๐ŸŒŸ Happy Constitution Day! ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ✨

๐ŸŽ‰ Did you know? On 26th November 1949, the Constituent Assembly of India adopted the Constitution of India, which came into effect on 26th January 1950! Today, we celebrate Samvidhan Divas to honor this historic moment and the values that guide our nation. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ“œ

๐Ÿ‘‰ A Bit of Backstory:
In 2015, to mark the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar ๐Ÿ•Š️—the Father of our Constitution—PM Narendra Modi declared 26th November as Constitution Day while laying the foundation stone for Ambedkar’s Statue of Equality Memorial in Mumbai. ✍️✨ Previously called National Law Day, this day now shines a spotlight on Ambedkar’s ideas of equality and justice. ⚖️๐Ÿ•Š️

๐Ÿšจ Not a public holiday, but way more meaningful! Here’s how it’s celebrated:
✅ Schools read the Preamble aloud & host quizzes, essays, and mock debates. ๐Ÿซ๐ŸŽ“
✅ Universities organize mock parliaments to explore the Constitution. ๐Ÿ›️
✅ Indian embassies translate and share the Constitution globally ๐ŸŒ

๐Ÿƒ‍♂️ Run for Equality, special parliamentary sessions, and illuminated Parliament complexes add to the grandeur of this day. In 2019, students of Andhra University ran the Run for Ambedkar rally on Beach Road, Visakhapatnam. ๐Ÿƒ‍♀️๐Ÿ’–

๐Ÿ”ฅ 2023 Highlight: The Govt. of Manipur launched a bilingual edition of the Constitution in Meitei Mayek (Manipuri script) and English. ๐ŸŽ‰ Accessible in schools, libraries, and offices, this marked a historic first for the state. ✨๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿ‘‰ Let’s take a moment to appreciate the values of justice, equality, liberty, and fraternity enshrined in our Constitution. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ❤️

Stay proud, stay informed! ๐Ÿ’ช

Why is our language called ‘Tamizh’?

-
Why is our language called ‘Tamizh’? Ki. Va. Jagannathan (Ki. Va. Ja.), the legendary Tamil scholar and literary visionary, once found himself in the divine presence of Periyava, when a question was posed that momentarily stilled his erudition: “Why is our language called ‘Tamizh’?” Taken aback, Ki. Va. Ja. admitted with humility that he had never contemplated that question deeply. He reflected, “If someone were to ask me about the greatness of Tamizh, I could speak for hours—on its antiquity, its grammar, its literature, its uniqueness among world languages. But why it is called ‘Tamizh’—I do not know.” With characteristic grace, Periyava smiled and said: “This is merely my thought—neither confirmed by scholars nor inscribed in any linguistic doctrine. But to me, the answer lies in one letter: ‘เฎด’ (zha).” He then proceeded, in that meditative rhythm only saints possess, to list words that hold this unique sound, each word soaked in beauty and depth: เฎฎเฎดเฎฒை (mazhalai) – the babble of a c...

I've fallen for the song 'Bahu Manaratha' from the movie Memories in March. The music, composed by Debajyoti Mishra and the haunting vocals of Subhomita Banerjee, perfectly complement the poignant lyrics penned by Rituparno Ghosh. "Bahu manorathe saaju avisaare pahlu suneel besh Kajar nayaane salaaj bayane kusume sajanu kesh Sakhi hum, mohan avisaare jaaon Bolo hum, etath sukh kahan paaon   Jamunar pare, gahana aandhare, ghana nipaban maajhe Piya setha more bedana katare mohe laagi baithi aache Sakhi hum, mohan avisaare jaaon Bolo hum, etath sukh kahan paaon   Sakhi chira abhagini hum Baithe ekakini pohanu rajani tobu naa aailo shyam Sakhi chira abhagini hum   Krishna kajal pighal sajal nayaner nir dhare Eka khina patha britha manaratha bifala avisaare Sakhi hum, kabhu naa avisaare jaaon Dukh laaj etath sah nahi paahon   Britha manorathe saaju avisaare pahlu suneel besh Kajar nayaane salaaj bayane kusume sajanu kesh Fir aaj yun, mohan avisaare jaaon Sakhi...
