International Day of Non‑Violence 2020: History, Theme, Quotes, Significance, Slogans, Taglines, Images, Poster

The International Day of Non-Violence is observed on 2 October, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the Indian independence movement and pioneer of the philosophy and strategy of non-violence.

According to General Assembly resolution A/RES/61/271 of 15 June 2007, which established the commemoration, the International Day is an occasion to “disseminate the message of non-violence, including through education and public awareness”. The resolution reaffirms “the universal relevance of the principle of non-violence” and the desire “to secure a culture of peace, tolerance, understanding and non-violence”.

Introducing the resolution in the General Assembly on behalf of 140 co-sponsors, India’s Minister of State for External Affairs, Mr. Anand Sharma, said that the wide and diverse sponsorship of the resolution was a reflection of the universal respect for Mahatma Gandhi and of the enduring relevance of his philosophy. Quoting the late leader’s own words, he said: “Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man”.

Definition of Non-Violence

The principle of non-violence — also known as non-violent resistance — rejects the use of physical violence in order to achieve social or political change. Often described as “the politics of ordinary people”, this form of social struggle has been adopted by mass populations all over the world in campaigns for social justice.

Professor Gene Sharp, a leading scholar on non-violent resistance, uses the following definition in his publication, The Politics of Nonviolent Action:

“Nonviolent action is a technique by which people who reject passivity and submission, and who see struggle as essential, can wage their conflict without violence. Nonviolent action is not an attempt to avoid or ignore conflict. It is one response to the problem of how to act effectively in politics, especially how to wield powers effectively.”

While non-violence is frequently used as a synonym for pacifism, since the mid-twentieth century the term non-violence has been adopted by many movements for social change which do not focus on opposition to war.

One key tenet of the theory of non-violence is that the power of rulers depends on the consent of the population, and non-violence therefore seeks to undermine such power through withdrawal of the consent and cooperation of the populace.

There are three main categories of non-violence action:

protest and persuasion, including marches and vigils;
non-cooperation; and
non-violent intervention, such as blockades and occupations.

All about wild mammals as Jon Hall cites

EBNW Story

September 30, 2020, 1:23 PM

Jon Hall, a globe trotter who launched mammalwatching.com, a website where mammal aficionados can discover the destinations for spotting their favourite species, is quite passionate and dedicated for the cause of mammals. Let’s meet this man who mentions about three books in his newsletter to spread awareness on mammals:

By Harsh Vardhan

Are birds more popular than mammals? The question may not be easy to answer. However, it is a fact that there are over 5,000 different mammal species across the globe, against the 10,000 bird species. As bird-watching has become the most common wildlife watching hobby and there are many websites dedicated to ornithology enthusiasts, similar resources about mammals are scarce. Therefore, Jon Hall launched mammalwatching.com, a website where mammal aficionados can discover the top destinations for spotting their favourite species, and pick up tips on how to catch a glimpse of those that prove to be more elusive.

All about wild mammals as Jon Hall cites — *Vivek Menon on Indian Mammals. He set up the Wildlife Trust of India( WTI) to excel in several disciplines*

Here we share with readers what Jon Hall is serving to humanity on mammals only. He admits, he is, “genetically Welsh, spiritually Australian, currently in New York City, lived and worked in London, Canberra, Paris and Lusaka, and visited over 100 countries.” Can one understand? Still thirsty, subscribe to: mammalwatching.com and you will be face-to-face with wild species. And no price paid.

Passion and dedication: Jon has shared over his newsletter (Mammal Watching) details about three news books: Pictorial Pocket Guide to the Mammals of Sri Lanka by Sanath Kotagama and Sampath de A Coonatilake with illustrations by Ratna Vira, published by Field Ornithology group of Sri Lanka.

Another book highlighted by him is: Asia’s Wildlife A journey to the forests of Hope by Fanny Lai Bjorn Olesen; a coffee table book done for BirdLife International to raise money and awareness of their “Forests of Hope project.” Its Foreword is done by Princess Takamado of Japan.

Yet another: Mammals of South Asia (Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, a Lynx Checklist. Then there is: FELIDS and Hyenas of the World by Jose R. Castello, with stunning photographs. Indians may be familiar with some of the species.

Jon informs, “The latest taxonomy and details as one would like to obtain, are outlined in Indian Mammala A Field Guide by Vivek Menon. Vivek is a familiar face. He had set up the Wildlife Trust of India to excel in several disciplines and became a proven expert in on-field conservation. Vivek presented a copy to Jon while they met in New York.”

Death of four elephants in Jaipur invites an ‘Elephantine Protest’; know the reasons here…!

