‘VASUDHAIVA
KUTUMBAKAM’
– these two words capture a
deep philosophy. It means ‘the
world is one family’. This is an
all-embracing outlook that en-
courages us to progress as one
universal family, transcending
borders, languages, and ideolo-
gies. During India’s G20 Presi-
dency, this has translated into a
call for human-centric progress.
As One Earth, we are coming
together to nurture our planet.
AsOneFamily,wesupporteach
other in the pursuit of growth.
And we move together towards
a shared future - One Future -
which is an undeniable truth in
these interconnected times.
The post-pandemic world or-
der is very different from the
world before it. There are three
importantchanges,amongothers.
First, there is a growing reali-
sation that a shift away from a
GDP-centricviewoftheworldto
a human-centric view is needed.
Second, the world is recog-
nizing the importance of resil-
ience and reliability in global
supply chains.
Third, there is a collective
call for boosting multilateral-
ism through the reform of glob-
al institutions.
Our G20 Presidency has
played the role of a catalyst in
these shifts.
In December 2022, when we
took over the Presidency from
Indonesia, I had written that a
mindset shift must be catalysed
by the G20. This was especially
needed in the context of main-
streamingthemarginalizedaspi-
rations of developing countries,
the Global South andAfrica.
The Voice of Global South
Summit, which witnessed par-
ticipation from 125 countries,
was one of the foremost initia-
tives under our Presidency. It
was an important exercise to
gather inputs and ideas from the
Global South. Further, our Pres-
idency has not only seen the
largest-ever participation from
African countries but
hasalsopushedfortheinclusion
of the African Union as a per-
manent member of the G20.
An interconnected world
means our challenges across do-
mains are interlinked.This is the
midwayyearofthe2030Agenda
and many are noting with great
concern that the progress on
SDGsisoff-track.TheG202023
ActionPlanonAcceleratingPro-
gress on SDGs will spearhead
the future direction of the G20
towards implementing SDGs.
In India, living in harmony
with nature has been a norm
since ancient times and we
have been contributing our
share towards climate action
even in modern times.
Many countries of the Glob-
al South are at various stages of
development and climate ac-
tion must be a complementary
pursuit. Ambitions for climate
action must be matched with
actions on climate finance and
transfer of technology.
We believe there is a need to
move away from a purely re-
strictive attitude of what should
not be done, to a more con-
structive attitude focusing on
what can be done to fight cli-
mate change.
The Chennai HLPs for a
Sustainable and Resilient Blue
Economy focus on keeping our
oceans healthy.
Aglobal ecosystem for clean
and green hydrogen will
emerge from our presidency,
along with a Green Hydrogen
Innovation Centre.
In 2015, we launched the In-
ternational Solar Alliance.
Now, through the Global Bio-
fuels Alliance, we will support
the world to enable energy
transitions in tune with the ben-
efits of a circular economy.
Democratising climate action
is the best way to impart mo-
mentum to the movement. Just
as individuals make daily deci-
sions based on their long-term
health, they can make lifestyle
decisions based on the impact
on the planet’s long-term health.
Just like Yoga became a global
mass movement for wellness,
we have also nudged the world
with Lifestyles for Sustainable
Environment (LiFE).
Due to the impact of climate
change, ensuring food and nu-
tritional security will be cru-
cial. Millets, or Shree Anna,
can help with this while also
boosting climate-smart agricul-
ture. In the International Year
of Millets, we have taken mil-
lets to global palates. The Dec-
can High Level Principles on
Food Security and Nutrition is
also helpful in this direction.
Technology is transforma-
tive but it also needs to be made
inclusive. In the past, the ben-
efits of technological advance-
ments have not benefited all
sections of society equally. In-
dia, over the last few years, has
shown how technology can be
leveraged to narrow inequali-
ties, rather than widen them.
For instance, the billions
across the world that remain un-
banked,orlackdigitalidentities,
can be financially included
throughdigitalpublicinfrastruc-
ture (DPI). The solutions we
have built using our DPI have
now been recognised globally.
Now, through the G20, we will
helpdevelopingcountriesadapt,
build, and scale DPI to unlock
the power of inclusive growth.
That India is the fastest-
growing large economy is no
accident. Our simple, scalable
and sustainable solutions have
empowered the vulnerable and
the marginalised to lead our de-
velopment story. From space to
sports, economy to entrepre-
neurship, Indian women have
taken the lead in various sectors.
They have shifted the narrative
from the development of wom-
en to women-led development.
Our G20 Presidency is working
on bridging the gender digital
divide, reducing labour force
participation gaps and enabling
a larger role for women in lead-
ership and decision-making.
For India, the G20 Presiden-
cy is not merely a high-level
diplomatic endeavour. As the
Mother of Democracy and a
model of diversity, we opened
the doors of this experience to
the world.
Today, accomplishing things
atscaleisaqualitythatisassoci-
ated with India. The G20 Presi-
dency is no exception. It has
become a people-driven move-
ment. Over 200 meetings will
have been organised in 60 Indi-
an cities across the length and
breadth of our nation, hosting
nearly 100,000 delegates from
125 countries by the end of our
term. No Presidency has ever
encompassed such a vast and
diverse geographical expanse.
It is one thing to hear about
India’s demography, democra-
cy, diversity and development
from someone else. It is totally
different to experience them
first-hand. I am sure our G20
delegates would vouch for this.
Our G20 Presidency strives to
bridge divides, dismantle barri-
ers, and sow seeds of collabora-
tion that nourish a world where
unity prevails over discord,
where shared destiny eclipses
isolation. As the G20 President,

