JAINISM A BRIEF EXPLANATION

Introduction

Jainism originated in India thousands of years ago and is thought to have heavily influenced the two

other main belief systems of the region at that time: Hinduism and Buddhism. The religion

centres on the progress of one’s soul towards a divine consciousness through self-reformation,

wisdom and self-control and pacifism towards all

living creatures. There are two main sects of Jains

today; the Digambara and theSvetambara. There

are thought to be 10 million Jains worldwide, the

majority of them in India and amongst Indian

expatriate communities in North America, Asia

and East Africa.

Origins

Jainism grew in India many thousands of years

ago. As with Hinduism, some Jains believe that

the origins are millions of years ago, although

obviously it is impossible to verify the exact

origins. The more realistic assessment is that the

religion dates back to the second or third millennium BCE, and there are archaeological

remnants found among the Indus Valley civilisations (sites such as Harappa and Mohenjo-

Daro in modern Pakistan) from around 1500 BCE that appear to mention Jain Tirthankaras.

Jains believe that there had been 24 great teachers

known as ‘Tirthan-karas’ (‘those who have discovered and then shown the way to eternal

salvation’) who taught people how to live in

harmony with the universe and ultimately to

achieve spiritual liberation through their own

example. The first of these Tirthankaras was

Rushabha. The 23rd was Parsva who lived from

872-772 BCE according to some sources.

The last of these teachers born in northern India in

599 BCE was Virdhamana, the son of King

Siddhartha. At the age of 30, he went into

seclusion as an ascetic and following twelve years

of intense prayer and contemplation, claimed to

reach enlightenment. It was at that point that he

was given the title Mahavira (great hero). He

spent the rest of his life teaching others how to fulfil the purpose of their existence and to achieve

complete liberation from the shackles of modern life. He is widely accredited with establishing the

present ‘Jain’ belief system. Mahavira passed away in 527 BCE at the age of 72 years leaving

behind 14,000 monks and 36,000 nuns.

The 24 Tirthankaras in order are:

Rushabha, Ajitnath, Sambhavanath, Abhinandan

Swami, Sumatinath, Padmaprabhu,

Suparshvanath, Chandraprabhu, Pushpadanta,

Sheetalnath, Shreyansanath, Vasupujya Swami,

Vimalnath, Anantnath, Dharmanath, Shantinath,

Kunthananth, Aranath, Mallinath, Munisuvrata

Swami, Nami Nath, Neminath, Parshavnath and

Mahavira.

As mentioned earlier, through various interactions

in India, Jainism had an influence on Hinduism

and Buddhism, and they share concepts such as

the seeking of freedom from worldly life and

reincarnation of the soul. Some scholars suggest that Hinduism adopted vegetarianism through

strong Jain influence across India.

Sacred Texts

Jains believe that the knowledge of the true path

(dharma) reaches a zenith and then wanes several

times through the cycle of history, and each time

the knowledge is revived through

a Tirthankara just as other monotheistic faiths believe that prophets were sent by a Creator to

revive faith.

Mahavira is believed to have recorded his teachings in a series of texts known as the

Agamas, although the Jain texts are the major source of controversy between the sects.

The Digambara sect believes that following a vast famine in 350 BCE when many monks died, the

original texts were also lost, whereas

the Svetambara sect (whilst acknowledging that

the Purvas texts were lost) believes that the

majority of the texts survived in the form that we

have today.

The most often cited book of the Jains is

the Tattvartha Sutra (Book of Reality) thought to

date from the second millennium BCE, but only

recorded in written form in the 5th century CE by

Umasvati, and it is at that point that Jainism

splintered into the two main sects.

Beliefs

The Jains have 5 great vows by which they try to

live their lives:

• Non-violence (Ahimsa) towards all living

beings (human, animal or plant life)

including a spectrum of harm from insult

and injury to death;

• Not getting too attached (Aparigraha) to material possessions, people or places;

• Not telling lies (Satya);

• Not stealing (Asteya) or taking things that are not willingly handed over;

• Sexual restraint (Brahmacarya) practised as celibacy by monks and nuns, and

monogamy by normal society. They believe that all human, animal and plant life

has a soul and therefore all of these life forms

must be treated equally and fairly.

Jains believe that the purpose of man and

creatures is to realise the soul’s true nature

through the triple gems of (1) true perception, (2)

true knowledge and (3) true conduct.

Unlike many other faiths, the Jains do not believe

in a creator God or in spiritual beings such as

angels, but do focus on the concept of

reincarnation through which the soul evolves in

life cycles until it reaches enlightenment when the

soul is called jina(victorious). Whereas the major monotheistic faiths also believe in a spiritual

journey, in the case of those faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), their followers seek the

help of the Creator God to achieve spiritual liberation, whereas Jains believe that this journey

is undertaken purely through their own efforts to achieve inner peace.

Moreover, the philosophy is that every soul is the

architect of its own destiny. As a result of these

beliefs, Jains also believe in an infinite Universe

that was never created and will never end, but

goes through major cycles.

