Podcasts about Republic Day

Once on the brink of extinction, Varanasi's ancient wooden toy industry has made a spectacular comeback, thanks to the relentless efforts of artisans like Padma Shri awardee Godavari Singh, who passed away earlier this month. His exquisite handcrafted toys not only preserved a centuries-old tradition but also gained national recognition, featuring in the New Delhi tableau during the Republic Day celebrations, where he was honoured for his contributions. In this episode of Padma Pride, we explore how Singh, along with new-age entrepreneurs, steered this centuries-old craft into a flourishing industry. About Padma PridePadma Pride is an inspiring audio series by The Good Sight and Rise Against Hunger India, celebrating Padma Awardees and their extraordinary impact. Every Sunday, webring you the story of a changemaker shaping India's future. (Narration: Shalini Singh, The Good Sight).

When India successfully launched #Chandrayaan - 1 in 2008, the world ‘went back to the moon' says Dr Mylswamy Annadurai, who is often hailed as the ‘moon man of India'. Dr Annadurai was the mission director of not only the moon mission, and later the even spectacular Mars mission of #Bharat, but also during his tenure as the Director of #ISRO Satellite Centre between 2015-18, he oversaw the making, launching and operationalisation of 30 state of the art satellites. In this exclusive conversation with the Sri Sathya Sai Media Centre, he shares about the unique feats achieved by Indian scientists and how these achievements have helped society in several dimensions. He reveals why he consciously chose to be in India and serve his motherland, and also his life's secret mantras that have kept him going to keep the flag of Bharat flying. We are delighted to offer this insightful conversation on the 76th Republic Day of India.