“CHANGING 'INDIA' TO 'BHARAT'
WILL NOT SERVE ANY PURPOSE”
Lucknow: BSP chief Mayawati on
Wednesday urged the SC to take
suo motu cognizance of shallow
politics being done on
'Bharat' and 'INDIA' and
demanded a ban on all po-

name of the country. The
leader made the remark
without clarifying whether
she wanted a ban on bodies formed with
‘India’ or ‘Bharat’ in their names.

at the Centre questioning
them as to which of their
promises were fulfilled. “What will you
get by changing the name? he asked.

beyond Delhi for hosting

have been due to con-

rime Minister
Narendra Modi
said onWednes-
day that the Nataraja
statue installed at Bharat
Mandapam, the conven-
tion centre which will
host key G20 summit
meetings, will stand as a
testament to India’s age-
old artistry and traditions.
He was responding on
X to the Indira Gandhi
National Centre for the
Arts’s post about the stat-
ue which, it said, is made
of Ashtadhatu.
“The27feettall,18-ton-
weight statue is the tallest
statuemadeofAshtadhatu
and is sculpted by the re-
nowned sculptor Rad-
hakrishnan Sthapaty of
Swami Malai in Tamil
Nadu and his team in a re-
cord 7 months. 34 genera-
tions of Radhakrishnan
have been making idols
since the Chola Empire
period. This statue of Na-
taraja, an important sym-
bol of cosmic energy,
creativity,and power, is
going to be an attraction at
the G20 summit”, it said.
Modi posted, “The
magnificent Nataraja
statue at Bharat Manda-
pam brings to life aspects
of our rich history and
culture. As the world
gathers for the G20 sum-
mit, it will stand as a tes-
tament to India’s age-old

‘XI MISSING G20
NOT UNUSUAL’
India’s diversity and its extraordinary successes means it is
the “right country” at the “right time” to hold the G20
presidency. This country’s scale, diversity and its
extraordinary successes means India is the right
country at the right time to hold the G20 Presidency. I
pay tribute to Prime Minister Modi’s leadership over
the last year and it’s wonderful to see India showing
such global leadership. I am hugely proud of my
Indian roots and my connections to India. As you know,
my wife is Indian and being a proud Hindu

DOP DEJECTING BABUDOM?
With juniors as Collectors, IAS Vishram
Harji Atal confused on their ‘future’!

AS Vishram
Meena (2009
batch) and Harji
Lal Atal (2012 batch) are
a puzzled lot as to why
didn’t the DoP do justice
with them? When OSDs
in 28 districts have been
appointed as Collectors,
then why have they been
left out?
Vishram Meena has
been kept OSD of newly
formed Jaipur Rural dis-
trict and Harji lal Atal has
beenkeptOSDofJodhpur
Rural district. Vishram
Meena is extra perplexed
sincehehasservedasBar-
mer Collector in 2020,
although this is also an in-
terestingaspectthatincur-
rent govt he has been
transferred eleven times.
Atal’s story is even
more interesting. He was
first appointed as OSD
Sanchore, thereafter, he
was appointed as OSD
Neem Ka Thana and then
through the August 7
transfer list, he was ap-
pointed as OSD of Jodh-
pur Rural district.
The duo are confused
that when their peers and
even their juniors have
been appointed as Collec-
tors, then why have they
been kept on hold? As of
now, it can not be said
how many days they will
have to wait for it.
Meanwhile,aninterest-
ing coincidence has been
observed,regardingtrans-
fer and posting, in the En-
ergy Department as well.
Over the past 10 months,