The ultimate goal of self-reformation and the

application of the Jain triple gems is to break free

from the cycle of birth and death. In Jainism, a

soul that frees itself (moksha) from

the samsara cycle of life and death is

called siddha (liberated soul) whereas those souls which are still attached to the wordly life are

called samsarin (mundane souls). A liberated soul experiences boundless knowledge, power,

perception and happiness.

As a result of these beliefs, they are vegetarians

and aim to live in a manner which minimises the

use of natural resources so as to limit the impact

upon other life forms. Rigid followers will allow

head lice to survive on their head and not shave

their head or take any medicine. Even bacteria is

not supposed to be killed. Jains believe in soul reincarnation through phases

including hell-being, sub-human (animal, plant and insects), human and super-human, and that

there are an infinite number of souls in the Universe, that like matter, pre-existed creation.

Modern Jains

Modern Jain society has a concept of monks and

nuns similar to Buddhism and Christianity, but

has no priestly class. Monks and nuns live a

celibate and ascetic lifestyle and take on greater

vows and responsibilities than normal society.

Jains are recognised by their symbol which is the

Swastika. Although this symbol was misused by

the Nazis of Germany in the last century, the

original Jain symbol signifies peace and well-

being. The Jain Swastika appears in all temples

and holy books, and during ceremonies, a

swastika is created using rice. Jains do have some idols, but these represent souls

that have conquered their passions rather than deities.

Jains have several days of fasting on which they

abstain from all food but can take water. During the fast, they focus on worship, contemplation and

reading scriptures. Although there are specific fast

days, Jains also perform voluntary fasts at any

time of the year to cleanse themselves.

Their festivals include the following:

• Mahavira Jayanti – a celebration of the

birth of Mahavira

• Paryushana – 8 days of fasting

• Divali – a festival of renewal and lights

also celebrated by Hindus, but significant for Jains as the day that Mahavira achieved

enlightenment

• Kartak Purnima – an annual pilgrimage to

the key Jain sites in India

• Mauna Agyaras – a single day of fasting

• Kshamavaani – a day to seek forgiveness

from everyone else

Jains are renowned for the value that they place on

education, and are recognised in India as the most

literate community. Their libraries are well

respected and complement the zeal for knowledge

to enrich the soul.

EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAMS:

5 WAYS TO WORK FOR COMMUNITY

GROWTH

As the famous expression goes, give a man a fish,

feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him

for a lifetime. Education is one of the most

empowering ways communities in India and around the globe are becoming stronger, more

self-sufficient and branching out to do great things with others. The power behind learning can

transform the way a community works together.

Education happens around the globe every day.

Yet the news seldom covers the positive impacts education outreach programs have on these

communities. This is limiting as it fails to help

other communities learn of opportunities and give

hope to those communities that want to live a

better life.

But what is educational outreach? And how

can you get involved in one of these programs?

Educational outreach programs are a range in the

types of resources they provide and skills they

teach. In general, these programs deliver new

knowledge of how to do perform a certain task, bring new skills into an area where they were

previously not available, and work closely to train

individuals so that this new knowledge can

continue working long into the future, even after

the outreach team is gone. To get involved, here

are a few ways you can reach out to communities

in India, or abroad, and help a them grow.

• Provide public education – Public education

can come in the form of public service

announcements on the television, flyers passed out to residents, hosted events that help teach the

citizens of the community, and just basic conversation with the people that live there.

Typically, a strong educational outreach program will have several of these features helping people

know about upcoming events and teach people all at the same time what they can do to strengthen

their communities.

• Help create alliances among neighbouring

communities – Neighbourhood associations are

powerful tools that help communities come

together and use their individual talents and skills

toward a greater good for the areas around them.

The resources available in one community may

not be the same in another. Likewise, one community may be strong in business relations

while another may be better at making textiles. Working together, these two communities can

create a mutually beneficial alliance and help grow revenues to the region as a whole just by

learning how to work together.

• Teach about how other successful

communities got their start – Modelling past

behaviours are a sure way to achieve success.

Communities that have had success serve as good

examples and teachers to new communities that

may be faced with similar struggles. Educational

outreach programs from model communities can

provide discussions, meetings and plans to help

other communities grow simply based on their

own success.

• Give people resources to be successful –

Within each community, people often have a need for certain resources in order to grow. For

example, having group office centres where people can go to learn through online education

courses or find jobs on the internet is important for their personal growth. When an educational

outreach program is able to set these resources up and teach people how to use them to their

advantage, the communities can benefit by getting

the supplies and access to the information

necessary for them to thrive.

• Take advantage of a network of foreigners –

People overseas that have moved from India, or

any country, may need the services and help of

people in communities. Through educational

outreach programs, teams can be put in touch with

each other to help fulfill a common goal. For

example, by working virtually, people can come

together and create goods in India that can be sold

overseas to a niche target market. This is another way to combine skill sets for a greater good that

will benefit every person involved. Educational outreach programs offer an easy way for the

average person to get involved and create a better place in the world. Where will your next

educational outreach program take you and how will you help make a difference in the lives of

people in your community?

HARD WORK AND TALENT

AT SECOND STANDING:

DID RESERVATION WIN?

