Aatma Nirbhar Bharat - A Superpower in Making

Image
While the nation was preparing for  lockdown 4.0 , our honourable PM announced the  Aatma Nirbhar Bharat  and the complete support that the government would offer for the scheme. While the world is, together, trying to cope up with the pandemic, such programmes become the shining ray of hope for all.  'Jahan daal daal par sone ki chidiya karti hai basera, woh Bharat desh hai mera'.  We can hear this melody in our minds, even today, with positive goosebumps telling us not to lose hope. What do these lines portray? They portray an India enriched with all resources. They tell us about the glory of a nation that displayed self-reliance most beautifully.  The idea of 'atma nirbharta' which means self-reliance was a part of our culture, always. And along with that power, our culture has taught us about the all-inclusive system of society. Reviving the best practices in our culture is a task of great responsibility.

By taking proper preventive care these souls are busy distributing everything essential to human existence from food to medicines. Working outside the glare of the media this very tacit but passionately stubborn lot has shown the way...

Unity (in Calamity) is (a greater) Strength

One of the world's oldest civilisations, the land of a beautiful melange of beliefs and faiths - India, has seen an evolution of every kind since time immemorial. We, as a nation, a 'human setup', have experienced and seen reality stranger than fiction. Places have 'past'; we have ‘history'. Innumerable invasions, attacks on every possible element of our culture have been recorded. What makes a nation of millions still stand together, head held high with faith and pride?  Iranian leader Baháʼu'lláh says,  So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth . India has bravely displayed this power time and again. United, we have always stood. We, as a system of the human population, we as Indians, are the 'living example' of the words 'unity is strength'. The way we come together to be there for each other, in times of crisis, is commendable.  Charles Darwin says, It is not the strongest of the species that s...