Congress National Presi-
dent Mallikarjun Kharge,
while addressing the
‘Kissan Sammelan’ or-
ganised in Gulabpura in
Bhilwara on Wednesday,
said that despite doing so
much work, BJP leaders
are trying to scare Con-
gress leaders. “It is said
that I have ‘Red Diary’.
Yellow Diary. ‘Black Di-
ary’. Brother, keep your
diary with you. If there is
anything, bring it up. We
will fight in court,” he
said.
Kharge, while giving a
kind of advice to the
leaders of Rajasthan be-
fore the assembly elec-
tions, said that in Con-
gress all the leaders con-
test elections together but
there is only one ‘Cap-
tain’. The Congress Pres-
ident praised the schemes
of the Congress govern-
ment in Rajasthan. De-
scribing the Rajasthan
government’s welfare
and social justice as an
‘excellent model’, he ap-
pealed to the people to
bring Congress back to
power.
Kharge said, “Don’t
try to scare us. That’s
why Rahul Gandhi has
said that don’t be afraid.
May you unite with cour-
age and fight today’s
challenges in collective
leadership. Everyone al-
ways fights together in
the Congress. But there is
only one captain. The
work that is being done
today is being done under
CM’s leadership. For this
we all should help him.
We have to give this mes-
sage among the people
that if Congress govern-
ment comes again then
everyone will be happy
and prosperous.”
Kharge said, “BJP has
not been given the right
to rule to abuse Opposi-
tion. They don’t talk
about the basic problems
of people. Our people are
being intimidated. ED,
CBI raids are being con-
ducted. I have been in
politics for 57 years. Out
of 13, I have lost only one
election. There is no ac-
count of how many peo-
ple from BJP-RSS went
to jail for independence.”
Revenue Minister
Ramlal Jat has described
CMAshok Gehlot as Lok
Devta. “I now want to
call a ‘Lok Devta’, who is
giving benefit of Rs

house in this Kalyug. I
am inviting such Ashok

Radhe-Radhe! City First greets all its readers on
the auspicious occasion of Krishna Janmashtami
and pray that each one us receives blessings
from the Lord and eternal bliss and peace
pervades within us and the world
Anita Hada
anita.hada@
firstindianews.com
n the occasion of
Krishna Janmashtami,
as we submerge our-
selves in the bhakti of
our Supreme Lord, it
is a time to rejoice that
we live in Bharat
where Lord Krishna gave such teachings
to humankind that they have withstood
centuries and the test of time as Eternal
Wisdom. In fact, I feel that in the world of
today with all its tribulations as we live
surrounded by the chaos of the modern
era, the lessons of Bhagavat Gita can guide
us onto the path of bliss and eternal joy.
Remember, this joyful, blissful child
whom we adore as Kanha, Makhanchor
is also the Dwarkadheesh, Lord of the
Universe and the Protector of Dharma.
Till Lord Krishna was in Vrindavan, he
held the flute, looked after the cows and
wooed the Gopis but as Dwarkadheesh he
held the Sudarshan Chakra and protected
all those who prayed to him, each and
everyone who called to him be it Ruk-
mini, Sudama, Draupadi or Arjuna.
In Srimad Bhagvatam, he shows us the
path to attainment of God through the per-
fect amalgamation of the fourYogas- Kar-
ma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Rāja Yoga and
Jñāna Yoga- for the householder (the gra-
hasth) and the Monk (the Sanyasi).
Today, let us strive and promise to our-
selves, that we shall try and follow the
path shown by the Lord himself of selfless
service and sadhana.