Like all other students, after passing class 12th,

we gave all the entrance exams we could. Since

me and my friends had maths as one of the major

subjects, the most awaited results were of our state

engineering entrance test and AIEEE. Result of

AIEEE was declared and nearly everyone got

what they deserved, except for two students. One secured around 20000 rank and was sure that he

won’t be getting any colleges of his choice and the others rank was in lakhs and obviously nobody

bothered to know where he would be getting. But something ulterior happened after the counseling.

The latter got into an NIT!

Well, I think most of you have guessed what could have been the possible reason behind this.

He got this seat under ST criteria. But the story

doesn’t end here. The former had to take

admission in a private college and all he could

think of was that despite of all the hard work he

had put in, he still wasn’t able to get into a decent

college. He remained dejected for a long time and

slowly developed a kind of dislike for the

“reserved people” which wasn’t ephemeral

but continuous.

This isn’t just the story of those two boys. Thousands of students in India go through this

every year. Reservation is not balancing our society, rather it is creating a dislike among the

people and most importantly, among the youngsters.

I call it a dislike because this hasn’t yet turned

into hatred which I fear will be witnessed in the coming years. Reservation was necessary when

the people of lower class were suppressed by the

people of upper class. Or it is justifiable for the

people who are below poverty line. But

reservation for people who don’t need it is

creating a much intricate problem.

Recently an attempt by a student to get into the

college of his choice in DU by procuring false SC

certificate in spite of having 90 above percentile

in board exams has acted as a whistle blower for

our government about the deleterious situation

which has resulted due to the increasing

percentage of reservation day by day .

The vote bank politics of this country has reached its nadir. Now reservation in government jobs for

getting promotion would only promote more hostile feelings among the workers and would

discourage work enthusiasm.

In my opinion reservation should be removed

from the existing education system completely,

because the point of reservation was to give

justice and rights to the oppressed people of this

country. But now it has become a contradiction to

the very existence of this system itself. A rift is

occurring in the minds of the young generation

who don’t get reservation. Moreover, we are

compromising with our nation’s growth. We

cannot have a scientist, doctor, an engineer or

anyone who is not worthy of being where they

are, irrespective of their cast.

In this article I have been forced to use words like

“upper caste”, “lower caste”, or

phrase like “people with

reservation” which I don’t

think are of much

importance and

should not be

present in anyone’s vocabulary. But this subject

makes people relive the past use words like this.

The point of reservation should be to remove that

FEELING from people’s heart that they are of

upper caste or they are of lower caste. Even if

reservation should be there then it must be given

to those who desperately need it, like people

living below poverty line, for this will justify the

true meaning of reservation.

And even if some think, that I am wrong then I

would merely like to ask a question to them: What

possibly could be the future of a country where

hard work and talent are given second standing?

UTILITY ROPE NECKLACE A couple summers ago, we stocked up on brass

washers to make friendship necklaces. A year later, hex nuts became short in supply thanks to

the hex nut bracelet. Today we’re all about compression sleeves, which are

conventionally used in plumbing but also make for the perfect component for these statement

necklaces. Striking, colorful, and fun, this tutorial

won’t be able to keep you too far away from your

local hardware store!

You’ll need:

• 25 feet of 3mm utility rope

• 12 – 14 pieces of 3/8″ brass compression sleeves

• 3-5 yards of 0.8-1mm chinese knotting cord

• 2 12mm x 16mm cord end caps

• 2-3 jump rings

• 1 lobster clasp • gel super glue

• scissors • pliers

Start by cutting the utility rope into 8 32 inch

pieces. Gather them together and slide the

compression sleeves on, one at a time.

Keeping the compression sleeves together keep

the ropes evenly bound and make sliding them on

easier. After 12-14 sleeves are on the ropes,

spread them out accordingly.

Decide which sections to wrap and start at the center of the necklace. Run the end of the knotting

cord upwards along one section and towards the

edge of a brass sleeve. Then wrap around the

ropes, working downwards in the opposite

direction. This helps secures the cord.

Continue to wrap the entire section. Before

reaching the end of the section, place a bead of glue along the starter cord and finish wrapping.

Allow to dry before trimming any excess cord.

Continue wrapping different sections of the

necklace.

When all the sections have been wrapped, trim

end ends. Squeeze a generous amount of glue into the cap and insert the end of the necklace into it. It

may require some rotating to get the end of the

necklace into the cap. Repeat the step on the other

end.

Using pliers, attach a larger jump ring to one end

and a clasp to the other.

And that’s it, your necklace is finished!

