“NATION FIRST, ALWAYS FIRST”
CELEBRATING INDEPENDENCE DAY
@77!
Glorious
Take the country to new heights
of progress, says Kalraj Mishra
Gratitude to freedom fighters
for their sacrifice: CM Gehlot
arendra Modi will become the first non-Congress
Prime Minister to hoist the national Tricolour from ram-
parts of Red Fort for the 10th time today. With hoisting
the national flag on the 77th Independence Day, PM Narendra
Modi will equal the record of former PM Manmohan Singh of
hoisting the tricolour for 10 consecutive times. PM Modi will
also address nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort. Apart
from Manmohan Singh, only Nehru & Indira Gandhi have
hoisted the flag more than 10 times at the Red Fort.
Governor Kalraj Mishra
greeted nation, people
of State on the occasion of
77th Independence Day.
Mishra called upon the peo-
ple of the state to take the
country to new heights of progress
on the strength of their hard work,
dedication and innovation.
He has appealed to people
of State to hoist tricolour at
their homes. He will hoist
tricolour Flag hoisting at Raj
Bhavan at 9.15 am. Assem-
bly Speaker Dr CP Joshi greeted
the nation on I-Day.
Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot said that this
day gives an opportunity to
express gratitude to those
freedom fighters and mar-
tyrs, who gave freedom to
country by sacrificing everything
in freedom struggle. “We all bow
down to their sacrifice. It is
the duty of all of us to firmly
face the challenges facing
the democratic and constitu-
tional values in the present
circumstances and remain
united against the forces that harm
them,” Gehlot said.

As the #HarGharTiranga
campaign called for by PM @
narendramodi Ji is underway
it is my earnest appeal to the people of
India to hoist the National Flag at their
homes and upload selfies on http://
harghartiranga.com. Also please
encourage fellow citizens to do the
same. Cherishing India’s spirit of unity
and fraternity I hoisted the Tiranga at
my residence in Delhi today.

A
ddressing nation on the eve
of the 77th Independence
Day, President Drou-
padi Murmu on Monday said “the
world looks up to India for global
economic growth”, adding that the
citizens are enthusiastic about
events related to G-20. She said,
‘Each Indian has many identities
like caste, creed, language
but identity as Indian
citizen is above
all. Women have
made special
place in many
fields.’
“As we rejoice in progress
and achievements of 77
years, let us honour
extraordinary sacri-
fices of our valiant
freedom fighters
that enabled India
to become inde-
pendent. Let us build prosperous
India that embodies rich civiliza-
tional ethos of ‘Bharat’, says VP
Jagdeep Dhankhar.”

Partition Remembrance Day is an
occasion to reverently remember
those Indians whose lives were
sacrificed in the partition of the country.
Along with this, this day also reminds
us of the suffering and struggle of those
who were forced to bear the brunt of
displacement. I salute all such people.
Narendra Modi
@narendramodi
The partition of the country on the basis of
religion in 1947 is a dark chapter in history.
The hatred it generated has killed lakhs and
displaced crores of people. The country had to pay a
heavy price for this and many people are still facing the
brunt of this menace. Today, on ‘Partition Vibhishika
Memorial Day’
, I bow down to all those people who lost
their lives and their family members due to partition.

TRANQUILITY IS
UNDER THREAT IN
PARTS OF HARYANA
espite the violence in Nuh earlier this month
having claimed several lives, parts of Hary-
ana are refusing to calm down. Some people
continue to be belligerent towards a minority com-
munity. A fresh call for boycott of minorities and
taking out of religious procession has come from a
mahapanchayat held at Palwal. The religious proces-
sion taken out in Nuh earlier this month was stopped
after violence broke out. The mahapanchayat was
allowed on the condition that there won’t be hate
speeches. One of the speakers told his audience to
buy rifles “as they shoot farther” and demanded
Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar’s replacement
by someone like UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath
who now has a larger than life image for being firm
in dealing with minorities. However,YogiAdityanath
has not backed any call for economic and social boy-
cott of a particular community. The main speaker
even dared the administration to stop the yatra. Un-
bridled utterances pose a threat to harmony.
D
CONG’S GRAFT CHARGE
MAY NOT TRUMP BJP
ongress party is trying to copy its Karnataka
strategy to win the Assembly elections in
Madhya Pradesh. The tactic may not work
out given the difference between the two states. In
Karnataka, campaign against the 40 percent commis-
sion government began after a contractor committed
suicide and accused the former minister for rural de-
velopment KS Eshwarappa of asking for bribe. The
minister was subsequently given a clean chit but the
contractors’ lobby went public against the then Ba-
savaraj Bommai government for being corrupt.
In Madhya Pradesh the Congress has used social
media platform ‘X’ to allege that the Shivraj Patil
government is tak-
ing 50 percent
commission from
contractors. The al-
legation is based on
a letter by a person
named Gyanendra
Awasthi. Unlike in
Karnataka, this ap-
pears to be a case
built on flimsy
ground and may
not stand scrutiny.
Questions are
bound to crop up
about the genuine-
ness of Awasthi,
whose identity is
yet unknown and
on what basis he
has made an allega-
tion of such a seri-
ous nature.
Cases have been
registered against
AICC general sec-
retary Priyanka
Gandhi Vadra, her X (earlier Twitter) account han-
dlers and former Chief Minister Kamal Nath in 40
districts of the state, which is as inexplicable as the
allegation by the Congress leaders. The allegation
against Karnataka’s Eshwarappa could not be proved
but the contractors stood their ground. The faceless
person’s allegation in Madhya Pradesh, described by
the BJP as defamatory, has been forwarded to the
Chief Justice of the state’s high court. That doesn’t
lend it any credibility and may not help the Congress.

