भारतीय वायुसेना दिवस 2021

 

Indian Air Force Day 2021 (08 October 2021)

 

भारतीय वायुसेना दिवस 2021


Indian Air Force Day 2021 : देश में हर साल 8 अक्टूबर को भारतीय वायुसेना दिवस (Indian Air Force Day) मनाया जाता है। आज भारतीय वायुसेना अपना 89 वां स्थापना दिवस मना रही है। वायुसेना दिवस के मौके पर शानदार परेड और भव्य एयर शो का आयोजन होता है। हर साल की तरह इस बार भी हिंडन बेस पर वायुसेना अपने शौर्य का प्रदर्शन करेगी। वायुसेना के एक से एक विमान और जवान हवा में हैरतअंगेज करतब दिखाते दिखेंगे। यहां जानें भारतीय वायुसेना दिवस के इतिहास और महत्व के बारे में - 



8 अक्टूबर 1932 को वायुसेना की स्थापना की गई थी इसीलिए हर साल 8 अक्टूबर वायुसेना दिवस मनाया जाता है। देश के स्वतंत्र होने से पहले वायुसेना को रॉयल इंडियन एयर फोर्स (आरआईएएफ) कहा जाता था। 1 अप्रैल 1933 को वायुसेना का पहला दस्ता बना जिसमें 6 आएएफ-ट्रेंड ऑफिसर और 19 हवाई सिपाहियों को शामिल किया गया था। आजादी के बाद वायुसेना के नाम में से "रॉयल" शब्द को हटाकर सिर्फ "इंडियन एयरफोर्स" कर दिया गया था। भारतीय वायुसेना ने द्वितीय विश्वयुद्ध के दौरान भी अहम भूमिका निभाई थी।


आजादी से पहले वायु सेना आर्मी के तहत ही काम करती थी। एयर फोर्स को आर्मी से 'आजाद' करने का श्रेय भारतीय वायु सेना के पहले कमांडर इन चीफ, एयर मार्शल सर थॉमस डब्ल्यू एल्महर्स्ट को जाता है। आजादी के बाद सर थॉमस डब्ल्यू एल्महर्स्ट को भारतीय वायु सेना का पहला चीफ, एयर मार्शल बनाया गया था। वह 15 अगस्त 1947 से 22 फरवरी 1950 तक इस पद पर बने रहे थे।  


गीता से लिया गया है आदर्श वाक्य 

भारतीय वायुसेना का आदर्श वाक्य है- 'नभ: स्पृशं दीप्तम'। यह गीता के 11वें अध्याय से लिया गया है। यह महाभारत के युद्ध के दौरान कुरूक्षेत्र में भगवान श्री कृष्ण द्वारा अर्जुन को दिए गए उपदेश का एक अंश है।


वायुसेना ध्वज


वायुसेना ध्वज, वायु सेना निशान से अलग, नीले रंग का है जिसके शुरुआती एक चौथाई भाग में राष्ट्रीय ध्वज बना है और बीच के हिस्से में राष्ट्रीय ध्वज के तीनों रंगों अर्थात्‌ केसरिया, श्वेत और हरे रंग से बना एक वृत्त (गोलाकार आकृति) है। यह ध्वज 1951 में अपनाया गया।

Lal Bahadur Shastri: The Man of Revolution



The date 2nd October will instantly ring a bell in people who possess an obsessive enthusiasm for our motherland. And, it is the way it should have been because it’s day when India’s greatest statesman Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri was born. Lal Bahadur Shastri, who later grew up to become the second Prime Minister of India, was born in Uttar Pradesh’s Mughalsarai town.

Here are some of the most interesting facts about  the great personality, who has been posthumously awarded Bharat Ratna:

He was a believer of equality and considered caste system a social evil that creates divide. Therefore, Lal Bahadur Shastri gave up his family name at an early age. It was only after joining the Kashi Vidyapeeth and after getting a degree in Philosophy, he received the epithet ‘Shastri’

Caste system was not the only social evil Lal Bahadur Shastri was fighting against. He also raised his voice against the dowry system and refused to accept anything from his wife’s family at his wedding. It was only after repeated requests from his father-in-law, he took few meters of Khadi cloth as a wedding gift

Taking inspiration from Mohandas Gandhi and Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lal Bahadur Shastri gave up his studies to join the freedom movement in 1921