Make a couple more and layer them on top of

each other. And most importantly, have fun! PS If

you’re in San Francisco on July 26th, come DIY

with me to celebrate Madewell‘s one year

anniversary!!

week. The mid night Christmas mass draws huge

crowds which includes Goan, people from India, as well as many foreign tourists. After the mass

there are cultural events and social gatherings with each person wishing every person they meet a

"Merry Christmas"

The Crib should be a cherished part of the Christmas celebration in every family. It is not

only completely religious in significance but also

presents to the children in a beautiful way the

central event which we commemorate on this

great feast. Thus it assumes the character of a

MOBILE MARKET IN INDIA

Blackberry is dead! Not enough Apps! Actually, part of the reasons for their demise is because

changing enterprise and carrier trends caught up with RIM’s previous decisions, so let’s begin by

delving into RIMs history

History & Strategic Shift RIM focused on enterprise early, originally a 2-

way paging device, they created push email and

transformed into a smartphone company in 2003

by focusing on push e-mail. This was their first

critical decision, they moved from reseller

channels and completely relied on carriers to sell

and distribute their phones.

Early Advantages

RIM positioned its BlackBerry as a

carrier‐friendly platform via its data efficiency.

Most of the world had low bandwidth data connectivity and blackberry was dominant with

their compression algorithms.

With its smaller bandwidth footprint, it costs enterprises less when there is no all you can eat

data plan and carriers save money because they do

not need to spend as much money to increase the

capacity of their network capacity for this service

Then they introduced Blackberry Messenger

(BBM) in 2006 an excellent solution for

enterprise, it allowed secure messaging for

enterprise customers reducing their costs which

increased incentive for data packages to be

purchased from the carriers. Security and email

became synonymous with Blackberry.

Chasing the golden egg

RIM started to chase the consumer market and relied heavily on BBM to attract the youth market.

The attraction for this market was reduced SMS costs. RIM got caught up in the consumer

smartphone battle losing market share.

What happened? By spreading themselves out, they lost focus on

how the smartphone world changed causing

delays in execution.

� Enterprise is shifting away from owning

the mobile device for its employees and

allowing employees to us their own phones.

� BBM as a youth market cannibalizes carrier SMS revenues reducing the

incentive for carriers to push blackberries. After Android came along, Verizon didn’t

push Blackberries with the same vigor. � Apps such as WhatsApp, Line, Talkbox

etc. give the youth a ‘newer’ phone with

an equivalent low cost messaging system

so they can shift away from BBM.

Moreover, it’s not locked down to only

one manufacturer which means they can

‘free message’ friends using different

devices.

What’s next? The new CEO has stated they will have a

consumer focus, particularly at the entry point

where people upgrade from feature phones to

smartphones. This will be incredibly tough for Blackberry who have to garner more support for

the consumer app ecosystem. Smaller development houses do not have the resources to

support multiple platforms and they will be selective over which platform to develop for first.

Blackberry is not the first on the list. Part of reasoning for their focus on consumer is

because they rely heavily on carriers to sell their

devices and the carrier battlefield is currently

focused on the consumer rather than the enterprise

market. What might exaceberate the problem is

that they plough their resources into consumers

and end up losing the enterprise customer.

Coming Up Cloud, multiple devices and security.

These are areas that are becoming increasingly

important. For enterprise, the deployment of

private cloud solutions, online collaboration and

working on the go. For security, the increase in cyber attacks and ‘cyber espionage’ is on the

increase, and for the prosumer, carrying multiple devices is a pain. 3 distinct areas that need

addressing which RIM can approach.

Here’s what they could try -

� Expand the scope of their cloud services

beyond messaging, email and IT

administration. Consider CRM, or 3rd

party developer solutions that can wrap

around their cloud architecture

� Wrap up corporate collaborative

productivity tools within their ‘secure

cloud’. They already have a great

reputation for security.

� Split the blackberry so that it’s both a

personal and enterprise tool. If a phone

gets stolen, there is extra security for the

‘enterprise’ half of the phone. The

prosumer can then install apps etc. onto the ‘consumer’ half of the phone. Many

people don’t want to mix their professional contacts with personal friends.

� Separate billing for different profiles on one device. An extra value service which

carriers can benefit from which provides effective cost management for IT

departments, and still allows the phone to be used as a personal device.

This tries to address a relevant market for RIM

with their blackberry products and targets both the

enterprise, prosumer markets with incentives for

carriers to continue to push the device. If more

data solutions go via blackberries cloud, it

provides more incentive for carriers because of

RIM’s data efficiency. Even recently, carriers

such as Docomo are looking for data efficient

solutions

More and more people are opting for Android or

iOs as compared to Windows Mobile or Blackberry the simple reason being availability of

Applications & Games in each operating system. As compared to Blackberry and Windows Mobile;

iOS and Android have much more applications ad

games which attracts the tech lovers to buy

handsets that support these applications and

games

Beside the look and feel factor of each operating

system is also very crutial. While Android and

iOS have very smooth interface Blackberry and

Windows mobile are not so user friendly which

keeps the user confused and handicap of features

rich phones

Despite of All the features and functions in a

mobile phone Nokia still rules pre-dominantly in

India with the basic reason of a brand attachment

for lower middle class income group and firs time

mobile users. Also for people who want a better

battery life and a sturdy handset people prefer

using a Nokia phone as compared to other Tech

Savy smart phones

THE CONCEPT OF PAISA

BACHAO:WHY ARE INDIANS

SHY OF INVESTING?

