Aatma Nirbhar Bharat - A Superpower in Making



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. We are fortunate to witness and experience things changing for the better. 



'Atma nirbhar Bharat' does not tell us to leave the world and take care only of our people. It is about adopting the usage of swadesi (home-grown/indigenous) goods & services as much as possible. The initiative is built with a purpose to make India powerful. So powerful that the world looks up to us for the best.

The security forces, which always pioneer good practices, have once again decided to set an example. The paramilitary canteens will sell only made in India products from 1 June 2020. Many others will increase Made In India products' selling & usage, and some others will Make in India, afresh & more. 

The programme has more future benefits than we can anticipate. For now, concentrating on the present, we should participate in this in the best of our capacities. By being Vocal for Local, we, as a nation, plan to connect to the Global. 'Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam' (the world is one family) shall always be a shinning element of our eternal value system.

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...

'In adverse situations, we have to fight our way through all the difficulties. The first trait of a man is courage which gives birth to all other things. ' - Golwalkar Guruji ... Corona pandemic has literally got humanity under its grip. The big MNCs are getting closed, markets are tumbling, casual labourers are on their  own and most importantly for a common man it's a complete lockdown! This is arguably 'the most difficult phase in the modern world."  While it's panic all over and grievous worrisome faces peeping over digital screens urging their loved ones to stay at home, there are people rightfully called the 'swayamsevaks' of RSS who are tirelessly and selflessly working round the clock for the needy. 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...