In all my travels, I've never encountered anything quite like it, particularly given its magnitude. Prising open the mighty King Country, Forgotten World Adventures (FWA) offers remarkable excursions, riding the rails of an abandoned railway line, stretching from the northern tip of the Ruapehu District to heartland Taranaki. It's not only an enduring totem to our guts-and-glory pioneering heritage but a more modern-day manifestation of gritty Kiwi ingenuity – and repurposing! Based in Taumarunui, FWA is an incredibly enterprising tourism venture boasting a compelling platter of soft adventure excursions, prising open the legends, heritage and unspoilt scenery of the hinterland. Forgotten World Adventures re-opened 142 kilometres of this decommissioned railway line in 2012, including 24 tunnels and 92 bridges – all built from hand. Founded by Ian Balme, this Waikato farmer dared to dream big, turning a mothballed rusting eyesore into a visionary business. For the past three years, FWA has been owned and operated by Grant Ross and Laura Wackett. They both have a fascinating backstory, principally in international television production, while Grant was also previously a professional rugby player in South Africa and France. Originally from Wellington, Grant is revelling in steering a homegrown enterprise, which was quite the baptism of fire given New Zealand was still wrestling with Covid when he purchased the business. He's very hands-on and highly engaging with guests. It was fascinating to chat to him about the challenges and rewards of the job – like when a massive storm buried the tunnel entrances in a pile of mud! The prohibitive costs of constant track maintenance underpinned KiwiRail's decision to pull the plug on the line's operation in 2010. Taking nearly 32 years to build, the Stratford – Okahukura Line (SOL) finally opened in 1932 and linked up with the main trunk line through Taumarunui to Auckland. Working gangs sawed and blasted their way through the bush-draped hinterland to lay the tracks of this steel artery. It cost 2.5 million pounds to build this line, equating to billions of dollars today – the most expensive rail line in our nation's history. They even built massive timber-trestle viaducts across the likes of the Mangatatoko Ravine, now overgrown in bush, because it would have been too difficult to maintain such a sky-high bridge. The engineering prowess was extraordinary. The line had been commissioned to transport products from the emerging farming, coal and logging industries. At its peak, there were 15 stations in operation on this line – now, concrete platforms serve as sobering memorial slabs to a bygone age. FWA operate six unique guided adventures, whether you're after a half-day excursion, full day or multi-day adventure. If you want to ride the entire 142km-long line to Stratford, that's a two-day affair, but I plumped for the full-day rail car ride to the self-declared Republic of Whangamōmona. You can do it one-way in either direction, with a night's stay in the irrepressible Whangamōmona Hotel. The historic hotel was built in 1912 and the area's proud history is lustily showcased on the pub walls. But full drama ensued in 1989when Whangamōmona threw a strop and declared its independence. It was prompted by local government reforms which carved up the boundaries of the Whangamōmona district, which resulted in half the district ending up in Manawatu-Whanganui, when most folk associate themselves with the Taranaki region. So they declared independence in the pub and continue celebrating Republic Day in January. You can even get your passport stamped at the pub counter. You'll love the ebullient spirit of the hotel and its patrons, with excellent meals and comfortable accommodation. Arriving into the main street, with its heritage shop facades, you'll feel like you've been transported into a Wild West movie set. It's utterly enthralling, and home to one of New Zealand's legendary watering holes. Meeting up with my FWA guide Ray, we set off from Whangamōmona, under bright blue skies, for our full-day ride back to Okahukura. Ray knows this wild region intimately, guiding since 2016 and prior to that delivering rural mail. He was an exceptional host on the rails, informative and effusively passionate about the region's rich heritage. This is certainly no train ride, but a unique self-drive rail journey in converted golf carts, where you're in charge of the pedals. Petrol powered and limited to a top speed of 22km an hour, these souped-up golf carts originate from Arizona, but given the lush and vivid greenness of the surrounding landscape, they certainly don't look out of place. I was half expecting a vast fairway to appear on the horizon. The weirdest initiation is feeling comfortable not steering the wheel, because you're firmly affixed to the rails. No turning required! The mining and milling heyday of the Forgotten World region may have long faded but the wrap-around scenery is deliriously drool-worthy, a blend of the bucolic, wistful, lonely and rustic. Animals vastly outnumber people in these parts, as we tootled by goats, deer, alpacas and happy herds of cows on elevated pastures, while a vast flock of freshly-sheared sheep skipped alongside the line, under the watchful eye of crowd-wrangling sheepdogs. Clattering along the tracks in our carts, curling through valleys and creased hills, we traversed lichen covered bridges spanning rivers, while more lichen streamed down from trees like confetti. We threaded our way through magnificent native forest, particularly around Tangarakau, where kiwi are being re-introduced to the bush. Towering papa cliffs rose up beside the railway line adding to the natural splendour. Reaching out on the eastern horizon, I snatched the occasional view of mighty Mt Ruapehu, piercing the skyline, by Tahora Saddle. The King Country's tightly folded steep-sided hills and starkly contrasting curvaceous hummocks, created by lahars from Taupo and Ruapehu eruptions, make for riveting topography. The Egyptians would be suitably impressed, because of all the pyramidal shapes that sharply point at the sky. The verdant countryside is sprinkled with clutches of ramshackle houses and dilapidated farm buildings, strutting the skyline as reminders of the region's boom times, when primary industries like timber-milling and coal-mining thrived. When in season, you can even pick wild blackberries, blueberries and apples from the railway line. It's sobering to reflect on how dramatically the population has changed in some of these settlements. A delicious buffet lunch awaited us in Tokirima, which FWA staff had prepared in advance of our arrival. We also stopped for scrumptious home-made snacks and a hot cuppa in the sleepy village of Matiere. It's still home to around 40 residents – and a thriving Cossie Club. At its peak, 85 years ago, Matiere had a population of 750, built on saw-milling and farmers breaking in land. This pioneering town once included a dairy factory, three general stores, two butchers, two drapers, a tailor, bank and post office. Information posts along the route, complete with historical photographs, illustrate how bustling many of these lineside communities used to be. But the undeniable highlight of riding these storied rails are the brick-lined tunnels laid by hand and the longest tunnel on the line, spanning 1500 metres. Apparently it comprises 3.5 million bricks and took eight years to build! Boring through these tunnels on our carts was absolutely thrilling. It certainly pays to wrap up warm. They can be bone-chillingly cold. The 1500 metre tunnel, known as the Okahukura Tunnel, is actually New Zealand's seventh longest rail tunnel. Adding to its ethereal theatre, a thick mist draped the middle of the tunnel, before we re-emerged from the darkness into spectacularly sunlit native bush. Rail travel has always exuded romanticism. The supreme sense of scenic intimacy is unmatched by road travel and the novelty of piloting your own passage along the tracks is an undeniable winner with the Kiwi DIY love affair. While in Taumarunui, my head hit the pillow at the Forgotten World Motel. My well-appointed unit was clean, quiet and toasty, the beds are cloud-comfortable and there's free Wi-Fi. The rail excursion season rolls on until May 10, before resuming again on October. Make tracks!