If you had 1000 potatoes in a year, while you

needed only 800 to survive, what would you do

with the remaining 200? Different types of people

would respond to this in different ways. There are those who would save the 200 potatoes for a rainy

day. “What if the next year’s harvest is not all that

good?”, they would say.

Let us call these the Cat A people.

Then there are those who would plant the 200 potatoes, so that they could have even more

potatoes the next year, assuming all goes well and

the harvest is good for the planted potatoes.

Let us call these the Cat B people.

Some people would however not be satisfied with

this. They would borrow 200 more potatoes, while

agreeing to give back 250 potatoes in the next

year, so that they could plant 400 potatoes, with

the expectation of an even bigger harvest the next

year.

Let us call these the Cat C people.

Which category do you find yourself falling in? If you find yourself leaning towards Cat A, don’t be

surprised. You are not alone. A vast majority of Indians fall in this category. We brace ourselves

for the worst: “What if it does not rain the next

year and there are not enough potatoes for

survival? What if we plant the surplus and it gets

infested by pests?”, we ask. And so, we find

greater comfort in saving our surpluses rather than

risking losing them for the possibility of greater

returns.

Numerous studies and surveys have time and

again shown the average Indian’s propensity

towards saving so as to minimize financial risk.

Provident fund accounts and fixed deposits still

count for the vast majority of Indians’ surplus

funds. “Indians Save, Americans Invest” they say,

and quite rightly so. What is the reason behind this incessant Indian desire to save?

One possible explanation could be that we have

been brought up this way. Most Indians would feel more than a tinge of guilt if they were to

spend their surplus finances. Leave alone spending, even investing hard-earned savings into

equity instruments would be tantamount to greed,

wouldn’t it? Isn’t that what brought about a

recession in the United States?

The fact that such stock explanations and

fundamentally flawed analyses work in India

indicates a severe lack of financial skills among

the people at large. Most Indians are just

following traditions and money-management

practices that their ancestors did, without thinking

for themselves as to why they are doing so.

Conventional wisdom passed down through ages

extols the virtues of saving and the lack of financial education among Indians at large

combines with this to make Indians risk-averse savers.

This is not to say that investing is superior to

saving. Investing is attractive because it can be a

means of wealth-creation, but then again, wealth-

creation is not everyone’s primary goal in life and

saving their surplus works out well for many

people. However, if more Indians were financially

well-educated, there would definitely have been a

larger proportion of the Indian population taking well-calculated long-term risks with their money

than there are today.

A monthly budget planner is one of the best

ways to stay on track. When you use a planner,

you can map out exactly what needs to be paid

every month and plan for those payments based

on the estimated income coming in throughout the

month. By doing this, you prevent overspending

and late payments.

Step 1: Find a Planner to Fit Your Needs When you're first looking for a monthly budget

planner, you'll see there are many to choose from.

Aside from a pretty cover, you need to make sure

the contents fit your needs. For the best budgeting

capabilities, look for a planner with clearly

marked sections, pockets and a place to write

contact information for your utilities and other

regularly occurring bills. If you don't want a

physical planner, you can create yours on the

computer and use as a spreadsheet.

Step 2: Essential Elements Regardless of the type of planner you decide to

use, there are essential elements you need to be successful in using a monthly budget planner. You

need a place to write all monthly bills as they come in.

The information that needs to be recorded is: � Billing Company & Full Contact Info

� Amount of Bill � Date Bill was Issued

� Due Date

If you have additional notes to make, leave a spot

for that too.

Step 3: Stay Diligent In order for your monthly budget planner to work,

you need to be diligent on entering bills into the

planner as soon as you receive them and records

payments when you make them. Stick the receipts

so you can double check everything at the end of the month. Check against your planner records

and against your bank records to make sure everything matches up.

Step 4: Enter Everything

Remember, bills and household utilities are not the only thing your monthly budget goes to. You

also need to records and budget things like:

� Groceries

� Household Expenses (e.g. diapers)

� Gas

� Birthdays

� Other Incidentals

If have coffee every morning on the way to work,

put it in the budget. This will make sure you don't

go over your monthly budget.

Step 5: Look for Ways to Cut Back When you start keeping track of exactly what

you're spending every month, you'll start to see

where you can trim some fat. Whether you need to

save to get by, tuck money into savings or plan for

that family vacation, knowing where your money

is going is a good start. Instead of buying coffee

on the way to work, invest in a grinder and for

about the price of one coffee shop stop, you can

have great coffee for a week.

When you use a monthly budget planner, you'll

feel more in control of your finances. You'll be

able to manage bills better and pay them on time.

You'll be able to budget other expenses smart and see where you can cut back. If your kids are old

enough, get them involved in the process to start learning about money and the importance of

budgeting.

LOVED CM OF GUJARAT:

NARENDRA MODI

Born in September, 1950

at Vadnagar, a small

town in Mehsana district

of North Gujarat, Shri

Narendra Modi grew up

in a culture that instilled

in him the values of

generosity, benevolence

and social service.

