  NEWS&VIEWS|||SARASIJ 23/12/2025. SUNDAY|VOL—IV 2025/DECEMBER OPINIONATED, FOR FREE CIRCULATION. Recently released documents from the Nehru Archive show that India’s first Prime Minister had advised President Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan against conferring the Bharat Ratna – the country’s highest civilian honour – on Savarkar. The suggestion to award the Bharat Ratna to Savarkar came from the Punjab unit of the Hindu Mahasabha. Responding to Radhakrishnan’s letter from Dehradun in June 1963, Nehru wrote, “Your office has sent me a letter which I am returning. In this letter it is suggested that Bharat Ratna may be awarded to Shri Savarkar. Shri Savarkar has certainly played an important part in his early days in the freedom movement. But later he became a very controversial figure. I do not think it would be advisable to accept this suggestion made by the Punjab Hindu Mahasabha.”   --INDIAN EXPRESS. *23-December is Kisan Divas (Farmer’s Day).* ...

  Real Life Robinson Crusoes SARASIJ MAJUMDER   Peter Warner, an Australian seafarer whose already eventful life was made even more so in 1966 when he and his crew discovered six shipwrecked boys who had been living on an uninhabited island in the South Pacific for 15 months. Peter died on April 13, 2021 in Ballina, New South Wales. He was 90. In June 1965 the boys, all students between 13 and 16 years old from a boarding school in Nuku’alofa, had stolen a 24-foot long boat and gone for what was intended as a maritime joy ride. Before setting sail they brought food that they took from their homes and a few Liters of water that they were able to collect. That same day they set sail on an adventure.   A few hours into their trip, though, a fierce wind broke their sail and rudder, setting them adrift for eight days. Then luckily they reached at an uninhabited island. The children managed to get water from the coconuts and got to eat some fish they caught. At first ...

  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. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years.

  OPERATION SINDOOR ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN SARASIJ MAJUMDER It will be difficult for Pakistan to come out of the loss it suffered in this 4-day KINETIC WAR, fought only in the airspace, involving Fighter Jets, Missiles, and DRONES as attacking weapons. Pakistan claims that J-10C jets, equipped with PL-15 missiles, were used in combat, and that they downed multiple Indian Rafale and other fighter jets. GOI has not accepted any loss of Fighter Jet. No image of Rafael lost is available. GOI is not declaring the HITS it inflicted upon Pakistan. Even then, I have pieced together the information and provided a picture. A. The expenses due to direct losses of HARDWARE may be divided into the following items: - 1.0 Fighter Jets: -- May be 10 Numbers. 4-F16 as a combat loss. 2 Nos. Mirage 2000 and 4 Nos. F16, possibly due to the hit it received when parked on the Air Bases. However, this figure could be more.   Pakistan's retired Air Marshal Masood Akhtar public...

  UNDERSTANDING WOMEN SARASIJ MAJUMDER   In a poem titled   ‘ বিদায় অভিশাপ ’—(FAREWELL CURSE)--, Tagore wrote: ........ রমণীর   মন   সহস্র বর্ষেরই   সখা সাধনার ধন । । [ ( To understand) Mind of a woman, my dear, ||You need a devotion of thousand years. ]—- Translation is mine. In simple language—‘One Life is not good enough to understand the mind of a Woman’—that is what, Devyani—the heroine of the poem said to Koch, her beloved. And I agree after completing 46 years of married life! However, based on my experience—I wanted to write an article on the subject, sharing my understanding for Romeos of future generations. This BLOG is an attempt towards that. Before I start—I want to share an interesting dialogue I had in an evening, with one of my American friend, ( married, and was living with wife and kids,) at his Ranch at Texas. When the darkness of evening started falling upon us, he told me: “….Mate—I understand Machines, Horses, Dogs…...
