajput’s death. On 21 August, Sudhir Gupta, leader of a forensic medical team tasked by CBI for assistance, told the Press Trust of India, “We will look into the possibility of murder. However, all probable angles will be thoroughly examined.”Gupta told Asian News International, “We will also examine other trace evidence preserved at the time of autopsy to differentiate between hanging and murder allegations.”

And We hope for justice for Sushant Singh rajput..

We miss you Hero

Return if possible

Friends

“Friends give you a shoulder to cry on. But best friends are ready with to hurt the person that made you cry.”

What is friendship?

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.
Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives and remembering what one receives.
A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art…. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.

INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP DAY

International Day of Friendship is July 30 and this is a perfect time to celebrate those people in your life who know everything about you, make you laugh and are there for you when necessary. The great thing about friends is that they come in all shapes and sizes and we get to choose how many we have and how often we see them. Obviously friendships can be complicated and they don’t always run smoothly but the beauty is that they are constantly evolving and there are no rules on the amount of friends we can have and how we interact with them. Whether you have a few close friends that you see one-on-one, thrive in a big, boisterous social group, or make up the rules as you go along, each different friendship type is a gift and should be cherished. This is a great opportunity to do something special for all the different friends you have in your life to show them your appreciation.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF FRIENDSHIP

  1. THE BEST FRIEND :
    This is that one friend who you know, no matter what, will be there for you for the rest of your life. You’ve been through so many experiences together and you know all of each other’s secrets that you feel as close as family. Your best friend is the one who knows every little detail about you to the extent that you can finish each other’s sentences. These friendships can be rough sometimes because you go through the bad as well as the good together, but it’s all worth it because these experiences just make your relationship stronger.
    Treat them: Show them how much they mean they mean to you by creating a home-made collage of all the memories you’ve shared together infused with captions of your very own private jokes and catchphrases.
  2. THE LISTENER :
    This is the friend that you go to when you have a lot on your mind and you need someone who know is going to listen, just listen. Most of the time all we need is someone who will lend an open ear without passing judgement or feeling the need to interject, and this friend knows how to do just that. They are truly able to listen and leave their own opinions aside when all you need is to pour your heart and soul out.
    Treat them: They love to listen, so get them tickets to a fun music show or an interesting lecture.
  3. THE FUN ONE :
    This is the friend that you call up when you just want to let your hair down and have a good time. They are full of energy and always up for a laugh. You may not necessarily share your deepest secrets with this person but you can trust them to find the best parties in town or fun things to do. They are willing to take risks and will get you out of your comfort zone when you need a little push.
    Treat them: Make the effort to find a fun event that you know they will like and invite them along.
  4. THE LOYAL COWORKER :
    This is the friend that you actually spend more time with than any of your other friends. While you wouldn’t have necessarily chosen to be friends with them if you didn’t work together you are happy that you got the chance to meet them because there is a lot of mutual respect between you and you know that you can trust each other. You have a good relationship at work, making each other laugh to get through the day, and you also sometimes see each outside of work because you enjoy their company.
    Treat them: Cook a meal that you know they will like, take it into work and find a nice spot outside to eat it together at lunch time.
  5. THE WISE ONE :
    This is the friend you go to when you are searching for some advice or direction. They are the kind of person who has lived a rich and interesting life full of travel and adventure and are happy to share their experiences with others. Maybe a little older, this is the kind of friend who knows how to listen and also knows just the right thing to say at the right time. They have plenty of interests and are always offering new insights on the unique things they learn.
    Treat them: Make an effort to research one of their interests and either buy them a gift related to it or invite them to an interesting event.

Is male friendship better than female friendship?

I was a chubby girl during my mid-teenage years who wasn’t good in sports and dance and hence wouldn’t qualify the ‘criteria’ to be friends with the popular girls. Other girls worshiping the popular ones would too try to avoid me so I adapted and became friends with boys. I did had a girl best friend who would be there by my side but unfortunately she had to change school leaving me all alone.

So apparently I didn’t had many female friends but I did enjoyed boys company, they were free and funny. I still remember those awkward times, we all were in the “eww girls” and “yuck boys” phase and I used to be the only girl enjoying with the boys. During the recess, girls would make small groups and talk and I used to run from 1 far end to other to spend time with my male friends and female friends. I still recall how some girls used to look at me as if Im telling the boys girls’ secret.

We all grew up and both the boys and girls became comfortable with each other. During our high school time, it was quite funny to see the girls who used hate the boys so much were now committed in relationship and the boys used to meekly follow their crushes. I still had strong friendship with my girl companions and also with boys who used to help me a lot.

Many of my male friends were quite careless so I used to complete their work, many of my girl friends used to tease me but how can I stop helping my buddies.

Puberty was making havoc and miracles, average looking girls were becoming bombshells and boys were now turning into young men. One day a tragedy happened. Someone spread rumor about me since ‘I hangout with boys a lot’ many of my female friends judged me which hurt me a lot but my male friends stood for me and made it very clear to everyone that what they hear and think is completely wrong. Other boys too supported me and helped me to come out of my cocoon again.

I lost many friends during that phase but who were left with me were my true friends. Yes of course I can’t say girls’ friendship is better or boys’ friendship is better but till now I have more male friends because they never back stabbed me and were true to me. Even if they dislike something about me, they say it on my face and I do reconsider myself, yes my female best friend is there with me but when it comes to other friends, I just have female acquaintances.

I don’t say girls are not trustworthy, they’re; its just I wasn’t lucky enough to find such trustworthy girl friends. All my boy friends care deeply for me and treat me well for sure and sometime because of me, they mind their language.

So, for me my boys friendship seems better.

Culture of BIHAR

Bihar
Bihar is a state in the eastern region of India.It is the 12th largest state in terms of geographical size of 38,202 sq mi (98,940 km2) and 3rd largest by population. It is bounded by Uttar Pradesh to its west, Nepal to the north, Northern part of West Bengal to the east and by Jharkhand to the south. The Bihar plain is divided into two parts by the river Ganges which flows from west to east.Bihar has forest area of 6,764.14 km2, which is 7.2% of its geographical area. In 2000, southern Bihar was separated from Bihar to form the new state state of Jharkhand.Close to 85% of the population lives in villages. Almost 58% of Biharis are below the age of 25, which is the highest proportion in India.