During the Indo-Pak war

in the mid sixties, even as

a young boy, he volunteered to serve the soldiers

in transit at railway stations. In 1967, he served

the flood affected people of Gujarat. Endowed

with excellent organizational capability and a rich

insight into human psychology, he was elected as

the student leader of Akhil BhartiyaVidhyarthi

Parishad (All India Students’ Council) and played

a prominent role in various socio-political

movements in Gujarat.

Right from his boyhood days he was confronted

with many odds and obstacles, but he transformed

challenges into opportunities by sheer strength of

character and courage. Particularly when he joined

college and University for higher education, his

path was beset with hard struggle and painful toil.

But in the battle of life he has been always a

fighter, a true soldier. Having put his step forward

he never looked back. He refused to drop out or be

defeated. It was this commitment which enabled

him to complete his post graduation in political

science. He started with the Rashtriya

Swayamsevak Sangh

(RSS), a socio-cultural

organization with a

focus on social and

cultural development

of India and imbibed

the spirit of

selflessness, social

responsibility,

dedication and

nationalism.

During his tenure with the RSS, Shri Narendra

Modi played several important roles on various

occasions including the 1974 Navnirman anti-

corruption agitation and the harrowing 19-month

(June 1975 to January 1977) long ‘emergency’

when the fundamental rights of Indian citizens

were strangled. Modi kept the spirit of democracy

alive by going underground for the entire period

and fighting a spirited battle against the fascist

ways of the then central government.

He entered mainstream politics in 1987 by joining

the BJP. Just within a year, he was elevated to the

level of General Secretary

of the Gujarat unit. By that

time he had already

acquired a reputation for

being a highly efficient

organizer. He took up the

challenging task of

energizing the party cadres

in right earnest. The party

started gaining political mileage and formed a

coalition government at the centre in April 1990.

This partnership fell apart within a few months,

but the BJP came to power with a two-thirds

majority on its own in Gujarat in 1995. Since then,

the BJP has been governing Gujarat.

Between 1988 and 1995, Shri Narendra Modi was

recognized as a master strategist who had

successfully gained the necessary groundwork for

making the Gujarat BJP the ruling party of the

state. During this period, Shri Modi was entrusted

with the responsibility of organizing two crucial

national events, the Somnath to Ayodhya Rath

Yatra (a very long march) of Shri L.K. Advani

and a similar march from Kanyakumari (the

southernmost part of India) to Kashmir in the

North. The ascent of the BJP to power at New

Delhi in 1998 has been attributed to these two

highly successful events, substantially handled by

Shri Modi.

In 1995, he was appointed the National Secretary

of the party and given the charge of five major

states in India – a rare distinction for a young

leader. In 1998, he was promoted as the General

Secretary (Organization), a post he held until

October 2001, when he was chosen to be the

Chief Minister of Gujarat, one of the most

prosperous and progressive states of India.

During his stint at the national level, Shri

Narendra Modi was given the responsibility to

oversee the affairs of several state level units,

including the sensitive and crucial state of Jammu

and Kashmir and the equally sensitive north-

eastern states. He was responsible for revamping

the party organization in several states. While

working at the national level, Shri Narendra Modi

emerged as an important spokesman for the party

and played a key role on several important

occasions.

During this period, he travelled extensively across

the world and interacted with eminent leaders of

several countries. These experiences not only

helped him develop a global perspective but also

intensified his passion to serve India and lead it

towards the socio-economic supremacy in the

comity of nations.

In October 2001, he was called upon by the party

to lead the Government in Gujarat. When Shri

Modi ‘s government was sworn in on October 7,

2001, the economy of Gujarat was reeling under

the adverse effects of several natural calamities,

including a massive earthquake in January 2001.

However Shri Narendra Modi, a master strategist,

who was enriched by national and international

exposure and experience, decided to take the bull

by its horns.

The biggest challenge which he had to face, when

he took over as the Chief Minster, was the

reconstruction and rehabilitation of the areas

affected by the massive earthquake of January

2001. Bhuj was a city of rubble and thousands of

people were living in temporary shelters without

any basic infrastructure. Today Bhuj is proof of

how Shri Narendra Modi has turned adversity into

an opportunity for holistic development.

Even when the reconstruction and rehabilitation

was going on, Shri Narendra Modi did not lose

sight of the bigger picture. Gujarat had always

focused on industrial growth. Shri Narendra Modi

decided to correct the imbalance by focusing

appropriately on social sectors for an integrated

socio-economic growth. He conceived the

Panchamrit Yojana – a five-pronged strategy for

an integrated development of the state.

Under his leadership,

Gujarat is witnessing

massive transformation in

several sectors including

education, agriculture,

healthcare and several

others. He developed a

clear vision of his own for the future of the state,

launched policy-driven reform programmes,

reoriented government’s administrative structure

and successfully put Gujarat on the road to

prosperity. His intentions and capacity were

noticed within the first 100 days of his coming to

power. Little wonder that these skills coupled with

his administrative acumen, clear vision and

integrity of character translated into a landslide

victory in the December 2002 general elections

and the Modi government was voted back to

power with a massive majority of 128 seats in a

house of 182.

This victory was even more impressive than what

is suggested by the figures because of the fact that

the opposition Congress party had concentrated its

nationwide resources on the Gujarat elections.

