Chennai Sandesh

28 October, 2013
A rural tradition of Bihar shows
the way
Ways
and ways of meaningful celebration of Swami Vivekananda 150th
Jayanthi are there. ‘Swami Vivekananda
Social Service Centre’ of Chennai distributed 1000 mango saplings to women
self-help groups functioning in Chembarambakkam and Alathur, two villages near
Chennai. The idea is derived from the
social tradition of planting 10 mango saplings whenever a girl child is born in
the family in Darhara village in Bhagalpur District, Bihar. The 10 trees grow up along with the girl and
yield sufficient fruits and money is required for marrying off the girl later
in life. The Service Centre’s programme held on October 10, was addressed by
Smt.Gomathi Navin, Secretary Rashtra Sevika Samiti Tamilnadu.
‘The Sangh training that saved
hundreds of lives’: The New Indian Express
In
an honorable exception, the New Indian Express of Chennai printed on its page
1 on October 28 a few good words about RSS.
Read on: “It could have been a stampede if BJP leaders had not adopted a
tactical strategy to meet such an emergency. “We immediately came to know about
the blasts taking place at regular intervals. We kept announcing that crackers
had exploded,” said BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi. He added that all speakers,
including Narendra Modi, avoided mentioning the blasts as it could have caused
a stampede. An expert felt the rally was managed in a difficult situation due
to the cadre’s training in the RSS and Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad.” As
an instant reaction to the news of blast in the Patna rally, several towns in
Tamilnadu witnessed BJP workers hitting the road to protest against violence of
the jihadis, following the statement of the State Unit Chief of BJP, Pon
Radhakrishnan, that two days protest demonstrations will be held throughout the
State.
Pathaka sales Dhamaka in Chennai
Sivakasi,
the Deepavali cracker manufacturing town of Tamilnadu has reason to celebrate
this year, with sales of crackers going up like the aerial shots (rockets)
sales. This has only to be compared with
the slide in sales in the previous years, Church propaganda being one of the
reasons. Missionary schools instigated
the children not to fire crackers on Deepavali day because crackers are
products by Child labor. A few
karyakarthas broke this propaganda bubble through newspaper articles. Also, this year, the State Government had to
provide logistics like rows and rows of tent sheet stalls on Government land in
Chennai for cracker sales, keeping in view the safety aspect. In addition, traders offered quite a number
of freebies to customers who buy considerable amount of crackers.

The sheer callousness of the Nitish Kumar Govt caused the loss of human lives in Patna and injury to several others. .Credit should be given to the Sangh Pariwar for maintaining utmost discipline and preventing a stampede after the blasts.