Bihar was a centre of power, learning and culture in ancient and classical India. From Magadha arose India’s first and greatest empire, the Maurya empire as well as one of the world’s most widely adhered-to religions, Buddhism. Magadha empires, notably under the Maurya and Gupta dynasties, unified large parts of South Asia under a central rule. Its capital Patna, earlier known as Pataliputra, was an important centre of Indian civilization. Close to Patna, Nalanda and Vikramshila were centres of learning which were established in the 5th and 8th century respectively in Bihar, and are counted as amongst the oldest international universities of the time.

Since the late 1970s, Bihar has lagged behind other Indian states in terms of its social and economic development. Economists and social scientists claimed that this is a direct result of the policies of the central government, such as the Freight equalization policy, its apathy towards Bihar,[9][ lack of Bihari sub-nationalism (resulting in no spokesperson for the state), and the Permanent Settlement of 1793 by the British East India Company. The state government has however made significant strides in developing the state.The improved governance has led to an economic revival in the state through increased investment in infrastructure, better health care facilities, greater emphasis on education, and a diminution in crime and corruption.

Festivals
Chhath, also called Dala Chhath, is an ancient and major festival in Bihar, and is celebrated twice a year: once in the summers, called the Chaiti Chhath, and once around a week after Deepawali, called the Kartik Chhath. The latter is more popular because winters are the usual festive season in North India, and Chhath being an arduous observance requiring the worshippers to fast without water for more than 24 hours, is easier to do in the Indian winters. Chhath is the worship of the Sun God. Wherever people from Bihar have migrated, they have taken with them the tradition of Chhath. This is a ritual bathing festival that follows a period of abstinence and ritual segregation of the worshiper from the main household for two days. On the eve of Chhath, houses are scrupulously cleaned and so are the surroundings. The ritual bathing and worship of the Sun God takes place, performed twice: once in the evening and once on the crack of the dawn, usually on the banks of a flowing river, or a common large water body. The occasion is almost a carnival, and besides every worshipper, usually women, who are mostly the main ladies of the household, there are numerous participants and onlookers, all willing to help and receive the blessings of the worshiper. Ritual rendition of regional folk songs, carried on through oral transmission from mothers and mothers-in-law to daughters and daughters-in-law, are sung on this occasion for several days on the go. These songs are a great mirror of the culture, social structure, mythology and history of Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh. 

Transportation

Railways
Bihar is very well-connected by railway lines to the rest of India. Most of the towns are interconnected, and they are also connected directly to Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai (as well as most other major cities in India). Daily or weekly trains connect major cities in India. Nepal Railways operates two railway lines: a 6 km broad gauge line from Raxaul in India to Sirsiya Inland Container Depot or Dry Port near Birganj in Nepal and a 53 km 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge line from Jaynagar in India to Bijalpura in Nepal. The latter line is composed of two sections: 32 km between Jaynagar and Janakpur and 21 km from Janakpur to Bijalpura. The Janakpur line is used largely for passengers and the Sirsiya (Birganj) line only for cargo freight.

Airways
Bihar has three operational airports at Patna, Gaya Airport, and Purnea Airport. The Patna airport is categorised as a restricted international airport, with customs facilities to receive international chartered flights. The Gaya Airport is an international airport connected to Colombo, Singapore, Bangkok, Paro and more.

Roadways
The state has a vast network of National and State highways. East-West corridor goes through the cities of Bihar (Muzaffarpur-Darbhanga-Purnia NH57) 4–6 lanes. There are tourist buses operates for few places from Patna under Bihar State Tourism Corporations, there is well known and trusted Car Rental Services from http://www.eazeecab.com which operates majorly in Bihar, Including Gaya, Bodhgaya and Patna.

Tourism
Bihar is one of the oldest inhabited places in the world, with a history spanning 3,000 years.[citation needed] The historically rich culture and heritage of Bihar can be observed from the large number of ancient monuments spread throughout the state. Bihar is visited by many tourists from around the world, with about 24,000,000 (24 million) tourists visiting the state each year.

In earlier days, tourism in the region was purely based on educational tourism, as Bihar was home of some prominent ancient universities like Nalanda University & Vikramaśīla University.

Bihar is one of the most sacred place for various religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and Islam. Mahabodhi Temple, a Buddhist shrine and UNESCO World Heritage Site is also situated in Bihar. Mahatma Gandhi Setu, Patna, was one of the longest river bridges in the world in early 80s.

Famous food

Dishes for which Bihar is famous include Bihari kebabs, litti chokha, Bihari boti, Bihari chicken masala,sattu paratha (parathas stuffed with roasted gram flour), chokha (spicy mashed eggplant and potatoes), fish curry and posta-dana ka halwa.

Welcome to Bihar .. the state of festival and love…

The Story Of A Dead Whale

Ever heard of whales bursting? These are some nasty creatures to deal with. A dead whale can,that too washed on a shore can create some devastating scenarios. So, dive in! (  one of the worst puns ever!)

  • Cause of death

Now, no animal can be immortal, can they? So even whales die.Most of the reasons being dehydration, collapsing under their own massive weights, drowning, tides,washed up on the shore etc.

  • The discovery

On the lands of Florence,Oregon, the people discover a dead sperm whale on the beach in Central Oregon Coast. The navy thus, decided to blast the dead whale using a dynamite as it was taking a lot of place.The person in-charge for the project was George Thornton who was an engineer. He described in an interview that he was not sure about the amount of dynamite they were going to need. Apparently, he was chosen for the particular project due to the supervisor who went hunting. Finally, a charge dynamite of approximately 450kg was selected to blast the whale. A veteran had previously warned about the vast amount was not necessarily needed, but his advice fell to deaf ears. The event of detonating the dynamite took place on Nov 12, precisely at 3:45pm. The whole event was recorded by Doug Brazil, for the famous show of Paul Linnman from a channel called KATU TV. Basically, what they thought was, by blasting the dead whale with a dynamite, the whale would disintegrate into smaller pieces and scavengers could feed on it. Seemed like a fair theory,didn’t it. But theoretical explanations are far more different compared to practical explanations, which are too unpredictable. What they didn’t think was that the whale could possibly…blast.

