Environment destruction or an ages old tradition ??

A lot such things are done on Dusshera which shouldn’t be done as they are incorrect rather useless too…

For example first let us consider distributing Apta leaves  (Bauhinia racemosa) as gold on Dusshera, may it be a long tradition now needs to be corrected.

On one hand we give messages to save environment & on the contrary pluck the Apta leaves unnecessarily...

But now the number of apta trees has come down drastically and there is a need to save these trees.

The apta tree has no fragrance and does not bear fruit. So very few people plant it. As a result, the number of apta trees has decreased. Apta trees are found outside the village. The sellers bring in large quantities of apta leaves to sell on Dussehra in the market. Whereas, on the next day large quantity of dried apta leaves can be found thrown in the garbage. Therefore, offering apta leaves on Dussehra is merely destroying the environment.

Apta tree has scientific importance, the ability to absorb carbon dioxide emitted from vehicles and animals as well as atmospheric dust is high in Apta trees.

This Dusshera let us decide no more plucking of Bauhinia racemosa leaves.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi)

Generations to come will scare believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood. -Albert Einstein (to Mahatma Gandhi) Mahatma Gandhi was a visionary leader. He was the pioneer of Satyagraha movements. He inspired people to understand and learn resistance through non-violent civil disobedience. There are a lot of misgivings about Mahatma Gandhi in the mind of our people. Unlike I had already mentioned one in my previous article ‘Independence Day’ released on August 15 2021. (Attaching the link below https://janhavidudhane7.blogspot.com/2021/08/independence-day.html ) Gandhiji initially and from a very long time continued to oppose partition. He said Partition can happen only on his dead body. He even suggested that let Jinnah be the prime minister if that can avoid partition. [Jinnah was a dying man (a well guarded secret). He had less than a year to live. He wanted to ensure partition happens before he is gone.] Britishers wanted to sho...

Why celebrate teacher’s day as 5th of September??? Why celebrate teacher’s day as 5th of September as birthday of the plagiarize man In a country where teacher is worshipped, if he steals his students thesis and publishes it by his own name what are we supposed to call him??? Teacher deserves to be a respected person… Not a plagiarize person… In the January 1929 issue of the Modern Review, Jadunath Sinha made a sensational claim regarding Dr. Radhakrishnan Sarvepalli None other than Radhakrishnan Sarvepalli had plagiarized from him his Indian Philosophy Volume II. He had lifted several passages from Sinha’s thesis. The battle spilled over into the February, March and April issues of the magazine too as Sinha cited several more passages to bolster his claim. Radhakrishnan hit back with letters in the February and March issues. In August 1929, Sinha sued Radhakrishnan. Radhakrishnan counter-sued both Sinha and Ramnath Chattopadhyay, the editor of Modern Review...