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Chaos to Harmony: How Teamwork Transformed a Field Hospital Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2025-01-23-23-34-01-hi Story Transcript:Hi: ठंडी की सर्द हवाएँ चारों ओर बह रही थीं।En: Cold, chilly winds were blowing all around.Hi: फील्ड अस्पताल का माहौल गहमा-गहमी से भरा था।En: The atmosphere of the field hospital was bustling with activity.Hi: हर कोना, हर दीवार, हर कमरा मरीजों और चिकित्सा उपकरणों से भरा हुआ था।En: Every corner, every wall, and every room was filled with patients and medical equipment.Hi: डॉक्टर, नर्सें, और स्वयंसेवक सभी अपनी-अपनी जिम्मेदारियों में व्यस्त थे।En: Doctors, nurses, and volunteers were all busy with their respective responsibilities.Hi: अमित, एक जोशीला लेकिन थोड़ा असंगठित स्वयंसेवक, फील्ड अस्पताल में लोगों की मदद करने के लिए आया हुआ था।En: Amit, a zealous but somewhat disorganized volunteer, had come to the field hospital to help people.Hi: उसका एक ही सपना था—फील्ड अस्पताल को उपयोगी और सहूलियत भरा बनाना।En: He had only one dream—to make the field hospital useful and convenient.Hi: साथ में थी लीला, जो हमेशा योजनाबद्ध तरीके से काम करती थी।En: With him was Leela, who always worked in a planned manner.Hi: उसकी एक ही ख्वाहिश थी कि वह चिकित्सा सामान को ढूँढ सके बिना किसी अजीबोगरीब बाधा के।En: Her only wish was to find medical supplies without any bizarre obstacles.Hi: फील्ड अस्पताल का दराज भंडारखाना एक छोटा सा लेकिन महत्वपूर्ण स्थान था।En: The drawer storeroom of the field hospital was a small but important place.Hi: चीजों से लबरेज, यह भंडारखाना बार-बार खुलते ही मानो जीवन में आ जाता था।En: Overflowing with things, this storeroom seemed to come alive every time it was opened.Hi: जभी दरवाज़ा खुलता, चीज़ें ढह पड़तीं।En: Whenever the door was opened, items would topple over.Hi: अमित अक्सर जोश में चीज़ों को इधर-उधर करता, जिससे लीला के प्रयासों पर पानी फिर जाता।En: Amit often moved things around in his enthusiasm, undoing Leela's efforts.Hi: एक दिन, अमित ने ठान लिया कि अब और नहीं सहा जाएगा।En: One day, Amit resolved that he wouldn't tolerate it any longer.Hi: "लीला, आज हम इस भंडारखाने को वश में करेंगे," उसने आत्मविश्वास से कहा।En: "Leela, today we will take control of this storeroom," he said with confidence.Hi: लीला ने संकोच में सर हिलाया, "ठीक है, लेकिन पहले एक योजना बनानी होगी।En: Leela nodded hesitantly, "Alright, but first we need to make a plan."Hi: "जब वे दरवाज़ा खोलते हैं, तो एक अनपेक्षित वस्त्रपात होता है।En: When they opened the door, there was an unexpected avalanche.Hi: बक्से, पट्टियाँ, और दवाइयाँ उनके पैरों पर गिर पड़ती हैं।En: Boxes, bandages, and medicines fell at their feet.Hi: तब ही अमित की नजर एक बड़े झुंड पर पड़ाई—वो थे गणतंत्र दिवस के बैनर, जिन्हें दोनों भूल चुके थे।En: Just then, Amit's gaze fell on a large heap—they were Republic Day banners, which both had forgotten about.Hi: वो नज़ारा ही कुछ ऐसा था कि अमित और लीला दोनों की हँसी छूट गई।En: The sight was such that both Amit and Leela burst into laughter.Hi: उन दोनों ने मिलकर अस्पताल के चारों ओर बैनरों को सजाया और एक अनौपचारिक त्योहार मना डाला।En: Together, they decorated the hospital all around with the banners and celebrated an informal festival.Hi: पूरे अस्पताल में एक नया जोश और उल्लास था।En: There was a new energy and enthusiasm throughout the hospital.Hi: अमित ने लीला के अनुशासन की अहमियत जानी, और लीला ने अमित के गंजीलेपन की मस्ती को अपनाया।En: Amit learned the importance of Leela's discipline, and Leela embraced Amit's playful spontaneity.Hi: उन्होंने मिलकर पहले से बेहतर तरीके से भंडारखाने को व्यवस्थित किया।En: Together, they organized the storeroom better than before.Hi: यह छोटा कदम दोनों के लिए एक बड़ा सबक बन गया।En: This small step turned into a big lesson for both.Hi: फील्ड अस्पताल अब न केवल एक चिकित्सा केंद्र था, बल्कि एक अनोखी जगह, जहाँ हँसी और अनुशासन दोनों का स्वागत था।En: The field hospital was now not only a medical center but a unique place where both laughter and discipline were welcome.

