Podcasts about Red Fort

For the next few days, you can listen to a couple of stories every single day.And That's because on our podcast we will have some special storytellers!! We have middle and high school students who through the summer have been learning about how to craft their own stories and then produce them on a podcast.Free activity sheet available at www.rituvaish.com/podcast-summer-camp. Let's give a warm welcome MihikaTranscriptOnce upon a time, there were two girls living in Mexico, Anna and Bella. They were best friends and did everything together. They went on trips, played, and went to party together. If one couldn't go somewhere, other wouldn't go either. One day, they made plans to go to India. It's gonna be so fun! I just know it! Bella Said with Joy. Let's get our visa's right now!! Anna I said. They booked their flight and got their visas. Few days later, they were about to board their plane, when Anna realized she had left her boarding pass and she didn't have a phone for her identification, so Bella boarded the player and Anna went back home, tears rolling down her cheek.The next day, Anna found her ticket and boarded another plane to India. Oh no! Anna a thought, worried. How will I know where Bella is? When she got off the plane, she found a piece of paper which looks like an itinerary. It was in Bella‘s handwriting! She had planned four destination. Taj Mahal, Charminar, Red Fort and the India Gate. Those sound-like interesting places! Anna thought. She bought four bus tickets and used one for the first destination, Taj Mahal. She couldn't find Bella there. Anna felt sad. But she quickly cheered herself up by thinking ,well, Bella must have moved on.Hmmm…. What is the next destination? She checked the itinerary. Charminar! The next day, she used another bus ticket to go to Charminar. She couldn't find Bella there either. The following day, she missed the bus, so used the last one for the last destination. The India Gate. This time she came early at around 4 AM. She went to a nearby hotel and slept there for sometime. When it was time for breakfast, she saw Bella at the other end of the dining Hall.Anna came over to Bella. Hey Bella! Bella was surprised. What? How did you come here? How did you find me? Anna smiled. I came on another flight, and I found your itinerary. Wow! Bella said. Let's go home now, you must be exhausted.

In the early hours of Wednesday, May 7—well past midnight—India launched a precise, 23-minute military operation targeting nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. These locations were reportedly strongholds of two of the world’s most notorious terror groups: Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. Indian Rafale jets deployed SCALP and HAMMER missiles in the strikes, in what appeared to be a retaliatory act not only against the recent Pahalgam attack, but against a long history of terror incidents—Red Fort, Parliament, Mumbai train blasts, Pathankot, Uri, Pulwama—stretching back to the Kargil conflict. According to Indian government sources, over 100 militants were killed in the strikes. Pakistan launched a retaliatory attack using drones and missiles, reportedly aimed at as many as 15 cities across northern India. The Indian government stated that all incoming threats were intercepted, primarily using its S-400 air defence systems. India then escalated further, crossing deeper into Pakistani territory than ever before. It neutralized an air defence radar installation in Lahore and conducted operations in sites at Sialkot and even near Islamabad. This marks a significant shift in India’s military posture—from punitive strikes to potentially pre-emptive warfare. As the lines blur between militants, soldiers, and civilians, critical questions emerge: Is this the new normal in India’s security doctrine? How long can Pakistan withstand a prolonged conflict, economically and militarily? Will China’s support to Pakistan—currently limited to weapons supply—expand into something more direct? And, crucially, what diplomatic or military paths remain open for de-escalation before the region tips into broader instability?

In this gripping episode of History Rage Live, host Paul Bavill welcomes back historian and author Phil Craig to dive deep into the complexities of the Far East during the Second World War. Phil, a familiar voice from the podcast, returns to discuss his upcoming book, "1945: The Reckoning," set to release on April 24th. Together, they unravel the tangled narratives surrounding Subhas Chandra Bose and the Indian National Army, challenging the glorified myths that have emerged around his legacy.Key Discussion Points:The Controversial Legacy of Subhas Chandra Bose: Phil critiques the idolization of Bose, arguing that his alliances with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan overshadow his contributions to India's independence.Real Heroes of Independence: The episode contrasts Bose's actions with those of General Kodendira Sabaya Thimaya, who played a crucial role in the Indian Army's efforts against the Japanese forces, highlighting the often overlooked figures in the fight for freedom.The Role of Propaganda: Phil discusses how the narrative surrounding Bose has been shaped by media portrayals, including a recent Amazon Prime series that romanticizes his life while ignoring the darker truths.Red Fort Trials and Their Impact: The conversation examines the significance of the Red Fort trials in shaping public perception of Bose and his lieutenants, as well as their implications for Indian nationalism.Modern Relevance: Paul and Phil explore how Bose is perceived in contemporary India, particularly in the context of political figures like Prime Minister Modi, and the implications of celebrating a controversial figure.Guest Information:Pre-order Phil Craig's book "1945: The Reckoning" here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781399714495Follow Phil on Twitter: @philmcraigCheck out the Scandalmongers podcast on YouTube and your favorite podcast platforms.Support History Rage: For just £3 per month on Patreon or Apple, enjoy early access to episodes, ad-free listening, and exclusive content.

