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.

Only asymptomatic Indians cleared by UAE health authorities to fly back home: Embassy

News Network

May 6,2020

Dubai, May 6: The Indian nationals cleared by the UAE health authorities and found to be asymptomatic will only be allowed to fly back home in one of India's biggest ever repatriation exercises, the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi has said ahead of the first set of flights on Thursday.

On Monday, the Indian government announced plans to begin a phased repatriation of its citizens stranded abroad from May 7. Air India will operate 64 flights from May 7 to May 13 to bring back around 15,000 Indian nationals stranded abroad amid the COVID-19-induced lockdown, India's Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Tuesday.

The first two special flights that will operate from Thursday to evacuate Indians stranded in the UAE due to the coronavirus pandemic will begin with applicants from Kerala, who formed the majority of the expatriates who have registered to be repatriated from here, Indian Ambassador to the UAE Pavan Kapoor has said.

"All departing passengers will have to undergo medical screening and IGM/IGG test at the departure airport and only those cleared by the UAE health authorities and found to be asymptomatic will be allowed to board the plane,” the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi said on Tuesday.

According to the embassy, all passengers will be required to sign an undertaking to undergo compulsory quarantine at the destination of arrival and bear the cost of the same.

“Each passenger, at the time of boarding would be handed over a safety kit containing 2 three-layered face masks, 2 pairs of gloves and pouches/small bottles of hand sanitizers. While on board the flight, the health protocol of the Ministry of Civil Aviation of India will be strictly followed,” said the embassy.

The passenger lists for the two flights on May 7 have been finalised by the Embassy / Consulate and sent to Air India Express for issue of tickets.

The Embassy / Consulate will continue conveying the details of further special flights as and when they are announced by the Government of India, over the next few days.

Less than 2,000 Indians wishing to return home from the UAE will be flown to six Indian states in the first week of India’s biggest ever repatriation exercise named Vande Bharat Mission—sans social distancing and COVID-19 tests, the Gulf News reported.

Only those cleared by the UAE health authorities and found to be asymptomatic will be allowed to board the plane.

The short-listed applicants, who were contacted by the Indian missions on Tuesday to purchase tickets for the first two flights to Kerala on Thursday, told the Gulf News that the tickets are priced around Dh 725 to Dh 750 (over Rs 15,000).

Sharjah resident Rasheed Thayyil said his 70-year-old mother Nepheeza Thottungal, who came on a visit to the UAE in February, received an email from the Indian Consulate in Dubai which quoted an airfare of around Dh725 (approx Rs 15,000), the report said.

Another applicant from Abu Dhabi Ambily Babu said she purchased a ticket at Dh 750 from Air India Express for her Abu Dhabi-Kochi flight scheduled to fly on Thursday evening, it said.

Air India Express which is set to operate the first two flights to Kerala on Thursday will operate its Boeing 737-800 aircraft, with a seating capacity of 186 economy class seats, the report added.

With nine seats reserved for isolation, only 177 passengers would be flown, it said.

The Indian expatriate community of approximately 3.42 million is reportedly the largest ethnic community in the UAE constituting roughly about 30 per cent of the country's population, according to information available on the Indian Embassy website.
