Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Jayanti 2024: आज महान स्वतंत्रता सेनानी, युवाओं के प्रेरणा श्रोत, नेता जी के नाम से विख्यात सुभाष चंद्र बोस की जन्म जयंती है। सुभाष चंद्र बोस की जन्म जयंती प्रत्येक वर्ष 23 जनवरी को मनाई जाती है। नेता जी की जन्म जयंती को पूरा देश पराक्रम दिवस के रूप में मनाता है। क्योंकि उन्होंने देश की जनता के मन में स्वंत्रता की आग भड़काई, हक के लिए उन्हें लड़ना सिखाया। सुभाष चंद्र बोस का जीवन स्पष्ट और सत्य का था। वह देश प्रेम में मग्न रहते थे। लोग उनको वैसे तो देश प्रेमी के रूप में जानते थे। लेकिन आज हम आपको नेता जी सुभाष चंद्र बोस के आध्यात्मिक जीवन के विषय में बताने जा रहे हैं।

जानें नेताजी सुभाष चंद्र बोस का आध्यात्मिक जीवन:

नेता जी सुभाष चंद्र बोस बेहद सौम्य स्वभाव के व्यक्ति थे। उनका जीवन देशप्रेम की भावना से भरा था। वह अपने साथ भगवत गीता सदैव रखते थे और उसका पाठ करते थे। नेता जी माता काली और दुर्गा के उपासक थे। सुभाष चंद्र की माता काली के प्रति बड़ी श्रद्धा थी। वह उनकी पूजा-आराधना के साथ अपने दिन का शुभारम्भ करते थे। उनको तंत्र विद्या में अटूट विश्वास था। जब नेता जी म्यांमार के मांडला जेल में बंद थे तो उन्होंने कई तंत्र विद्याओं की किताबों का अध्यन किया।

नेता जी का मत था व्यक्ति को सभी धर्मों का सम्मान करना चाहिए। आप अपने धर्म के प्रति समर्पित रहिए। उसका सम्मान कीजिए। साथ ही अन्य धर्मों का भी सम्मान कीजिए। शायद नेता जी के इसी स्वाभाव के कारण हर धर्म के लोगों ने स्वतंत्रता आंदोलन में उनका साथ दिया। वह दुर्गा पूजा का प्रत्येक वर्ष बेसब्री से इन्तजार करते रहते थे।

भारत मां की प्रार्थना की पंक्तियां:

जाति धर्म या संप्रदाय का, नहीं भेद व्यवधान यहां,
सबका स्वागत, सबका आदर, सबका सम सम्मान यहां,
सब तीर्थों का एक तीर्थ यह, हृदय पवित्र बना लें हम,
आओ यहां अजातशत्रु बन, सबको मित्र बना लें हम.

Cyber Attacks in India: In recent years, India has witnessed a concerning escalation in cyber attacks, with criminals increasingly targeting various sectors and jeopardizing the data security of the general public. A recent report has shed light on this disturbing trend, revealing a significant increase in these incidents.

A Comparative Analysis of Cyber Attacks: 2022 vs. 2023

The cybersecurity firm Check Point has reported a notable rise in the frequency of cyber attacks in India. In 2023, there was an average of 15% more attacks per week compared to 2022. This surge places India second only to Taiwan in the Asia Pacific region for the highest number of cyber attacks.

Global and Regional Cyber Threat Landscape

Globally, each organization experienced an average of 1,158 weekly cyber attacks, a slight increase of 1% from the previous year. This statistic underscores the growing global concern over cyber threats.

Breaking Down the Weekly Cyber Attack Statistics

In a more detailed analysis, Check Point’s report highlighted that in 2023, each organization in India faced an average of 2,138 weekly attacks, marking a 15% increase from 2022. This rate of attack not only positions India as a prime target in the Asia Pacific region but also indicates a broader trend of rising cyber threats in the area.

Asia Pacific at the Epicenter of Cyber Threats

The report also pointed out that the Asia Pacific region leads in the average number of weekly attacks, with each organization facing about 1,930 incidents. This represents a 3% increase from the previous year. The region’s escalating cyber threat landscape contrasts with other areas such as Africa, where there was a 12% year-on-year increase in weekly attacks, averaging 1,900 incidents per organization.

Sectors Most Affected by Cyber Attacks

The data shared by Check Point revealed significant shifts in sector-specific cyber attack patterns. The education and research sector, previously a major target, saw a notable 12% decrease in attacks. However, it still remained at the top of the list for the highest volume of cyber attacks. In contrast, the retail and wholesale sector witnessed a 22% increase in attacks compared to 2022, while the healthcare sector experienced a 3% rise.