Delhi, India Part 1  In this episode, the FAQ is: My listeners ask: How do I check for the weather where I'm going?    Today's Destination is: Delhi, India   Today's Misstep- Stuck in India and missed the bus   Travel Advice: Ask a group of people for directions   FAQ: You asked me how to get the most reliable weather forecast:   Here's how> Use apps like AccuWeather, weather.com, and windy or local services, with hourly and long-range forecasts, radar maps, and severe weather alerts. For more local alerts, sign up for location-based apps on Google Weather or MyRadar.  Look for seasonal patterns that are already known. Goa, India has monsoons from June to September. Wind and rain forecasts like windy.com will tell you the wind and wave conditions, especially to help with beach plans. Check for Cyclone Warnings in places like coastal India.   Answer: Reliable Weather Apps and Websites: For accurate forecasts, use apps like AccuWeather, Weather.com, Windy, or local Indian weather services (like IMD). Many offer hourly and long-range forecasts, radar maps, and severe weather alerts. Localized Alerts: Sign up for location-based alerts on apps like Google Weather or MyRadar, which provide real-time weather updates for your location. This can be especially helpful for any sudden coastal storms or cyclones. Seasonal Patterns: Since you're going to Goa or nearby coastal regions, familiarize yourself with local weather patterns. For example, Goa experiences the monsoon season from June to September, with dry and sunny weather from October to March. Wind and Rain Forecasts: Coastal areas are affected by both rain and wind speed. Windy.com offers detailed wind and wave conditions, which can help with beach plans. Check for Cyclone Warnings: Especially in coastal India, monitor IMD's cyclone warnings as they provide updates on tropical storms that may affect Goa. Lastly, social media can help by using WhatsApp groups to get firsthand information from locals. Today's destination: Delhi, India Part 1 My visit to Delhi, or New Delhi, India  Which is it? New Delhi when referring to the specific district that serves as India's capital. New Delhi is a planned city developed during British rule and officially designated as the capital in 1931. Delhi refers to the larger metropolitan area, encompassing both New Delhi and other historical and residential parts like Old Delhi, which includes the Red Fort and Jama Masjid. Delhi is the correct term when speaking broadly about the city and its culture, so we will use that one here. After two weeks in India, visiting four southern cities, I flew north to Dehli from Goa, barely missing the seasonal monsoons. My flight had a Female co-pilot who Said hello to me with a big smile, which made me happy to see a woman pilot there.   The flight attendants checked my boarding tickets. Again, getting off the plane! That was a first. Who checks them getting off the plane? Should I take a Bus, train, or taxi to Agra? Even after arriving, I could not decide. I was overwhelmed with the decisions, but I knew I had to get there.  A taxi costs at least $6000 rupees each way, maybe more. Although this sounded like a lot, it was only $72 USD. Bus or train may be best. However, the temperature is

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Friday, 16 August 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started. When ChrysCapital's executives flew to Pune during the covid-19 pandemic, they were looking to invest in FirstCry, a baby products giant founded by Supam Maheshwari. They were struck by Maheshwari's modest office—a sharp contrast to the flashier setups of many new-age entrepreneurs. This meeting led to a 315 million dollar investment in the startup, boosting its valuation to nearly 2 billion dollars. Maheshwari, an introvert unlike the more outspoken Bhavish Aggarwal of Ola Electric, strategically builds businesses with an eye on the long game, focusing on deep market understanding rather than just following trends. Mint's startup reporter Sneha Shah explores the journey of Maheshwari, who has founded three unicorns - FirstCry, Xpressbees and Globalbees.  Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation for the 11th consecutive time from the Red Fort on Independence Day. In his first speech since assuming office for the third time, the prime minister spoke for 98 minutes, making it his longest Independence Day speech. He laid out many ambitious plans, from adding 75,000 medical seats over the next five years to ramping up India's renewable energy capacity to 500 gigawatts by 2030. Modi emphasized revamping agriculture with a big push towards natural farming, with plans to use advanced tech like drones, Dhirendra Kumar writes. He's also got his sights set on making India a powerhouse in semiconductor manufacturing to cut down on imports and boost self-sufficiency.  At IIMs - India's top management institutes -  students are facing a stagnant job market where median salaries haven't budged much.  Median pay - the salary a middle-ranked candidate would get - has stagnated. This is despite the continuous rise in tuition fees due to operational costs. For example, at IIM-Kozhikode, the median salary has been stuck at 27 lakh rupees for the past couple of years. This stagnation is attributed to global economic uncertainties and a cooling job market following the pandemic hiring spurts, reports Mint's Devina Sengupta. Despite this, institutes are revising their curriculums and infrastructure to better align with industry needs and ensure robust placement outcomes in the future.  India's law ministry is taking a big step towards transforming the country into a top spot for global arbitration. Mint's Manas Pimpalkhare reports that the ministry wants to streamline processes and cut down on the hefty legal bills the government faces as the country's most frequent litigant. They're studying how places like Singapore and the UK handle arbitration to figure out what changes are needed back home. One of the main goals is to speed up how arbitral awards—decisions made outside of court—are enforced, as Indian assets often get bogged down in other legal tangles, which slows things down. Indian liquor brands like Amrut, Rampur, and Indri are making a splash on the global stage, catching the eye of the growing Indian diaspora and other premium spirit lovers around the world. In fiscal year 2023-24 alone, overseas shipments of alcohol jumped to a cool 400 million dollars. Whisky's leading the charge with a whopping 67% surge in exports since fiscal year 2019-20, hitting about 5.8 million cases, writes Mint's Varuni Khosla. Radico Khaitan and Allied Blenders are at the forefront of this trend. Radico's not just winning over folks with its Rampur Indian single malt and Jaisalmer craft gin, but it's also now selling in over 100 countries. The buzz is spreading to beer, too. Goa's Latambarcem Brewers has started shipping their Maka Di Beer to the US, and Delhi's Medusa beer is setting sights on the UK.  Show notes: Inside the reticent mind of FirstCry's top bee—Supam MaheshwariPrime Minister Modi's I-Day speech: 75k medical seats, renewable energy goals and moreIIM grads get a reality check in a tight job marketIndia aims to be global arbitration hub.