  • Explanation

So the thing is, when any living organism dies, it produces gases like methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2).This gas gradually keeps developing. So your question might be….but why is this related with the whales? What happens is, even whales develop these kinds of gases inside their body. Now a whale’s body is pretty big. A typical blue whale’s height would be around 3.96 to 4.88. So the place is pretty spacious. Now , what happens is, a whale’s body produces admittedly large amounts of these gases. Even if gases are comparatively more compressible than other states, so the pressure inside the whale is very high. Now, gases are something you should not play around with. Methane is extremely flammable. In fact- Ch4 is what we also call  ‘natural gas’ used as fuels. So yeah, if it is so flammable,  accordingly, it becomes very dangerous as well. The only thing which keeps it from exploding is the blubber,which is a layer inside the body of the whale. Also, the outer  skin prevents the gas from coming out. But one should keep in mind that the blubber and the skin would eventually give in. What actually happened in 1970 Florence case was, they did  nothing but trigger the explosion  of the whale. How? Suppose you got hurt for reason. So , what happens? Well, you bleed. Yes, but one more thing that also happens is that the skin becomes a little damaged. Same is with the skin of whales. It has some weak spots as well. Even poking it with your hand( that would be disgusting) would do nothing but trigger the pressure of gases, which will just cause the explosion tobe sooner. What the navy did was nothing but trigger the explosion. It causes a massive explosion. The weird thing was, the crew expected the whale to disintegrate but ironically, most of the parts stayed intact. What must have happened was , the part where the skin was damaged, must have released all the gases at once. And the fire just made it more lethal. The scavenger didn’t even come to feed on the dead body, predictably due to the sound of the explosion.The whole mess was left to be cleaned by the workers of Oregon National highway.

When a whale dies, two things can happen,

  1.  The whale sinks into the bottom of the sea
  2.  Or, the body is washed up on the seashore due to tides.

From these two, the second situation is the most common. After the incident, the people prefered to just burn the whale the moment they resided on the seashore to avoid such circumstances.

Many such incidents had occurred similar to these, the Taiwan incident for example.

This is nothing but one of the fascinating things nature has. No one can particularly make the happenings lessen but can only be cautious. The situation though, is not much common. Because the average lifespan of a whale is 70 to 80 years. So, the circumstances are not that common but it’s there. So the next time you find a dead whale…….run!!!!

The Power of Meditation

Our life is a race, we chase money, career, happiness experiences. We were constantly thinking about the next thing we need to do and worrying about our future. We have so many tasks, worries, responsibilities and needs, meditation is a powerful tool that helps us slow down and take a break. It has a long history of thousands of years evolved from many different cultures and traditions.
Meditation is a state of awareness, we stop the life race and observe with awareness inside ourselves and outside it here and now this is called mindfulness. While meditating we are mindful to the present moment we pay attention to things we usually ignore like the current atmosphere in our body’s processes. Meditation has many benefits; it reduces negativity, stress, anxiety, depression, tension and anger at the same time it increases positivity, self-awareness, calmness, focus, tolerance and creativity. Meditation refreshes our mind and recharges our batteries, it is like a mental restart button which lets us have a fresh point of view. More clearly we can look as it is an inner bath for our mind and soul. Scientifically, meditating prevents and lowers the risk of diseases usually those which relate to stress and blood pressure like a heart attack. Less stress means more health. People who meditate on a regular basis have higher levels of alpha waves which reduce negative emotions. Meditating over time has positive impacts on our brain, body and soul. There are many ways to practice meditation. The most common one being mindful to your breath; sit right where you are no matter if it is at work, home or any other place and start paying attention to your breath, inhale and exhale without effort, you can focus on different parts of your body and imagine our breadth moving towards them. And another recommended way is listening to guided meditation and following the instructions. Adopting meditation as a habit will help us upgrade our lifestyle and add more value to our life. Meditation can change our brain patterns and increase the performance of cognitive functions which are needed for thinking, remembering, learning, problem solving etc. Meditation really helps in managing pain, depression and anxiety of people all around the world. Even mindfulness meditation classes are being offered in schools and hospitals because of their effectiveness. The focus of mindfulness meditation is to practice the brain in staying and focusing solely in the moments, which is why the meditator is encouraged to think of nothing but his or her breathing and to have a mantra. The aim is to let go of the regrets of the past as well as anxieties of the future to have a relaxing line in the present meditation as food for the soul. It nourishes our minds and values, qualities like compassion, responsibility, peacefulness, truthfulness and forbearing temptations. It helps in making and keeping good relationships with others and most especially with ourselves. The calmness and tranquillity we get from this experience give us a sense of comfort and stability. Allowing us to stay positive in life and be resilient to any negativity. Throwing out meditation is not just a mere activity for relaxation, it is the world’s greatest therapy. So, why not give it a try when we are feeling stressed out and angry at someone. Just take a deep breath and relax at the moment. Clear your mind and be grateful for all these life experiences that can help you improve. After all, we want to improve the world, we have to first start with ourselves. So take time every day to keep clear and bring that clarity to those around you.

Check your privilege : Veganism.

There is a sense of entitlement that goes along with being vegan. In case you aren’t familiar with veganism, it is best described as vegetarian fundamentalism.
According to the Oxford dictionary; “Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, as well as following an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of sentient animals.”  Although like most ideologies and religions there are varying degrees of adherence, vegans do not consume, wear, possess or use products that involve the use of animals.