undi: A re-
cent revela-
tion, has
t h r o w n
fresh light
on a rock
painting in Bundi claiming it
to be of the third century
BCE of the Vrishni heroes,
also referred to as Five He-
roes or “Pancha-Viras.” This
rock shelter at Naldah in
Bundi garners interest be-
cause it is the only depiction
related to Panca – Vrsni, Vi-
ras in India where the five
heroes are shown standing
side by side. Based on his-
torical research they have
been identified as Vāsudeva-
Krishna, Samkarsana Bal-
ram, Praduman, Samb and
Aniruddh.
“The most striking aspect
of the art is the representa-
tion of divinity with the help
of haloes over the heads of
two figures. Dating almost
2300 years ago, this is the
earliest representation of
‘Vṛṣṇis’ in any form of art,”
reads Dr Vinay Gupta a re-
search scholar with the Ar-
cheological Survey of India,
(ASI), published paper.
The fact that there is evi-
dence in the Bhagwata cult
of the Vrishni heroes and the
‘Vayu Puran’ wherein not
just Krishna but his brother
Balram, his son Samb and
Praduman and his grandson
Aniruddh were all wor-
shipped together also cor-
roborates the depiction of the
five heroes.
Located near village Ke-
wariya about an hour away
from Bundi city, the rock
shelter site is part of the
Greater Braj region and lies
on the route linking Mathura
with Tumain, and Ujjain in
Madhya Pradesh. The evi-
dence in the form of a rock
painting dates to the Mau-
ryan period and is nestled
along a small seasonal tribu-
tary, Mangli which merges
with the Mez River of the
Chambal. Undecipherable to
the common eye, this rock
painting was discovered by
an archaeology enthusiast,
Om Prakash alias ‘Kuki,’ a
name synonymous with pre-
historic rock art in the re-
gion.
The two figures in the rock
art on the extreme left and
right are properly shown
with haloes and can be iden-
tified as Vāsudeva-Kṛṣṇa
and Balarāma. Most of the
figures appear with their
hands held akimbo and they
are shown connected by a
long piece of cloth, running
like a rope. The one to the
extreme right either possibly
holds a chakra in his left
hand tied to a rope and can
be identified as Vāsudeva-
Kṛṣṇa whereas the one to the
extreme left either possibly
holds a ‘hala’(plough-share).
Besides. the three male
figures in between these two
deities can be identified as
Pradyumna, Sāmba and An-
iruddha with no differentiat-
ing or identifying marks ex-
cept for the fact that some
stylization is done over their
heads, possibly indicating
their divine nature,” reads Dr
Gupta research.

in the saga of the Mahabharata, and Vrsni is the clan in
which the most famous of the Mahabharata characters,

were worshipped either as individual deities (heroes) or

thecharmingsightoflittle
children, dressed as
Krishna and Radha,
adorning various events
and school programs.
Krishna Janmashtami,
often referred to as Jan-
mashtami or Gokulashta-
mi, is a festival that ex-
udes a vibrant aura of
spirituality and devotion.
It marks the birth of Lord
Krishna, the eighth incar-
nation of Lord Vishnu,
who is fondly known as
the “makhan chor” or the
butter thief. The story of
Krishna’s birth is inter-
twined with legends and
tales of his divine esca-
pades, making it a day of
immense significance.
One of the most en-
chanting aspects of this
festivalistheparticipation
of children, who trans-
form into adorable little
Krishnas and Radhas.
These young souls, with
their colorful attire and
playful demeanor, bring
the tales of Krishna to life.
From donning the iconic
peacock feather-adorned
crown to wielding a toy
flute, these children radi-
ate the charm and inno-
cence that Lord Krishna
himself embodied.
Schools play a vital
role in fostering this tra-
dition, organising spe-
cial programs and events
to commemorate Krish-
na Janmashtami. These
gatherings not only edu-
cate the younger genera-
tion about the rich cul-
tural heritage of India
but also instill values of
compassion, love, and
devotion that Lord
Krishna personifies.
Through skits, dances,
and recitations, students
pay homage to this di-
vine figure, immersing
themselves in the spirit
of the festival.
Yet, the celebration ex-
tendsbeyondtheconfines
of educational institu-
tions. Families, too, play
anintegralpartinkeeping
the tradition alive. Par-
entsenthusiasticallydress
their little ones as Krishna
and Radha, with intricate
attention to detail. Tiny
turbans, vibrant attire,
and even the little pot of
butter carried by these
pint-sized deities create
an atmosphere of joy and
reverence within homes.
It is heartwarming to
witness these young
Krishna and Radha ava-
tars, whose innocence
reminds us of the purity
of devotion. The essence
of Krishna Janmashtami
lies not just in rituals but
in the love and reverence
it inspires in people’s
hearts, young and old
alike.
As we cele-
brate this beau-
tiful day, let us
reflect on the
teachings of
LordKrishna,
his message
of righteous-
ness,duty,and
devotion. City
First embraces
the spirit of uni-
ty and love that this
festival symbolizes,
transcendingbound-
aries and bringing
people together in a
tapestry of cultures
and beliefs, with
some glimpses
shared with us
by our dear
readers!
