NATIONAL: LANGUAGE: 31 August -World Sanskrit Diwas 2023: Know the date, history, significance and more

Sanskrit is thought to be around 3500 years old, making it part of the ancient Indo-Germanic or Indo-Aryan language family.

Sanskrit Diwas, also known as Vishwa Samskrita Dinam, is celebrated annually on the full moon of Shravana. The 31st of August is Sanskrit Diwas this year. This annual event honours Sanskrit, one of the world’s oldest living languages and a cultural treasure in India.

Sanskrit, sometimes called the “Mother of All Languages,” is an important part of human history and culture. The traditional works in several disciplines, including Literature, Philosophy, Mathematics, and Science, were originally written in Sanskrit, giving the language immense importance.

History

The Government of India’s Ministry of Education proclaimed the World Sanskrit Day. In 1969, on the day of Shraavana Poornima, people began commemorating this special day. Sanskrit is thought to be around 3500 years old, making it part of the ancient Indo-Germanic or Indo-Aryan language family. It is the source of the Latin and Greek languages and has the most extensive vocabulary. Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, not only in India, consider it to be their native tongue.

Sanskrit has influenced Europe as much as the Indian subcontinent. Sir William Jones, an English scholar who admired Indic languages, travelled to India in 1783 and started researching the language. This makes Sanskrit one of the oldest languages throughout the globe.

Sanskrit linguist Panini developed the Ashtadhyayi, the eight-chapter grammar manual. He led the world in spoken Sanskrit. India honours Panini on World Sanskrit Day. This day sees several Kavi Sammelan activities for authors and students throughout and beyond.

Significance

The historic event in India honours Sanskrit’s rich cultural history and scientific accomplishments. It tries to expand the language beyond Vedas and other Hindu religious texts. World Sanskrit Day promotes this ancient form of communication. Sanskrit Diwas is celebrated to bring attention to and revitalise the ancient language for the modern world.

The Europeans also gave the day its importance in the language. William Jones established the Asian Society and created the English translation of works including Kalidasa’s Abhijnana Shakuntala, Ritu Samhara, and Jayadeva’s Gita Govinda.

In addition, harmony and acceptance are honoured on this special day. Sanskrit is a powerful tool for unity and connecting individuals across the globe.

Sanskrit is fading in India despite its significance in history. The language existed from 1500 to 500 BCE, although it is now lost. Therefore, Sanskrit Diwas was created to restore the language.

INTERNATIONAL & NATIONAL: Prof Pankaj Khanna, Indian Institute of Technology (IITGN) Gandhinagar Joins ‘IODP Expedition 389′ Team as Sedimentologist for Offshore Study of Hawaiian Reefs’ role in Climate Change

Prof Pankaj Khanna, a faculty member in Earth Sciences at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN), has been handpicked as the sedimentologist from India to join an offshore research expedition.

This endeavor, titled ‘IODP Expedition 389,” is a part of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) and aims to investigate climate change patterns through the study of drowned reefs off the coast of Hawaii.

Prof Khanna’s role scheduled to unfold from August 29 to November 1, places him amidst a cohort of 31 leading researchers hailing from various parts of the world. Their collaborative mission will centre on the meticulous drilling and analysis of fossilised coral reefs encircling the Hawaiian islands. This undertaking promises to unearth invaluable insights into the intricate interplay between global sea-level variations and the broader spectrum of climate change on a planetary scale.

Prof Pankaj Khanna, said, “The research cruise will provide critical datasets to dive deep into past sea levels and climate for the last five lakh years for which there are very limited records. The rocks collected through scientific drilling will give critical information on mechanisms that control abrupt climate change. I will be analysing the core samples that will be collected on the research expedition. I am looking forward to what the drowned reefs offshore Hawaii holds for us to expand our understanding.”

At the heart of this enterprise lies the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP), a far-reaching collaborative effort encompassing contributions from 21 countries, including India. Its goal is to delve into the annals of Earth’s history, structure, and dynamics through the meticulous collection and examination of seafloor sediments, rocks, and sub-seafloor environments.

Within this framework, the European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling (ECORD), a key component of IODP, oversees specialised missions such as the ongoing ‘Expedition 389,’ designed to probe submerged reefs off Hawaii’s coastline.

Steered by Co-chief Scientists Prof Jody Webster from the University of Sydney, Australia, and Prof Christina Ravelo from the University of California, Santa Cruz, the expedition will unfold aboard the MMA Valour vessel.

