Udupi, Nov 26: A senior seer from Kashi, who was one of the guests at the Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s Dharma Sansad in Udupi, has called upon the Hindus to keep weapons with them always rather than mobile phones.
Speaking at a session on the final day of the Dharma Sansad, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swami Narendranand Saraswati Maharaj said that carrying weapons is need of the hour for Hindus.
“Those spending Rs 1 lakh on purchasing a mobile telephone did not even have a weapon of Rs. 10,000 with them. You should keep some weapons for your defence,” the seer exhorted the Hindus.
He said that those opposing the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya should leave the country. He also said that those who were questioning RSS Sarsanghachalak Mohan Bhagawat on Ayodhya were traitors.
The seer urged the government to consider those who are fighting for the cause of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya as freedom fighters and provide pension for them.

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.

What kind of saint/swamy is he, provoking weapons!!!
HINDU Terrorists
Killing Father Of The Nation King Of Non Voilation "Mahathama Gandhi" now become a patriot. What a funny policy from these so called RSS brahmins. What ever they may say tthey may convict so no action is they ready to touch other caste people or they willing to eat togehter.
Now these so called saghi swamijis appealing to carry weapons what is their intention. Let them to carry first; let the brahmins carry the weapons first and play blood shed i/o insisting other caste peopole.
They will never come in front to all these criminal activities. Peoples are educated and able to under stand their religions.
If they continue with same cruel comments, sure they will face back lash very soon.
Reason criminal activity blood shed never written in any Hindu religious script. Only the book from RSS invite people for killing.
Hahahahaa.Terrorist Swami.
