NEW DELHI: BHARAT RATNAS GALORE ,P>At five, this is the maximum number of the highest civilian award of Bharat Ratnas declared in one year. Beginning with former Bihar Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur and then followed by former Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani. After a lull of a few days comes the announcement of Mankombu Sambasivan Swaminathan or more well known as M.S. Swaminathan, the acclaimed father of Indian Green Revolution, followed by Chaudhary Charan Singh, a former Prime Minister and 2 times Chief Minister of U.P. and P.V. Narasimha Rao, a former Prime Minister. Truth of the matter is except Lal Krishna Advani, who is past 96 years of age, all others have passed away.

ELECTION – 2024 – 2029 How Formidable is Narendra Modi for opposition to Challenge! But who is Modi – Narendra Damordas Modi?

TEMPLE IN AYODHYA- An Overdue STATEMENT 22nd January 2024, shall mark as a very significant day in the contemporary history of India that is Bharath. It was the day the long awaited temple for Lord Rama, the Maryaada Purushottam in the Indian pantheon of God heads, was formally consecrated at Ayodhya. The ‘500 years old’ wait is over, so informs public space. It has ended the alien influence that had disturbed the national conscience from times immemorial.

Yes, this temple at Ayodhya did wipe out a historical humiliation, where an existing temple was destroyed some 500 years ago to build an alien place of worship. It was a statement then, for the alien force, only to humiliate us. Yes, at long last we could reverse it, at our own terms, within the precincts of law and order. Indeed, the temple at Ayodhya has proved that rev...
