  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt.

DURGA DEVI VOHRA : THE FORGOTTEN FREEDOM FIGHTER

  DURGA DEVI VOHRA THE FORGOTTEN FREEDOM FIGHTER SARASIJ MAJUMDER Seventy-eight years after we, the Indians, finally got our hard-won independence, the courage and contributions of many freedom fighters were kept in the dark by NEHRU, INC—and the Left-Muslim eco system which controlled the education ministry for long! RESULT??   We don’t know most of the people, whose sacrifices are behind this ‘FREEDOM’ earned. One such unacknowledged, unrecognized heroine is a woman few Indians know about, a woman who lived a life of intrigue and danger to help her nation fight colonial rule. The woman was Durga Devi Vohra alias Durga Bhabhi. This unsung revolutionary appeared like a meteor on the anti-colonial nationalist sky and wielded tremendous influence on men such as Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Chandrashekhar Azad. She was born on October 7, 1907 in Shehzadpur village of Kaushambi district of Uttar Pradesh.   The only child of a Gujarati couple settled in...