Lal Kot / Qila Rai Pithora - settled by the Tomars and the Rajputs, including Prithviraj Chauhan 2. Siri - In 1192, Mohammad Ghori defeated Prithviraj, and left the region to his slave and commander, Qutbuddin Aibak, who built the city of Siri, which was also used and consolidated by the Khilji dynasty.  3. Tughlaqabad -  4. Jahanpanah - Ghiyassudin Tughlaq's impressive fort-city, which can still be visited, was cursed from the start, and his successor Mohammad bin Tughlaq fortified the walls of Qila Rai Pithora and Siri, and encapsulated them into a new city: Jahanpanah 5. Firozabad/ Feroz Shah Kotla - His successor, Feroz Shah Tughlaq, was the first to build a fort along the Yamuna, recognized as the fifth city of Delhi. Feroz Shah's city was humongous by the standards of the day, extending from the Northern Ridge (where the other Ashokan Pillar stands) to Hauz Khas 6. Shergarh - Then, Sher Shah Suri, upon defeating Humayun in 1540, returned to Indrapat, a purportedly ancient village, and built his city, Shergarh, at the same site. 7. Dinpanah  - Humayun came to power in 1555, and added to that, building the Purana Qila as his city, Dinpanah.Shah Jahan's great-grandfather, Humayun, too, had built a capital city there—Dinpanah, which later came to be called the Purana Qila or ‘Old Fort'.  8. Shahjahanabad  - Shahjahan was the next Mughal to reign from Delhi, and gave it the most recent historical city,Shahjahanabad. Northward along the Yamuna, it had fourteen gates, and enjoyed the Golden Era of Mughal rule. It continued to serve as the Mughal capital until the end of the dynasty in 1857, in the decades before which it saw a brilliant cultural renaissance, a time of high etiquette, courtly graces and flourishing literary and music culture. We talk about the main structures around which Shahjahanabad is structured - Red Fort and Jama Masjid We also speak about the different developments that came up between and around these structures including Chandni Chowk, mosques, temples, markets, food streets, nature and much more.  “Link to episode on Mangalore with Sampath Menon” - https://open.spotify.com/episode/1vVloNSFG0deaMUzzSuhUk?si=ia9whfB6Q4ePm7ZgKt5F8Q  Links: Link to Vishnu's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charithra.sanchari/ Photo by Sergio Capuzzimati on Unsplash Follow the Musafir stories on: Twitter : https://twitter.com/musafirstories?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themusafirstories/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/musafirstoriespodcast/?hl=en website: www.themusafirstories.com email: themusafirstories@gmail.com Do follow IVM Podcasts on social media.

This week on NL Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, Jayashree Arunachalam and Anand Vardhan are joined by author Tushar Gandhi. The conversation begins with Tushar recounting the police action against the silent march in Mumbai to commemorate the Quit India Movement, and the “insecurities” of the Maharashtra government. The panel divulges how a peaceful march is perceived as more dangerous by the state than one involving hate speech and people armed with weapons. The discussion stirs to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day speech, which Abhinandan views as “pale” and “a bit under confident” in comparison to his earlier speeches. “Even an Independence Day speech is not about the nation, it is about Modi's electoral prospects,” says Tushar, while the panel highlights the significance of Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge's absence from Independence Day celebrations at Red Fort as a mark of protest. Dwelling into the times of the independence movement, Tushar talks about his great grandfather Mahatma Gandhi's relations with noble laureate Rabindranath Tagore. He also sheds light on how Maharashtrians view “Bapu” and the manoeuvres to show Gandhi and Ambedkar as adversaries. Jayshree asks Tushar about the fake news and hate campaigns against Gandhi. Abhinandan delves into how Indian history has suffered from a chronic ignorance of truth. Meanwhile, on the floods and the consequent devastation in Himachal Pradesh, Raman highlights the inadequacies of Modi's Har Ghar Nal campaign, and the purported absence of scientific approach in the infrastructure projects in the sensitive Himalayan region.

Due To Fear of Modi Congress Boycotts Independence Day at Red Fort: मोदी का डर या देश के प्रति घृणा?

Listen to the latest SBS Hindi news from India. 16/08/2023

The heavy rains that hit Delhi last week might well be the result of climate change. But the deluge that followed — the intense flooding in areas of north and east Delhi, including the Red Fort and Ring Road — was intensified by administrative negligence & apathy. In Ep 1273 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta talks about the Yamuna, its course from the Himalayas to Delhi, and why the flooding was not nature's wrath alone.  @CoorgWildernessResort 

The phrase, "There's a sucker born every minute," is attributed to P.T. Barnum, but it could be about this episode: We're talking about con artists who swindled people into buying some really famous landmarks. George C. Parker sold the Brooklyn Bridge. Among Victor Lustig's most audacious scams was when he sold the Eiffel Tower. And a man known as Natwarlal made a name for himself selling the Taj Mahal among other famous landmarks in India. Let's look at what happened when each of these guys dipped a toe into real estate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Punjab ci vivono più di 30 milioni di persone e da secoli è considerato una delle zone più fertili di tutta l'Asia Meridionale.

E così negli anni, diverse persone hanno tentato di fornire una soluzione tra richieste di autonomia, di indipendenza e soprattutto di una vita migliore.

Prabhas के रावण जलाने पर Bollywood Actors नाराज़ | Prabhas To Burn Ravana At Red Fort | Prabhas

By linking Nari Shakti to national progress, roots to scaling heights, PM Modi enlivens the idea of aspiration. In his Independence Day speech from Red Fort, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a long and large view. This was not a speech about schemes, programmes or plans. This I-Day, instead, the prime ministerial viewfinder framed a country that has turned 75 and is moving towards its centenary.