Most vegan substitutes, like nondairy milk or cheese, fake meats, and other specialty ingredients for recipes are expensive. If someone were lower-class and struggling financially, buying these foods absolutely would not be a possibility.
Yet, many middle and upper class vegans will still shame people who cannot afford to spend an excessive amount of money on food.
No, no one’s bashing veganism, mose people’s intentions are good but the thing is one can’t ignore the unprivileged people while talking about veganism.
Speaking specifically about our own country, we need to check our privilege when promoting veganism. Almond milk for eg, costs around Rs.390/litre. Clearly, not everyone can afford that.

People who are being crushed by the demands of capitalism and facing oppression are often not thinking about going vegan.
Yet, privileged vegans (not all) will still find it necessary to indirectly shame them by boasting about how cheap being vegan really can be and why everyone should go vegan because of this.
Ignoring the fact that tribal people have been relying on meat for generations in order to survive and that the current situation is the fault of capitalists, is problematic.
In many regions, eating home reared is more sustainable than clearing land of vegetation for agriculture.

When families are struggling to put food on the table, the last thing they need is to be shamed for what kind of food that is.

The problem with the vegan movement isn’t its aims and goals at stopping animal cruelty and saving the environment. The problem is a perceived lack of accessibility and options for many Indians. While having food choice is a privilege, having that privilege used for justice is essential.

When vegans pressure their diet onto others, they neglect to acknowledge both financial struggles and accessibility.
Caring for animals isn’t wrong, but it’s  socially irresponsible to care more for animals than humans, especially when so many are falling below the poverty line and struggling to afford food of any kind.

If it is a viable option for you to go vegan, you can simultaneously follow the diet while acknowledging that by accident of birth only, you have the financial means to maintain the practice. By the same token, if you believe this is a lifestyle option that should be equally accessible to everyone, you can use your platform and knowledge to fight for the deconstruction of a system that prevents this accessibility.

Doing this will be more effective than condemning those are not vegan for reasons personal to them.
It’s unfair but realistic that a financially comfortable individual will find it easier to pursue a healthy vegan diet than someone at a comparative economic disadvantage.
We also cannot hold people morally accountable if they have grown up in a culture that says there is nothing wrong with eating meat; it is a necessary part of human nutrition and we are not bad for doing so.

I support going vegetarian or vegan if you have the privilege to do so, because I truly do believe it can make a positive impact on our environment, but one can’t force it on others without realizing the fact that everyone isn’t in the same economic or dietary position.

Hardly The Picture Of A Welfare State: MP HC Reprimands EOW

It is most refreshing, most reassuring and really remarkable to see that the Madhya Pradesh High Court has just recently on August 11, 2020 in a latest, landmark and extremely laudable judgment titled Colonel Bhupendra Singh Kharayat v. The State of Madhya Pradesh in Case No. : MCRC 26706/2020 taken very strong exception of a 78-year-old retired Colonel of the Indian Army being arrested and has rapped the EOW (Economic Offences Wing), Bhopal for arresting him in a case where an arrest was simply not warranted and the court below for rejecting the applicant’s bail application. The applicant was in judicial custody since 24/7/2020 in the above-said case. This noteworthy case is worth emulating and its ruling must always be adhered to by all the courts in similar such cases!

                         To start with, the Bench of Justice Atul Sreedharan of Madhya Pradesh High Court which has decided this case sets the ball rolling in para 1 of this notable judgment wherein it is mentioned that, “This application has been filed on behalf of the applicant under section 439 of the Cr.P.C. for offence under sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 472, 474 read with section 120B of IPC and registered vide Crime No. 95/2020, at P.S. E.O.W Bhopal, District Bhopal.”

               While outlining the background, it is then enunciated in para 2 that, “The applicant is in judicial custody since 24/07/2020 in the above said case. The investigating agency is the Economic Offences Wing, Bhopal (hereinafter referred to as the “EOW”). The applicant is 78 years of age and is a retired Colonel of the Indian Army. He is President of the Tilak Grah Nirman Society, Bhopal.”

                        While enumerating the facts, it is then stated in para 3 that, “Briefly, the facts of this case are that one Rabiya Bi is the complainant along with others registered the FIR against the applicant and other co-accused persons. The property in question is land ad-measuring 93.37 acres situated in Village Singaraholi, Bhopal. The owner was one Faiz Mohammad who died leaving behind seven legal heirs. They are Mohammad Ayub, Mohammad Yakub, Hanifa Sultan, Asma Sultan, Sikandar Khan, Qamar Khan and Anwar Khan. Out of the total area of 93.37 acres, 54 acres was demarcated for residential purpose while the remaining approximately 39 acres was kept aside for agricultural purpose.” 

                                 To put things in perspective, it is then envisaged in para 4 that, “With the exception of Mohammad Yakub, the remaining six legal heirs of Faiz Mohammad jointly executed a power of attorney dated 17/01/1989 and transferred all the rights with regard to the aforesaid property to the power of attorney holder Mohammad Sharif (the then President of Tilak Grah Nirman Society). Similarly, Mohammad Yakub also executed a power of attorney on 05/08/1989 transferring all his rights with respect to the aforesaid property in favour of power of attorney holder Mohammad Sharif. Thus Mohammad Sharif became the power of attorney holder for six of the legal heirs by way of power of attorney dated 17/01/1989 and also the power of attorney holder for Mohammad Yakub vide power of attorney dated 05/08/1989. On the basis of the combined power of attorney given by the six legal heirs, Mohammad Sharif sold 34 acres of agricultural land through 12 registered sale deeds, executed in favour of various individuals between 04/02/1989 and 26/06/1989. On the basis of the power of attorney executed by Mohammad Yakub, Mohammad Sharif sold the remaining agricultural land of five acres and 64 decimal to Tilak Grah Nirman Samity vide 11 registered sale deeds and the same was executed between 15/11/1994 and 23/11/1994. Besides the power of attorney mentioned hereinabove all the 7 legal heirs of Faiz Mohammad executed 7 different power of attorneys in favour of Mohammad Sharif between February and March 1990. Vesting the rights of remaining 54 acres of land in favour of Mohammad Sharif, the power of attorney holder.”