 Being a part of the freedom movement landed up him in jail quite often which is why he had to be on parole of 15 days when his daughter fell sick. He was there with her when she succumbed to the disease. But, without waiting any longer and even after having some parole time at hand, he went back to jail soon after performing his daughter’s last rites

After India’s independence, Govind Ballabh Pant took over as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and he appointed Shastri as the Minister of Police and Transport Control. As the in charge of the transport department, Shastri brought about a meaningful change by appointing women as conductors for the first time. As the in charge of the police department, he replaced the traditional lathis with water jets to put crowds under control. He was also successfully able to control communal riots of 1947

When Shastri was completing his term in prison, his wife received a pension of Rs. 50 every month. Once, when his wife visited him in the jail and told him that she was able to save Rs. 10 from the pension, he got annoyed and asked the Servants of People’s Society to cut down his pension and give that Rs. 10 to someone needy family

When his son received an undue promotion at his job, it irked Lal Bahadur Shastri and he immediately released an order to reverse the promotion

A man with high self-esteem and morals, Shastri did not own a car even after becoming the Prime Minister of India. After pestering from family members, Shastri finally asked his secretary to find out the price of a Fiat car. The cost turned out to be Rs. 12,000 and Shastri was short of Rs. 5000. As a result, he applied for a car loan which was sanctioned to him in a jiffy. The bank officer was immediately summoned and inquired whether the bank was equally swift in sanctioning of loans to other customers also

It’s evident how important principles were to Lal Bahadur Shastri, he always followed the right and wasn’t slightly biased even to his family. We thank him for his actions that shaped the future of India. This exceptional scholar and leader must be remembered dearly by the nation for his efforts and just nature.

Some more information about the Visionary:

Lal Bahadur Shastri’s birth anniversary coincides with Mahatma Gandhi’s birth by whom he was deeply influenced.

His father was a school teacher who passed away when he was just a year and a half old. After the father’s demise, his mother settled at her father’s house with three kids.

He joined his uncle in Varanasi so that he could go to high school. Nanhe, or ‘little one’ as he was called at home used to walk miles to reach school without shoes.

He studied in Kashi Vidya Peeth in Varanasi, one of the many national institutions set up in defiance of the British rule. There, the young leader came under the influence of the greatest intellectuals, and nationalists of the country.

The word ‘Shastri’ in his name was the bachelor’s degree awarded to him by the Vidya Peeth but it got stuck in the minds of the people as part of his name.

At the time of freedom struggle, he led several campaigns and spent a total of seven-year in British jails.

Lal Bahadur Shastri got married to Lalita Devi in 1927.

After the Congress Government was formed in 1946, the young man was being invited to play a constructive role in the governance. The party appointed him Parliamentary Secretary in the State of Uttar Pradesh and soon rose to the position of Home Minister.

He shifted to New Delhi in 1951 and held several portfolios in the Union Cabinet – Minister for Railways; Minister for Transport and Communications; Minister for Commerce and Industry; Home Minister; and during Nehru’s illness Minister without portfolio.

He promoted the White Revolution – a national campaign to increase the production and supply of milk – by supporting the Amul milk co-operative of Anand, Gujarat, and creating the National Dairy Development Board.

Mahatma Gandhi - Father of the nation

Mahatma Gandhi - Father of the Nation 



 

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.” - Mahatma Gandhi

Gandhi’s father was Hindu by religion and Modh Baniya by caste.

Mahadev Desai was Gandhi’s personal secretary.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was assassinated in the garden of the former Birla House.

Gandhi ji and famous author Leo Tolstoy interacted with each other through letters.

Gandhi ji set up a small colony, Tolstoy Farm at an 1100 acre site, 21 miles from Johannesburg, South Africa for his colleagues in the Satyagraha struggle.

In 1930, he led the Dandi Salt March, and in 1942, he launched the Quit India Movement during the freedom struggle.

He not only fought for Independence but also demanded fair treatment for the untouchables, lower caste, and also done several fasts in support of them. He also called untouchables as Harijans meaning "children of God".

The country against whom he fought for India's Independence, Great Britain, released a stamp honouring him, 21 years after his death.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was not born with the title Mahatma. He was given the title to him by the Nobel Prize-winning Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore, according to some authors.

When Jawaharlal Nehru was giving the tryst of destiny speech to celebrate independence, Gandhi ji was not present at that time.

It is said that Mahatma Gandhi's funeral procession was 8 kilometers long.