EBNW Story

September 29, 2020, 3:44 PM

Recently, four captive elephants died in Hathi Gaon (Elephant Village) in Jaipur’s Amer locality. While the Press went gaga over the issue alleging that the elephants perished due to negligence and lack of adequate care during the lockdown. There are many questions been raised on authorities concerned and the forest department too as two elephants out of four had tested positive for TB in the year 2018.

These two elephants in question are (numbers 99 and 64 – Rani and Chanchal, respectively).

These elephants, testing TB positive in 2018, declared TB free in 3-5 months

Surprisingly, these elephants were declared TB-free by the Rajasthan Forest Department within 3-5 months, while actually it takes at least 6-12 months intensive treatment for any elephant to recover from TB. These facts are alarming! Neither the Forest and the Animal Husbandry Department, nor the owners are taking responsibility for these deaths.

They are owned privately flouting the schedule 1 status of Wildlife Protection Act

These elephants continue to be privately owned by elephant owners living in same village meant for elephants, despite the Schedule 1 status in the Wildlife Protection Act which clearly mentions of giving the rigorous protection to the endangered species and defines the harshest penalties for violation of the law under this Schedule. It says that absolute protection is accorded to species on this list.

A digital protest on October 1

Now, Help in Suffering and Angel Eyes have decided to lead a campaign to protest against callous treatment to animals by authorities. A national Digital Protest will be staged on October 1 in this context. The activists will be staging protests and candle light vigil-marches.

It is to demand: a habitat fit for Elephants, immediate sufficient food and clean drinking water to animals; quality veterinary care including TB tests to be done, and ample exercise provisions to be made. Also the sick and old elephants should be rehabilitated. They should retire and be allowed a life of dignity. They want no new elephants should be allowed to enter into Jaipur.

History! Nation celebrates 113rd birth anniversary of Bhagat Singh

EBNW Story

September 28, 2020, 1:04 PM

Bhagat Singh’s 113 birth anniversary is being celebrated all across the nation today and the young hero, who sacrificed his life at the age of 24, is being remembered. He was born on September 28, 1907 in Lyallpur district of undivided Punjab province which is now in Pakistan. His ancestral village Khatkar Kalan is in Punjab, India. His father’s name was Kishan Singh and mother was Vidhya Devi.

As the nation remembers this revolutionary leader who sacrificed his life in his youth for the sake of his nation, we bring out a few facts from this hero’s life whom the Nation is paying tributes on his birthday.

1. Bhagat Singh was a revolutionary freedom-fighter born in a politically active Sikh family in Lyallpur district of undivided Punjab province in pre-independence era.

2. His father and uncles were supporters of the Ghadar Party, while his grandfather Arjun Singh was a member of the Arya Samaj movement. Bhagat Singh, staying in the Dayanand Anglo Vedic High School, learnt the philosophy of the Arya Samaj movement. In this institute, he advocated the universal truths of the Vedas and continued opposing the obscurantism of Hindu religious practices.

3. Bhagat Singh, after a few events, lost his faith in non-violence and participated in the Young Revolutionary Movement, supporting the use of force in ousting Britishers from India.

4. In 1927 Bhagat Singh left his family home to avoid a marriage that was being arranged for him. He said ‘if I married in slave India, my bride shall only be death”. Later, he joined Hindustan Socialist Republican Association.

5. Along with Sukhdev, he planned to avenge the death of Lala Lajpat Rai and planned to kill the Superintendent of Police James Scott in Lahore. However, John Saunders, the Assistant Superintendent of Police was shot in a case of mistaken identity.

6. Despite being a Sikh by birth, he shaved his beard and cut his hair to avoid being recognised and was arrested on charges of the killing. However, he escaped from Lahore to Calcutta.

7. He and Batukeshwar Dutt, a year later, threw bombs in the Central Assembly Hall in Delhi, and screamed slogans like “Inquilab Zindabad!” When arrested, he did not resist his arrest.

8. During his interrogation, his involvement in John Saunders’ death came out. Surprisingly, he offered no defence at the time of his trial but propagated the idea if India’s freedom.

9. He was pronounced with death sentence October 7, 1930, which he heard with defiant courage. During his stay in jail, he staged a hunger strike demanding the policy of better treatment for prisoners from foreign origin.

10. Although, he was sentenced to be hanged on March 24, 1931, but it was brought forward by 11 hours to 23 March 1931 at 7:30 pm due to the popular rising sentiment in favour of the brave sons of India. Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were executed by hanging in Lahore jail.

11. They were cremated and their ashes immersed in the Sutlej river by the jail authorities.

12. The manner in which their trail was carried out and the sentence was announced aroused protests across India. Their patriotism inspired several people to join the freedom struggle.

Even today Bhagat Singh is celebrated in film and song as a patriotic son of India who sacrificed his life for the cause of her freedom.
