Turkey will now be called as Turkiye which is the new name of the country.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government started efforts for the name change process in December. United Nation Organization (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday – Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Kavusoglu wrote a letter saying, now his country should be known as Turkiye, not Turkey. We have accepted this request.

Purpose behind name change

The government wants to make Turkey a brand name in the world. This is because the word Turkey or Turkish is considered negative according to the language there. For this reason, the citizens here have been calling it ‘Turkiye’ since the declaration of Turkey’s independence in 1923. 

Erdoan had long been trying to get “Turkiye” (pronounced: tur-kee-yay) recognized at the international level. After the recognition of the UN, this effort has now turned into success.

Holland’s new name is Netherland, Burma is Myanmar, Silon is Sri Lanka now. These are a few countries which changed its name as well.

Sadhguru, Founder-Isha Foundation, is riding 30,000 km in 100 days as a lone motorcyclist, starting from London on March 21, 2022 as part of the Save Soil Movement.

In the course of this journey, Sadhguru is reaching Jaipur on June 2nd 2022 after crossing 27 countries of Europe and the Middle East.

Sadguru in Jaipur

Sadhguru, along with Ashok Gehlot, Chief Minister Rajasthan, will address a huge public gathering on June 3rd from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM at the Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre, Sitapura Industrial Area, Jaipur.

Sadguru launched Save Soil

Sadhguru launched the global Movement to Save Soil from extinction this March and is currently on a 100-day, 30,000 km #JourneyForSoil.

He started his journey in London on 21st March and will culminate it in the Cauvery river basin in late June.

Journey for Soil

Riding through the bone-rattling chill of Europe and the furnace of the Arabian desert, he recently set foot on the soil of India alighting at the Jamnagar port in Gujarat soon after his #JourneyForSoil met with resounding success in Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East.

Sadguru sailed on Indian Ocean

Sadguru, after leaving from Port Sultan Qaboos and Oman, sailed for three days on the Indian Ocean, to reach India’s west coast on Sunday evening.

The Indian Navy gave a rousing welcome to him, as their band played the Save Soil Anthem. The crowd chanted ‘Dharti ki pukaar, dharti ki lalkaar, dharti ki dahaad, mitti bachao ped lagao’, while Sadhguru planted a sapling.

 With a heartfelt gesture of thanks, Sadhguru exited the port to continue his Journey in India.

THE SAVE SOIL MOVEMENT

The main objective of the Save Soil Movement is to urge all nations to mandate a minimum of 3-6% organic content in agricultural soils via urgent policy reforms. Soil scientists have warned of the imminent death of soil, a phenomenon they are terming as ‘soil extinction’ Without this minimum organic content.

How agricultural soils are posing risk for desertification

In India, the average organic content of agricultural soils is estimated to be around 0.68% placing the country at high risk for desertification and soil extinction. Around 30% of fertile soils here has already become barren and is incapable of yield. It is estimated that nearly 25% of fertile land has been desertified globally. Even the United Nations has warned that 90% of the earth could turn into desert by 2050- less than three decades from now at current rates of soil degradation.

Soil extinction could lead to unprecedented ecological, economic and social catastrophes threatening the security and cultural fabric of every nation.

The Save Soil Movement is supported by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the UN World Food Programme, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). 

As Sadhguru started his journey 68 days ago, a total of 74 nations from across the world have pledged action to save soil in their countries.

Maharana Pratap Jayanti marks the birth anniversary of Rajput warrior Pratap Singh, one of the bravest Rajput rulers of India, who ruled Mewar in Rajasthan for 35 years.

As other Rajput rulers accepted the supremacy of Akbar, he was one of the few rulers in Indian history who fought against the mighty Mughal Empire.

Going with the English calendar, his birthday falls on 9 May. However in India, his birth anniversary is celebrated, as per the Hindu calendar, on the Tritiya tithi of Jyeshtha’s Shukla Paksha.

In the year 2022, it is the 482nd birth anniversary of Maharana Pratap and the day will be celebrated on 2 June.

On his birth anniversary, let’s read about a few lesser-known facts about the 13th king of Mewar:

  1. Pratap had a height of 7’5 while his weight was almost 110 kgs. 
  2. Many believe that he had ability to carry two 104-kg swords. 
  3. The weight of his armour was about 72 kg and the weight of his weapon was 32 kg.
  4. Maharana Pratap’s father was the 12th ruler of the Mewar dynasty who founded Udaipur.
  5. A few historians have noted that Maharana Pratap Singh had 11 wives and 17 kids. 
  6. Maharana Amar Singh 1 was the eldest son of Pratap who later became the successor and 14th Rajput ruler. 
  7. It is also said that the three sons of Pratap Singh played crucial roles in the battle against the Mughals.
  8. Maharana Pratap is considered as ‘India’s first original freedom fighter’ because he fought valiantly against Akbar’s army in the battle of Haldighati and the Battle of Dewair restricting the expansionism of the Mughal empire. 
  9. The warrior defeated the Akbar’s army thrice – in 1577, 1578 and 1579. Historians say that Maharana Pratap lost the battle of Haldighati but as he could not be captured it can be said that the war was incomplete. 
  10. Maharana Pratap’s horse named Chetak and his loyalty stories towards the king are known across Mewar.  During Haldighati battle, Mughal force leader Man Singh I attacked Chetak and caused some fatal injuries. However, Chetak saved the life of Maharana Pratap by sacrificing his own life by jumping across a stream that was approximately 22 feet wide.
  11. Maharana Pratap passed away at 56 after getting hurt in a hunting accident at Chavand on 19 January 1597.
  12. In 2007, a statue of Maharana Pratap was built in the Parliament of India.
