On 15^th of August, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced about one of the path breaking campaign to empower youth of India- ‘Start Up India Stand Up India’.

This program is aimed at  financing for start-up ventures and offer incentives to boost entrepreneurship and job creation.

The action plan of this campaign will be unveiled on 16 January 2016.

As per PM Modi this campaign will bring a big opportunity for young people across the country not only in manufacturing and service sector but also in small scale and agriculture.

He also said the programme will be designed as per Indian conditions and focus would be on ensuring benefits for the youth from the lowest strata of the society. The initiative will be connected with IITs, IIMs, central universities and NITs as well.

Below are some important pointers related to the campaign :

1. What Will Be The Benefits For The Young And Budding Entrepreneurs?

These benefits will be in the form of a reduction in the excess of compliances that is needed to set up business, immediate approvals, easier finance and tax break.

2. Who Will Get A Chance?

• Entrepreneurs who have innovative ideas and have unique product are eligible for the benefits.
• If some youth develops something which is innovative and can help masses or make a poor laborer’s life comfortable then he would ask financial institutions to help such people.
• There will be a panel to decide which start up will be given the facilities and there would be an inter-ministerial body to oversee proposals.

2. This campaign is for all and not just for city’s youth.

PM Modi said that youth with capabilities are all over India and it will be wrong to say that they can be found in cities only. And that’s why this program will not limited to few cities or places but aims to make it Pan India.

He added, “Youth in every corner of India have talent, they only need opportunity. This ‘Start up India, Stand up India’ should not be limited to a few cities. It should reach every corner of India,”

3. This Project Will Be Help Differently-abled Entrepreneurs Too.

During the latest Man Ki Baat program he mentioned that initiative is also for disabled people. He has coined new term called “Divyang” which means people with extra ordinary skills

He believed that most of the times it has been seen that differently- abled people have great capabilities than normal people.

4. Also Eyeing To Aid Adivasis/Dalits/Women Entrepreneurs As Well.

PM Modi also mentioned in the speech that “Start-Up India” initiative will also encourage atat least one Dalit or Adivasi entrepreneur, and at least one woman entrepreneur and each of 1.25 lakh bank branches for the same will aid them.

5. This initiative is not confined to tech and IT but spreads to other sectors as well.

As per Modi, this initiative will be about IT or digital world but any innovation by commoner will be assisted to start their venture.

Right now India is among five largest start-up communities in the world and these start ups have created more than 80,000 jobs in India, as per NASSCOM.

We think that his proposition will boost entrepreneurship and job creation and can make India Start Up Capital in the world.

But we would also like to hear your views and suggestions on this imitative? What are your expectations?

Will this campaign help India to be number one Start up Nation? Will it actually help entrepreneurship and job opportunities?

Let us know your comments below.

Its hard to say goodbye especially if the person is PM Narendra Modi.

This is how probably every supporter of Modiji felt when he was about to leave Canada and headed back to India.

The Madison Square Part -2 was better than the ‘India day Celebrations’ in Canada. PM Modi leaves his mark where ever he visits, like gifting Bhagvad Gita to President Obama, International Yoga Day in United Nations and now the Canadian counterpart’s wife wears a saree for the function where PM Stephen Harper greets people on the festive occasion of Baisakhi and later visits a Gurudwara .

We wish the #MakeinIndia dream becomes a reality soon.

HELP !!!! We are being ATTACKED by Pakistani ………………………. Kabootars 😛

A few days back the Gujarat Coast Guards caught a Pakistani Intruder, a Pigeon, at the Vadinar Marine.

Apparently the Coast Guard had been tracking this Pigeon for quite a few days and they finally caught it when he stopped at the jetty to have a drink of water.

The Pigeon was carrying a chip in one leg with “Benjing Dual” written on it and a Ring in the other leg with the number “28733”. One word “Rasul-UL-Allah” was written on its wing in Arabic language!!!