75 years ago, Jawaharlal Nehru had addressed the nation from here as he laid the foundation of a new nation. And this Monday, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the country from the ramparts of the Red Fort, he laid the foundation of the next 25 years. The sky was overcast with a slight nip in the air. Wearing a tricolour turban, PM Modi asked people to focus on 'Panchpran', or five promises. First, to move forward with bigger resolves and the resolve of a developed India. Second, to erase all traces of servitude. Third, to be proud of India's legacy. Fourth, to focus on India's unity, which is its strength. And fifth, to fulfil the duties of citizens with honesty.   But what is the ground situation like? A comparison with the developed countries shows that the government has a long road ahead if it wants to turn India into a developed economy within the next 25 years. In 2021, India's per capita income, calculated in international dollars based on purchasing power parity, at 7,333.5 dollars was less than half of China's in 2021. It was a seventh of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries' per capita income of 48,482.1 dollars. OECD is a group of developed economies. While India's per capita income grew at double the rate of OECD nations in the last 25 years, it would need to grow at 12.4 percent consistently to catch up to OECD countries within the next 25 years. It will have to grow at 8.2 per cent just to reach the level at which they are today.   India will need to take similar leaps to catch up when it comes to social indicators too. The infant mortality rate-- the number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births -- reduced from 76 in 1996 to 27 in 2020, but it was still over four times the OECD average of six. At the current pace, India will only be able to achieve an infant mortality rate of 10. Similarly, life expectancy at birth would have to increase faster than it did in the last 25 years to reach OECD levels. At the current pace, it would fall short of OECD economies. India added nine years to life expectancy for both males and females between 1995 and 2020. Prime Minister Modi also listed equality, specifically equality for women, as one of the five pledges citizens must take. It is a pledge that will challenge the nation on many fronts. One of the bleakest spots is the Female Labour Force Participation Ratio. It has dropped sharply and steadily in the last decade and a half, from 32 per cent in 2005 to just 19.2 per cent in 2021, although the latest data is a small recovery from 18.6 per cent – the lowest in 32 years -- in the first pandemic year of 2020. However, it is not all gloom. In the recently concluded Commonwealth Games, 40 per cent of India's medallists were women, though that is lower than the 46.4 per cent in the 2002 Games. The new clarion call given by the Prime Minister will call for all levels of government, both Centre and state, and all sections of the citizenry, irrespective of caste, creed or religion, to work hand in hand. While policies and their effective implementation will be the primary levers to achieve this goal, ensuring unity, and thus, a unified purpose, should be the first step towards 'Mission 2047'.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged citizens to focus on five resolutions to make India a developed nation in the next 25 years. It was the key highlight of the PM's speech which he gave from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the 76th Independence Day on Monday. So, how will the country and its economy have to perform to achieve this ambitious goal by 2047?  He had a penchant for risk-taking, and carried an air of optimism around him. He was a living embodiment of calmness in a volatile market. Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the nation in paying tribute to ace investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala-- who died at the age of 62 on Sunday. We have a glimpse of the ace investor's journey.   A widely-shared video of Jhunjhunwala says a lot about his indomitable spirit. Bound to a wheelchair and suffering from a serious ailment, Jhunjhunwala couldn't stop himself when someone tuned in famous Bollywood item number Kajrare. He almost leapt out of the chair while dancing. His sudden death has left the entire investor community in a state of shock. Let us now move on to India Inc's struggle with inflation. Companies hiked prices to cushion their margin. But it hit the volumes, especially in the rural markets. With the commodity prices cooling off, will the upcoming quarters be better for India Inc.? Or will global growth risks keep the ride bumpy?  The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently disallowed the use of Letters of Comfort (LoC), which may impact loans worth Rs 35,000 crore. So what is this letter of comfort? Find out in our next episode of the podcast.   

Do you want to take a virtual tour of Delhi's Red Fort, almost as if you were actually strolling among its palaces, pavilions and mosques? You can do just that thanks to Google Street View. Such a tour is made possible because Street View is a virtual representation of your surroundings on Google Maps, made up of millions of panoramic images. Google Street View provides the viewer with interactive panoramas from different positions along streets across many parts of the world. Basically, you get a 360-degree view of streets, tourist spots, and landmarks. Launched in 2007 in a number of cities in the United States, it has since expanded worldwide, including even rural areas. If Street View imagery is available for a certain street, then it is shown as a blue line on Google Maps. The interactive panoramas are made up of VR photographs that have been stitched together. While most of the photography is done by car, everything from camels, boats, and snowmobiles to good old foot-power has also been used. So, how did Google manage to finally bring back this feature to India? Street View is coming to India after changes in the country's geospatial guidelines. In February 2022, the Department of Science and Technology had released guidelines for geospatial data.  The policy restricts foreign firms to an accuracy of 1 metre. It also mandates that such companies will have to use application programming interfaces from authorised domestic licensees. As a result, the collection and ownership of data will remain with local entities. However, under the new guidelines, Google is allowed to collect and use geospatial imagery in India through partnerships with local firms. The policy even identifies excluded areas like government and military locations, thus resolving security concerns.  So, this time, Google has launched Street View in India in collaboration with Tech Mahindra and Genesys International, a mapping and geospatial company. This is the first time that the service will be handled completely by local partners. Street View will be available in India with imagery licensed from the local partners. To begin with, the service will cover over 150,000 kilometres across ten cities. And, the plan is to expand the service to more than 50 cities by the end of 2022.

