TIRUCHI Members of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, Tamil Nadu, took out a ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ moto
Members of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, Tamil Nadu, took out a ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ motorcycle rally here on Wednesday to encourage people to hoist the national flag in their respective homes to mark the 75th year of the country’s independence.
Holding national flags, the BJP youth wing members started the motorcycle rally from the Major Saravanan Memorial led by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha Tamil Nadu state general secretary Gautam Nagarajan. The members released balloons on the occasion.
Enroute, the rallyists garlanded the statues of freedom fighters Dheeran Chinnamalai, Muthuramalinga Thevar, V.O.Chidambaram, B.R. Ambedkar, V. V. Subramanya Iyer and Kamaraj and paid their respects. They also offered floral tributes at the Salt Sathyagraha Memorial, Gandhi Asthi Mandapam near the Government Hospital and at the World War I Memorial near the Gandhi Market. The motorcycle rally concluded at the Kamaraj statue near the Chathram bus stand.
“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”