                           To be sure, it is then stated in para 5 that, “On the strength of the 7 power of attorneys the remaining land of 54 acres was also sold to Tilak Grah Nirman Samiti by 14 registered sale deeds executed in the year 1997 and Tilak Grah Nirman Samiti further sold the land to 1500 persons.”

                        Be it noted, it is then disclosed in para 6 that, “In the FIR dated 07/02/2020, it has been alleged by the complainants that Mohammad Sharif had executed the power of attorney dated 17/01/1989 without the knowledge of the 6 legal heirs, the ancestors of the complainant and altered the remaining paragraphs of the power of attorney and thereby committed forgery. In the FIR, it was also alleged that Mohammad Sharif, in connivance with other accused persons, executed various sale deeds in favour of his family members and friends in the year 1989.” 

                             Needless to say, it would be pertinent to mention here that it is then brought out in para 7 that, “The applicant has been arrested in this case only because he happens to be on the post of President Tilak Grah Nirman Samiti, which had purchased land from Mohammad Sharif who sold the same on the strength of the power of attorneys executed in his favour by the legal heirs of Faiz Mohammad, more than twenty five years ago.” 

                             Significantly, it is then stated in para 8 that, “Learned counsel for the applicant has taken this Court through the medical documents pertaining to the applicant which are as recent as 29/05/2020, which reflect that the applicant who is aged about 78 years is suffering from a heart ailment. The oldest documents go back to the year 2016, which show that the applicant is an old patient of heart disease. Learned counsel for the applicant also states that the cell in which the applicant has been housed, one inmate was detected suffering from coronavirus. Learned counsel for the applicant has also taken this Court through various reports given by the prosecuting agency, the EOW. The first report is dated 28/03/2020 addressed to the Special Judge, EOW, Bhopal. In paragraph 16, the said report lays down the allegation specific to the applicant. The allegation is that the applicant Colonel Bhupendra Singh (Retd.), is the President of the Tilak Grah Nirman Samiti and in that capacity he sold 34 acres of agricultural land from the 39 acres and the remaining 5 acres and 64 decimal were purchased in the name of the Grih Nirman Society, it is not the case of the EOW that any property has been purchased in the name of the applicant. It further says that this land which belong to Yakub Mohammad was transferred to the Grih Nirman Society by Mohammad Sharif, the power of attorney holder for Yakub Mohammad (by power of attorney dated 05/08/1989) and for the remaining six legal heirs, through power of attorney dated 17/01/1989, through 11 registered sale deeds between 15/11/1994 to 23/11/1994. The second report is dated 30/06/2020, where yet again in paragraph 16, the same identical role is attributed to the applicant as has been stated hereinabove with regard to the first report. Likewise, also in the remaining two reports (in all four reports) given to the Special Judge at Bhopal (EOW, Bhopal) it is the same allegation. The Ld. Counsel for the State has opposed the applicant for grant of bail on the ground that investigation is still in progress.”

                                         More significantly, it is then held in para 9 that, “This Court feels it essential to refer to the judgment of the Supreme Court in Joginder Kumar’s case where the Supreme Court has extensively discussed the power of the police to effect an arrest. The Supreme Court refers to the third National Police Commission report and extracts therefrom “In India, Third Report of the National Police Commission at p. 32 also suggested: “An arrest during the investigation of a cognizable case may be considered justified in one or other of the following circumstances: (i) The case involves a grave offence like murder, dacoity, robbery, rape etc., and it is necessary to arrest the accused and bring his movements under restraint to infuse confidence among the terror-stricken victims. (ii) The accused is likely to abscond and evade the processes of law. (iii) The accused is given to violent behaviour and is likely to commit further offences unless his movements are brought under restraint. (iv) The accused is a habitual offender and unless kept in custody he is likely to commit similar offences again. It would be desirable to insist through departmental instructions that a police officer making an arrest should also record in the case diary the reasons for making the arrest, thereby clarifying his conformity to the specified guidelines……” [Joginder Kumar v. State of U.P., (1994) 4 SCC 260, Paragraph 20]. After reproducing the above from the NPC report, the Supreme Court holds “The above guidelines are merely the incidents of personal liberty guaranteed under the Constitution of India. No arrest can be made because it is lawful for the police officer to do so. The existence of the power to arrest is one thing. The justification for the exercise of it is quite another. The police officer must be able to justify the arrest apart from his power to do so. Arrest and detention in police lock-up of a person can cause incalculable harm to the reputation and self-esteem of a person. No arrest can be made in a routine manner on a mere allegation of commission of an offence made against a person. It would be prudent for a police officer in the interest of protection of the constitutional rights of a citizen and perhaps in his own interest that no arrest should be made without a reasonable satisfaction reached after some investigation as to the genuineness and bona fides of a complaint and a reasonable belief both as to the person’s complicity and even so as to the need to effect arrest. Denying a person of his liberty is a serious matter. The recommendations of the Police Commission merely reflect the constitutional concomitants of the fundamental right to personal liberty and freedom. A person is not liable to arrest merely on the suspicion of complicity in an offence. There must be some reasonable justification in the opinion of the officer effecting the arrest that such arrest is necessary and justified. Except in heinous offences, an arrest must be avoided if a police officer issues notice to person to attend the Station House and not to leave the Station without permission would do. [Joginder Kumar v. State of U.P., (1994) 4 SCC 260, Paragraph 20].  

                     Most distressingly, it is pointed out in para 10 without mincing any words that, “This court is distressed at the alacrity and absolute insensitivity with which the EOW has considered it fit to arrest the applicant. It just didn’t matter to the EOW that the applicant is a senior citizen aged seventy-eight. It mattered little to them that the applicant was suffering from a heart ailment. The EOW couldn’t care less that the applicant with his co-morbidities came under the high-risk category of persons for whom the corona affliction could prove fatal. Not for a moment, did the EOW pause to think whether it was necessary to arrest the applicant in a case where the alleged offence was committed more than twenty-five years ago. In the facts of this case, the arrest of the applicant by the EOW betrays a sadistic pleasure on the part of the EOW to decimate the dignity and self-respect of the applicant by arresting him in a case where an arrest was simply not warranted.”       