Introduction: Time: 0.10 - 2.23 सुन रहे होंगे आज कल Gyanvapi Masjid का पूरा मुद्दा। हमने भी कुछ दिनों पहले पूरा मुद्दा आपको समझाया था कि याचिका क्या है, कौन हैं याचिकाकर्ता। आज Gyanvapi पर वाराणसी कोर्ट का फैसला आना था। मगर कुछ कारणवश फैसला टल गया। कारण ये था कि Varanasi Court से भी ऊपर जो कोर्ट है यानी कि Supreme Court, वो पहले से ही मस्जिद समिति की एक याचिका सुन रही है जिसमें उन्होंने मस्जिद के अंदर survey और video-photo लेने की खिलाफत की है। तो Supreme Court का कहना है कि अभी Varanasi Court फैसला न दे क्योंकि वो खुद मस्जिद समिति का केस सुन रहे हैं। चलिए कोई बात नहीं। किसी और पर बना लेंगे एपिसोड। भारत में कमी थोड़ी है तो ज्ञानवापी के साथ-साथ Qutub Minar और Taj Mahal पर भी ऐसी ही राजनीति चल रही है - कि ये हिन्दू देवी-देवताओं की मूर्तियों और जन्म स्थल के ऊपर बने हुए हैं। जो Taj Mahal दुनिया में भारत की शान माना जाता रहा है, 7 अजूबों में से एक है और जहाँ पर हर बड़े नेता और राजनयिक को स्वयं सरकार Taj का दर्शन कराने ले जाती है, उसी सरकार के नेताओं को लगता है कि Taj असल में Taj है ही नहीं। वो तो Tejo Mahalaya है। शिव जी का तेजो -महालय - जहाँ पर उनकी पूजा-अर्चना करने का हक़ हिंदुस्तान के बहुसंख्यक हिन्दुओं को देना चाहिए। कई हिन्दू संगठनों का ये मानना है कि Taj Mahal असल में Tejo Mahalaya था जो 4थी सदी के हिन्दू राजा ने बनवाया था। आईये थोड़ी चर्चा इस मुद्दे पर करते हैं। क्या पता अगले हफ्ते अदालत को इस पर भी committee बैठानी पड़ जाये।   Body: Time: 2.25 - नमस्कार आदद सत्श्रीअकाल, मैं हूँ Sahiba Khan और आप सुन रहे हैं आपका favourite podcast For Your Information, only on ABP Live Podcasts. सीधे मुद्दे पर आते हैं। ये जो आज कल रोज़ मस्जिद खोदनी की मुहीम चल रही है उसी में से एक है Taj Mahal का विवाद। विवाद ये है कि 12 मई को Allahabad High Court ने BJP नेता Rajneesh Singh की एक याचिका ख़ारिज कर दी जिसमें अदालत से अपील की गई थी कि वो Taj Mahal पर एक fact-finding committee बैठाएं और पता लगाएं कि कहीं Taj सही में तो तेजो महालय नहीं था, कि Taj का असली इतिहास क्या है, कि क्या है Taj Mahal के उन 20 दरवाज़ों के पीछे, कहीं हिन्दू देवी-देवताओं की मूर्तियां और शास्त्र तो नहीं दबा दिए Taj महल के नीचे....?  हाल ही में BJP सांसद और जयपुर के राजसी परिवार से ताल्लुक रखने वाली Diya Kumari ने कहा कि जिस ज़मीन पर Taj Mahal बना है वो जयपुर से उनके पुरखों की ज़मीन है और अगर दस्तावेज़ देखने हों तो वो उन्हें दिखा सकती हैं।  यही नहीं, कई सालों से BJP नेता ये दावा करते आ रहे हैं कि Taj Mahal एक हिन्दू मंदिर है जो Shah Jahan के समय से भी काफी पहले से था। 2017 में, विनय कटियार, जो उस समय भाजपा के राज्यसभा सदस्य थे, उन्होंने दावा किया था कि Taj असल में "तेजो महालय" नाम का शिव मंदिर था, जिसे "मूल रूप से" एक हिंदू शासक ने बनाया था। मगर मैं आपको बता दूँ कि तेजो महालय का ये दावा अभी का नहीं, दशकों पुराना है। Tejo Mahalaya का ये दावा सबसे पहली बार उन्नीस सौ नवासी (1989) में  P N Oak नाम के लेखक ने अपनी किताब Taj Mahal: The True Story में किया था। PN Oak खुद को revisionist कहते थे। उनके हिसाब से लिखा गया इतिहास गलत था और अब वो उसे सही कर रहे हैं। उन्हें अपने दावों पर इतना यक़ीन था कि उन्होंने Supreme Court में इस पर याचिका भी डाल दी। 2000 में Supreme Court ने इस याचिका पर तंज कसा और कहाँ ‘he had a “bee in his bonnet” यानी कि लगता Oak साहब इस मुद्दे के पीछे पागल हो चुके हैं।    तो क्या है Tejo Mahalaya की थ्योरी?   