Ghadar Party Foundation Day

15 July 1913. It was not in Delhi, not in Lahore, not in Kolkata, and not in Mumbai that one of Bharat’s greatest revolutionary movements was born. It was born thousands of kilometres away from the motherland, in Astoria, Oregon, USA, where a group of Bharatiyas who had left their homes in search of work and opportunity refused to forget the land that gave them birth. They gathered under the leadership of Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna, with visionaries like Lala Har Dayal, and many other patriots, to establish what would become known as the Ghadar Party. They believed that even though they lived on foreign soil, their hearts belonged to Bharat. Their mission was simple yet extraordinary—to end British rule and see Bharat free.

Hubert Reeves: Man Is The Most Insane Species

Today, 13 July, is the birth anniversary of Hubert Reeves (1932–2023), a visionary astrophysicist whose profound reflections on science, nature, and humanity are more relevant than ever.

He reminded us that understanding the cosmos should not merely expand our knowledge—it should deepen our humility, awaken our compassion, and strengthen our resolve to protect the only home we have: Earth.

Bajaj Finserv’s recent “Daya Ki Kahani” featuring Aamir Khan is more than just an advertisement—it is a reminder that careers should never come at the cost of creativity.

Nikola Tesla and Swami Vivekananda: A Historic Meeting of Science and Spirituality

On 10 July, the birth anniversary of Nikola Tesla, it is fitting to remember one of the most fascinating intellectual encounters of the nineteenth century—his meeting with Swami Vivekananda in New York during the mid-1890s.

Their conversations remain an inspiring example of how science and spirituality can engage in meaningful dialogue.

Satluj: A Saint, A Super Cop and A Human Rights Activist

The movie Satluj has been facing delays for the last three years. The CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) changed its title several times. Originally, it was titled Ghallughara, then Punjab 95, and finally Satluj. The CBFC asked for 127 cuts, but the makers did not agree. Eventually, the movie was released on Zee5, but after two days it was taken down in India. However, people are still watching pirated copies by downloading them from the internet. Once a movie is released, no one can completely stop people from watching it in this high-tech world. The government says that it could pose a risk to national security, not because of the movie itself, but because some people might use it to influence the people of Punjab, negatively affect the state, or incite unrest among viewers. It is now being screened in gurdwaras across the country, while others argue that it presents the truth and serves the national interest. At the same time, Batwara has also yet to be released, and with the Punjab Assembly elections scheduled for 2027, many people are questioning the timing of these developments and asking who stands to benefit. As the political decisions are often driven not by national or anti-national interests but by self-interest. Time will tell how these events shape public opinion.