                                     Most significantly yet most tellingly,  it is then lamented in para 11 that, “We in the judiciary too have not exactly covered ourselves with glory in the manner in which we have dealt with the applicant. The rejection order of the Ld. Court below is routine and completely devoid of human empathy to the plight of the applicant, unmoved either by the age of the applicant, his health condition or his peripheral involvement in the case or that his arrest has been effected in an alleged offence which has taken place more than twenty five years ago. The Ld. Court below does not even momentarily reflect on the need for the continued incarceration of the applicant but for observing that the investigation is still in progress. The rejection of the applicants bail application by the Ld. Court below is not unique to the present case but reflects a deeper malaise afflicting the District Judiciary which displays a subliminal fear in allowing bail applications under the perceived notion that explanation may be called for by the High Court if, in the opinion of the High Court, the discretion in granting bail by the Ld. Court below is erroneously exercised. Resultantly, for the District Judiciary, Jail is the norm and bail the exception. An application which ought to have been allowed by the Ld. Court below, has trudged its way up to this court and nothing can indict the insensitivity of the judicial process more than this case where the applicant, a retired Colonel of the Indian Army, a senior citizen aged 78 years, ailing from a heart disease, has been in judicial custody since 24/07/2020 for an alleged non-heinous offence committed over twenty five years ago. Hardly the picture of a welfare state.” 

                          Briefly stated, it is then stated in the last relevant para 12 that the application is allowed and it is directed that the applicant shall be forthwith enlarged on bail upon his furnishing a personal bond of Rs 10,000/- with one solvent surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court. It is also directed that a copy of this order be sent to the court concerned by e-mail to expedite the process of furnishing the bail bonds.

                    Finally, para 13 then concludes by observing that, “The jail authorities shall have the applicant checked by the jail doctor to ensure that he is not suffering from the coronavirus and if he is, he shall be sent to the nearest hospital designated by the State for treatment. If not, he shall be transported to his place of residence by the jail authorities.”

                       In short, MP High Court has not minced any words to highlight its strongest displeasure at the manner in which EOW arrested a 78-year-old retired Colonel of Army in a case where arrest was just not warranted at all and also at the manner in which the courts below rejected the applicant’s bail application! This was most shocking and so rightly condemned by the MP High Court. No denying it!

Child Labor – That can be your child too


Article by – Shishir Tripathi
Intern at Hariyali foundation in collaboration with Educational News

Every child has the right to live a beautiful childhood filled with a lot of memories of laughter, enjoyment and mischief. It is basically a very lovely process of modeling an infant into a responsible, smart, endearing, productive and a well developed human being. At this tender age, proper nurturing of a kid is really important. A child demands attention, love, care and a hand above his head that will protect him from all the adversities and problems in life.


But not every kid is blessed to have a childhood as described above. According to UNICEF and ILO, the total number of children engaged in child labor, within the age group 5-17 in the year 2013, is 168 million.


Talking about India itself becomes far more essential and sensible too, when one is living in India. According to 2011 census, out of 259.64 billion children, 10.1 million children were working as child laborers within the age group of 5-17.

The constitution of India in the Fundamental rights and the Directive Principles of State Policy prohibits child labor in any mine or factory or castle or engaged in any other hazardous employment.


The Child Labor Prohibition and Prevention Act was passed on 23 December, 1986. Further in 2016, certain amendments were made in the act. The amendment has introduced the concept of adolescent labor for the first time. An adolescent has been defined as a person between the ages of 14-18 years. The amendment permits employment of adolescent labor except in hazardous processes or occupation. The number of hazardous occupations and processes has been reduced from 83 to only 3. The offences under the Act have now been made compoundable and cognizable notwithstanding the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code. The Child Labor Act provides for rehabilitation of children and adolescent who have been victims under the provisions of the Child Labor Act. It provides for setting up of the Child and Adolescent Labor Rehabilitation Fund in which all the amounts of penalty have to be realized. Liability has been affixed upon the parents and guardian of the affected child/children separately from the employers. The Act provides for increased penalty and imprisonment which shall not be less than 6 months and may extend up to 2 years and fine which may vary between Rs.20, 000 to Rs. 50,000.


Despite all this, incidents of child thefts are increasing day by day. Very few of those get rescued by Police. The others, where do they go, what they do, how do they live, are all unanswered questions to the families and the society.

But deep down everyone knows that those missing children are the ones cleaning dirty utensils in the roadside dhabas and in the fancy restaurants of city too. They are forced to do begging, they are made physically handicapped, they are brutally beaten and even exploited sexually. They are sent to abroad to work in mines, and do child labor. They are sold as servants to the so called big people and they even face trafficking basically meant for their sexual exploitation.


According to the latest data from National Crime Records Bureau, 63,407 children went missing in 2016 in India. On an average, 174 children in India go missing per day.


All over the world, children are being exploited through child labor. This mentally and physically dangerous work interferes with schooling and long-term development. Innocent little children are thrown into such a hazardous world that put them at the risk of getting a disease, being physically handicapped and simply death.


A child needs love. Love by his family, and the society. He has full right to live an amazing childhood and the right to cherish memories to be made with family and school too. Several NGOs are working to prevent children from child labor and providing them the right childhood by the means of either sending them to their real parents or in some cases adoption.


Through this article just carry one lesson with yourself that a small attempt by your side to stop child labor can help a child living a beautiful childhood and hence a beautiful life.

Whenever one witnesses a child being engaged in child labor, or finds a missing child, they must report the police station or call the helpline 1098.


A missing child is a parent’s worst nightmare. He or she can be your child too.


Hence, wake up and stand boldly against Child Labor.