The Growing Concern and Need for Vigilance

These findings underscore the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity measures across various sectors in India. The consistent increase in cyber attacks poses a serious threat to data security and calls for concerted efforts to fortify digital infrastructures. As India continues to digitalize rapidly, the importance of robust cybersecurity strategies cannot be overstated.

Ayodhya:  In a significant moment for Ayodhya’s Ram Temple, a historic event unfolded on Monday, January 22. The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, meticulously performed all the rituals associated with the installation of the deity, Ram Lalla. This event marks a milestone in Ayodhya’s spiritual and cultural journey, resonating deeply with devotees nationwide.

The Revered Swami Govind Dev Giriji Maharaj: A Pillar of Ayodhya’s Ram Temple

Swami Govind Dev Giriji Maharaj has emerged as a pivotal figure in the religious and cultural landscape of Ayodhya. As a member of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, Swami Govind Dev Giriji Maharaj holds a significant position as the Treasurer. Born in 1950 in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, he is renowned for his discourses on sacred texts like the Ramayana and the Bhagavad Gita, both in India and abroad. His guidance has been a guiding light in the Trust, which includes other esteemed members like Jagadguru Shankaracharya, Swami Vasudevanand, and Mahant Dhirendra Das.

Swami Govind Dev Giriji Maharaj’s journey to his current stature is a tale of devotion and commitment. Following the Supreme Court’s verdict in 2019 regarding the Ayodhya land dispute, the Trust was established for the temple’s construction and maintenance. His selection as a member was a testament to his lifelong dedication to the teachings and worship of Lord Ram.

PM Modi’s Devotional Practices: Inspired by Swami Govind Dev Giriji Maharaj

In a recent address, Swami Govind Dev Giriji Maharaj lauded Prime Minister Modi’s commitment and devotion, drawing parallels with the revered King Shivaji. He highlighted Modi’s rigorous observance of a spiritual fast – initially a three-day commitment that extended to 11 days under strict adherence to religious practices. The Prime Minister’s abstention from grains, consuming only fruits, and sleeping on the ground instead of a bed, were part of this devotional practice. Swami Govind Dev Giriji Maharaj’s influence and guidance in these observances are a testament to his spiritual leadership and the respect he commands.

The Significance of Ram Lalla’s Prana Pratishtha Ceremony

The Prana Pratishtha ceremony for Ram Lalla, conducted by Prime Minister Modi, was a profound spiritual undertaking. It involved a series of rituals and observances that are deeply rooted in Hindu tradition. This ceremony not only symbolizes the divine presence of Lord Ram in the temple but also reinforces the cultural and religious ethos of Ayodhya. The meticulous observance of these rituals by the Prime Minister, under the guidance of Swami Govind Dev Giriji Maharaj, further cements the spiritual significance of the event.

India-Pakistan Relations: India and Pakistan, two neighboring countries in South Asia, have had a complex and often strained relationship over the past several years. This tension can be attributed to various factors, including political rhetoric and actions that have fueled animosity between the two nations. One recent incident that highlights this ongoing issue involves a viral video of Sheikh Rasheed, the former Home Minister of Pakistan, delivering a provocative speech against India.

The Viral Video Controversy: Fueling Tensions Further

In the video, Sheikh Rasheed is seen making highly charged statements. He declares that the nation is ready for extreme measures, indicating a willingness for conflict and aggression. He references the Balakot airstrike, a significant event in the history of India-Pakistan relations, and makes bold claims about Pakistan’s capabilities and intentions. His words suggest a readiness for conflict, which is concerning given the delicate nature of India-Pakistan relations.

This video has been widely shared on social media platforms, including Platform X (formerly known as Twitter), under the handle “Pakistan Untold”. It’s important to note that the authenticity of the video has not been confirmed by ABP News. However, the content and the rhetoric used in the video are in line with previous statements made by Sheikh Rasheed.

History of Provocative Statements

Sheikh Rasheed’s history of making controversial statements against India is not new. He has been known to target India on various issues, including the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which have been points of contention in India. He has previously claimed that these policies would lead to the creation of multiple Pakistans within India, implying a division and mistreatment of Muslims in the country. These statements are indicative of the broader narrative often used to criticize India’s internal policies and stoke communal tensions.

Navigating the Troubled Waters of India-Pakistan Relations

The ongoing rhetoric and actions from leaders like Sheikh Rasheed not only exacerbate tensions between India and Pakistan but also highlight the deep-seated issues that have plagued their relationship. These incidents underscore the need for careful diplomacy and a nuanced understanding of the historical and political contexts shaping India-Pakistan relations. The journey towards a peaceful resolution and better mutual understanding is complex and requires efforts from both sides to move beyond inflammatory rhetoric and towards constructive dialogue.

