Produce 10 kids before provoking Hindus: Kejriwal tells Mohan Bhagwat

New Delhi, Aug 22: Arvind Kejriwal today attacked Mohan Bhagwat for his suggestion that Hindu couples should have more children, asking the RSS chief to produce "10 kids" himself first and make sure they are "brought up well".

"Before provoking Hindus, Mohan Bhagwat should produce 10 babies himself and bring them up well," the Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi Chief Minister tweeted today.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which Bhagwat currently heads, encourages its members to be celibates.

Responding to a question at an event in Agra last weekend, Bhagwat had said, "Which law says that the population of Hindus should not rise? There is nothing like that. What is stopping them when population of others is rising? The issue is not related to the system. It is because the social environment is like this."

Bhagwat was speaking at a RSS-held programme where teachers from 11 west Uttar Pradesh districts participated. He made the statement after a participant there asked him to speak on the alleged decline in Hindu population.

The audience at the RSS event included university teachers, academics, and a large number teachers from schools in Agra and neighbouring districts.

Earlier today, BJP ally Shiv Sena also termed Bhagwat's comments on declining Hindu population as "outdated" and asked the Centre to implement uniform civil code to maintain "social and cultural balance".

"Mohan Bhagwat has tried to present outdated thoughts in a modern way. His remarks will not be accepted by progressive Hindu community. Also, PM Modi would not agree that increasing Hindu population is the right way to counter growing Muslim population," an editorial in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana' said.

"The government is spending a lot of money on family planning. A rise in Muslim population will undoubtedly affect the social and cultural balance of the country, but asking Hindus to have more children is no solution to the problem. The only solution is to implement the uniform civil code to cap the population of all communities. If Hindus give birth to more children, problems like hunger, unemployment and inflation will only increase," the Sena said.

Sena also sought to know if Bhagwat was discreetly trying to back the idea of Hindus having more than one spouse to boost the population of the community.

The Congress has also attacked Bhagwat, saying "what else could be expected from him."

"Woh Dharm ki hi khaate hain. Woh aur kya baat karenge," (He banks on religion only, what else he can say)," Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said on Sunday.

"In every statement Bhagwat talks of dividing (society). He should have talked about employment, price rise but he didn't do so," Azad added.

If you don't want to follow any religion, it is upto you.
But at least follow what you easily understand and agree.

Islam says the food comes for you and your children from your creator the ONE & ONLY GOD. This is the faith of Muslims.

Muslims have multiple children and their standard of life or economy is not at all diminishing.

See China, the worlds highest populated country, and it is the fastest growing economy.

Where does your theory work. Read and follow Quran, though you remain in your own religion. Once 100% satisfied then take wise decision what to follow.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: Education technology company Byju’s is learnt to have raised $200 million in a funding round from Tiger Global Management, which has valued the Bengaluru-based start-up at around $8 billion, making it the third-largest unicorn (start-up valued over $1 billion) in the country.

With this, the Byju Raveendran-founded company has seen over 50 per cent jump in its valuation in just around nine months. In March 2019, Byju’s was valued $5.4 billion, when it raised around $31 million from General Atlantic, and Chinese investment giant Tencent.

At the current valuation, Byju’s has now replaced home-grown cab-hailing major Ola as the third-largest unicorn, next only to Paytm and OYO, which are valued around $16 billion and $10 billion, respectively.

Byju’s confirmed the transaction through a press statement, though the company declined to share any specific details of the deal. Tiger Global could not be immediately reached for its comments.

“We are happy to partner with a strong investor like Tiger Global Management. They share our sense of purpose and this partnership will advance our long-term vision of creating an impact by changing the way students learn,” said Raveendran. “This partnership is both a validation of the impact created by us so far and a vote of confidence for our long-term vision.”

This is Tiger Global’s first investment in the edutech space in India after Vendantu, an online tutoring platform, where it, along with WestBridge Capital, led a $42-million round in August.

An early backer of India’s internet growth story, the New York-headquartered Tiger Global has been a prolific investor in the Indian start-up space. Its portfolio in the country ranges from consumer focused e-commerce companies that are vital for the growth of the sector, such as Flipkart, Delhivery, Grofers, Quikr and PolicyBazaar, to mention a few.

After tasting success with Flipkart, one of its earliest investments, where it had pumped in around $1 billion, the PE major is now doubling down its focus on the Indian start-up space, under its new investment head Scott Shleifer.

Shleifer, who set up international private equity practice for Tiger Global, is said to be as aggressive deal maker like his predecessor Lee Fixel, who left the investment firm in March. Since then, Tiger has also invested in a host of technology-focused companies in diverse sectors including Ninjacart, CRED, NoBroker and Facilio to mention a few.

“Byju’s has emerged as the leader in the Indian education-tech sector. They are pioneering technology shaping the future of learning for millions of school students in India,” Shleifer was quoted in the press statement issued by the edutech firm.

Udupi, Feb 23: Karnataka's minister for Tourism and Culture CT Ravi on Sunday said that India is losing money as because people travel abroad to visit casinos.

Arguing that casinos are being used by countries to promote tourism, he took to Twitter to highlight the issue, saying, "During my interaction with FKCCI, I had mentioned that many countries have promoted Tourism through Casinos. Isn't it a fact that lakhs of Indians go abroad to play in Casinos? Can anyone stop them? At the moment, there is no proposal before Our Govt to set up Casinos here,' he tweeted in the morning.

He also urged the Central government to stop people from visiting abroad.

Yesterday, the minister had stated that he has no intention of developing "casino tourism" in the state.

"I only expressed my opinion on how other countries have promoted tourism, during a discussion. Casino tourism is one such thing, I have no intention of developing it here," Ravi had told media when asked to comment on Karnataka government's proposal of casinos in Coastal Karnataka.

"What I meant was many Indians go and spend there, our money should be spent here itself," he had said.