Bhagawad Gita: The origin and abstract of all teachings

On the auspicious day of Teachers day- 5th September. Let’s take a moment to remember all the ancient learning we have learned or came across till now. Today is also the birthday of former President Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. He is also quoted as very famous teacher and hence today is also celebrated as Teachers day. Here we are taking a look at some of great teachings that were given to lord Krishna to great Arjuna.

Arjun were in dire confusion about the existence, death and soul. What is the ultimate goal, and many such questions and then Krishna showered him with the ultimate and most precious knowledge by teaching him

Arjun asked – “Those devotees who, ever steadfast, worship You after this fashion, and those others who worship the Imperishable and Unmanifest – which of these have greater knowledge of yoga?”

The Lord said: “Those who have fixed their minds on Me, and who, ever faith, worship Me – them do I hold to be perfect in yoga.”

“And those who have completely controlled their senses and are of even mind under all conditions and thus worship the Imperishable, the Ineffable, the Incomprehensible, the Immutable, the Unchanging, the Eternal – they devoted to the welfare of all beings, attain Me alone, and none else.

The task of those whose minds are set on the Unmanifest is more difficult; for the ideal of the Unmanifest is hard to attain for those who are embodied.”

“But those who consecrate all their actions to Me, regarding Me as the Supreme Goal, and who worship Me, meditating on Me with single-minded concentration – to them, whose minds are thus absorbed in Me, verily I become ere long, O Partha, the Saviour from the death-fraught ocean of the world.”

“Fix your mind on Me alone, rest your thoughts on Me alone, and in Me alone you will live hereafter. Of this there is no doubt.”

 “If you are unable to do even this, then be self-controlled, surrender the fruit of all action, and take refuge in Me.”

“Knowledge is better than practice, and meditation is better than knowledge. Renunciation of the fruit of action is better than meditation; peace immediately follows such renunciation.”

“If you are unable to fix your mind steadily on Me, O Dhananjaya, then seek to reach me by the yoga of constant practice.”

“If you are incapable of constant practice, then devote yourself to My service. For even by rendering service to Me you will attain perfection.”

“He by whom the world is not afflicted and whom the world cannot afflict, he who is free from joy and anger, fear and anxiety – he is dear to Me.”

“He who is free from dependence, who is pure and prompt, unconcerned and untroubled, and who has renounced all undertakings – dear to Me is the man who is thus devoted to Me.”

 “He who never hates any being and is friendly and compassionate to all, who is free from the feelings if “I” and “mine” and even-minded in pain and pleasure, who is forbearing, ever content, and steady in contemplation, who is self-controlled and possessed of firm conviction, and who has consecrated his mind and understanding to Me – dear to Me is the one who is thus devoted to Me.”

As we celebrate the Teacher’s day in 2020, let’s understand the perspective of students on how they expect teachers to be with them and how they want to cope up with teachers. We usually teach people around us somewhat to get them better at something. So, now we are doing the vice versa by understanding the prospective.

  • Listen to the students-Lord Krishna very patiently listened to Arjun when he was demotivated. Listening will help you know more about your student and the teacher student relationship also strengthens. While listening don’t judge your student, neither be angry on his works. Just understand that he is on his way of learning and he will commit mistakes.
  • Build a trust relationship with students-Lord Krishna and Arjuna depicted the best student teacher relationship where Arjuna had complete trust on Lord Krishna. Build a relationship with students so that after getting lessons from you they have a strong belief that the success is for sure and there is no point of defeat. Because at the end their success and their happiness is something that is going to give you immense satisfaction.
  • Answer with validation and reasoning-A student can’t believe in anything you say. He needs a proper reasoning of Why or Why not? Reasoning should be given on your own experience or based on some logic. Find different creative ways of answering a problem. A student should not be taught to just assume things and answers should not just be imposed on him without proper validation and logic. In Bhagawad Gita, Lord Krishna put his points with full validation and reasoning and convinced Arjuna in every possible way.
  • Satiate the hunger of inquisitive minds-A teacher should feel very enthusiastic in answering the inquisitive minds and should not be irritated if the student asks more questions. Lord Krishna very patiently answered all questions that were arising in the mind of Arjuna.

When a parent sends their children to school, they are actually sending their dreams to you to come true and fulfilling somebody’s dream is a great job.

One Rule…can end up corruption by 70%


There are many people who talks about it , and few screams and fight to end it…………but since ages, it’s not being possible to make a difference, and still have not got independence from it’s foul smell, where someone dwelling in it , without sense. But, should we live in this rut forever ?…And to accept ourselves as incapable of destroying it, and to live like a looser.


I have a one brilliant rule, if it comes into play that undoubtedly changes the fate of the country. Before i reveal it, let us know why this rule works besides many measures being taken were failing since decades.
The main feasible condition for corruption, is lack of surveillance and awareness among people,and how it greatly damages our standard of living. So,creating awareness among all the people might sometimes work, but most of the time it rewards us with great disappointment. because, India has biggest population, it’s hard to make all of us to bring on to one platform with one voice.


But, there was no dearth of solution, if we think and the first said idea is………….
This idea works with collection of students, professors, university bodies, govt anti corruption and adminstrative bodies , police.
You may wonder that how, could you connect students, professors with police?
The bitter fact is, about 90% of indian passouts graduates are unskilled according to the several esteemed surveys. The main reason for it is, not having a platform to access practical knowledge, we have severe shortage of internship opportunities and real time project works. This problem can also be indirectly solved by our main idea.

The govt should make project works mandatory and give them more importance in their course, some may refrain with this idea…but if we couldn’t able to perform on projects itself, how can we able to sustain after getting to global market; initially it might be hard, but with support of our peer and lecturers we can excel gradually.
Now, we all should be assigned project works by our colleges in collaboration with national education body (now MHRD), only on all governmental assets and organisations….here comes a game changing shot. But, how is it possible?