Institute for Rewriting Indian History के संस्थापक और लेखक PN Oak का मानना ​​था कि जिन स्मारकों के लिए मुस्लिम शासक मशहूर हुए , वो सभी कभी न कभी हिन्दू मंदिर थे। और तो और उनका ऐसा मानना केवल भारत तक सीमित नहीं था। उन्हें ऐसा भी लगता था कि Vatican City, Mecca Medina, Westminster Abbey जैसे बड़े ईसाई और मुसलमानों के तीर्थ स्थल पहले हिन्दुओं के मंदिर थे। उन्हें ऐसा भी लगता था कि Rome में जो ईसाई धर्म के सबसे बड़े धर्म गुरु Pope हैं और उनका जो अधिकार क्षेत्र है, jurisprudence है, वो पहले वैदिक पुरोहितों का एक ग्रुप था। 1976 में, उन्होंने 'Lucknow's Imambaras are Hindu Palaces' नाम की एक किताब लिखी, जिसमें आप समझ ही गए होंगे कि क्या दावे किये गए होंगे। एक किताब लिखी जिसका नाम था  'Delhi's Red Fort is Hindu Lalkot'। 1996 में उन्होंने 'Islamic Havoc in Indian History' नाम की किताब तक लिख डाली।    हालाँकि यह Taj  Mahal वाला विवाद Oak की किताब 'ताज महल: द ट्रू स्टोरी' से वापस सुर्ख़ियों में आया। Oak का कहना था कि Shahjahan का Taj Mahal एक शिव मंदिर था जो चौथी सदी में Paramardi Dev नाम के हिन्दू राजा ने बनवाया था।  Oak के अनुसार, न केवल मुगलों के आने से सदियों पहले ताज को बनाया गया था बल्कि उन्होंने यहाँ तक कह दिया कि "उनके शोध ने ये साफ़ तौर पर साबित कर दिया है कि ताजमहल शब्द प्राचीन हिंदू नाम तेजोमहालय का एक लोकप्रिय मगर गलत उच्चारण है।" उन्होंने कहा कि 12 वीं शताब्दी के अंत में मुहम्मद गोरी के भारत पर आक्रमण के दौरान "तेजो महालय" को नष्ट कर दिया गया और फिर हुमायूं की (16 वीं शताब्दी के मध्य) में युद्ध में हारा के बाद यह जयपुर शाही परिवार के हाथों में चला गया और वही इसकी देख-रेख करते थे। Oak आगे कहते हैं कि मंदिर को तब शाहजहाँ ने अपने कब्जे में ले लिया। इसी की बुनियाद पर Oak ने Supreme Court में याचका भी द्यर की थी मगर उन्हें तब अदालत की फटकार सुननई पड़ी और केस को रद्द कर दिया गया सो अलग।  मगर Oak की ये थ्योरी ज़िंदा रही।  तो इसलिए जब आज जब BJP नेता  Rajneesh Singh Taj Mahal के बंद कमरे खुलवाने की बात कर रहे हैं, तो समझना होगा कि ये थ्योरी, ये मान्यता आ कहाँ से रही है।  Singh ने भी याचिका में Oak के ही शब्द दोहराए।  ऐसी ही एक और याचिका Agra की एक ज़िला अदालत में दायर की गई थी। याचिकाकर्ताओं ने दावा किया था कि Taj Mahal एक हिंदू मंदिर था, और इसलिए सरकार को हिंदुओं को मंदिर में "दर्शन" और "आरती" करने की अनुमति देनी चाहिए। Conclusion: Time: कितनी सच्चाई है इन दावों में, क्या कभी साबित हो पाया ऐसा कुछ? भले ही Oak की ये थ्योरी बे-सर-पैर ही लगे और भले ही इसका कोई ऐतिहासिक आधार नहीं है, मगर कुछ इतिहासकारों ने कहा है कि जिस ज़मीन पर ताज खड़ा है वो असल में जयपुर राजघरानों के control में थी। यमुना किनारे से लेकर के नदी के पार आगरा किले तक, पूरी रियासत Akbar और बाक़ी मुग़लों ने खड़ी की थी और Shahjahan ने राजपूत राजा Jai Singh से इस ज़मीन को लिया था और उन्हें मुनासिब मुआवज़ा भी दिया गया था। अब राजाओं के पास यार और भी बहुत काम थे। वो कहाँ हिन्दू-मुसलमान में लगे रहते। उन्हें अपनी सल्तनत बचानी होती थी, प्रजा का ख्याल रखना होता था, Taj Mahal और लाल किले जैसे स्मारक बनाने होते थे, और आए दिन जंग पर जाना होता था। उनके लिए सांप्रदायिक दिक्कतें दिक्कतें थी ही नहीं। होती तो आज भारत में जितने मंदिर मस्जिद बड़े बड़े राजा बना कर गए हैं, उनमें से कुछ भी न होता। खैर ये तो था हमारा आज का FYI, जहाँ हमने इतिहास के पन्नों को वापस जा कर छाना और आप तक लाये credible news. ये सभी आपको एक google सर्च से भी पता लग जायेगा, बस देखिएगा कि खबर कहाँ से आ रही है। ख़बरों को Whatsapp पर नहीं, सही news channel या news संस्थानों द्वारा सुनें। मैं हूँ Sahiba Khan, लेती हूँ आप से विदा। कल बात करेंगे Gyanvapi और उस पर आये फैसले की, अगर फैसला आ गया तब। Podcast की sound-designing की है Lalit ने और आप सुन रहे थे ABP Live Podcasts की पेशकश FYI.