Distinguished by its Benthic Portable Remotely Operated Drill (PROD5) system, the vessel will be home to scientific endeavors that span up to 11 distinct sites. These locales encompass fossil coral reefs encircling Hawaii and hold a treasure trove of climate data spanning significant epochs in Earth’s history.

WORLD RECORD: SPORTS / JAVELIN: Neeraj Chopra Scripts History yet Again, becomes First Indian to Win Gold in World Athletics Championships

The 25-year-old dominated the competition and achieved his best throw of the day in his second attempt.

Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra on Sunday scripted history yet again as he became the first Indian to win a gold medal at the World Athletics Championships with a throw of 88.17m in the men’s javelin final here.

In another first, three Indians finished in the top eight with Kishore Jena (84.77m) and DP Manu (84.14m) taking the fifth and sixth spots, respectively. Never before did three Indians finish in top eight of an event at the World Championships.

The 25-year-old Chopra achieved his best throw of the day in his second attempt. He had a foul to start with, but then got 88.17m, 86.32m, 84.64m, 87.73m and 83.98m.

Pakistan’s reigning Commonwealth Games champion Arshad Nadeem took the silver with his season’s best throw of 87.82m, while Jakub Vadlejch of the Czech Republic got the bronze.

Chopra has now become only the second Indian — after shooter Abhinav Bindra — to simultaneously hold the Olympics and World Championships titles.

Chopra, who had become the first Indian Olympic track and field gold medallist at the Tokyo Games in 2021, had won a silver in the 2022 edition of the World Championships.

Before him, legendary long jumper Anju Bobby George had won a bronze in the 2003 World Championships.

The Indian superstar also became only the third javelin thrower in history to simultaneously hold the Olympics and World Championships titles after the iconic Jan Zelezny of the Czech Republic and Andreas Thorkildsen of Norway.

The Indian men’s 4x400m relay team, however, failed to replicate their show from the heats to finish fifth in the final.

Another title

In men’s pole vault, Sweden’s world record holder Armand Duplantis claimed his second consecutive world title on Saturday, but did not have a seventh world record in him.

The Olympic champion cleared 6.10 metres for gold and then — in what turned into the “Mono show” — missed at three attempts to clear 6.23, which would have been world record number seven for the remarkable 23-year-old.

Uganda’s Victor Kiplangat, the 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medallist, won the men’s marathon on Sunday with a time of two hours 8 minutes 53 seconds.

NATIONAL: Chandrayaan-3 Moon Landing: August 23 to be Celebrated as ‘National Space Day’, says PM Modi

Summary

-Terming the success of Chandrayaan-3 mission as an ‘extraordinary moment’ in the history of India’s space programme, he said the place where the Chandrayaan-2 lander crash-landed on the Moon’s surface in 2019 would be known as

-August 23, the day the Chandrayaan-3 lander touched down on the lunar surface, would be celebrated as

Prime Minister Narendra Modi flew down to Bengaluru on Saturday directly from the Greek capital of Athens to interact with ISRO scientists on the successful Chandrayaan-3 mission and announced the decision to name the place where lander ‘Vikram’ touched down on the lunar surface as “Shiva Shakti Point”.

Terming the success of Chandrayaan-3 mission as an ‘extraordinary moment’ in the history of India’s space programme, he said the place where the Chandrayaan-2 lander crash-landed on the Moon’s surface in 2019 would be known as “Tiranga Point”.

23 August, the day the Chandrayaan-3 lander touched down on the lunar surface, would be celebrated as “National Space Day”, said the Prime Minister, who turned emotional while addressing the team ISRO at ISRO Telemetry Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) here, as he lavishly praised them for their dedication and passion.

ISRO Chairman S Somanath briefed him about the Chandrayaan-3 mission. A large number of people, many of them holding aloft national flags, gathered outside the HAL Airport and Jalahalli Cross, which is close to ISTRAC, to greet the Prime Minister.

On Wednesday evening as the Lander Module of Chandrayaan-3 mission successfully touched down on the lunar surface, Modi joined the ISRO team at Mission Operations Complex (MOX) at ISTRAC virtually from Johannesburg, where he was attending the 15th BRICS summit.

Modi had also flown down to Bengaluru on the night of 6 September 2019 to watch the planned touchdown of Chandrayaan-2 mission’s ‘Vikram’ lander. But in the early hours of September seven, barely minutes before it was slated to land, ISRO lost contact with the craft, just 2.1 km above the lunar surface.

