Editorial
When the editorial team decided to have an Independence
Day special this month, our thoughts went to our previous
years issues and the articles that were written then. It is
definitely an occasion for us to celebrate our hard earned
freedom. A few fiery speeches applauding a selected few
contributors and flag hoisting across the nation. A few hours
hence, the flag and the freedom fighters are soon forgotten for
another one year.
Even when there is news of happenings that raise our
National pride, we often find remarks and political discussion
that kill our spirit. The recent quick action of our Central
government in coordination with the Kerala state government
for the release of the 56 nurses trapped in the civil war in
Iraq is highly appreciated. It brings to focus the results of
working together. The expatriate community has gained a
new confidence of a strong government that is ready to back
them at times of need. But it was unfortunate, that a prominent
leader in the state had to rubbish the same, claiming it to be
an act of compassion by the dreaded separatist fighters of the
ISIS. You need to have character and courage to call a spade,
a spade.
The educational system of our nation is stuck in the age
when this was initially adopted with a selfish motive to
keep the society misinformed and ignorant of the great
contributions given to our civilization by our great sages and
peers. The dream of our freedom fighters who gave their life
for the nation, of developing a society that was self-sufficient
and highly educated, still remains a dream. Education alone

Inspiring Sinhagad
In our country, Bharat, every bit of land is having
great history. Great people have borned and did
great things in every part of our country. The great
warriors fight with our national enemies (mlecha) for
the protection of our country and culture. Sanyasis,
for them it is life-time mission, were preaching and
guiding the people and kings in the dharmic way.
Every sand became holy by the touch of their feet.
God Himself came in the form of Avatar to protect
the good people by destroying evils and re-establish
the Dharma . All these happened in every part of our
country.

Tanaji was preparing for his son's wedding. Once
he heard the message, without second thought he
immediately left for capturing the Kondana fort.
Disguising the local tribe, he secretly studied
the fort for the weak point to enter. He found the
security is vigilant on the fort, but one place was
unguarded as that cliff is very steep assuming that
nobody from outside can climb up in that area.
March 15, 1670
Tanaji was having a pet lizard named yashwanti..!
This monitor lizard was 1.8 metre in length and
obedient to its master. Tanaji used this yashwanti to
scale the steep cliff. Using the the power of gripping
with its strong claws, Tanaji tied a rope and climbed
up with 342 Maratha soldiers.

inactions and low capabilities in leading the Nation
forward.
The only ray of hope is the youth of the Nation.
They are politically and socially active. But turning
them in the right direction must be the top agenda
of our society if we are to survive as a Nation and
move forward competing in this world. They must
perform not for their own benefit alone but with a
sense of pride that their contribution is towards the
betterment of the Nation and the world as a whole.
Aspirations for a politically correct, economically
successful, socially vibrant Nation must not end
up being a dream. A hope for achieving this in our
lifetime alone will keep the Nation moving forward.
Or else there will only be desperation which can
ruin the foundations of our country.
Whilst our history books speaks volumes of a
few notable freedom fighters like Nehru and Gandhi
(and the dynasty that has followed), we have
forgotten the names of many of our fighters who
laid down their lives for our Nation much before the
British even ruled us.
Names like Shivaji, Rani Laxmi Bai, and Rana
Pratap have become small paragraphs in many of
our text books today. Twenty years before Gandhiji
even came into the Independence stuggle Pandit
Shyamji Krishnavarma initiated the movement
for Independence in London. He was the first to
advocate Non-Cooperation. A strong advocate of
non-violence, he never ruled out the use of force
to free his motherland. An exponent in the Vedas
and a radical reformer, he took his Guru Dayanand
Saraswatis message across the nation. He strongly
supported Lokmanya Tilak in his struggle against
the British government. He succeeded in his vision
and he produced the greatest revolutionaries such as
Madam Bhikhaiji Cama, Sardarsinh Rana, Krantivir
Vinayak Savarkar, Virendra Chattopadhyay, and
Hardayalji etc.

movement in Bihar and made a call for Total
Revolution. Late Shri Nanaji Deshmukh brought JP
and his concept of total revolution to our movement.
Thus our movement became a part of it. But all his
dream of total revolution ended with the failure
of the political experiment of Janata Government.
Total revolution and sarvepi sukhina santu
are similar in content. Let us bring a non-violent
revolution in the village India. Our Antyodaya
concept also says that fast changes should reach
the last man in the country. Let us not be satisfied
with anything short of total change; nothing short of
total transformation is acceptable for the rural poor.
Governments slow pace of progression is of no use
to the Nation. An example is the recent Child labour
elimination programme. Government planned
elimination process in 250 districts, that also at the
District centres. So how many decades it will take
for total elimination of child labour: one century?
So, social progression has to be revolutionised.
Governance for the people is to be reinstated. This is
important for trade unions, as 40% of the population
is labourers.
Change has to be from work without quality to
quality work or decent work as proposed by ILO.
UN has come with a proposal to eradicate world
poverty through its 2nd phase of MDG (Millennium
Development Goal) starting from 2015 involving
trade unions also. Organised sector and unorganised
sector have different issues and the issues are very
large. So trade unions may have to adopt new
styles and methods while going to the vast area of
Unorganised Sector. Minor programmes here and
there will not be able to bring any change. Trade
unions are well aware that the long used conventional
trade union methodology will not suit to meet the
emerging challenges in the world of work.
India lives in villages. BMS which is working
closely with the lowest strata of the society, has taken
up the challenge of transforming the situation. In the
last National conference of BMS held at Jalgaon,
Maharashtra, it had given a new direction to the trade
union movement by raising two slogans: Organise
the unorganised and March to Villages. This is
giving thrust to the liberation of vulnerables in the

Self-regulated learning combines cognitive
skill and motivational will, so that students can
select challenging tasks, apply effective learning
strategies, measure their success against personal
standards. Self regulated learning builds
confidence in children and enables them to acquire
effective problem solving skills that extend
beyond the classrooms. Self learning promotes
self confidence, creates initiative, promotes
perseverance and eventual self satisfaction. The
more opportunity people get at decision making, at
reading their own minds, their feelings, wants and
needs when they are young, the more likely they learns good work ethics, and gets trained to delve

Then what does the school do? How can we
give the child his rights within the system? Is it
possible for schools to follow Board syllabus and
evaluation system, but still find time to expose
children to self learning? Very challenging, but
not impossible. The curriculum lends itself better
to self learning. Children can be self taught using
any curriculum available. Curriculum can be
adapted to the school culture and climate. Self
taught children are self motivated because they
have self realization and gain confidence and are
motivated by the sense of a job well done.
Believe me, your children will be smarter than
anyone if they are self learnt children. Think of

Thought provoking:
INDEPENDENCE - FREEDOM
SWATANTRAM - SUTANTRAM
On August 15th
At the same time Britain became Independent..!
No more depending on India!!
So, August 15th
Indian Freedom day
and
British Independence Day..!
Right?
Aug-15th is Indian Swatantra dinam.
What is the meaning of Swatantram?
Swa + tantram. Swa means our own. (Antonym
is para, that means others) tantram means technique
or method or way.
Before Aug-15, India was under the clutches
of British, so their method was imposed on us. It
was taught that our mother language was inferior to
English, our culture and tradition were inferior to
British, our dressing was uncultured and British way
of dressing was superior, and like that., we got rid of
the clutches and got Freedom. is is Indian Swatantra
dinam.
After 15-Aug, 1947, British left and our own
