Hindu Mahasabha celebrates Gandhiji's death anniversary

January 30, 2016

Meerut, Jan 30: Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha celebrated Mahatma Gandhi's assassination by distributing sweets on his death anniversary on January 30 at its Meerut office on Saturday. Workers of the Hindutva group danced to the tunes of drum and Bollywood songs outside its office.This comes days after its workers observed Republic Day as 'black day' and protested against the Indian Constitution.

"We celebrate the fact that this country's hero Nathuram Godse eliminated Gandhi on this very day in 1948. Every year we distribute sweets, hire professional bands and invite people to dance to express our happiness at Gandhi's killing," said Pandit Ashok Sharma, national vice president of Hindu Mahasabha.

Pandit Sharma, a man in his late seventies told this correspondent that Hindutva activists treated January 30, the day Gandhiji was killed, as a "festival".

He proudly declared that India is a "Hindu Rashtra" and Godse should be its "hero" and not Gandhiji.

At the occasion he also eulogised and paid homage to Nathuram Godse, the "martyr" who "wanted to save India from Gandhi and from his proposal of partition."

Pandit Sharma, an old associate of Hindu Mahasbaha argued that Gandhiji had no followers and the entire country was follower of Nathuram Godse.

"In reality Gandhi has no followers in the country he thought he fought for. Entire India is actually inspired by the ideas of Nathuram Godse. You tell me who extends his/her next cheek after being slapped, as Gandhi asked people to do?" He proudly posed the question to this correspondent in order to substantiate his argument.

Last year, Hindu Mahasabha was ready with a statue of Godse to build a temple for him on January 30 at its offices across the country. It organised "bhumi pujan" for the temple but the respective state governments sealed the offices to prevent the Hindutva body from installing the statue last year.

Like Sharma, Bharat Rajput the district president of the Hindutva body, is also an old Hindu Mahasabha hand who has been "actively taking up Hindutva causes."

Mr. Rajput had a piece of news for the Government of India. "We wanted to install a bust of Nathuram Godse in our offices so that his followers can come and pay homage to him. I want to tell the government that one day we will build the temple for Godse and nobody can stop us," he said.

For both Pandit Sharma and Mr. Rajput the larger goal is to "officially declare" India a "Hindu Rashtra".

"We do not believe in the idea of a secular Constitution. When India officially declares itself a Hindu Rashtra, Godse will be declared its hero and Gandhi's assassination would be declared a national festival," Pandit Sharma said.

Hi,

what is going on in India and what is the govt/police doing there ,no action still.

They should punished and this organistation should be banned .

NOW HINDU MAHASABHA IS SHOWING ITS TRUE FACE.

\KILLERS OF MAHATHMA GANDHI\"

FROM WHICH ANGLE GODSE FOUGHT WITH BRITISH, INSTEAD RSS AND OTHER OUTFITS WERE SLEEPING UNDER THE COMMAND OF BRITISH RAJ."

It's the Hindu Maha Sabha who projected the two (separate)national theory years before Jinna raise his voice for Pakistan.

Without the blessings of NAMO this glorification for a assassinator of father of nation is not possible. What the RSS and Hindu Mahasabha has contributed for freedom of India every body knows.

For Sangh Parivar, only opposition to hanging of Yaqoob Memon is anti-national.

Something wrong is happening. In the world the IS. In India people like Hindu Saba. Let us prayto God for making people more human.Ghandiji is the modal for Indians. He is the great.

Hindu Mahasabha is hailing a terrorist as hero and martyr and no one is calling it anti-national. Why this discrimination? PM giving support to them?

Sorry to hear this happening in India. Its all happening because of non available Feku PM

coastaldigest.com news network

February 23,2020

Mangalore University has been participating in the campus bird count a sub-event of ‘Great backyard bird count’ (GBBC) organized by Bird Count India for the past 5 years. This year, CBC was held from 14th to 17th February of 2020 across various campuses in India.

This year the four days event was successfully ended up with the sightings of 103 species of birds from various locations across the campus spread on 300 acres. In this Black Drongo, Black Kite, Brahminy Kite, Common Iora, Green Wabler, Purple-rumed Sunbird, Red-whiskered Bulbul, White-cheeked Barbet, Jungle Babbler and Plum headed parakeets were the common birds, and also observed House Crow with nest and nestlings, Indian Robin nest with eggs, Bronzed Drongo constructing the nest and Shikra mating and carrying nesting materials. Whereas Yellow-billed Babbler is rare in the campus, Ashy Drongo, Barn Swallow, Booted Eagle, Grey Wagtail, Indian Pitta etc. were migratory birds, Grey-headed Bulbul (Near Threatened bird), Rufous Babbler and Grey-headed Bulbul were Western Ghats Endemics and Brown Wood Owl, Barn Owl, Spotted Owlet, Nightjars (Savanna, Indian and Jerdon’s) and Sri Lanka Frogmouth were nocturnal birds. Blue-eared Kingfisher Grey-bellied Cuckoo which was very rare and new additions to avian list of the campus.

In the first year (2016) of Mangalore University’s CBC recorded 77 species, in 2017 recorded 95 species, in 2018 recorded 110 species and in 2019 recorded 107 species of birds. However some of the common species like Rose ringed parakeets, Blue tailed bee-eater, Nilgiri Flowerpecker and Indian roller etc., sighted last year were not seen this year. But with 2 new additions from this CBC, the checklist of Mangalore University Campus has been updated with a total of 141 species.

This event was coordinated by Vivek Hasyagar from the Department of Applied Zoology and Maxim Rodrigues from the Department of Marine Geology. Survey trails were led by more than 60 students and research scholars from various Departments of Mangalore University includes Applied Zoology, Biosciences, Microbiology, Botany, Physics, Chemistry and Material Science. In addition, some enthusiastic participants from St. Aloysius College had involved in identifying the birds around the campus.

Quote:

Wild/planned fire affects negatively on the existing ecologically sensitive areas in and around the campus especially in lateritic grasslands. Because many insectivorous birds are dependent on these lateritic grassland habitats for their food and breeding grounds for many ground dwelling birds like Yellow wattled lapwing, Red wattled lapwing, Indian Robin and Barred buttonquails. Conserving these habitats will be helpful in protecting these birds.

Quotes from the participants: “The Campus Bird Count 2020 at Mangalore University was an experience of its own kind. Observing birds in their natural habitat gave me new perspective of viewing them not only as another living being, but as equals, or even of higher intelligence. The Campus Bird Count is an important step towards documenting bird life year after year, and creating awareness amongst youngsters, so that proper conservation steps can be taken to protect them from human interference”.
