Happy Republic Day --Gantantra Divas ki shubh kamnayain!!

[Ruag]

Happy Republic Day fellow countrymen!

Would like to share Tagore's Geetanjali -

"Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been
broken up into fragments by
narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from
the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches
its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the dreary
desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is lead forward by thee
into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,
let my country awake."


Let us also spare a moment to remember and honor Shri B.R. Ambedkar, the father of our constitution, and all the men and women who gave their lives defending this great Republic.

And lastly, Jai Hind!

Sorry Mazubair , I blew on your bubble , and guess what, it got busted..lol

SRINAGAR, JAN.26. For the first time in 15 years the Republic Day celebrations went off peacefully in Kashmir Valley.
Though the participation of people was low as a strike disrupted normal life, not a single violent incident was reported due to tight security.

At the Bakhshi Stadium here, the Finance Minister, Muzaffar Hussain Baig, unfurled the tricolour and took the salute at the march past. Criticising separatist leaders, he said they were sabotaging the democratic process in the State.

Without naming the Hurriyat leaders, Mr. Baig said: "Those who live in security are harassing and intimidating people and asking them not to be part of the democratic process." Criticising their stand on elections, he said the local bodies' elections were not being held for resolving the Kashmir issue but for the uplift of the people.

Appealing to the people of Srinagar city to come out in large numbers and participate in the civic polls, he said that this was a historic opportunity after more than two decades to elect their representatives for solving local problems.

Mr. Baig said the Government led by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed has adopted a policy, which was in consonance with the democratic norms and aimed at providing relief on the social, economic and political fronts. This policy, which was well-received at the national level, came to be known as "healing touch policy."

New era


Despite some clouds hovering over the Indo-Pakistan political scenario, the time was not far off when both the countries will move closer, he asserted adding that a new era of friendship and stability will dawn in the subcontinent and the people of Jammu & Kashmir benefiting the most.

A three-tier security blanket was thrown around the Bakshi Stadium, in view of the recent fidayeen attacks by the militants, particularly in the vicinity of the stadium, said the Inspector-General of Police, Kashmir zone, Javaid Mukhdoomi.

Indians in Kazakhstan celebrate 61st Republic Day in sub-zero temperatures

Astana (Kazakhstan), jan.26 (ANI): The 61st Republic Day of India was celebrated with fervour and enthusiasm in Kazakhstan capital Astana on Tuesday.

The programme commenced with the hoisting of the national flag by Ambassador of India to Kazakhstan, Ashok Sajjanhar at the embassy residence.


Notwithstanding the fact that the temperature was ranging around -31:C, the ceremony was attended by a large cross-section of people including members of the Indian community, friends
and supporters of India as well as officials of the Indian Embassy. The flag hoisting was followed by the National Anthem sung by all the people gathered for the ceremony and a few patriotic songs rendered by the ladies of the Embassy.

This was followed by a brief address by Ambassador Sajjanhar in the living room of the residence.

Ambassador Sajjanhar recounted the rapid strides that relations between India and Kazakhstan have taken over the last one year.

The highlight was the visit of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev to India as the chief guest for the country's 60th Republic Day celebrations in January 2009.

Ambassador Sajjanhar said this decision reflected the warmth and respect that the people and leadership of India have for President Nazarbayev as well as for the people of Kazakhstan.

It was decided during the visit to upgrade the level of bilateral relations to strategic partnership, he said, adding that the embassy also organised several events over this period to further deepen and diversify engagement between the two countries.

Ambassador Sajjanhar's address was followed by the recorded address of the President of India to the nation delivered on the eve of the Republic Day. This was followed by refreshments and traditional Indian snacks.

Celebration of the Republic Day inspite of the severity of the weather conditions helped the members of the Indian community to meet, interact and socialise with each other in a happy and joyous atmosphere.(ANI)

Jai Hind
