Hindostan Ki Kahani, Episode-3, Architecture , हिन्दोस्तां की कहानी -3 - वास्तुकला

आज कल इस सवाल को लेकर बहुत सी अटकलें लगायी जा रही हैं कि कौन हिन्दोस्तानी है और कौन नहीं , हिन्दोस्तानी संस्कृति, भाषा , भोजन, संगीत क्या है और इसमें से कितना कुछ ऐसा है जो भारतीय नहीं हैं साथ ही अंग्रेजों की ग़ुलामी से हिन्दोस्तां को आज़ाद करने के संघर्ष और हिन्दोस्तां के इतिहास को भी एक अनोखे ढंग से पेश किया जा रहा है। इन सभी बातों से जुड़े सवालों को निरंतरता की एक अविरल धारा के रूप में देखने के इस प्रयास का नाम "हिन्दोस्तां की कहानी" है , उम्मीद है आपको पसंद आएगा और आप इसे दूसरों के साथ साझा करेंगे। A loud debate is raging at the moment about who is an Indian and who is not. What constitutes Indian Culture, Food, Language, Music is also sought to be redefined. Simultaneously issues connected to our struggle to free ourselves from colonial servitude and questions about our past are being given a strange new perspective. HINDOSTAN KI KAHANI, is an attempt to look all these questions and the very idea of India as an ever moving, ever changing, stream. We hope you will like our attempt and will share it widely.

किसान मुक्ति संसद - Kisan Mukti Sansad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TULeAV600c&t=8s

With the agrarian distress reaching its peak under the present BJP government, thousands of farmers across India gathered at Parliament Street, Delhi on 20th and 21st of November 2017 to demand a one-time complete waiver of farmer loans and fair prices for their produce. The agitation was launched under the umbrella of All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee whereby 184 farmer groups participated in the protest. They were protesting against the cost versus income imbalance presently being faced by the farmers in the country, leading to suicides and indebtedness. One of the highlights of the protest was the preparation of a draft bill, encompassing the two key demands that were debated by a farmer’s parliament. Farmers demanded a legally binding assurance of fair and remunerative prices through measures like higher procurement, deficiency price payment, appropriate trade policy and punitive measures for traders purchasing farm produce at below support prices. The farmers have reiterated that if their demands are not met they will follow it up with militant action.
