Ahead of Kashi-Tamil Sangamam, PM Modi urges people to learn Tamil
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his monthly radio broadcast Mann Ki Baat on Sunday, not only described Tamil as a great language and the pride of India, but also spoke about a range of the countrys achievements across several fields, including scientific advancements from space to the ground level, agriculture, honey production as an economically empowering subsidiary agro-initiative, and other sectors including tourism. Indias growing strength in the drone and defence sectors, as well as religious activities such as the Geeta Mahotsava and hoisting Dharmadhwaja atop Ram temple, also featured prominently in PM Modis broadcast. Focusing on the upcoming fourth edition of the Tamil Sangamam in Varanasi, commencing on December 2, this year, PM Modi urged citizens to participate and learn the Tamil language. In Tamil, he reiterated Tamil Kalachaaram Uyarvanad, Tamil Moli Uyarvanad, Tamil Indiavin Perumidam (Tamil culture is great, Tamil language is great, Tamil is the pride of India). This year's Kashi-Tamil Sangamam has a very interesting theme. Learn Tamil - Tamil Karkalam, Modi said. He also described the Kashi-Tamil Sangamam as an important platform for all those associated with the Tamil language. Whenever one speaks to the people of Kashi they always say that they enjoy being a part of the Kashi-Tamil Sangamam. Here they get the opportunity to learn something new and meet new people, Modi emphasised, urging people to learn Tamil. I urge all of you to be a part of the Kashi-Tamil Sangamam. Along with this, do consider other platforms as well, that strengthen the spirit of 'Ek Bharat-Shrestha Bharat', he asserted. Speaking about Indias achievements, Modi informed listeners that the country has reached a major milestone in food grain production. The country has also achieved a major milestone in the agricultural sector. India has set a historic record with food grain production of 357 million tonnes. Three hundred and fifty-seven million tonnes! Compared to 10 years ago, India's food grain production has increased by a 100 million tonnes, he claimed. He also highlighted Indias rise in honey production. Quoting figures, he said, Today, India is setting new records in honey production. 11 years ago, honey production in the country was 76 thousand metric tons. It has now increased to more than 1.5 lakh metric tons. He added that honey exports have risen more than threefold in recent years, and under the Honey Mission programme, Khadi Gramodyog has distributed more than 2.25 lakh bee-boxes. Promoting wider adoption of Vocal for Local, the Prime Minister stated that during foreign trips, he presents Indias locally crafted products as gifts on behalf of the country, reiterating his commitment to the initiative. Referring to his recent tour to South Africa for the G-20 summit, he said the sentiment of Vocal for Local was reflected in the gifts he presented to world leaders. During the G-20, I presented a bronze statue of Nataraja to the president of South Africa. This is a wonderful example of Chola-era craftsmanship, rooted in the cultural heritage of Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, he said. He added that the Canadian Prime Minister received a silver horse replica showcasing Udaipurs craftsmanship, while the Japanese Prime Minister was presented with a silver Buddha replica featuring the intricacies of the renowned silver crafts of Telangana and Karimnagar. He noted that the Italian Prime Minister was gifted a silver mirror with floral motifs, showcasing the traditional metal craftsmanship of Karimnagar, while the Australian Prime Minister received a brass urli, an exquisite craft from Mannar in Kerala. Explaining the rationale behind these gifts, he said, My aim was to make the world aware of Indian crafts, art, and traditions and to provide a global platform to the talent of our artisans. He also highlighted the drone show, the Gita Mahotsava, space start-ups, the 150th year of Vande Mataram, Constitution Day celebrations, and the hoisting of the 'Dharmadhwaja' atop the Ram Mandir at Ayodhya, among other notable developments in November. Mentioning about his recent visit to Coimbatore, PM praised South Indias progress in this area. I was deeply impressed by the efforts being made in South India towards natural farming. Natural farming has been a part of India's ancient traditions, and it is our duty to continuously promote it to protect Mother Earth, he remarked. He shared information for those interested in Navy-related tourism and winter tourism. Touching on growing craze for winter tourism, PM Modi said, Our country also possesses every potential for winter tourism. We have mountains, culture, and endless possibilities for adventure. These days, winter tourism in Uttarakhand is attracting a lot of people in places like Auli, Munsyari, Chopta, and Deyara.

