The people who lived in North, South, or Central America are called Indians. When Europeans arrived there, they started using these uncivilized people as slaves. They used to scorn them, depersonalize them and treat them unkindly. Similarly, the British had no respect for the Bharateeya; they treated us not as humans but as if our individual feelings and thoughts were not important. It was because of this that they started calling us Indians. To be associated with the term ‘India’ is to be constantly reminded of the slavery under British colonial rule. The second of the five pledges that PM Modi has asked the countrymen to make is to erase all traces of servitude until the end of the Amritkaal. Now we have built our own parliament building on which the lions are no more naive and submissive.

September fifth is the Anniversary of the birth of the second president DR Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. India celebrates his birthday as Teachers' Day, commemorating the importance of teachers in our lives. Dr Radhakrishnan was born on September 5, 1888. He was a scholar, philosopher, educationist and a Bharat Ratna. He served as the Vice-Chancellor of Andhra University from 1931 to 1936 and the Vice-Chancellor of Banaras Hindu University in 1939. He had been a teacher at Chennai’s Presidency College and Calcutta University. Bridges and buildings build engineers, Architect makes their work yet easier, Doctors treat the injured and the ill, Soldiers shoot enemy troops to kill, Poets sing to make us laugh and cry, Scientists raise our standards high, But teachers do all of these things: Reach new heights they give us wings. -Poet Ramesh Tiwari Happy Teachers’ Day ~~~~

A special session of Parliament from September 18 to 22 was called on 31 August 2023 and it is expected that the Centre might introduce bills on 'One Nation, One Election', Uniform Civil Code and Women's Reservation in the special session. Next day, the Government announced the setting up of a high-level committee under former President Ram Nath Kovind to explore the feasibility of synchronizing elections for Parliamentary general elections with Assembly, Municipal and Panchyat Elections. ‘One country, one election’ is not a new thing. After Independence, National and State elections were held simultaneously in 1957, 1962 and 1967. Some legislative assemblies were dissolved prematurely in 1968 and 1969 and in 1970 the Parliament too was dissolved. Anyway, the continuity of the synchronized elections completely broke by 1972 when no Assembly election coincided with Parliamentary elections. The Election Commission of India had put forward a proposal of simultaneous election ...