Fans hoping for Akshay Kumar's return as the slap-happy, high-octane Rowdy Rathore will have to keep waiting. Despite swirling buzz about a sequel to the 2012 blockbuster, industry insiders confirm there's no movement on the project. While the original cemented its legacy as a mass entertainer, the sequel remains in limbo with no script, production updates, or greenlights in sight. Akshay, meanwhile, is keeping busy with Housefull 5, Welcome to the Jungle, and Sky Force, slated for Republic Day. He's also gearing up for Priyadarshan's horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla. So, Rowdy fans, patience might just be your mantra for now.

This was a very sombre Republic Day, coming in a few days after the inauguration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on January 22, 2024, churning up questions on the secular nature of our country. The inauguration of the Ram Mandir marks a significant chapter in our country's history. The temple's construction replaced the 16th-Century Babri masjid, which was demolished by Hindu mobs in 1992, leading to nationwide riots and the tragic loss of nearly 2,000 lives, after the Supreme court allowed it. This became a national event, even though we have a sizable population of Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, among others.  Suno India's Sneha Richhariya and Menaka Rao took interviews of young persons in their 20s, all of who were born after the Babri Masjid demolition. We attempt to understand what they think about this national event, what it symbolises, and how they understand secularism. See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things for the Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain, extending warm wishes to our listeners on the occasion of India's 75th Republic Day today.It's the 26th of January and and here are the top stories of this week.Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony at the Ayodhya Ram Temple on Monday. The sculpted Ram Lalla idol, crafted by Arun Yogiraj, was unveiled during the ceremony. Over 8,000 invitees attended the event, including prominent celebrities such as actors, sportspersons, industrialists, etc. Ayodhya witnessed a massive influx of devotees, that resulted in a stampede-like situation, a day after the consecration of the temple.Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh's car was allegedly attacked and media persons accompanying the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra “manhandled” by miscreants in Assam's Sonitpur on Sunday. Meanwhile the Assam Police registered an FIR against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders on Tuesday after a scuffle broke out between people taking part in the Yatra and the local cops when the yatra tried to enter Guwahati city that day. This week, the yatra reached West Bengal.In a jolt to the INDIA bloc ahead of Lok Sabha elections, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday announced that the Aam Aadmi Party will not stitch up an alliance with Congress in the state. Mann's declaration came as Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee said the TMC is not in any discussion with the Congress, and that her party would contest by itself in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in the state.President Droupadi Murmu conferred the Bharat Ratna posthumously to two-time Bihar chief minister and socialist icon Karpoori Thakur on Tuesday. Often remembered as the “voice of the oppressed and the downtrodden”, Thakur served as the chief minister of Bihar from December 1970 to June 1971 and from December 1977 to April 1979. Also called ‘jannayak', he is widely considered as the pioneer of OBC and EBC reservations in the country.As President Droupadi Murmu addressed the nation on the eve of the 75th Republic Day on Thursday, she said this year of the Republic is “truly a historic milestone in the journey of the nation in many ways”. Calling the time India is seeing currently as one of an "epochal transformation" with the golden opportunity to soar to new heights, President Droupadi Murmu said the nation is in the early years of Amrit Kaal. Speaking of Republic Day, French President Emmaunel Macron is the chief guest for this year's Republic Day event. He met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday for dinner at Jaipur's Taj Rambagh Palace where they held discussions on bilateral and global issues of concern and interest.This was the Catch-Up on the 3 Things by The Indian Express.

French President Emmanuel Macron, the chief guest for India's 75th Republic Day, arrived in Jaipur Thursday. This is the sixth time a French leader will be the chief guest at the R-Day celebrations, although the latest invitation has a somewhat unconventional backdrop. In Ep 1388 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta analyses Macron's acceptance of India's last-minute invite, how it plays into the larger Delhi-Paris relationship, and what it means in an increasingly tumultuous global order.

