We Accept The Challenge
COME, let the drops of Panditji’s blood serve us as marks of sandal-paste on our foreheads and inspire us to march firmly towards our goal. Let us bear a spark from his pyre in our hearts and exert ourselves to our utmost. Let us make out of the bones of this Dadhichi our thunderbolts to […]
Pure Indian
I WAS born in a family that took active part in the Arya Samaj movement. I grew up in the, shadow of that fierce agitation. This has certain advantages as well as disadvantages. On the advantage side it can be said that very early in life I became conscious of the Value of free thinking […]
Angel In Human Form
PANDIT Deendayal Upadhyaya did not fit into the popular image of leadership. Most of the leaders look like heroes, talk like oracles and pose as kind of super- men.

A towering intellectual who inspires
I came in direct contact with Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya because of his annual visit for the function held every year in Muzaffarpur.

As there is a thin line of difference among articles, writer, journalism and news, a similar […]
First Among Equals
If I am invited for function to remember Deendayal ji it is a honour for me because I am a stranger and I feel honored. Since Deendayalji has left I am out of touch with various things and many contacts have been lost. He was a very focused person and he was multifaceted. Deendayal ji […]