Skilfully wading his way through the onslaught of

a massive slander campaign unleashed by the

opposition, Shri Narendra Modi gave a crushing

defeat to the principal opposition party, the

magnitude of which stunned friends & foes alike.

On December 22, 2002, when he was sworn-in as

the chief minister of Gujarat for the second time,

the ceremony had to be held in an open-air

stadium because of the sheer number of people

who wanted to watch and hear the leader they had

so overwhelmingly elected.

People’s expectations have been more than

fulfilled. Today Gujarat is leading the nation in a

variety of sectors be it e-Governance, investments,

poverty eradication, power, SEZs, road

development, fiscal discipline and many more.

The heart of the matter is the people’s articipation.

Fighting against all odds, he ensured that the

Narmada dam reached 121.9m. Height – He even

observed a fast to counteract those obstructing the

construction. “Sujalam Sufalam” – a scheme to

create a grid of water resources in Gujarat is yet

another innovative step towards water

conservation and its appropriate utilization.

Certain novel ideas like introduction of Soil

Health Cards, Roaming Ration Cards and

Roaming School Cards show his concern for the

most common man of the state.

His initiatives such as Krishi Mahotsav,

Chiranjeevi Yojana, Matru Vandana, Beti Bachao

campaign (save the girl child), Jyotigram Yojana,

and Karmayogi Abhiyan etc. aim at multi-

dimensional development of Gujarat. The vision,

concept and time-bound implementation of such

initiatives is what makes Shri Narendra Modi

stand out as a true statesman who thinks of the

next generation against the backdrop of politicians

who can only think as far as the next elections.

Widely regarded as a youthful and energetic mass

leader with innovative thoughts, Shri Narendra

Modi has successfully communicated his vision to

the people of Gujarat and has been able to impart

faith, trust and hope among more than 50 million

people of Gujarat. His outstanding memory of

addressing lacs of people, even common men, by

their first name has made him the darling of the

masses. His immense respect for spiritual leaders

has helped build bridges across religions. A wide

crosssection of the people of Gujarat, cutting

across income groups, religions and even political

affiliations, continue to adore Shri Narendra Modi

as an able and visionary leader who is

transparently and convincingly uplifting the

quality of their lives. A skilled orator and a deft

negotiator, Shri Modi has earned the love of

people from villages and cities alike. His

following encompasses people belonging to every

faith and religion and every economic section of

society.

It is under his able leadership that Gujarat has

bagged several awards and accolades from all

over the world – including UN Sasakawa Award

for disaster reduction, Commonwealth

Association for Public Administration and

Management (CAPAM) award for innovations in

governance, UNESCO award, CSI award for e-

Governance etc. The very fact that Shri Narendra

Modi has been ranked as the number one Chief

Minister by the public for three consecutive years

speaks volumes for his achievements.

His masterstroke of putting Gujarat on the global

map essentially is ongoing campaign called the

Vibrant Gujarat that truly transforms Gujarat into

one of the most preferred investment destinations.

Gujarat has been

registering double

digit growth rates

for the past

several years.

While Gujarat

continues to

accelerate on the path of growth and development,

the voyager continues to walk tirelessly, leaving

behind his footprints on the sands of time,

transforming milestones into smilestones, step by

step and marching towards the goal to celebrate

the golden jubilee of the state in 2010, when

Gujarat will proudly stand among developed

economies of the world. Even an overview of his

journey in politics from grass-roots to the helm

will speak volumes of his ever rising stature as a

leader.

DABANGG 2 is an upcoming Bollywood

action film directed and produced by Arbaaz Khan

under the banner of Arbaaz Khan Productions. It is a sequel to the 2010 film Dabangg and is

written by Dilip Shukla. Story is set in the city of Kanpur. The film will feature Salman Khan and

Sonakshi Sinha reprising their roles from the previous film, whilst Prakash Raj plays the main

antagonist.

Development of the project commenced after the

release of Dabangg, which turned out to be a

worldwide blockbuster. Filming began on 9

March 2012 in Kamalistan Studio in Mumbai. It is

slated for release on 21 December 2012. The first

look poster unveiled on 8 November 2012, whilst

the theatrical trailer was premiered on 10

November 2012, on Khan's reality show Bigg

Boss 6. Its trailer was also released in cinemas on

the day of Diwali along with Son of Sardaar.

Some industry watchers expect this film to be one

of the biggest grossers of the year, in line with other Salman films of recent years. The first teaser

of Ajay Devgn starrer Himmatwala will be attached with Dabangg 2.

Development

After the release of Dabangg, producer Arbaaz

Khan announced that he is currently planning an sequel to Dabangg. Soon after the blockbuster

collections of the film, Khan reported "Dabangg 2 may take time to hit the floors, but it is definitely

on the cards." He also announced that the main leads, Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha were

already casted to reprise their parts in the

sequel.[8] Her main look was also taken from the

first and consisted of a yellow saree, a long plait

with flowers in her hair. When director Abhinav Kashyap opted out of directing the sequel, Arbaaz

Khan himself jumped in as the film's director. Prakash Raj was confirmed to have been chosen

to play the main villain. Kareena Kapoor has been

roped in to play an item number in the film,

despite initial reports considering Katrina Kaif for

the role.

