Jayanti or Bhim Jayanti is celebrated every year on April 14 on the birth anniversary of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar or B R Ambedkar. The celebrated Indian jurist, economist, politician and social reformer is not only regarded as the architect of India’s Constitution and one of the founding fathers of the Republic of India but also as a campaigner against social discrimination towards the untouchables (Dalits). Dr. B R Ambedkar was India's first independent law and justice minister, and a vigorous supporter of women and labour rights.

As India celebrates Ambedkar Jayanti 2019, here are a few quotes to remember ‘Babasaheb’ BR Ambedkar on his 128th birth anniversary.

1- “Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.”

2- Men are mortal. So are ideas. An idea needs propagation as much as a plant needs watering. Otherwise both will wither and die.

3- Caste is not a physical object like a wall of bricks or a line of barbed wire which prevents the Hindus from co-mingling and which has, therefore, to be pulled down. Caste is a notion; it is a state of the mind.

4- History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict, victory is always with economics. Vested interests have never been known to have willingly divested themselves unless there was sufficient force to compel them.

5- Some men say that they should be satisfied with the abolition of untouchability only, leaving the caste system alone. The aim of abolition of untouchability alone without trying to abolish the inequalities inherent in the caste system is a rather low aim.

6- I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.

7- Political democracy cannot last unless there lies at the base of it social democracy. What does social democracy mean? It means a way of life which recognizes liberty, equality and fraternity as the principles of life.

8- Democracy is not merely a form of government. It is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience. It is essentially an attitude of respect and reverence towards fellow men.

9- For a successful revolution it is not enough that there is discontent. What is required is a profound and thorough conviction of the justice, necessity and importance of political and social rights.

10- However good a Constitution may be, if those who are implementing it are not good, it will prove to be bad. However bad a Constitution may be, if those implementing it are good, it will prove to be good.

April 7 is observed as World Health Day. The day is celebrated under the leadership of World Health Organization to draw people's attention towards the importance of global health.

World Health Day 2019: Theme and SignificanceAcco

to WHO, World Health Day is a chance to celebrate health and remind the world that everyone across the world should have access to health care as and when in need. The movement highlights WHO's aim of a healthier, fairer world. The day focuses on equity and solidarity for raising the bar for health for everyone, everywhere.

The day aims at addressing the gaps because of which access to health is not available for all. The idea is to make health care services accessible to people without making them go through any financial hardships.

With strong primary health care, this goal can be achieved, mentions WHO. Primary health care is referred to whole-of society approach towards health and well-being, targeted towards the needs and preferences of communities, families and individuals.
Authorities and governments need to make an effort in investing in providing quality primary health care to people. Individuals and communities need to be empowered for taking care of their own health.

World Health Day: Maintain an active lifestyle to stay healthy and prevent diseases

Following are some healthy lifestyle tips for adults to live a happy and healthy life, devoid of any illness, infections and diseases:

1. Start with a healthy lifestyle right now and make efforts for a gradual progress.

2. If it has been a while since your last workout, then this is the time to begin with it. Maintain a physically active lifestyle and make exercise a part of your daily routine.

3. For wholesome nutrition, eat a variety of foods. Avoid going on calorie-restrictive diets in the name of weight loss. They may hamper your health and offer only temporary weight loss.

4. Maintain a healthy body weight. This can be done only after following points 2 and 3.
5. Eat regularly, never skip your meals. If you want to control your diet, then work on portion control. Starving yourself can negatively impact your health.

Born on September 28, 1907 in Punjab in British India, Bhagat Singh is a well-known freedom fighter who was a revolutionary socialist and played a crucial role during the Indian freedom struggle.
Remembering the Indian freedom fighter on his 87th death anniversary, we bring you some of his famous quotes that continue to inspire the nation.

''They may kill me, but they cannot kill my ideas. They can crush my body, but they will not be able to crush my spirit.''

''If the deaf are to hear the sound has to be very loud''
''Revolution did not necessarily involve sanguinary strife. It was not a cult of bomb and pistol.''

''Any man who stands for progress has to criticize, disbelieve and challenge every item of the old faith. Item by item he has to reason out every nook and corner of the prevailing faith.''

“Bombs and pistols do not make a revolution. The sword of revolution is sharpened on the whetting-stone of ideas”

This day was proclaimed to celebrate and raise awareness of the world' s wild animals and plants. The theme for World Wildlife Day 2019 is 'Life below Water: for People and Planet'.