INTERNATIONAL: GLOBAL RECORD BREAKER: Dr. Vivek Bindra: The Indian Trailblazer with 09 Guinness World Records

Dr Vivek Bindra, the famous business coach, the world’s number one influencer, has won the coveted Guinness World Record an astounding nine times so far.

There are awards, and then there is the Guinness Book of World Records. People and organisations labour throughout life to get their names registered there once. What would you call someone who is the only Indian to have his name registered in the prestigious Guinness Book of World Records, not once, not twice, not even thrice, but nine times? Well, we call him Dr Vivek Bindra.

Nine Guinness World Records: A Remarkable Achievement

Dr Vivek Bindra, the famous business coach, the world’s number one influencer, the leading leadership consultant, and the Founder and CEO of Bada Business Pvt. Ltd. He has won the coveted Guinness World Record an astounding nine times so far, and that too on varied topics and subjects like HR, Finance etc., thus becoming the only one in the country to be able to do so. 

Beating the Dreaded Pandemic And Teaching Others How To Do So: Dr. Bindra’s First Guinness World Record

No one alive today can ever forget the dark time they had to face in the year 2020, starting from the month of March. That was the time when the dreaded virus COVID-19, short for CoronaVirus Disease-2019, was at its peak. People were not only losing their jobs and livelihood, but millions lost their lives too around the world. This resulted in the governments globally announcing an instant lockdown, including that in India, and life as we knew it came to a complete standstill. Dr Bindra had many live sessions planned for the period, but owing to the necessary lockdown, everything had to be cancelled. That was when he came up with the brilliant idea of holding the seminars online, or webinars as it is now commonly known.

He won his first GWR (Guinness World Record) during that period in April 2020 for holding the world’s largest online business lesson. That was the very first webinar Dr Bindra held during that time. Many other companies and trainers tried to do the same and held webinars too, but could only gather some thousand to two thousand people to attend them. Dr Bindra’s very first webinar itself had more than 13 Lakh participants from across the globe attending it. Hence, the GWR!

World’s Largest Online Sales Lesson: Dr. Bindra’s Second Guinness World Record

The second GWR didn’t take long and came to hold the world’s largest online sales lesson the very next month, in May 2020. June, August, and September of the same year saw Dr Bindra getting the next three GWRs. The year 2021 came in with his next three world records in the months of June, August, and October, while he earned his 9th GWR in September 2022. 

What is worth noting here is that all the GWRs he has earned so far earlier belonged to people from several other countries like Russia, China, Great Britain etc. Dr Bindra, working towards his goal aligned with that of our esteemed PM of making Bharat a Vishwa-Guru, is the first and the only Indian to get them all together for the country now. This, in itself, should be a great matter of national pride for each and every Indian.

A Streak of Success: Multiple Guinness World Records in 2020

Along with the 9 Guinness World Records, Dr Bindra also holds a place in the much-fancied Golden Book of Records for training the largest gathering of HR professionals under one roof with his event ‘Can HR become a CEO?’ He has in a while earned many other awards and honours with a list long enough to cover many pages, like Times of India – Speaking Tree awarding him as the Best CEO Coach in India, PwC awarding him with the Pride of The Nation award, and Maruti Suzuki awarding him for being the Best Corporate Trainer in India for two consecutive years.

Beyond Guinness: Executive Coach and Global Trainer

Dr Bindra is also a respected Executive Coach for the top 100 CEOs in India and has trained and groomed millions of people in more than 25 countries now.

NATIONAL: ARMS MANUFACTURING: India’s State-owned Defence Co., AWEIL launches ‘Prabal’ 1st long-range Revolver; makes it accessible for civilians

The swing revolver —Prabal — is capable of firing up to 50 metres and will be made available for arms dealers and civilians with a valid licence.

Amid growing incidents of gun violence in recent years, India’s state-owned defence company has launched the country’s first long-range swing revolver ‘Prabal’ for civilians and arms dealers.

Manufactured by the state-owned enterprise Advanced Weapons and Equipment India (AWEIL) based in Kanpur, the Prabal revolver boasts of a firing range of up to 50 metres, which the company claims is “twice the range of other revolvers.”

The single and double-action ‘Prabal’ revolver weighs 675 grams (excluding cartridges). It has a chrome-platted barrel length of 76 mm and an overall length of 187.7 mm.

AWEIL’s officiating director Rajiv Sharma said the .32-bore revolver is capable of accurately hitting targets up to 50 metres away. “This range is more than double that of other revolvers currently in production, establishing Prabal as a frontrunner in the field of long-range handguns,” he added.

