Reading “Homage to Mahatma” to observe 75th Anniversary of Martyrdom of Gandhiji

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi or Mahatma Gandhi called the ‘Father of the Nation’ was assassinated on 30 January 1948 at New Delhi. He was 78. The assassin fired three bullets into Gandhiji’s chest. 30 January is also observed as Martyrs Day to honour his martyrdom as well that of all martyrs who laid down their lives for the cause of country’s independence and national unity. Today, 30 January 2023, is the 75th anniversary of the Martyrdom of Mahatma Gandhi. In the aftermath of his assassination, tributes poured in from world over mourning the violent death of the apostle of peace and non-violence. Some of the important messages were compiled and published by Publications Division in a book form titled ‘Homage to Mahatma’ in 1948. In this episode, I read out some of the obituaries received from global leaders. The book has been structured as messages received from different continents; and I follow almost similar structure with some minor variations in sequence to read, remember and reflect on the impact left by the Great Gandhiji.

Readings From ‘Albert Einstein: Selected Writings’; Publisher: LeftWord in association with Ocean

Who does not know Albert Einstein (1879-1955), the Nobel Laureate, not only one of the greatest scientists of human kind, but one of the greatest human minds! As we are about to leave behind 2022, and enter the new year 2023, let us leave our past and get into future with the most sobering thoughts of Einstein as expressed in some of his lesser known speeches and writings on humanitarian issues of world peace, human equality, the need for social commitment of intellectuals and leaders, among other issues. Most of these essays and speeches were recorded before, during and after the World War II and take up issues of disarmament and world peace quite prominently. I read excerpts from some of these writings collected in the book ‘Selected Writings of Albert Einstein’ edited by Jim Green and published by LeftWord publications in association with Ocean Press in 2004. This episode has four segments.
