Maharana Pratap: A Symbol of Swadharma and Swaraj

  Maharana Pratap: A Symbol of *Swadharma* and *Swaraj*   To this day, the outcome of the Battle of Haldighati—fought between Maharana Pratap and Akbar—remains a subject of ongoing debate. It defies comprehension why scholarly historians have yet to reach a consensus regarding who was defeated and who emerged victorious in this conflict—especially given that the actual events of the battle, the identity of the aggressor, the relative strengths of the opposing armies, and who ultimately retreated are all matters of historical record. Furthermore, is not a tactical withdrawal often an integral part of battlefield strategy? There can be no two opinions on the fact that the ethical standards governing warfare differ significantly from those applicable to ordinary circumstances.   The true victor and vanquished in any war can be assessed by the manner in which that conflict subsequently steered the course of the future. In the annals of Indian history, Maharana Pratap stan...

Uttaryogi -Sri Aurobindo (Short Introduction)

Image
  The person whom the British government considered to be the most dangerous individual was named Aurobindo Ghosh, and his date of birth was August 15, 1872. Sri Aurobindo was endowed with multifaceted genius; he was not only a great Yogi, seer, sage, philosopher, poet, and writer, but also a great patriot, freedom fighter, and revolutionary.   1 Sri Aurobindo also known as Uttaryogi This name was bestowed upon Sri Aurobindo based on a prophecy made by a renowned Tamil Yogi. Nagai Japtah, a celebrated Yogi from the South, had foretold that thirty years hence, a Yogi would arrive in the South from the North and practice *Purna Yoga* (Integral Yoga) there. To enable the identification of this Yogi, he cited three specific traits—which he termed "madnesses"—as distinguishing signs.

क्या सुप्रीम कोर्ट विधायिका में महिलाओं के लिए आरक्षण का निर्देश दे सकता है?

  क्या सुप्रीम कोर्ट विधायिका में महिलाओं के लिए आरक्षण का निर्देश दे सकता है ? संसद में महिलाओं के लिए आरक्षण विधेयक पेश किया गया था , जिसका उद्देश्य एक विस्तारित लोकसभा और राज्य विधानसभाओं में महिलाओं के लिए 33% सीटों का आरक्षण सुनिश्चित करना था। इसे ' संविधान संशोधन 131 वां विधेयक , 2026' के रूप में प्रस्तुत किया गया था। इस संशोधन विधेयक के समर्थन में वोटों की संख्या कम रह गई , जिसके कारण यह विधेयक पारित नहीं हो सका ; फलस्वरूप , सत्ताधारी दल के प्रयासों को अपेक्षित परिणाम नहीं मिल पाए। मीडिया और अदालतों के गलियारों में अब यह चर्चा ज़ोरों पर है कि ' जनहित याचिका ' (PIL) के माध्यम से , माननीय सुप्रीम कोर्ट के ' परमादेश ' (Writ of Mandamus) द्वारा अब इस आरक्षण को प्रभावी बनाया जा सकता है। सुप्रीम कोर्ट के निर्देशों के अनुसार , बार काउंसिल में महिलाओं के लिए 30% आरक्षण ( 20% चुनाव के ज़रिए + 10% मनोनीत सदस्य) का आदेश अब एक मिसाल के तौर पर इस्तेमाल किया जा रहा है। भारत के लोगों के सामने यह सवाल उठता है कि क्या इसी व्यवस्था को दूसरी जगहों पर भी लागू किया जा ...