Introduction: Time: 0.10 - 2.23 सुन रहे होंगे आज कल Gyanvapi Masjid का पूरा मुद्दा। हमने भी कुछ दिनों पहले पूरा मुद्दा आपको समझाया था कि याचिका क्या है, कौन हैं याचिकाकर्ता। आज Gyanvapi पर वाराणसी कोर्ट का फैसला आना था। मगर कुछ कारणवश फैसला टल गया। कारण ये था कि Varanasi Court से भी ऊपर जो कोर्ट है यानी कि Supreme Court, वो पहले से ही मस्जिद समिति की एक याचिका सुन रही है जिसमें उन्होंने मस्जिद के अंदर survey और video-photo लेने की खिलाफत की है। तो Supreme Court का कहना है कि अभी Varanasi Court फैसला न दे क्योंकि वो खुद मस्जिद समिति का केस सुन रहे हैं। चलिए कोई बात नहीं। किसी और पर बना लेंगे एपिसोड। भारत में कमी थोड़ी है तो ज्ञानवापी के साथ-साथ Qutub Minar और Taj Mahal पर भी ऐसी ही राजनीति चल रही है - कि ये हिन्दू देवी-देवताओं की मूर्तियों और जन्म स्थल के ऊपर बने हुए हैं। जो Taj Mahal दुनिया में भारत की शान माना जाता रहा है, 7 अजूबों में से एक है और जहाँ पर हर बड़े नेता और राजनयिक को स्वयं सरकार Taj का दर्शन कराने ले जाती है, उसी सरकार के नेताओं को लगता है कि Taj असल में Taj है ही नहीं। वो तो Tejo Mahalaya है। शिव जी का तेजो -महालय - जहाँ पर उनकी पूजा-अर्चना करने का हक़ हिंदुस्तान के बहुसंख्यक हिन्दुओं को देना चाहिए। कई हिन्दू संगठनों का ये मानना है कि Taj Mahal असल में Tejo Mahalaya था जो 4थी सदी के हिन्दू राजा ने बनवाया था। आईये थोड़ी चर्चा इस मुद्दे पर करते हैं। क्या पता अगले हफ्ते अदालत को इस पर भी committee बैठानी पड़ जाये।   Body: Time: 2.25 - नमस्कार आदद सत्श्रीअकाल, मैं हूँ Sahiba Khan और आप सुन रहे हैं आपका favourite podcast For Your Information, only on ABP Live Podcasts. सीधे मुद्दे पर आते हैं। ये जो आज कल रोज़ मस्जिद खोदनी की मुहीम चल रही है उसी में से एक है Taj Mahal का विवाद। विवाद ये है कि 12 मई को Allahabad High Court ने BJP नेता Rajneesh Singh की एक याचिका ख़ारिज कर दी जिसमें अदालत से अपील की गई थी कि वो Taj Mahal पर एक fact-finding committee बैठाएं और पता लगाएं कि कहीं Taj सही में तो तेजो महालय नहीं था, कि Taj का असली इतिहास क्या है, कि क्या है Taj Mahal के उन 20 दरवाज़ों के पीछे, कहीं हिन्दू देवी-देवताओं की मूर्तियां और शास्त्र तो नहीं दबा दिए Taj महल के नीचे....?  हाल ही में BJP सांसद और जयपुर के राजसी परिवार से ताल्लुक रखने वाली Diya Kumari ने कहा कि जिस ज़मीन पर Taj Mahal बना है वो जयपुर से उनके पुरखों की ज़मीन है और अगर दस्तावेज़ देखने हों तो वो उन्हें दिखा सकती हैं।  यही नहीं, कई सालों से BJP नेता ये दावा करते आ रहे हैं कि Taj Mahal एक हिन्दू मंदिर है जो Shah Jahan के समय से भी काफी पहले से था। 2017 में, विनय कटियार, जो उस समय भाजपा के राज्यसभा सदस्य थे, उन्होंने दावा किया था कि Taj असल में "तेजो महालय" नाम का शिव मंदिर था, जिसे "मूल रूप से" एक हिंदू शासक ने बनाया था। मगर मैं आपको बता दूँ कि तेजो महालय का ये दावा अभी का नहीं, दशकों पुराना है। Tejo Mahalaya का ये दावा सबसे पहली बार उन्नीस सौ नवासी (1989) में  P N Oak नाम के लेखक ने अपनी किताब Taj Mahal: The True Story में किया था। PN Oak खुद को revisionist कहते थे। उनके हिसाब से लिखा गया इतिहास गलत था और अब वो उसे सही कर रहे हैं। उन्हें अपने दावों पर इतना यक़ीन था कि उन्होंने Supreme Court में इस पर याचिका भी डाल दी। 2000 में Supreme Court ने इस याचिका पर तंज कसा और कहाँ ‘he had a “bee in his bonnet” यानी कि लगता Oak साहब इस मुद्दे के पीछे पागल हो चुके हैं।    तो क्या है Tejo Mahalaya की थ्योरी?

