Shreshta Bharat Divas is a one-of-its-kind tribute to recognize and honour the valiant sacrifice made by our brave soldiers. The date 27th January has another special significance in the contemporary history of India. It was on this day, 51 years ago, when Bharat Ratna and Nightingale of India Lata Mangeshkar sang the soul stirring song ‘Ae Mere Vatan Ke Logon’ in the backdrop of the Indo-China war.

The Honourable Chief Minister of Gujarat and the Prime Ministerial Candidate of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Shri Narendra Modi shall be the guest of honour and will personally felicitate Lataji and hundreds of other war veterans. Also for the first time ever, more than a lakh Indians will unite to sing ‘Ae Mere Vatan Ke Logon’. This unprecedented and collective feat would be a rich tribute to the invaluable contributions of our selfless jawans, who risk everything to keep our borders safe and secure.

Shreshta Bharat Divas is being organized by the youth body Citizens for Accountable Governance (CAG) in association with Lodha Foundation and Shahid Gaurav Samiti. The run up to Shreshta Bharat Divas also saw a series of online initiatives being launched by the organizers to spread awareness about the heroic feat of our martyrs and reinvigorate a sense of patriotism and oneness amongst the youth. The prominent amongst these was a nationwide patriotic poetry contest titled ‘Zara Yaad Karo Kurbaani’. The winners of this contest will receive a certificate signed by Shri Narendra Modi and Lataji. In an effort to create the largest online repository of articles about of the life of army personnel and their families, the organizers are also running a ‘Share Your Story’ online campaign on the event website. As a part of the Shreshta Bharat Divas, the ‘Write to the Heroes’ campaign has been launched, whereby every citizen of the country can write a message to our jawans. These messages will be printed and sent out to the soldiers through post cards. Shreshta Bharat Divas is also a platform for socially conscious citizens to support martyr families. All proceeds raised will be donated to the Army Welfare Fund and Zilla Sainiki Welfare Office.

Shreshta Bharat Divas will be one of the largest citizen driven initiatives to honour the men in uniform. The organizers have personally visited prominent colleges across Mumbai to invite students to participate in full strength for this historic event.  Alongside with former chiefs of the Air force, Army and Param Vir Chakra Awardees, representatives from the world of art, cinema and politics will also be participating in this show of unity.  Param Vir Chakra Awardee Bana Singh, parents of valiant martyrs Captain Manoj Pandey and Captain Vikram Batra are some of the prominent invitees who have confirmed their attendance. Some of the other prominent invitees include Former Army Chief General Ved Prakash Mallik, Shiv Sena President Mr. Uddhav Thackeray, Bhojpuri super star Manoj Tiwari and Marathi artist Ashok Hande.

The World This Week On India
December 31, 2024

India has been under the international spotlight this week, with significant developments in diplomacy, economic growth, technological advancement, and cultural recognition. From pivotal diplomatic visits to groundbreaking achievements in defense and technology, India’s story has been one of progress and influence on the world stage.

Diplomatic Triumphs

One of the focal points of this week was the achievements of PM Narendra Modi’s visit to Kuwait on Dec 21-22, the first bilateral prime ministerial visit to the Gulf nation in 43 years.
The world sees the visit PM Narendra Modi’s strategic move to strengthen ties in a region undergoing significant transitions. It not only closes a crucial gap in India’s diplomacy with the Gulf but also signals the nation’s proactive stance in navigating the complex geopolitics of West Asia.

Economic and Technological Advances

  • In the realm of finance and technology, India has made headlines by surpassing China to top the Asian IPO rankings. According to data from Dealogic for 2024, India is poised to become the world’s second-largest equity fundraising market, a testament to the robust investor confidence in the Indian market. This achievement reflects India’s economic resilience and growth potential.
  • India has also taken significant steps towards semiconductor self-reliance. The initiation of construction for semiconductor fabrication and packaging units marks a promising start in the nation’s quest to carve a niche in the global semiconductor industry. Read more about this here.
  • Additionally, India’s maritime sector is set for a transformation, with an investment of $10 billion over the next 25 years to make India one of the world’s top shipbuilding nations. This development not only aims at bolstering India’s maritime capabilities but also positions it as a key player in the global maritime industry.

Defense and Strategic Developments

  • India’s strides in defense technology have also been a topic of global conversation. The successful test of a hypersonic missile places India among an elite group of nations with such capabilities, enhancing its strategic posture in regional geopolitics. This advancement underlines India’s growing military prowess.
  • Adding to the narrative of self-reliance, Prime Minister Modi’s push for domestic production of defense equipment, including the K9 Vajra-T artillery platforms, has been highlighted. This initiative not only boosts the ‘Make in India’ campaign but also fortifies national security through indigenous innovation.

Cultural and Leadership Recognition

  • In the cultural sphere, the influence of Indian cinema was acknowledged with tributes to Shyam Benegal, an influential director known for his contributions to India’s ‘parallel cinema.’ Benegal’s work from the 1970s, which challenged mainstream Bollywood by focussing on social issues, has been celebrated, reflecting India’s rich cultural fabric on the international stage.

Religious Freedom and Vision for the Future

  • The discourse on India’s democratic ethos was enriched by statements from figures like Mary Millben, who praised India’s commitment to religious freedom as a hallmark of its democracy. Such endorsements bolster India’s image as a pluralistic society.
  • India’s goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047 as envisioned by PM Modi has received endorsement from Indermit Gill, chief economist at World Bank. Complementing PM Modi on his vision, Gill believes that India will see its prime potential over the next two decades. Read more about India’s future prospects here.

The week has painted a picture of India as a nation on the move, not just in terms of economic metrics but also in cultural, technological, and diplomatic arenas. The global coverage reflects a growing recognition of India’s multifaceted development and its increasing influence on the world stage.

From the Gulf’s diplomatic corridors to the cutting-edge labs of defense technology, from the boardrooms of American companies to the cultural dialogues of cinema, India’s story this week has been one of global engagement, innovation, and leadership.