Dabangg 2 is valued at 180 crore. In Feb 2012,it

was reported that distribution rights were sold to

UTV Motion Pictures for a price of 140 crore, the highest for a Bollywood film till date. But later

UTV Motion Pictures reported it completely fake & nonsense news. UTV Motion Pictures has

brushed aside rumours of purchasing the rights of the sequel to Salman Khan-Sonakshi Sinha starrer,

Dabangg 2 for 140 crore.

Filming

Shooting for the film was slated to begin in March

2012. The producers announced plans to shoot the

film in Kanpur. A set depicting the city of Kanpur

was created at the Kamalistan Studios in Mumbai,

where the first schedule of the film was shot. The

entire studio was rented for the film, making it a

first in Bollywood. The phase consisted of

shooting a qawwali song under neon lights.

Following the shoot, filming is expected to take

place in film city in Mumbai. The last schedule

has been planned to be shot at Satara. Three days

after the film went on floors, it was reported that Salman Khan replaced cinematographer, K. K.

Senthil Kumar, with Aseem Kumar. A song titled "Fevicol" was choreographed as a dance number

and considered as an equivalent to "Munni Badnaam Hui" from Dabangg. Reports indicating

that Salman would essay an important involvement in the director's role were dismissed

by Arbaaz. It was also reported that Salman Khan

bought the scenes from Gabbar Singh (Telugu

Remake of Dabangg) for a whopping Rs 50 lakhs

and sources said that the scenes include the

Antyakshari scene, the cutout episode with

Brahmanandam and the Kabaddi scene.

Aries (Mar. 20--Apr. 19) : You have more energy than you know how to

burn! This is a good week for workouts. Good

news or helpful information comes to you from

one or more of the following sectors: publishing,

education, places of worship, travel and the

law. Travel is possible.

Taurus (Apr. 20--May 19): This is not the best of weeks to embark on a new

sexual encounter, or a new broker/financial manager relationship. Your judgment is cloudy in

these areas. Those who look like new friends may become a source of disappointment. So be really

cautious. There may be concerns about your

partner’s resources.

Gemini (May 20 -- June 20) :

This week is all about communications of every

sort. Even you will be talking, speaking, and

writing way more than is normal. Some of your

discussions will be intense, so be prepared. Read

or at least scan all new information coming your

way. A fresh piece of data might just be what you

need to fill in the gaps.

Cancer (June 21--Jul y 21) : Your energy level is good. Positive outcomes

related to your partner and/or children are reflecting well upon you. Almost anything you

set out to accomplish is handled in unusually quick time. You have what it takes to be a warrior

on behalf of yourself or others. People will listen to you.

Leo (July 22 --Aug. 21):

A project begun in late October is just beginning

to yield results. The outcome is probably not

what you imagined, but give it time to grow on its

own before you press it to become your original

image. Sometimes creative work takes on its own

purposes and changes shape before our eyes.

Virgo (Aug 22--Sep. 22) :

Your focus shifts to matters of home, hearth, and

family. Things of the past may float up in your

mind for reflection. Think carefully about what is truly important to you now, at this time in your

life. Don't allow old habits or rules from the past to make your decision for you. Obsessing is not

good for your health.

Libra (Sep. 23--Oct. 22) Speak and act with conscious intention around

children or with romantic partners. It is possible

that communications could go awry. Don't allow a

misperception to ruin a day. Discuss it

immediately, if possible. You may encounter a

short period of brain fuzz. Let it be and it will go by the end of the week.

Scorpio (Oct. 23--Nov. 21) :

You occasionally confuse what you think with who you are. There are those who will disagree

with you this week. Just don't let it become a battle to the death. Remain aware that your

identity is not at stake in this

situation. Coworkers may be challenging. You

are bigger than that. Rise above it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 --Dec. 20) :

Mercury travels rapidly through your sign

between Dec. 10 and the end of the year. During

this period there likely will be greater emphasis on

communications, errands, and other short distance

travels. Your mind will be quick and your attitude

persuasive. You are loaded with ideas, so

remember not to monopolize conversations.

Capricorn ( Dec 21 -- Jan 19) :

Take really good care of yourself throughout this week. You are moving toward a slump in your

physical cycle that will reach bottom next week. Your responsibilities in managing groups

may be getting the best of you. Make it a point to avoid a “life and death” attitude.

Aquarius (Jan. 20--Feb. 17) :

Things involving the Powers That Be continue to

move forward on your behalf. Your social life is

definitely on the upswing. This is a great week

for a getaway. Do something novel, even if you

don’t leave home. Your mind is open to whatever

seems fresh and unique.

Pisces (Feb. 18--Mar. 19) : Take every precaution not to abuse your body

during this period. Drugs or alcohol could have

peculiar side effects. You are in a low physical cycle and will be unable to push yourself as hard

as normal on any physical task. If you are affected emotionally, try not to worry about

it. Your body/feelings will right themselves after the 15th.