Enough to send Alarm Signals flying all across the coast, which reached till the Home Ministry and Rajnath Singh.

Our PM, Modi has ensured that National Security forces were deployed quickly and the Pigeon was taken into custody, though it protested furiously by flapping its wings 😀

If our drunk sources are to be believed, the Pigeon was then thoroughly Strip Searched by the ATS 😛

No wonder Devyani Khobragade plans to take a Morcha against the ATS!!! 😀

While the Jury is still out on what to do with the Pigeon, there have been varied reactions from everyone, if my sources are to be believed (which no one does, not even me 😉

One faction of the Indian Govt has alleged that this is a Pakistani ISI Attack due to the Arabic words while another faction claims that it’s a Chinese Infiltration because “Benjing” sounds a lot of “Beijing” and “Dual” might mean a Double Agent …. hmmmm!!

Subramanian Swamy however, claims that the Pigeon was actually a Viraat Hindu who was first converted into a Christian (hence the ring) and then converted into a Muslim (hence the Arabic words).

The Christian Rights Group has started a big protest against the government demanding why only minority Pigeons are being targeted while all the Pigeons near Siddhivinayak Temple are allowed to roam around freely !!! 😛

MIM Leader Owaisi went and made a fiery speech declaring this act as an open targeting of the Muslims!!!

Across the border, Bilawal Bhutto, has taken a press conference and said “We will get back the Pigeon and We will get back Kashmir too”!!!

While the Press tried hard to not let their cameras fall off while laughing 😀 😀

Smriti Irani has, however, declared that the Arabic Words on the wings were very unpatriotic. She has ordered that all Pigeons who fly in India will be allowed to have only Sanskrit words written on them!!!!

She is also planning to declare one of these days as the National Sanskrit Kabootar Day in all the schools with mandatory optional attendance.

The last I heard, she was debating on whether she should have it on Good Friday or Easter 😛

Yogi Adityanath has demanded custody of the Pigeon as they would like to do its Ghar Wapsi.

No, No!!! He doesn’t want to strip the Pigeon off his Ring and Paint over the Arabic words and declare him a Hindu, He just wants to send the poor Pigeon back home!!! Why don’t you guys ever believe that Yogi Adityanath can do something good huh?? 😛

Disclaimer: This post is not meant to offend the Pigeons, in any manner. We don’t want them shitting on our head every time we walk out 😛 As for others who might be offended …. Section 66a is off, so take a hike 😀

In an era when religious conversions, community fights, terrorism and mass killings especially between Hindus and Muslims are on the upsurge, it is time we remember the contributions towards nationalism and Hindutva by a pro-independence activist, a politician, revolutionary, writer, poet and playwright, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar or Veer Savarkar, as he is popularly known. Basically, his philosophy on Hindutva is based on Indianness or the cultural identity of an Indian.

When people say “Shiva was the first Paigambar” or “all hindus are born muslims” and vice-a-versa then this is probably the correct time to define a Hindu and who can be a better person then Swatantra Veer Savarkar, the man who coined the term Hindutva for explaining the true meaning of being a Hindu.

Veer Savarkar

On his 49^th death anniversary today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has paid tribute to him, tweeting that “he ignited the spark of nationalism in several lives.” Savarkar was the person who had coined the term ‘Hindutva’, as different from Hinduism that has more or less become related to social as well as political communalism. He was actively involved in reconverting converted Hindus back to Hindu religion and also made significant contributions towards eradicating and deconstructing caste system that had then gripped Indians like a strong wave ready to clamp them tight.

Hindutva – The Definition of a Hindu

Savarkar’s Hindutva was based more on creating a collective identity that is all inclusive of being pragmatic and rationalistic, humane, positive, realistic – philosophies of utilitarianism and universalism. Who is a Hindu in reality? Well, according to him, a Hindu is an Indian who considers India, from the peaks of Himalaya to the shores of Kanyakumari and from the ports of Gujarat to the tea estates of Assam, as his motherland, birth-land, work-land and spiritual-land (matrubhoomi, janmbhoomi, karmabhoomi and dharmabhoomi). In his words, “everyone who regards and claims this Bharatbhoomi from the Indus to the Seas as his Fatherland and Holyland is a Hindu.

