Indian nationalism once again witnessed a severe blow by the separatist mentality in Kashmir valley when Muslim students in a function at the Kashmir University, refused to sing the National Song Vande Mataram in the presence of Governor A N Vohra. In an apparent bid to demean the National song, these students remained seated while it was being sang and hence, deliberately insulted the song.A shocked Governor asked Riaz Punjabi, Vice-Chancellor of the university to probe the happening. But to his utter surprise and a disgrace to his position, VC refused to obey the Governor and rebutted him openly. In an apparent disgrace to the Constitution, the Chief Proctor of the University Md Afjal Zargar responded to Governor stating that the honoring of national song was a ‘personal matter’ and they could not order students to honor it, nor could they ask them to stand while Vande Mataram was sung.Actually, The VC knows that ‘Secularist Atmosphere in Kashmir favors insult of Indian Traditions and Nationalist Symbols . But the larger question still remains:‘Who is guilty for this Degenerated state of Kashmir valley?’
The BJP government of Madhya Pradesh, in a landmark decision, has decided to start giving education of professional courses like Engineering & Medical in Hindi. Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan announced this historical decision of the government in a meeting of the Higher Education Department.# हम कराएँगे हिंदी में एमबीबीएस और इंजीनियरिंग की पढाई : शिवराज सिंह चौहानChief Minister Chauhan said that “We have noticed that many intelligent students are deprived of quality professional education only because they don’t know English. This is because of which we have decided that we will provide professional education in Hindi as well.Countries like Japan & China, have given their students education in their mother language for centuries, If they don’t lag behind, how is it possible that our youth will be behind anybody else, if he gets education in his mother language. We are confident that the youth of our state will set new records of success after taking degrees in Hindi.”Shri Chauhan said this in the meeting of the Higher Education Depatment. He directed department officials to accelerate the formalities of starting the Hindi University. He said “We are not against any language, but this is a worrying thing if a student is denied good education just because he doesn’t know a particular language.We want that Hindi should become the frontrunner of the coming revolution in University Education.” He also told the people present that land for proposed university has been chosen in Khurd village near Raisen, about 15 kilometres away from the capital. Also, a proposal has already been sent to the Governor regarding appointment of Vice Chancellor for the proposed University.It is to be noticed that Swami Ramdev is also fighting for the cause of starting professional education in Indian languages for many years.