The government must allow all the students to study governmental organisations, properties, and projects build by them.(let’s say a dam, hospital etc…). This helps to make an assessment for the quality of work being done in various govt fields and organisations.The reports submitted by students can be used by anti corruption agencies and help them to understand the situation at very ground level. As it’s not possible for anti corruption agencies to keep an eye over every inch of the whole country, they can use this student community as a strongest trustworthy network as they don’t provide false reports, if in case; the professor and the whole college who guided him will be felt guilt, and leads to their lack of reputation in society. so, this locking system can help students ro not provide false reports.

All the students must be allotted some projects on live aspects(like dams, hospitals ,industries built and being run by govt) in their respective fields, and we have to start analyzing their maintenance and prepare and submit the report of it’s quality and working efficiency. Here itself, we get an opportunity to dig up the flaws went up and to make a change by preparing efficient reports of the atrocities made and corruption that underwent.

For say, i’m a student of civil engineering, got a project to understand about kaleshwaram dam and have to submit report on it. I started by when it has built, and how much cost it took, what are the materials used in it, what are the technologies use in it, why does the walls of the dam is being getting cracks just after 5 years of its inauguration, what is the reason for recent fire accident……..when i submit the detail report to the college, I am gonna get my marks
The above said will be the work of every student in every field, not only engineering also health,law, agriculture,finance and every field.
Instead the anti corruption bureau working on intensive ground level, they can collect all the project reports form all colleges and will be easier for them to take action, by using the information.
As, it is a real time project, the professor of individual group must take care of no flaws and genuinity of information, as it will be a major source for higher govt authorities to take action.
In simple, students has to set on to study the past govt projects and organisations; and the detailed project reports and student community acts as a strong surveillance framework and it bring out the corruptions of the past as well as prevents the corruptions of the future. This idea, if it honed by the bright minds of our country, it can surely be an influential act.

Women in Politics

Compared to the past, we now witness that there has been strengthening of women’s participation in all spheres of life as a major discourse of economic and social development in the last few decades. Many international and bilateral development agencies have proclaimed policies to integrate women better into social and economic processes. However, in spite of this, we see that they share a low presence in elected political bodies. This points to the fact that the universal adult franchise is inadequate to overcome the overwhelming structural constraints that impede female presence in political office. Some reasons for this include the traditional recruiting practices of political parties, the differential time budget of women, furthermore, in developing countries women have lower educational achievements due to social norms that restrict their freedom of movement.

A range of thinkers have opined that quotas for women have proved to be viable to overcome such structural obstacles. Countries that managed to enlarge the number of female representatives is because of the reservation of seats either through self-imposed party regulations or through legal action by the state. But there are critics who say that quotas are discriminatory in nature and it is also criticized by those who don’t view women as the political category in themselves.

India has a women’s quota of 33% at the local level. This happened via the 73rd Amendment to the Indian Constitution. It laid down new rules for the establishment and design of rural local government i.e. Panchayati Raj. This stipulates that at least 33% of seats and positions have to be filled by women. The proponents believe this quota will lead to their empowerment but critics claim that women will act merely as proxies for influential men and they also say that women in rural India lack basic qualifications that are required for such positions of power. What becomes important in this regard is that power defines politics and power is needed for the empowerment of women who have been marginalized historically and hence, proponents assume that through quotas women would transform politics by introducing new issues and different ways of doing politics.

Political Scientist Evelin Hust conducted a field research in Balipatna Block of Khordha district and Block Gania in Nayagarh district in Odisha where she identified a couple of problems. One such issue that she identified was that the female legislators may or may not work for the benefit of women. Therefore, quotas can be an enabling condition for women empowerment but it is not sufficient by itself. Another issue being that by and large women lacked knowledge about politics due to being less educated. Moreover, the dominant discourse is still opposed to women’s political role in rural politics. Women also lacked actual political presence of the representatives as it was noted that women signed up for the panchayat records at home while it was their husbands who participated in such meetings. 

However, there are also many positive gains in regard to the process of empowerment of the female representatives. They gained new knowledge about politics and local issues. Women have achieved higher visibility in village community which is a very important development for rural India. But women empowerment cannot be guaranteed by quotas alone, we need additional strategies in place to promote self-reliance of women as well as remove the structural obstacles.

Remembering the Greatest Teacher

The first vice-president and second president of India, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was above all a great teacher and a world renowned philosopher-author. Today on 5th September as we celebrate Teacher’s Day let’s take a moment and reminisce the man behind this, Dr. S Radhakrishnan.

Dr. Radhakrishnan was born on 5 September 1888 at Tiruttani in Tamil Nadu. He pursued BA and then MA in Philosophy from Madras Christian College. From 1918-21 he was a professor in Philosophy at Mysore University. Next he was appointed to King George V Chair of Mental and Moral Science at the University of Calcutta. He represented CU at the Congress of the Universities of the British Empire in June 1926 as well as at the International Congress of Philosophy at Harvard University, the USA in September 1926. He was knighted in 1931 by the British Crown. He was appointed as a Spalding professor of Eastern Religions and Ethics at the University of Oxford in 1936.

Dr. S Radhakrishnan said “Instead of celebrating my birthday, it would be my proud privilege if 5 September is observed as Teachers’ Day”, the day originated. He quoted “The true teachers are those who help us think for ourselves.” He was highly admired and respected by his teachers; in bidding him farewell from Mysore University his students had arranged for a flower-decked carriage to take him to the railway station which, was pulled by the students themselves.

Dr S Radhakrishnan was awarded the Bharat Ratna in 1952 for his exemplary contributions. In 1954, he received the German ‘Order pour le Merite for Arts and Science’ and in 1961, the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade. He is regarded to be one of the most distinguished 20th century scholar of comparative religion and philosophy. In 1968, he was conferred the Sahitya Akademi Fellowship and is the first person to get this award.

Dr S Radhakrishnan is a role model for all the teachers and scholars world-over. He serves as an inspiration for all Indians. His birth anniversary is celebrated as a day to thank our teachers and mentors who guide us in achieving our aims. He makes us realize the value of education as he said, “The end product of education should be a free creative man, who can battle against historical circumstances and adversities of nature”.
