VHP and BD Observe Akhanda Bharata Sankalpa Day
Mangaluru: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal held the ‘Akhanda Bharata Sankalpa Day’ and a torch bearing procession (Panjina Meravanige) at the Nehru Maidan here, on August 13.
The ‘Panjina Meravanige’ was flagged off by Prof. M B Puranik from the Sharavu Temple and culminated at the Nehru Maidan.
The ‘Akhanda Bharata Sankalpa’ flag was hoisted by Dr Tejashwini Gowda. District President of VHP, Jagadish Shenava welcomed the gathering.
Prof M B Puranik delivered the keynote address and briefed the gathering about the significance of Akhanda Bharata Sankalpa Day. “On August 15, we celebrate the Independence day. Prior to that, on August 13, we are observing the Akhanda Bharata Sankalpa Day. Gandhi had said that he would not allow the country to be divided, but the then Prime Minister, for his selfish motives, allowed the division of the country,” said Puranik.
He further said that the VHP and BD do not have anything against anyone. “But those who love this country and follow its tradition and culture, should strive hard to make this country ‘Akhand Bharat’ (complete India).”
Speaking on the occasion, the main speaker Dr Tejashwini Gowda said, “We have completed 69 years of independence and are stepping into the 70th year but until today we have not used the word ‘Bharat’ for our country. When we got freedom from the British, the country was named as India.”
She further said, “Nepal used to be the only Hindu nation in the world but later was declared a secular country. In India, Hindus do not produce blue films where a father rapes his own daughter. Those who produce blue films are not Hindus. In the Hindu culture, a husband does not set his wife on fire; that is not our culture. We need to learn how to be a good couple from Rama and Sita.”
“Our country was made handicap by Pakistan 69 years ago. Our country was divided with the creation of East and West Pakistan. Those who sacrificed their life for the country are being called ‘terrorists’ in textbooks. Bhagat Singh was not a terrorist. If we try to correct this wrong done in the textbooks, it is labelled as ‘saffronization’. We will rewrite history.”
Dr Gowda also said that discrimination should be stopped in the country. “There are 52 organizations that work for the betterment of the society. We will teach children about the culture, tradition, and history of our country. If it is possible, let all the people come along and support us. If not, let them mind their own business and we will mind ours. But if they trouble us, then we will respond.”
She also alleged that there are 52 Islamic countries for Muslims where they can go, Christians have hundreds of countries but for Hindus, India is the only country. “Let anyone try to deny this. Hindus are not happy in India. There is unemployment and poverty. Hindus do not have freedom. Conversions of Hindus also take place. But has any Hindu converted anyone? Is there any Hindu who has looted someone else’s assets?” questioned Dr Gowda, adding, “In India, cows have been slaughtered with the excuse that they are old. If such a situation continues, soon the elderly people will also be abandoned by their children as parents will become old and be of no use. Mothers and sisters should not be considered as a commodity, instead they should be respected. Red light areas should be closed and women should be protected.”
Basavaraj, Gopal Kuthar, Bhujang Kulal and others were also present.
Good report. I’m really glad that there are still enough people who remember Akhanda Bharatha.
Why Dr Tejaswini is worried about Hindus. She forgot that whoever is born in this country are all Indians or Bharatiyaru. There is no need for them to go to any other country. Why should Christians or Muslims who are born in India need to go to other countries? Dr Tejaswini, I don’t agree with your statement that Hindus do not have any other country than India. How come most of the Hindus are working in gulf and Western countries and settled there, Hindus have settled all over the world. Do you mean to say that Hindus should all come… Read more »
Well said Mr. Bhaskar Shetty. I agree with you. We should all think as Indians first and work for the progress and the development of the country.
Some people look at the entire world as their oyster and become secular and broad and open minded. These people are mere rabble rousers and they will not develop, nor allow other people to develop. By creating confusion, violence and bad blood, they exist.
What sort of a doctor that lady is? I hope not someone prescribing herbs for common ailments?
What sort of a doc that lady is? I hope not someone prescribing herbs for common ailments? – Mr. Nelson From her unwarranted and inflammatory remarks, could be some snake oil peddler? “Christians have hundreds of countries….” rattles on this snake………….. She acts like any Christian could pack his ‘Jholige’, book a Lufthansa flight to Austria or Germany or a KLM flight to Netherlands. However, what makes me roll on the floor with mirth is this particular statement -“Is there any Hindu who has looted someone else’s assets?” Just to name two – Vijay Mallya and Subrata Roy, oh well..… Read more »
“…whoever is born in this country are all Indians or Bharatiyaru….Why should Christians or Muslims who are born in India need to do to other countries?…How come most of the Hindus are working in Gulf…..” writes one ‘Bhasker’ Shetty. Looking at how the name has ‘e’ in first name, there is a good chance that this is either Bob or Badruddin. I was actually expecting some ‘ajeerna’ responses to any mention of ‘Akhanda Bharatha’ and I wasn’t wrong!! Where exactly Dr.Tejaswini ask for minorities to leave India in this report? The fake-Bhasker talks about everyone born in India being either… Read more »
“I was actually EXPECTING some ‘ajeerna’ responses to any mention of ‘Akhanda Bharatha’ and I wasn’t wrong!!” – Gau Rakshak RampaNNA “Expecting”, eh? Darn! Why does it remind me of the following quotes by eminent people? 1. When ones expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have – Stephen Hawking. 2. Peace begins when EXPECTATIONS end. – Sri Chinmoy 3. A life that is burdened with EXPECTATIONS is a heavy life. It’s fruit are sorrow and disappointment. – Douglas Adams. ——————————————————————————— RampaNNA, you STILL haven’t given up on your EXPECTATIONS cum hallucinations about my allegedly rejected… Read more »
“There is nothing wrong in TALKING about Akhanda Bharatha. Remember – Jews never forgot about their motherland for 2000 years and finally managed to get Israel back”. – History professor from Yumreeka Ayyo RampaNNA, thun ambyar thavn kumbyar udthai ne re? The origin of Akhanda Bharatha (AB) was originated by Chanakya. At that time in 3rd century BC, the Indian subcontinent (emphasis on INDIAN SUBCONTINENT) covered what are now the modern day nations of Afghanistan, Pak, India, Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma and Bangladesh. In those days, it was ALL divided into umpteen INDEPENDENT kingdoms/princely states. Chanakya advocated the idea of… Read more »
“….book a Lufthansa flight to Austria or…” – Joker Praveena Pinto.
I noticed that he has finally given up his dream to reach Doddanna. He is looking at Eastern European countries now!! Very soon, he will start talking about Nepala and Sri Lanka. The reality seems to be slowly sinking in!!!
“He is looking at Eastern European countries now!!” – Yumreeki cleuless rampaNNA
Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia and Ukraine fall under “Eastern European” countries, pyareLallu Yumreeki Rampu’ji.
Austria and Netherlands, DON’T! Si comprende, senor?
“Any lessons learnt…?” asks Joker Praveena Pinto trying to lecture me on Indian history. This is the same guy who didn’t even know about Murudeshwara!! LOL It’s quite interesting to see how ignorance has mad him more confident!! LOL I gave the example of Israel for a reason – Jews were repeatedly told that their dream was irrational and unreal. It was not just the area of Israel. It was the united opposition from Arab/Muslim world that made it look impossible!! Still, they didn’t give up and rest is history. Akhanda Bharatha may not happen for many many decades of… Read more »
This is the same guy who didn’t even know about Murudeshwara. – Murudu Joker RampaNNA
PyareLallu RampaNNA, perennial LOW VOLTAGE in your neighborhood in Yumreeka, eh?