“The feature that sets Prabal apart from its counterparts is the incorporation of a side swing out cylinder. This innovative design element eliminates the need to fold the firearm for cartridge insertion, simplifying the reloading process and enhancing user convenience,” he said.

What does India’s gun law say and who can own firearms?

The gun control laws in India are among the most stringent legislations in the world.  According to the Arms Act of 1959, the possession, sale, manufacture and export of firearms without a valid license is outlawed and is punishable with a fine and jail term. 

Under the Arms Act, firearms are classified into two categories — Prohibited Bore (PB) and Non-Prohibited Bore (NPB) firearms. PB weapons comprise of fully and semi-automatic firearms and other specified types of firearms that are issued only by the Centre for certain groups of people, while NPB weapons are firearms issued by the government for civilians.

Only, defence officers, high-ranking government officials and select shooters can hold PB weapons while civilians are only granted a licence to hold NPB weapons. According to the Arms Act, a maximum of two firearms can be issued per license.

In order to hold a firearm in India, the individual applying for a license must be a citizen of this country and must be a minimum of 21 years of age. Guns can only be utilized for three purposes —  sports, crop protection and self-defence.

For a self-defence license, an individual must provide proof of a threat to life. However, this can also be cited with respect to protection from wild animals in certain cases. The individual must also detail a record of their criminal behaviour (if any) as the law prohibits gun ownership for civilians sentenced to imprisonment on charges of violence for five years.

Upon submitting the application, police will take two months to perform background checks, assess the individual’s mental health and criminal history. They will also evaluate any threats claimed and the individual’s competence to handle firearms. 

Amid a spate of gun-firing incidents

The revolver’s launch comes at a time when India continues to witness a surge in civilian-triggered gun violence and deaths.

From the killing of an Imam during the recent communal clashes in Haryana’s Nuh and Gurugram to the gunning down of a journalist in Bihar’s Aria district last week, gun violence continues to be a growing problem in India. 

On August 17, two people were killed and six others were injured when a person who works as a bank security guard opened fire on them from his double-barrel gun after an altercation over pet dogs in Madhya Pradesh’s Indore city.

In the past week, India’s top court had expressed concern over multiple incidents of gun violence across courts in Delhi and called the situation “appalling.”

However, gun violence is not restricted to civilians as well. 

An RPF constable gunned down his senior officer and three Muslim passengers on a Jaipur-bound train near Maharashtra’s Palghar station on July 31. While officials claim the motive behind the crime is not clear, the constable has a past history of harassing minority community members.

INTERNATIONAL: INDIA’S GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY TIE-UPS: Trinidad and Tobago becomes latest Country to Sign up for IndiaStack Tech Package

The Caribbean nation joins the list of others such as Papua New Guinea, Antigua & Barbuda, Armenia to tap India’s home-grown technologies such as UPI to advance their own digitization. 

Trinidad and Tobago has become the latest country to sign for IndiaStack — a set of technologies such as UPI — to help with the digital transformation of the Caribbean nation. 

These set of technologies were developed to solve India’s problems while progressing towards a presence-less, paperless, and cashless society.

Having been successfully deployed in India, the country is keen on exporting low-cost technology to other developing nations. 

A similar MoU was signed with Papua New Guinea also last month, showcasing the growing interest and acceptance of the initiative on a global scale.

Since June 2023, India has already signed technology export agreements with Armenia, Sierra Leone, Suriname, and Antigua & Barbuda.

In addition, UPI, which is also a part of India Stack, has been exported to France, UAE, Singapore and Sri Lanka.

The government said it is in advanced discussions with several other countries such as Mauritius and Saudi Arabia for finalizing cooperation on IndiaStack.

Under the latest agreement, India and Trinidad and Tobago agreed to conduct capacity building, training programmes, exchange of best practices, exchange of public officials and experts, development of pilot or demo solutions, etc.

This collaboration comes after Union Minister of State for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship and Electronics & IT, Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar met with Trinidad and Tobago’s Minister of Digital Transformation, Senator Mr Hassel Bacchus, in August last week.

During the meeting, they discussed mutual cooperation in the fields of IT, emerging technologies, and the India stack.

The Indian government is keen to export the technologies across the globe, especially to “those that have been left behind in their digitalisation efforts”.

“With the help of India Stack, these countries can climb up the digitalisation ladder rapidly and transform their economies and governance,” the government said.