ये आतंकों के गालों पर दिल्ली के चांटे होते,
गर हमने दो के बदले में बीस शीश काटे होते
बार- बार दुनिया के आगे हम ना शर्मिंदा होते
और हमारे सारे सैनिक सीमा पर ज़िंदा होते

ये कैसा परिवर्तन है खुद्दारी के आचरणों में
सेना का सम्मान पड़ा है चरमपंथ के चरणों में
किसका ख़ून नहीं खौलेगा सुन-पढ़कर अख़बारों में
सिंहों की गर्दन कटवा दी चूहों के दरबारों में
विज्ञापन

बार-बार की गद्दारी को भारत क्यों सह जाता है
ज़्यादा संयम भी दुनिया में कायरता कहलाता है
हमने 68 साल खो दिए श्वेत कपोत उड़ाने में
ख़ूनी पंजों के गिद्धों को गायत्री समझाने में

भैंस के आगे बीन बजाना बहुत हो चुका बंद करो
खुद को बिच्छू से कटवाना बहुत हो चुका बंद करो
नागफनी पर बेला चंपा कभी नहीं खिलने वाले
पत्थर की आंखों में आंसू कभी नहीं मिलने वाले
बंदूकों की गोली का उत्तर सद्भाव नहीं होता
हत्यारों के लिए अहिंसा का प्रस्ताव नहीं होता
कोई विषधर कभी शांति के बीज नहीं बो सकता है
और भेड़िया शाकाहारी कभी नहीं हो सकता है

पीपल छाया मांग रहा था यूं कीकर के पेड़ों से
जैसे कोई शेर सुरक्षा मांग रहा हो भेड़ों से
जैसे कोई मोती खो दे झीलों की गहराई में
हम कश्तूरी खोज रहे हैं उल्लू की परछाईं में
जब सिंहों की राजसभा में गीदड़ गाने लगते हैं
तो हाथी के मुंह के गन्ने चूहे खाने लगते हैं

रावलपिंडी वालों को सपने में काल दिखाओ तो
भारतमाता की आंखों के डोरे लाल दिखाओ तो
दिल्ली वालों ठोंकर मारो दुनिया के हथकंडों पर
इजराइल से जीना सीखो अपने ही भुजदंडों पर

भारत माता का बंटवारा है जिनकी अभिलाषा में
वे समझेंगे अर्जुन की गांडीव धरम की भाषा में
फूल अमन के नहीं खिलते कायर की परिपाटी में
नेहरू जी के श्वेत कबूतर मरे पड़े हैं घाटी में
दिल्ली वालों अपने मन को बुद्ध करो या क्रुद्ध करो
काश्मीर को दान करो या गद्दारों से युद्ध करो
जेल भरे क्यों बैठे हैं हम आदमखोर दरिंदों से
आजादी का दिल घायल है जिनके गोरखधंधों से
घाटी में आतंकवाद के कारक बने हैं जो
बच्चों के मुस्कानों के संहारक बने हुए हैं जो
उन ज़हरीले नागों को भी दूध पिलाती है दिल्ली
मेहमानों जैसे बिरियानी-चिकन खिलाती है दिल्ली

जिनके कारण पूरी घाटी जली दूल्हन सी लगती है
पूनम वाली रात चांदनी चंद्रग्रहण सी लगती है
जिनके कारण मां की बिंदी दाग दिखाई देती है
वैष्णों देवी मां के घर में आग दिखाई देती है
उनके पैरों बेड़ी जकड़े जाने में देरी क्यों है
उनके फन पे एड़ी रगड़े जाने में देरी क्यों है
काश्मीर में एक विदेशी देश दिखाई देता है
संविधान को ठुकराता परिवेश दिखाई देता है
वे घाटी में भारत के झंडों को रोज जलाते हैं
सेना पर हमला करते हैं ख़ूनी फाग मनाते हैं
हम दिल्ली की खामोशी पर शर्मिंदा रह जाते हैं
भारत मुर्दाबाद बोलकर वे ज़िंदा रह जाते हैं

हम दिल्ली की खामोशी पर शर्मिंदा रह जाते हैं
शायद तुम भी सत्तामद के अहंकार में ऐंठे हो
क्या सत्रह मंत्री मरने के इंतजार में बैठे हो
सेना पर पत्थरबाजों को कोई इतना बतला दो
ये गांधी के गाल नहीं हैं उनको इतना समझा दो
दिल्ली वालों सेना को भी कुछ निर्णय ले लेने दो
एक बार पत्थर का उत्तर गोली से दे लेने दो
जब चौराहों पर हत्यारे महिमामंडित होते हों
भारत मां की मर्यादा के मंज़र खंडित होते हों
जब कस भारत के नारे हों गुलमर्दा की गलियों में
और शिमला समझौता जलता हो बंदूकों की नलियों में
तो केवल आवश्यकता है हिम्मत की खुद्दारी की
दिल्ली केवल दो दिन की मोहलत दे दे तैयारी की
सेना को आदेश थमा दो घाटी गैर नहीं होगी
जहां तिरंगा नहीं मिलेगा उनकी खैर नहीं होगी

बर्मा, बंगलादेश तलक सीमा पर ऐंठे रहते थे
और हमारे नेता चूड़ी पहने बैठे रहते थे
दिल्ली डरी-डरी रहती थी पाक-चीन के बाॅर्डर पर
सेना बांधे हाथ खड़ी रहती थी किसके ऑर्डर पर
दुनिया को एहसास कराओ हम निर्णय ले सकते हैं
हम भी ईंटों का उत्तर अब पत्थर से दे सकते हैं
अब तो वक्त बदलना सीखो डरते-डरते जीने का
दुनिया को एहसास कराओ 56 इंची सीने का