In this edition of Global Print, ThePrint's senior consulting editor Jyoti Malhotra explains the significance of French president Emmanuel Macron's visit to India for Republic Day ceremonies, and why he stepped into Joe Biden's shoes Watch #GlobalPrint

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things for the Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.It's the 25th of January and here are the headlines.French President Emmaunel Macron, who is the chief guest for this year's Republic Day event, landed in Jaipur today. He was received by Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma. Macron is scheduled to join Prime Minister Narendra Modi later today in the afternoon for a roadshow, called the Shobha Yatra. During the Shobha Yatra, Macron and Modi will travel from Jantar Mantar to Hawa Mahal from 6 pm onwards, covering a kilometre in the Pink City.The Congress' Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, led by Rahul Gandhi, resumed from Assam and entered Cooch Behar from West Bengal today. The Bengal leg of the Yatra comes in the backdrop of tensions within the INDIA alliance, with Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee saying that her party will contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls independently. The TMC will also abstain from joining the yatra. Banerjee said, “As a gesture of courtesy, did they (Congress) let me know that they are coming to Bengal for the Yatra? I am not aware of it.”Continuing his standoff with the CPI(M)-led state government, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan today cut short his policy address to the Budget Session of the Assembly, wrapping up in less than two minutes. After reading out the first paragraph addressing the Assembly, Khan jumped to the last para of the 61-page-long policy address, before winding up the speech, one of the shortest policy addresses of a governor in the Kerala Assembly marking the beginning of the Budget Session.Jammu and Kashmir scripted history on Wednesday for providing entrepreneurship and self-employment opportunities to a record 94,680 youths in a single day. The sanction letters were distributed at a function presided over by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, just two days before the Republic Day. On the occasion, Sinha congratulated the Jammu Kashmir Bank for its endeavour to strengthen the spirit of Ghar Ghar KCC Abhiyaan and Swarozgar Utsav – two ongoing campaigns aimed at the financial empowerment of farmers and the youth.Days after the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the Ram Lalla idol in Ayodhya, the large crowds of devotees that had thronged the newly inaugurated Ram Mandir in Ayodhya appeared to have thinned out slightly on Thursday morning. By 6 am today, there were two queues — each about a kilometre long — outside the temple premises. However, officials said the numbers would increase over the course of the day as devotees were likely to partake in a ritual called ‘paush purnima', in which devotees take a dip in the Saryu river.This was the Catch-Up on the 3 Things by The Indian Express.

In this Republic Day special, host Dev Goswami and defence expert Shiv Aroor analyse the delayed progress of PM Modi's 'Atmanirbharta' in defence. Why the prolonged wait? What's the stark reality we must confront? Why are we still dependent on Russian equipment even now? Why is self-reliance a painful birthing process?The episode starts with reflections on the Republic Day fanfare, notably the annual parade at Kartavyapath. Amidst the grand spectacle, critics question the hefty costs. Is there a valid place for the R-Day parade in modern India? Shiv disapproves of the display of weaponry, citing the irony of India being a major arms importer while reiterating the urgency for self-reliance in defence equipment.The duo also takes us through the history of India's quest for self-reliance. Why is it not a happy story? Why has India faltered despite having huge needs for military equipment? Was it because of political reluctance to go into having a weapons industry? And why do HAL, DRDO and various other organisations still need more accountability and cohesion?What's the stranglehold of government bodies on defence production? And where do the private companies stand in the midst of this? Finally, what pulls and pressures are required to be fully Atmanirbhar?Well, not everything is gloomy, though. While India remains one of the biggest weapons importers, it has made excellent strides in the last decade. What are those?Tune in to listen!Produced by Anna PriyadarshiniSound Mix by Kapil Dev Singh

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things for the Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.It's the 12th of January and here are the top stories of this week.The Supreme Court, on Monday, struck down the Gujarat government's remission orders that allowed the early release of 11 men convicted in the Bilkis Bano gangrape case of 2002. The bench said the Gujarat government's decision to remit the convicts' sentences was “illegal”. The court ruled that the Gujarat government had no jurisdiction to entertain the remission applications or pass orders granting remission as the trial took place in Maharashtra, making the Maharashtra government the “appropriate” one to decide on the remission.Suchana Seth, the Bengaluru-based CEO of a tech start-up was arrested on Monday night for allegedly killing her four-year-old son in a Goa hotel. She was caught from Karnataka while allegedly trying to flee in a cab with her son's body stuffed in a bag. She and her husband are embroiled in divorce and custody proceedings.
