Bipin Chandra Pal

7 November
 
My Dear Indians,

Today is the birthday of Bipin Chandra Pal


He was born on 7 Nov 1858.
He passed away on 20 May 1932.

He was born in a place called Sylhet in Bengal which is now a part of Bangladesh.

Bal, Lal and Pal were revolutionaries and freedom fighters but their thoughts were completely different from that of Mahatma Gandhi and Congress party.

Sri Aurbindno and Bipin Chandra Pal were the creators of “Purna Swaraj” and “Swadeshi” movement.

Bipin Chandra Pal was against caste system and was in favour of widow re-marriage. And he practiced what he preached….when his wife passed away he married a widow and joined ‘Brahmo Samaj’.
 
 
Who were Bal, Lal and Pal ?
 
They were Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai and Bipin Chandra Pal
 
One of you asked me, What does it mean - 'there thoughts were different from that of Mahatma Gandhi?'
 
If I can use the word 'extreme' .... then Gandhi ji was an extreme follower of non-violence. An example is the way he acted after the Chauri Chaura incident.
 
There were people within Congress party who did not like to follow non violence to this extent. Bal, Lal, Pal, Gopal Krishan Gokhle were some of them.
 
Mahatma Gandhi and Congress Party were asking the British for Swaraj or Home rule. Home rule meant that Indians will run the day-to-day affairs of country but the British would continue to be the Head of State. This was also referred to as the 'dominion' status. This was not true freedom.
 
In contrast Bal, Laj, Pal and others like Bhagat Singh wanted 'Purna Swaraj' meaning complete independence. The British should just leave India and go.
 
Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Chandra Shekhar Azad killed a British Police Officer in 1928 to avenge the death of Lal (Lala Lajpat Rai). Bhagat Singh was arrested.
 
When they were in jail and were being tried in a British court, Bhagat Singh and his companions became popular across the country. Their views on "Total Independence" became so popular that Mahatma Gandhi and Congress Party HAD to give up the objective of "Swaraj" and HAD to adopt "PURNA SWARAJ" as their objective.
 
It was only in 1930 on 26 January that the Congress party asked the British for Purna Swaraj.
 
This was the time when Bhagat Singh was in jail and had become popular among the masses more than Gandhi Ji and Congress.
 
Bhagat Singh was martyred in 1931
 
 
Jai Hind !

Order of precedence of the Republic of India- Why is the President the first citizen of India ?

My Dear Young and Little Indian Children, What does it mean when we say- The President is the First Citizen of India or the Vice President is the Second Citizen of India ? These terms have been coined to denote the Order of precedence of the Republic of India. What does Order of precedence of the Republic of India mean? A list of senior Govt functionaries/ Officers/ Public Representatives is prepared by The Ministry of Home, Govt of India which is known as protocol list. This list is as per the hierarchy of important positions. Suppose you have cooked something special at home. I believe you will first offer this dish to your Grandfather, then to your Grandmother, then your Father, then your Mother, then your elder brother/ sister. This is the Order of precedence of your Home. Similarly, The Ministry of Home has prepared an Order of precedence of the Republic of India. Why is the Order of precedence of the Republic of India made? This is made to decide who is senior to who