Savarkar’s works on Hindu Nationalism

He was the first to start writing poems on the walls of jail and recite them, when he was imprisoned for fifty years in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in 1910 because of his connections with the revolutionary group called, India House. His book, The Indian War of Independence on the Indian rebellion of 1857, the Mutiny war had been banned by the British officials. In 1921, at his release from jail, he was asked to follow the condition that he will not be attached with any revolutionary activities. However, he did advocate political and social unity as an orator and writer forcefully voicing out his opinions and philosophies across the country, particularly working as the President of the Akhil Bharati Hindu Mahasabha and making India a ‘Hindu Rashtra’, even going to the extent of opposing the ‘Quit India Movement’ in 1942, advocating for ‘Quit India Keep Your Army’ movement.

Difference between Savarkar’s Hindutva and Divisive religious ideologies

Even in jail Savarkar worked towards describing Hindutva and enthusiastically embraced the Hindu nationalism. His ideological treatise, Hindutva: Who is a Hindu? while in Ratnagiri jail is a testimony to his dedication towards bringing positive religious and spiritual changes in the country, much related to throwing light on the true scrupulous character of the human race. His vision of Hindutva defines social and political consciousness of a Hindu saying that he is a ‘patriotic inhabitant of Bharatvarsha’, much beyond a mere religious identity. He even went ahead to claim that Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism and Buddhism are all one and even focussed on social and patriotic unity among all these Hindu communities.  For him, the Hindu community or race is not restricted to Aryans or Dravidians but of “people who live as children of a common motherland, adoring a common holyland.”

He is even the founder of Ratnagiri Hindu Sabha, working towards the social and cultural preservation of Hindu heritage and civilization. He aggressively promoted the use of Hindi as a national language and even voiced out his opinion against untouchability.

How Savarkar is Being Perceived and His Philosophy on Hindu-Muslim Unity/Division

However, it is unfortunate that people have claimed his philosophies to be divisive and preaching Hindu nationalism as being uniquely Indian, stating that he preached “militant Hindu nationalist speeches.” This is so, even though the airport at Andaman and Nicobar Islands is dedicated to Savarkar as it has

been named Veer Savarkar International Airport. Many scholars, historians and even politicians (especially from the Indian National Congress) have even proclaimed that Savarkar has implicitly criticised and discriminated against minority communities such as those of Muslims and Christians. Savarkar argued that the unity and political loyalty of Muslims have been under the scanner for a long time. He rather was against the partition of countries for Hindus and Muslims: “the two nations shall dwell in one country and shall live under the mantle of one single constitution.” He proclaims one man one vote concept for Hindus and Muslims where “a Muslim has no advantage which a Hindu does not have. Minority is to be no justification for privilege and majority is to be no ground for penalty.”

People who have similar beliefs like Savarkar

In 2014, Goa’s Deputy Chief Minister, Francis D’Souza had to apologize for his statement where he proclaimed that “he is a Christian Hindu.” He, being a Christian had stated that India will become a Hindu nation and will remain so under the leadership of Narendra Modi. While referring to Hindu, he however claimed that by Hindu he did not mean religion but his culture, his values and nationalism and Christianity, being only 2000 years old is his religion only.

All said and done, the fact remains that both the Constitution and the Supreme Court have accepted Savarkar’s ideologies and principles on Hindutva as the true meaning and definition of a Hindu.

All those who consider India as there motherland are Hindu – Veer Savarkar! On your 49^th death anniversary, we bow to you and salute you for your immense and unparalleled contribution to Indian Independence movement and towards changing people’s stringent mind-sets.