The Role of Media and Public Perception

The role of media in these scenarios is critical. The way such speeches and incidents are reported and shared can significantly influence public perception and bilateral relations. Responsible reporting, verification of facts, and an emphasis on peace-building narratives are essential in this context. The media plays a crucial role in either fueling the fire of conflict or paving the way for a more nuanced and balanced understanding of these sensitive issues.

The Ambani family, renowned for their influence and affluence in India, recently announced a significant contribution of 2.51 crore rupees to the Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. This substantial donation underlines the family’s commitment to India’s cultural and spiritual heritage.

The Ambani Family at the Pran Pratishtha Ceremony

The Ambani family’s participation in the Pran Pratishtha ceremony in Ayodhya was a momentous occasion. Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries, along with his wife Nita Ambani, and their children, Akash, Anant, and Isha, were present at this sacred event. Nita Ambani, expressing her elation, remarked on the profound experience and the pride they feel in Indian culture and traditions. This sentiment resonates deeply with the ethos of the nation.

Mukesh Ambani on Witnessing a Transforming India

Mukesh Ambani, addressing the media, shared his thoughts on the transformative phase that India is undergoing. His presence at the event, along with his family, was not just a matter of personal faith but also a reflection of his commitment to the nation’s evolving cultural landscape. The Ambani family’s donation is a small yet significant part of this transformation.

A Gathering of Dignitaries

The event was not just a religious ceremony but also a gathering of India’s most notable personalities. The state guest list included 506 names, encompassing politicians, industrialists, Bollywood stars, athletes, diplomats, judges, and priests. This diverse assembly highlighted the unifying power of such cultural events.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Role in the Ceremony

Karpoori Thakur Bharat Ratna: भारत रत्न देश का सर्वश्रेष्ठ अवार्ड माना गया है। केंद्र की मोदी सरकार ने आज यानी कर्पूरी जयंती के मौके पर पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री कर्पूरी ठाकुर को भारत रत्न देने की घोषणा की है। पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री कर्पूरी को भारत रत्न से सम्मानित करना पूरे भारत के लिए गर्व की बात है। वही अब सवाल यह उठता है कि भारत रत्न अवार्ड के साथ अन्य क्या -क्या सुविधाएं मिलती हैं।

क्या भारत रत्न के साथ मिलता है पैसा:

भारत रत्न भारत का सर्वश्रेष्ठ पुरस्कार है। जब किसी व्यक्ति को भारत रत्न द्वारा भारत सरकार सम्मानित करती है। तो उसे भारत रत्न के साथ एक प्रमाण पत्र दिया जाता है। भारत रत्न के साथ कोई पैसा नहीं मिलता। हालांकि जिस व्यक्ति को भारत रत्न दिया जाता है उसके परिजनों के लिए यह गर्व की बात होती है और भारत रत्न अपने साथ पैसा नहीं लाता लेकिन कई विशेष सुविधाएं लेकर आता है।

क्या मिलती हैं सुविधाएं:

भारत रत्न से सम्मानित व्यक्ति को वॉरंट ऑफ़ प्रेसिडेंस में जगह दी जाती है। इसके साथ ही व्यक्ति को मुफ्त रेलवे यात्रा की सुविधा और कई अहम सरकारी कार्यक्रमों में शामिल होने के लिए न्योता भी मिलता है। भारत रत्न से सम्मानित लोगों को राष्ट्रपति, उपराष्ट्रपति, प्रधानमंत्री, राज्यपाल, पूर्व राष्ट्रपति, उपप्रधानमंत्री, चीफ जस्टिस, लोकसभा अध्यक्ष, कैबिनेट मंत्री, मुख्यमंत्री, पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री और संसद के दोनों सदनों में विपक्ष के नेता के बाद प्रोटोकॉल में जगह मिलती है। 1955 के दौरान भारत रत्न देने के नियमों में बदलाव किया गया और इसमें मरणोपरांत सम्मानित करने का प्रावधान भी जोड़ा गया। मरणोपरांत भारत रत्न देने की बात करें तो सबसे पहले पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री लाल बहादुर शास्त्री को सम्मानित किया गया।

In the complex tapestry of Indian politics, religion and governance often intertwine, sparking debates and controversies. One recent incident that captured national attention involved the inauguration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. This event, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 22, signified more than a religious ceremony; it represented a pivotal moment in Indian politics.