Some Bharatiya people don't know our own languages: RSS chief Bhagwat
NAGPUR: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday expressed concern over the declining use of Indian languages and mother tongues, saying the situation has reached a point where some Bharatiya people do not know our own languages. Speaking at a book release event in Nagpur, Bhagwat appealed to society to introspect on the erosion of linguistic heritage. There was a time when entire communication, sharing, daily business was in Sanskrit. Now, some American professor teaches us Sanskrit, when in reality we should have been teaching it to the world. Many children today do not know some very basic and simple words and often speak at home in a mix of their mother tongue and English, he said. The situation has reached a point where some Bharatiya people do not know our own Indian languages, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief said. He maintained that English-medium education was not to blame, but the reluctance to speak Indian languages at home was aggravating the situation. If we speak our language properly in our home, things would be better. But we do not do it, he said. Even seers now reach out in English, which is understandable, but still indicative of changing linguistic preferences, Bhagwat noted. Referring to Sant Dnyaneshwar, he said the saint brought the knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita into Marathi for a better understanding of society. Now the problem is that there are not enough words in the English language that capture the essence and depth of the thoughts or concepts expressed in our languages. A single word used by Dnyaneshwar often requires multiple English words without fully conveying the intended meaning, he said. Citing an example, he pointed to Kalpavruksha, the wish-fulfilling tree from mythology in Indian tradition. How will you translate Kalpavruksha in English? Bhagwat asked, stressing the limitations of translating culturally rich concepts into a foreign language. He said such examples highlight why Indian languages must be preserved and strengthened. Bhagwat further said that Indian philosophical traditions emphasise unity despite physical differences. Where there is faith, we all are an expression of the one, he said, recalling how a seer once told foreign visitors that debating whether there is one God or many was unnecessary since the existence of the divine itself was central. Bhagwat said the Indian tradition teaches people to think beyond individual interests and consider the welfare of families and communities. This has been told to people in different words and different formats, he said. Bhagwat said that debates on whether the Bhagavad Gita emphasises knowledge or action overlook its holistic approach. Like a bird cannot fly without wings, we need two wings - knowledge and karma - and the bird itself is your faith. Knowledge without faith is like (demon king) Ravana, he added.

Manipur's violence-hit people, seeking to return home, clash with security forces
Hundreds of displaced people, seeking to return to their homes, clashed with security forces in Manipur's Imphal East district on Saturday. The displaced people, who have been staying at different relief camps after ethnic violence broke out in May 2023, were stopped by security forces at Yaingangpokpi when they were marching towards their homes at Gwaltabi, located on the periphery of the district.

One of the agitators, S Ibemcha Devi, said, According to the government, normalcy has been restored in the state. Then, why are we not allowed to return to our homes?

Tribespeoples boycott threat pays off in Vattavada, Edamalakkudy of Idukki district
IDUKKI: The tribal communitys threat of boycotting the upcoming local body polls has triggered a political tremor in Idukki, forcing development work in Vattavada and Edamalakkudy to finally move after years of official inertia. In Vattavada, five Muthuvan settlements had unanimously declared a non-participation campaign, citing two unresolved issues: the Block 59 land dispute and the 16-km Chilathiyar-Swamiyaralakkudi-Koodalarkudi-Valsapetti-Ullavayal road, pending for decades. The dispute involves 2,939 acres in Block 59, of which 1,384 acres are revenue land, 550 acres were declared reserve forest in 1,908, and 1,005 acres remain under the Forest Department. Continued errors in the Basic Tax Register, wrongly marking revenue land as forest, have prevented residents from receiving title deeds, aggravating mistrust. An all-party meeting last week assured that 25% of the road work will be completed before the 2026 assembly elections. This has prompted the settlements to withdraw their boycott for now. Local body member Ramaraj said a joint survey led by the forest and revenue departments is crucial to settling the long-standing confusion in Block 59. The digital resurvey has already begun in Vattavada, but the disputed stretch where boundary stones were placed differently will now be jointly verified. Once the classification errors in the records are corrected, and the land is properly identified as revenue land, the process of issuing title deeds to the tribal settlements can move forward, Ramaraj said. The road project has crossed a crucial technical milestone, with level survey proceedings completed. Officials said the next step is the preparation of the final estimate, after which construction is expected to begin using a 60:40 funding pattern between the Union and state governments. Considering how long we have been denied basic infrastructure like motorable roads, every party has come forward to stand with us this time, district panchayat member and tribal settler C Rajendran said. But tribal leaders warn their consent is provisional.If the promises are not fulfilled, we will pull back our candidates for the assembly elections, said tribal chief Ramaswamy. We are not here to remain as vote banks unless our necessities are met. In Edamalakkudy, the tribespeoples pressure has yielded their first breakthrough in years. Construction on the Pettimudi-Societykudi road restarted two weeks ago after a deadlock lasting months. Of the total 7.7 km, 4.9 km had already been concreted; the remaining stretch is finally undergoing formation work. We decided to boycott the elections. But after officials accelerated the work, we withdrew from that position, said Muthuvan Adivasi Samudaya Sangham president M Palraj. With four tribal-reserved wards in Vattavada Koodalarkudi, Koviloor, Vattavada South and Edamanal the political fronts are now facing a sharp contest. In these wards, all major parties have fielded candidates, reflecting the rising electoral weight of the settlements.
