India in 2047
India in 2047 is the premier superpower of the world, superpower in all aspects… economically, militarily, spiritually, in sports, in fashion, in lifestyle, in infrastructure, in sustainability, in altruism. It has truly become a beacon of hope in a world which was filled with strife and competition. In 2047, this Vishwaguru leads the way in treading the path towards Vasudhaiva Kumtumbakam and Sarvotthanam. There is no area of constructive activity where India is not no. 1 in the world. In 2047, India is not rising, it has already risen! It is not shining, it itself is the source of light! Bharat, Hindustan, India, Aryavratta, call this ancient civilization by whatever label you want, the crux is that it has reached the zenith of its advancement culturally, civilizationally, materially, spiritually. It is destined to remain at this zenith for atleast a hundred thousand years starting in its 100th year of independence from foreign rule i.e. 2047. The dream of our Indian heroes, martyrs, legendary rulers, freedom fighters, acitivists has been realized! This is the India that heroes like Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji, Netaji, Bhagat Singh ji, Gandhiji, Raja Janak ji, Adi Shankaracharya ji, Chaitanya Mahaprabhuji, Tatas dreamed of !
India today is the picture of all that is and can be good in a nation. India today is a force for good. India is the Akhand paramount mighty nation that no conniving entity can ever dream of harming, lest it call forth trouble and punishment on its own accord. Today no Indian sleeps on a hungry stomach, today every Indian has access to speedy healthcare services, today there is rule of law, today corruption does not exist, today there is harmony, brotherhood, peaceful coexistence, cooperation between all classes, castes, religions, societies in India.
TODAY MY INDIA IS WHAT OUR MAHAPURUSHAS ALWAYS ASPIRED IT TO BE…JAI HIND, JAI HIND KI SENA….Love you my country India, my heart beats for you, thank you for all that you have given me so generously, I have no words to express my gratitude to you, I am because of you, I am for you, I am YOU 🇮🇳

Hindi speakers should give more respect to other languages: President Ram Nath Kovind
Source : The Hindu
President Ram Nath Kovind on Thursday asked Hindi-speaking people to give more respect and space to regional languages and their speakers in a bid to make Hindi more popular across the country.
Addressing a function on the occasion of ‘Hindi Divas’ in New Delhi, the President said, Hindi continued to face opposition in some parts of the country even though it became an official language many decades ago.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who was also present at the function organised by his Ministry, said in his address that Hindi could be enriched further if its speakers also used words from other languages.
Referring to recent incidents on the Bangalore Metro, where a pro-Kannada group opposed Hindi signboards in the train service, and earlier agitations against Hindi in Tamil Nadu, President Kovind said there was a feeling among some people that Hindi was being imposed on them.
“Non-Hindi speaking people desire that we [Hindi-speaking people] give attention to their languages. Those who speak Hindi should give space to other languages. We all have the responsibility to give respect to non-Hindi speaking people and regional languages,” he said.
Mr. Kovind suggested that those who speak Hindi should greet a Tamilian with a ‘vanakkam’, a Sikh with ‘Sat Sri Akal’ and a Muslim with an ‘Adaab’ — words of greeting in Tamil, among Sikhs and in Urdu respectively. They should use the word ‘Garu’ (sir) while addressing a Telugu-speaking person, he said.
The adoption of other languages and cultures will help unite the people and the country, he said.
The President said he had used the Russian word ‘spasiba’ (thank you) while ending his speech at a state banquet during the recent visit of Belarus President A.G. Lukashenko. The guest was so delighted that he spontaneously responded with a ‘Jai Hind.’
The Belarus President also announced that Hindi would be taught in that country’s state university from this month.
Mr. Kovind also asked lawyers and doctors to use Hindi and other regional languages at work.
“In India people don’t understand the language of lawyers and doctors. In courts, now, gradually Hindi and other languages are being spoken. Similarly, if the doctors start giving prescriptions in Devanagari and other languages, the doctor-patient distance will be reduced,” he said.
In his address, the Home Minister said Hindi was the unifying language for the country and had helped bring people of different regions together during India’s freedom struggle.
“We [Hindi-speaking people] should accept and use popular words of regional languages. If we do that, it will enrich the language,” he said.
Mr. Singh said the contribution of non-Hindi speaking people such as Mahatma Gandhi and Bal Gangadhar Tilak was immense in making Hindi an official language of the country.
He also questioned those who said English was required for India to become an economic power.
“I want to ask those who say that without English India can’t be an economic power, how come China has become an economic power by speaking Mandarin,” he said.
In his welcome speech, Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju said even though Hindi was not his mother tongue, he felt immense pride while speaking the language.
“In my native State [Arunachal Pradesh], Hindi is widely spoken and used by common people from all walks of life,” he said.
