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!!

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

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.