The Political Overtones of the Ram Temple Inauguration

The Ram Temple’s inauguration was not just a religious event but also a significant political statement. While devotees and supporters saw it as a fulfillment of a long-standing promise, opposition parties viewed it with skepticism. Swami Prasad Maurya, a leader from the Samajwadi Party, expressed concerns over the BJP’s intentions. He questioned the political motives behind the event, suggesting it was more of a party-specific agenda rather than a national celebration.

Opposition’s Perspective on BJP’s Agenda

Maurya’s comments reflect a broader concern among opposition parties regarding the BJP’s approach to religious matters. They argue that the BJP seems to prioritize religious issues over other pressing national concerns, a stance they believe could foster social divisiveness. The opposition accuses the BJP of using religion as a tool for political gain, an approach they contend is detrimental to the nation’s secular fabric.

The Controversy Surrounding PM Modi’s Fasting

Adding to the political drama, Veerappa Moily, a senior Congress leader, raised doubts about Prime Minister Modi’s recent fasting. Moily questioned the feasibility of Modi’s claimed 11-day water-only fast, suggesting it was physically improbable and potentially a political stunt. This criticism aligns with the opposition’s narrative that the BJP often engages in symbolic gestures that lack substance.

Balancing Religion and Politics in India

The intersection of religion and politics in India is a delicate matter. While religious sentiments are deeply ingrained in the Indian psyche, the political exploitation of these sentiments is a contentious issue. The opposition parties, particularly the Congress and the Samajwadi Party, emphasize the need to separate religion from politics, advocating for a governance model that prioritizes secularism and inclusivity.

The Way Forward

The ongoing debate between the BJP and opposition parties over the role of religion in politics underscores a fundamental challenge in Indian governance. As India continues to navigate its path as a diverse and secular nation, the balance between respecting religious sentiments and maintaining secular governance remains a critical aspect of its political discourse.

Karpoori Thakur: The legacy of Karpoori Thakur, fondly remembered as the “Jan Nayak” or the people’s champion in the annals of Bihar’s political history, has been immortalized with the conferment of the Bharat Ratna, India’s most esteemed civilian award. This recognition, announced just before the centenary of Thakur’s birth, has stirred a wave of emotional and reverential responses from political leaders across the spectrum, including heartfelt tributes from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

The Meteoric Rise of Karpoori Thakur: From Humble Beginnings to Political Stalwart

Karpoori Thakur’s journey to prominence is a tale of resilience and unwavering determination. Born in 1924 into modest circumstances in a small village in Samastipur district, Thakur’s political inclinations were evident from an early age. He actively participated in the Quit India Movement, a significant chapter in India’s struggle for independence, which led to several months of imprisonment. His political career gained momentum with his victory in the 1952 state assembly election from Tajpur, representing the Socialist Party and effectively challenging the long-standing dominance of the Congress Party.

Breaking Barriers: Karpoori Thakur’s Tenure as Bihar’s First Non-Congress Chief Minister

Karpoori Thakur’s tenure as the Chief Minister of Bihar, though brief, was marked by significant reforms and progressive policies. Serving from December 1970 to June 1971 and later from June 1977 to April 1979, Thakur’s leadership was instrumental in the implementation of the landmark Mungerilal Commission. This commission played a pivotal role in introducing reservations for economically disadvantaged and socially backward sections, a move that significantly altered the socio-political landscape of Bihar.

Educational Reforms and Social Justice: The Hallmarks of Thakur’s Leadership

One of Thakur’s most notable contributions during his tenure was the abolition of English as a compulsory subject in schools. This decision, considered bold and forward-thinking, reflected his commitment to making education more accessible and inclusive. His administration’s focus on social justice was further exemplified by the implementation of quotas for backward classes, particularly recognizing the ‘ati-pichhda’ or the Most Backward Classes as a distinct category.

A Legacy Beyond Politics: Karpoori Thakur’s Enduring Influence

Karpoori Thakur’s impact on Bihar’s political and social fabric extends far beyond his tenure as Chief Minister. His unwavering dedication to social justice and equality, coupled with his reputation as a leader untainted by corruption or nepotism, has left an indelible mark. His son, Ram Nath Thakur, continues his legacy as a Rajya Sabha MP from JD(U), while political figures across party lines, including Nitish Kumar and RJD president Lalu Prasad, consider him a guiding influence.

The Bharat Ratna Recognition: A Fitting Tribute to a People’s Hero

The bestowal of the Bharat Ratna on Karpoori Thakur is not just a recognition of his individual achievements but a testament to his lifelong commitment to the marginalized and underprivileged. This prestigious honor, announced on the eve of his 100th birth anniversary, resonates deeply with his followers and admirers, reaffirming his status as a stalwart of social justice and equality.