have the
power to
erase memo-
ries of slavery. From the
Charkha, that became the
symbol of the Swadeshi
movement in 1905 to the
new Indian Navy “Ni-
shaan” inspired by the seal
of Chhatrapati Shivaji, In-
dia has come a long way in
shedding off the burden of
colonial ensigns thrust by
the British Raj. The use of
state symbols as a key ele-
ment in nation building has
helped PM Modi in unify-
ing the people and in the
creation of “Ek Bharat,
Shreshta Bharat”.
PM Modi’s nationalistic
fervour clearly transcends
the changes in the physical
to the symbolic representa-
tions of national identity.
There have been voices
raised in opposition citing
this attempt as tampering
with history; however, this
is about deleting the stamp
of colonial occupation of
India. Why this discourse
rings true is because just
like other aspects of iden-
tity, national identity too is
to be learnt. Citizens are
not born with it. National
identity is a construction;
and PM Modi has done just
that by making Indian na-
tionalism relatable to the
everyday way of life.
The transformation of
Rajpath to Kartavya Path
is one pressing example of
how visual and semantic
communicative processes
are at play speaking an un-
spoken language of Indian
nationalism negating the
colonial past. The 28 ft
hologram statue of Sub-
hash Chandra Bose carved
from a monolithic block of
black Telengana granite
replacing the imposing
marble statue of King
George V, under the India
Gate canopy, was a bold
message that the mistakes
the disputatious leaders
who have led India since
Independence could not
correct, will be corrected
by the BJP.
Also, no one generates
positivity around “Roado-
nomics” better than PM
Modi. From ‘Aurangzeb
Road’that is now ‘APJAb-
dul Kalam Road’, ‘Race
Course Road’ which is
‘Lok Kalyan Marg’, ‘Dal-
housie Road’which now is
‘Darah Shikoh Road’, In-
dian cities, villages, rail-
way stations, universities
and other places too have
not remained untouched
from this policy of name
change.Allahabad to Pray-
agraj, Faizabad to Ayod-
hya, Gurgaon to Guru-
gram, Mewat to Nuh, these
changes too reflect upon
govt’s ideological pursuit
to reclaim past glory.
Now, just before the
77th Independence Day,
PM Modi replaced three
colonial-era criminal laws
and introduced the Nyaya
Sanhita Bill, Bharatiya Na-
grik Suraksha Sanhita Bill,
and Bhartiya Sakshya Bill.
While the Sanhitas will be
scrutinized by a Parlia-
mentary Standing Com-
mittee, there are reserva-
tions over the Hindi names
that have been given to the
Indian Penal Code (1860),
whose architect was
Thomas Babington Ma-
caulay, the Criminal Pro-
cedure Code (1898) and
the Indian Evidence Act
(1872). Some may pro-
nounce this name chang-
ing spree as Hindi imperi-
alism, but the fact remains
that there is much more to
the amendments than just
the name.
Keeping in line with the
“Panch Pran” PM Modi
took last year from the
ramparts of the Red Fort
on Independence day, of
which the second was to
“erase all traces of servi-
tude” and third to “be
proud of our legacy”, PM
Modi has kept his promise
to the citizens by overhaul-
ing the freedom narrative
from its roots and launch-
ing scathing strikes on an-
ything servile holding in
chains a colonial past.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
NEW HINDI
IMPERIALISM
Now, just before the 77th
Independence Day, PM Modi
replaced three colonial-era
criminal laws and introduced
the Nyaya Sanhita Bill,
Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha
Sanhita Bill, and Bhar-
tiya Sakshya Bill. While the
Sanhitas will be scrutinized
by a Parliamentary Stand-
ing Committee, there are
reservations over the Hindi
names that have been given
to the Indian Penal Code
(1860), whose architect was
Thomas Babington Macaulay,
the Criminal Procedure
Code (1898) and the Indian
Evidence Act (1872).
Some may pronounce this
name changing spree as
Hindi imperialism, but the fact
remains that there is much
more to the amendments
than just the name. Keep-
ing in line with the “Panch
Pran” PM Modi took last year
from the ramparts of the Red