PM Modi's Red Fort speech referencing Aurangzeb's tyranny against Guru Tegh Bahadur and Pakistan PM Imran Khan's several references to the betrayal of Siraj ud-Daulah by Mir Jafar might be made in different contexts but have one important similarity. In Episode 987 of Cut The Clutter, Shekhar Gupta explains the deeper political meaning behind both leaders' evocation of the subcontinent's history.    

The most famous and most beautiful tomb in the world was born in the broken heart of Shah Jahan, when his wife Mumtaz Mahal died at 38 giving birth to their 14th child. The riches of the Mughal Empire were poured into this testament to his grief and to his love, as thousands of artisans labored between 1632 and 1643 to construct it, along with multiple other projects, including gardens, palaces and mosques. The expenditure was immense, even by today's standards. The Taj Mahal and these other marble monuments were intended to serve the deceased and the living as well as the future of the Mughal house. Shah Jahan ruled until 1658, when he became seriously ill and was overthrown by his sons, each wishing to succeed him. He spent the last years of his life imprisoned and as disheartened as King Lear. Join Humanities West in person at The Commonwealth Club, or via live stream, to gain a deeper understanding of the Mughal dynasty that created the Taj Mahal and what went into the construction of one of the most visited architectural wonders in the world—which never fails to impress visitors, no matter how high their expectations were. Fortunately, unlike the Egyptian pyramids, we actually know from Mughal records how and why the Taj Mahal was constructed. The story of the Taj Mahal is indelibly intertwined with the story of Shah Jahan, the fifth Mughal Emperor, who ruled a vast empire on the Indian subcontinent from 1628–1658. His many architectural achievements, in addition to the Taj Mahal, were made possible because of his extraordinary wealth. Catherine Asher will focus on the artistic achievement itself: how the Taj Mahal became reality from its inception to its completion, with attention to its remarkable artistic details. She will set this achievement in the context of that time—the previous Mughal artistic developments that had led to the training of so many skilled craftsmen who built not only the Taj Mahal but also the Red Fort and Jama Masjid in Delhi, the Moti Masjid in Agra, and the renovation of Agra Fort (and much more). All this was accomplished during Shah Jahan's reign. Throughout her discussion she will interweave the Mughals' concept of state with architectural construction. Note: Both speakers will be participating remotely.

Punjabi actor Deep Sidhu, 43, an accused in the Red Fort violence case, died in a road accident, President Joe Biden urged Russia to step back from the brink of war, India rejected the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation's criticism of alleged harassment of Muslims in the country & other top news in this bulletin.

Desecration of the Indian Tricolour on the Red Fort happened exactly a year back. Puneet Singh Sahani joins Sanjay Dixit to look back at the disgraceful chapter of our recent history, and analyses the causes, effects and solutions.

Mine damer og herre!! Vi er kommet til vores 20. afsnit og den sidste rejseanekdote, nemlig Indien. Vi tager jer en tur igennem Agra, Ranthambore, Jaipur og Delhi. I kan se frem til os, der plaprer i lidt over en time om alt fra Taj Mahal, tigere, en dværg ko, mad der minder om diarré på en sølvtallerken, en slangevisker der fotobomber os, Lotus Templet, Red Fort, verdens største solur, Amber Fort og ikke mindst ham fyren der kommer og fodre aberne. Og så er der selvfølgelig en enormt svær quiz.

India administered its 1 billionth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on Thursday, 21 October, passing a major milestone for a country where, just a few months ago, the Delta variant of the virus ripped through. The occasion was met with a lot of song and dance, with the Centre launching a new song and an audiovisual film to mark the landmark event. Along with that, the largest national flag, weighing 1,400 kg will be hoisted at the Red Fort. Soon after the country hit the milestone, PM Modi paid a visit to Delhi's Dr Ram Manohar Lohia hospital to interact with health workers and vaccine beneficiaries. And given the hurdles that India faced in the initial days – from vaccine shortages, vaccine distribution problems to states and the deadly second wave that crippled our health care system for nearly three months – hitting one billion doses is no small achievement. But as India celebrates this major milestone, it's also important to remember that millions of people are still waiting to receive the vaccine and according to official figures, we have only fully vaccinated 30 percent of our nearly 1.4 billion population. And this statistic does not include children under 18, who make up nearly 40 percent of the population. Even though 74 percent of the population is vaccinated with one dose, the issue of vaccine hesitancy still exists, with at least 10 percent of the population according to a recent survey not planning on taking the vaccine at all.

The band are celebrating the signing of their record deal. Much toasting and drinking Tommy suggests they play a celebratory gig in the pub – as it was their very first venue. He'll fix it with his Dad. Jokes that fans will look back on it as a landmark gig... Adam and Heather listen to the live broadcast of ‘Laura's Beauty Spot'... Laura's a natural! She describes how to create a relaxing spa in your own home and shares a recipe for homemade body scrub made from sea salt and essential oils... The al fresco dinner is coming to an end and has been a great success. Judy announces the ‘surprise' ie: the ice bucket challenge. Bid to see your partner or friend take the challenge – all proceeds to Huntsford Children's Charity... Laura says thanks for the slot on Radio Huntsford. She loves it – is Chantelle sure she doesn't want to co-present sometimes? It would be fun... I'd rather not, says Chantelle. I'd get too much grief from Alastair. Once again, Harry turns up at closing time. He takes a different approach this time, asking if he can book a date with Carmella for them to have dinner at the Red Fort... He doesn't want to leave it to chance – he knows she has a busy social life... The pair are having another go at a quiet dinner together – in her flat, this time... They joke that this time there's no chance of a fight breaking out...

Earlier, before the British rule, India was known for its gold and rich natural resources. Therefore many foreign countries captured India and ruled over her for years. Every year on August 15th, Indians all over the world celebrate its Independence Day - the day that commemorates the end of 200 years of British rule. On this day in 1947, India was declared a free country after years of struggle and sacrifice by our great freedom fighters.  In 1617, India was ruled by the Mughals, and during that time the British India Company first came to India to fix a trade between Mughal India and England. In 1757, British rule in India began, following by the East India Company's victory at the Battle of Plassey,  gave them control of the country. Indians revolted against the Britishers as they did not want to be their slaves and fought for the freedom of India. Several revolts and fights such as Revolt of 1857, Quit India Movement, The Champaran Satyagraha of 1917, and many more collective efforts led to a  new Independent India. Our first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, delivered a speech on the woke of Independence Day that began as, “At the stroke of midnight, when the world sleeps, India shall awake to life and freedom.” Every year, we commemorate Independence Day by singing the national anthem, flag-raising ceremonies are held across the country, drills are conducted. People make an effort to dress in national or regional attire to honor their country and culture. The prime minister takes part in a flag-raising ceremony and a parade with the personnel of the military forces and police at the Red Fort. Schools and colleges celebrate this day by parade, cultural activities, speech and quiz competitions, and more.   Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradio See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
