Foreigners ruled India for over 15 centuries; only British destroyed the country: RSS chief

Mangaluru, Mar 28: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) supremo Mohan M Bhagwat has embarrassed the saffronist historians by admitting that the British had destroyed India and not Muslims.

“Though India was under foreign rule for over 15 centuries, no one except the British had destroyed the very foundation of the country, starting from economy to administration and finally the education system,” said the Sarsanghchalak.

He was speaking after inaugurating the Ardha Mandala (24 years) celebrations of RSS-run Maitreye Gurukula at Kodangayi Moorukaje near Vittal in Bantwal taluk near here.

He said that Indian system of education is one of the best systems of education. “Gurukula system of education creates awareness on 'dharma' (righteousness). It teaches a life without selfish motive. The motive of education is to live for all and not for self. Such system of education should spread everywhere," he felt.

Bhagwat said India has many things to give to others thus deserving to become the Vishwa Guru while it does not need much from others. People everywhere have recognised the role of Guru, the teacher in education indirectly acknowledging the importance of Gurukula system.

While many did not get enough time to deliberate over the education system after Independence, now time has come to revisit traditional system of education that primarily aimed at making a human being, he said.

"Education is essential for a human being. Along with knowledge on science, one should have spiritual education. Teaching to smuggle is not an education. Teaching anti-national activities is against the motive of education. There has been an increase in teaching anti-national activities in the country which is a tragedy," he said.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar of Art of Living said, "We need both modern and ancient knowledge. Patriotism and love for 'dharma' are like two faces of the same coin. There is a need to inculcate patriotism in young minds. Pranayama, Yoga and reciting mantras help in rejuvenating vagus nerve." Adichunchanagiri Mahasamsthana pontiff Sri Nirmalananda Swami was also present.

Bagass which religion name you talking about, HINDU

 

the name is given by ARAB Muslim to your people including me.

 

say thanks for muslim.

 

HINDU mean not the people who worship stone, its the people of india who lives there

 

" people who worship stone will be be throwen to hell fire forever"

making business by taking GOD name is the worst person and never get mercy from GOD.

quran syas spend you money on poor people not on stone.

those people who bring maximum benifit to mankind will be loved by GOD as well as he show mercy on the day of judgement irrespective of religion.

Slip of the tongue. Some times truth comes out even without knowing. As happened to Mr. Amit Shah while mentioning about the corrupt government. Poor guy.

Bengaluru, Jul 25: The Karnataka government on Saturday announced a waiver of crematorium fees for those who succumb to the COVID-19 infection in Bengaluru and said the city civic body would bear the cost.

It said that from now on, families of the COVID deceased need not pay any fees fixed by the city civic body- Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP)- across 12 electric crematoriums in the city.

"There were reports in the media about difficulties faced in performing the last rites of those who died due to COVID-19 infections. Aimed at resolving those difficulties, certain decisions have been taken," Revenue Minister R Ashoka said.

He told reporters here that BBMP had fixed Rs 250 as the cremation fee, Rs 100 for the ash collection pot and Rs 900 for the bier (bamboo stretcher on which the body is carried), all of which have been waived for COVID deaths.

"So it will be a waiver of Rs 1,250 per cremation. The BBMP will bear this cost," he added.

Ashoka also announced Rs 500 per body incentive for the personnel who conduct the last rites of COVID victims.

"This is in recognition of their services at a time when family members of the deceased are not ready to touch the body and not ready to take the body in some cases," he said.

Noting that the government has identified 23 acres of land at five places around Bengaluru for burial or cremation of COVID victims, Ashoka locals in all these areas are protesting against it.

Appealing to the people for cooperation during these difficult times, he said the government's intention was to ensure respectful burial or cremation for the deceased.

"Obstructing it is not right, it is not Indian tradition," he said.

Pointing out that it takes almost a day's time for a COVID victim's body to be handed over for burial or cremation, he said "scientifically, according to experts and doctors, the virus will not remain alive for more than three hours.

...Also, bodies are either burnt or buried eight feet below. So there will not be any problem for those living in nearby areas and it will not spread infection. Cooperate with humanity," he said.

"These lands identified are for all religions and communities and once the pandemic subsides, can be used for other deaths as well," he said.

Bengaluru, July 28: Former prime minister and JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda today threatened to launch a state-wide agitation in against the amendments made to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act.

Gowda’s opposition to the new law comes even as Congress leader Siddaramaiah is also doggedly pursuing it.

Demanding that the state government immediately rollback the ordinance empowering these amendments, the octogenarian leader said he personally would take to streets if the government failed to budge.

The B S Yediyurappa government has liberalised the land reforms law by removing restrictions on non-agriculturists from purchasing and owning farm lands.

The government has also amended the APMC Act and has tweaked labour laws, which are all “against the interest of the state and must be rolled back,” Gowda said.

Speaking to reporters here, Gowda stated that he had already written thrice to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in this regard. "The ordinances have to be taken back. The amendments to Karnataka Land Reforms Act, by repealing sections 79-A, B and C, is an anti-farmer move. The APMC Act amendment, too, is against the interest of the state. The government has failed to speak about the impact of these amendments," said Gowda, who is now a Rajya Sabha member.

Elaborating on the amendment to the Land Reform Act, the JD(S) patriarch opined that by throwing open agricultural land ownership to anybody at all, the government was only helping real estate developers while pushing farmers into a “vulnerable” situation.

Amidst all this, there are now reports of funds misappropriation in Covid-19 relief measures and in procurement of medical equipment, he said, adding that it seemed like only the corrupt became stronger over time.

Further, Gowda lambasted both national parties for creating political unrest, referring to the ongoing political crisis in Rajasthan and the recent developments in Madhya Pradesh. However, he added that he would not wish to dwell on it much, while emphasising that his focus was primarily on strengthening his own party at this point in time.