of which the second was to
“erase all traces of servitude”
and third to “be proud of our

narrative from its roots and

on anything servile holding

India’s retail inflation
jumped sharply to a nine-
month high of 7.44 per
cent in July, according to
official data. This marks
a significant increase
over the 4.87 per cent re-
corded in June. The con-
sumer price index-based
inflation was widely ex-
pected by economists to
be above the Reserve
Bank of India’s upper tol-
erance limit of 6 per cent.
However, the actual fig-
ure is higher than what
most experts had esti-
mated. With this, the re-
tail inflation breached the
RBI’s 2-6 per cent thresh-
old after four months.
Surge has come in wake
of a sharp rise in veg
prices over few months.

test from JJPon the Dan-

Minister Pralhad Joshi
said that people have
been seeing who is a
‘demon’since the Emer-
gency era.
He said that Congress
turned voters into ‘de-
mons’, which is an insult
to the voters and it also
reflects the ‘egoist men-
tality’ of the Congress
party. Joshi said that the
party should uncondi-
tionally apologise for
the comments of Sur-
jewala.
He said that the law
and order situation is de-
teriorating day by day
and there is no fear of
law left among crimi-
nals. “Criminals get pro-
tection because of the
appeasement policy of
the state government,”
he said.
“Rapes and murders
are happening daily in
Rajasthan. A saint was
murdered in Didwana
yesterday while Kan-
haiya Lal was brutally
murdered for supporting
Hindus last year,” he
said.
Regarding the coal
crisis, Joshi said that the
Rajasthan government
has been allotted coal
mines in Chhattisgarh
but due to an internal
fight of Congress, it was
not able to get coal.
Rita Singh joins the party in the presence of Ajay Chautala, Digvijay Chautala and other leaders
in Jaipur on Monday. She is likely to face her estranged husband in the Assembly polls.

“I had given the state-
ment not for the police

happened. The victim’s

Joshi also condemned

about the Student Union
elections,” Joshi said.

tacks on seers. This
sin of killing saints is

Raje said that the

take immediate action
in the murder case and
arrest the culprits.

tion Rajendra Rathore
said that atrocities on

under the Congress
government’s rule. He

Furious over cancellation
of Student union elections
in Rajasthan University,
students are protesting
across the state. A large
number of students protest-
ed at the main gate of RU in
Jaipur on Monday. Student
leaders sitting on hunger
strike termed the govern-
ment’s order as a black or-
dinance. ABVP workers
also reached Rajasthan Uni-
versity to protest. Around 1
pm, a large number of stu-
dents reached the Chamber
of the VC of the University
and locked it and protested.
In fact, students have
been sitting on a dharna
since Sunday night at Vive-
kananda Park, located in
front of the university gate.
After this, a large number of
students gathered on the
campus on Monday. During
this, all the students of
NSUI, ABVP, RLP and In-
dependents were present.
All the student leaders, in-
cluding NSUI, sat on strike
for an indefinite period. Of
these, eight student leaders
sat on an indefinite hunger
strike. Students said that
students’union elections are
the first step in politics.
After the ban on the Stu-
dent union elections, there
is resentment in the stu-
dent organisations. On
Monday, students of NSUI
and Akhil Bharatiya Vid-
yarthi Parishad jointly
raised slogans and demon-
strated at Maharishi Day-
anand Saraswati Univer-
sity. There was a scuffle
between the police and the
students. The students sub-
mitted a memorandum to
the Vice-Chancellor in the
name of Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot and Gover-
nor Kalraj Mishra.

