A glimpse of Sant convention: ‘Modi is avatar of Ram; courts are anti-temple; no more dialogue’

Newsroom, Nov 4: As part of Sangh Parivar’s preparation for 2019 Lok Sabha polls, a two-day convention of Akhil Bharatiya Sant Samiti has dropped hints of an undemocratic agitation in the name of Ram Mandir. The convention was held on Saturday and Sunday in the national capital days after the RSS said the government should acquire land and hand it over for construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya.

While one of the speakers called Prime Minister Narendra Modi “an incarnation of Lord Ram”, another said the judiciary won’t be of help as it was full of “anti-temple people”.

Swami Chinmayananda, who was a Union minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, said “the possibility of any peace talk or dialogue with the opposite parties has ended”.

Jain muni Guptisagar, from Haryana, said, “Jo Ram ka nahin woh mere kisi kaam ka nahin (The one who doesn’t care for Ram is of no use to me).” Mentioning the PM directly, he said, “Modiji sansad mein sachcha parvan chahiye, 56-inch seene walon ka samvidhan chahiye (Modiji, we need a truthful testimony in Parliament, a sign of resolve from those with 56-inch chests).”

Guptisagar added that the judiciary would not allow a temple because anti-temple people were sitting there for the past 70 years.

Swami Pragyanand of Uttarakhand urged that Ram temple in Ayodhya be built on the lines of Gujarat’s Somnath temple. “We should here today force a commitment from the Modi government to ensure that a Ram temple is built at Ram Janmabhoomi.”

Swami Vivekanandji Maharaj said there couldn’t be a more ideal situation to ensure this than having “Ram bhakt Narendra Modi” as the PM and another “Ram bhakt”, Yogi Adityanath, as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. “I feel that in devotion, Modiji is the incarnation of Lord Ram. If Ram temples are not built in his regime, it would be surprising.”

Swami Jitendranand Saraswati, who came from Vrindavan and is the national general secretary of the All India Sant Samiti, said if Muslims continued to have Sharia courts, the Sant Samiti would introduce “kesariya (saffron)” courts, adding that it was “not the responsibility of Hindus alone to follow the Constitution”. Saraswati added that they were right to ask the judge who gave the order on the temple about his priorities as “he was serving as a judge on salary is given from public money”.

Swami Chinmayanand said “the historic mandate” that the BJP had got in 2014 “should not go in vain”, and that if no decision was taken on Ram temple, it would create a crisis in society’s faith in the RSS and BJP.

Dabba, hartal, shaadi, aadhaar make it to Oxford dictionary

News Network

January 25,2020

New Delhi, Jan 25: The latest edition of the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary features 26 new Indian English words, including Aadhaar, chawl, dabba, hartal and shaadi.

The 10th edition of the dictionary, which was launched on Friday, has 384 Indian English words and incorporates over 1,000 new words such as chatbot, fake news and microplastic.

The dictionary focuses on language change and its evolution through the years, and has ensured that the language and examples used in the new edition are relevant and up to date with the times, Oxford University Press (OUP) said.

The new edition comes with interactive online support through the Oxford Learner's Dictionaries website and an app. The website includes advanced features such as audio-video tutorials, video walkthroughs, self-study activities and enhanced iWriter and iSpeaker tools.

"This edition has 26 new Indian English words of which 22 figure in the printed dictionary. The other four are in the digital version," said Fathima Dada, Managing Director (Education Division) at OUP.

Some of other new Indian words in the dictionary are auntie (while aunty already figures in the English dictionary, auntie is an Indianism), bus stand, deemed university, FIR, non-veg, redressal, tempo, tube light, veg and videograph.

The four new Indian English words in the online version of the dictionary are current (for electricity), looter, looting and upazila (one of the areas that a district is divided into for administration purposes).

According to OUP, the new edition provides better, more accurate and understandable definitions with examples, usage notes and additional resources to help the learner use the right word in the right context.

"Prevalence and common usage are the main criteria for enlisting new words. We scan the globe for words which are often used by people while speaking English. Then these words go through a rigorous testing process," Dada said.

"As OUP is the custodian of English language globally, these words have to go through its processes," she told PTI.

The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, she said, has been reinventing itself for nearly eight decades, anticipating the growing learning requirements of learners.

"The 10th edition also is equipped with a strong digital support system, including an app," she said.

It is equipped with several digital tools. With iSpeaker, learners can get help preparing for speaking exams and presentations. With iWriter, learners can plan, write and review their written work. Text Checker allows the teacher to check any text against the Oxford 3000, 5000, and OPAL (Oxford Phrasal Academic Lexicon) written word list.

Resources accessible through online premium access include lesson plans, worksheets, video walkthroughs, and classroom and self-study activities. With the OALD app one can find 86,000 words, 95,000 phrases, 112,000 meanings and 237,000 examples.

The dictionary, which spans 77 years, was originally published in Japan in 1942 and was first brought out by OUP in 1948. The learner's dictionary is based on the original values of its creator, Albert Sydney Hornby, whose aim was to help language learners worldwide understand the meaning of English words.

Many disgruntled BJP leaders met me: Siddaramaiah

News Network

June 4,2020

Bengaluru, Jun 4: Karnataka opposition leader Siddaramaiah created a flutter on Wednesday saying many disgruntled BJP leaders had met him.

"Many disgruntled BJP lawmakers have met me and, of course, expressed their displeasure," tweeted Siddaramaiah.

Congress leader Siddaramaiah''s statements assume significance as recently several reports emerged highlighting some north Karnataka legislators meeting over dinner to put pressure on Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa to expand the cabinet and offer them ministerial roles.

North Karnataka leaders such as Umesh V. Katti, Chitradurga MLA G. H. Thippareddy and Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal and others met over dinner.

However, the Chief Minister said he was too busy to even look at the dissidence because he is occupied with development work of the state and fighting Covid.

Siddaramaiah, the former chief minister, alleged that Yediyurappa''s son Vijayendra is functioning as a non-constitutional chief minister.

"This is true in the BJP. That dissent will continue. We are not responsible if the government collapses," he pointed out.

The Congress leader said Karnataka has stooped to the level of not being in a position to even pay salaries to its employees.

"The state was the first in economic discipline during our government. Now the government has no money to pay salaries to government employees. Not only the state but the entire country is financially bankrupt," he said.