The suspended Mayor of
JMC Heritage, Munesh
Gurjar faces the likeli-
hood of dismissal from
the post. The state gov-
ernment issued two sepa-
rate chargesheets to
Munesh on August 11
and sought her reply. She
has to present the answer
to the government byAu-
gust 17. If the govt is not
satisfied with Munesh’s
answer, then she can be
dismissed from the post
after a judicial inquiry.
She was suspended after
her husband Sushil Gur-
jar was arrested by the
ACB along with 2 others
in a graft case.
The LSG has served a
notice to suspended
Mayor of Jaipur Heritage
Municipal Corporation
Munesh Gurjar for mis-
behavior withAdditional
Commissioner.
The department has
sought clarification from
Gurjar in 3 days. The de-
partment has made alle-
gations of keeping file
pending with her for no
reasons due to which the
controversy aroused.
According to the de-
partment, due to this situ-

ndia’s Chan-

spacecraft has
moved closer to the moon
after performing its third
lunar orbit reduction.
This means that the craft
hasbeengraduallymoved
from a highly-elliptical
orbit (174 km x 1437 km)
to a near-circular orbit
(150km x 177km) around
the Moon. In an elliptical
orbit, there is a huge dif-
ference between the
craft’s nearest point to the
moon (perilune) and far-
thest point to the moon
(apolune). In a near-cir-
cular orbit, there is a very
minor difference between
perilune and apolune.
“Orbit circularisation
phase commences. Pre-
cise maneuvre performed
todayhasachievedanear-
circular orbit of 150 km x
177 km. The next opera-
tion is planned forAugust
16, 2023, around 0830 hrs
IST,” ISRO posted on X
(formerly Twitter).
ISRO’s next target is to
bringthecrafttoacircular
orbitwherethecraftis100
km above the lunar sur-
face. This is what ISRO
calls the orbit circularisa-
tion phase. When this or-
bit is achieved, the space-
craft will be at a constant
100kmdistanceabovethe
moon, at any period of
time in that orbit.
“When the craft is cir-
cling around the moon, a
command is issued to re-
orient the craft by 180 de-
grees. This re-orientation
will ensure that the craft’s
engine(s) can be used as a
brake. Such engine firings
areknownasretro-firings.
In retro-firing, the engine
is not pushing the craft
forward. Instead, it is
pushing the craft in a di-
rection opposite to its
original direction of
movementanditwillslow
down the craft,” Dr
Mylswamy Annadurai,
former director of ISRO’s
UR Rao Satellite Centre.
When the craft was cir-
clingtheearth,commands
were issued to fire the en-
gines and push the craft
further away from the
earth (orbit-raising ma-
noeuvres). In those cases,
the engine was fired to
propel the craft forward
and impart more velocity
to it. In retro-firing (op-
posite firing), the engine
firing is done in an oppo-
site direction, thereby re-
ducing the velocity of the
craft and lowering its or-
bit. These are the funda-
mental differences be-
tween orbit-raising ma-
noeuvres and orbit-reduc-
tion manoeuvres.

The Congress-ruled Kar-
nataka government on
Monday declared that it
would scrap the National
Education Policy (NEP)
of the previous BJP gov-
ernment from the next
academic year.
Chief Minister SId-
daramaiah made this an-
nouncement. “The NEP
implemented by the pre-
vious BJP government
would be scrapped from
the next academic year,”
Siddaramaiah declared.
“Certain required
preparation has to be
done before scrapping
the NEP. There was no
time available in the cur-
rent academic year for
this. When the govern-
ment was formed follow-
ing the elections, the aca-
demic year had begun,”
he explained.
The NEPwill continue
in this academic year
keeping the hardships of
the students in mind if it
is scrapped abruptly, SId-
daramaiah stated.

INDIA'S G20 PRESIDENCY RECOGNITION OF ITS
RISE AS WORLD POWER: US CONGRESSMAN
New Delhi: India should be a permanent member
of the UN Security Council and its G20 presi-
dency is an appropriate recognition of its rise as
a world power, influential US Congressman Ro Khanna
said on Monday. In an exclusive interview to PTI, Khan-
na said India can play a “helpful role” in bringing “just
peace” to Ukraine considering its “historical relationship”
with Russia. The Indian-American Congressman, cur-
rently on a visit to New Delhi, also asserted that China
must respect its borders with India and that Washington
would strongly support New Delhi if it faces any security
challenge. Khanna and Congressman Michael Waltz, the
two co-chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Caucus on
India and Indian Americans, are leading a Congressional
delegation to India. Describing India’s G-20 presidency
as “very consequential”, Khanna said the country should
be in the UN Security Council considering its rising
global profile. “India should be in the UN Security Coun-
cil. Let’s be very candid about it given the changes in the
world’s power and economy.,” he said.
