(1/9)#BirthAnniversary
25 दिसंबर 1861 को उत्तर प्रदेश के इलाहाबाद (अब प्रयागराज) में एक पंडित परिवार में मदन मोहन मालवीय का जन्म हुआ। उन्होंने अपना उपनाम ‘चतुर्वेदी’ से बदलकर ‘मालवीय’ रख लिया, क्योंकि उनके पूर्वज मालवा से इलाहाबाद आए थे।
(2/9)मालवीय ने भारत में शिक्षा के स्तर को ऊँचा उठाने और समाज में सुधार लाने की दिशा में अनेकों काम किए। क्योंकि कहीं न कहीं उन्हें पता था कि जब तक भारतीय, शिक्षित नहीं होंगे और उन्हें समझ नहीं होगी कि स्वतंत्रता के असल मायने क्या हैं?
(3/9)तब तक भारतीय स्वतंत्रता संग्राम को वह गति नहीं मिलेगी, जो मिलनी चाहिए। इसके अलावा, उनकी सोच यह भी थी कि उन्हें युवाओं को स्वतंत्र भारत के लिए तैयार करना है, ताकि उन्हें पता हो कि उन्हें कैसे अपने देश के सर्वांगीण विकास में साथ देना है।

Her work to revive the languishing arts & crafts of the people by travelling in the remotest parts of the country and reaching out to the largest segment of people sustained our traditions and skills.

2/8. The money from the Raj payroll was spent on struggling farmers and workers in a year of great hunger. “It is unjust to say we looted anything,” he complained. “What the British had looted from us Indians, we brought a small part of that back to our people.”

(1/6)गुरबक्श सिंह ढिल्लों का जन्म 18 मार्च 1914 को पंजाब के एक गाँव में हुआ। ढिल्लों बचपन से ही दिमाग से तेज थे, पढ़ने-लिखने में उन्हें काफी रूचि थी। शुरुआत में वह स्पष्ट नहीं थे कि उन्हें आगे क्या करना है। उनका पूरा ध्यान बस ज्यादा से ज्यादा पढ़ने पर था।
(2/6)इसी बीच, एक दिन किसी ने उन्हें सेना में भर्ती होने की सलाह दी! फिर क्या था, उनके दिल में यह बात घर कर गयी और उनके जीवन का लक्ष्य सेना में भर्ती होना बन गया।

साल 1936 के आसपास भारतीय सेना से उन्हें बुलावा आया। वह 14वीं पंजाब रेजिमेंट की प्रथम बटालियन का हिस्सा बनाए गए।
(3/6)उन्होंने अपनी कार्यशैली से सीनियर्स को काफी प्रभावित किया। आगे चलकर उन्हें द्वितीय विश्वयुद्ध में हिस्सा लेने का मौका मिला, इस जंग में उन्होंने विरोधियों को मुंहतोड़ जवाब दिया था।

हालांकि, अंत में वह जापान द्वारा युद्धबन्दी बना लिये गये थे।

"Prepare to stand up and fight! Calling all parents with young children the time we've been fearing is now upon us. Have a look at this bs propaganda piece from the CBC."
They are still trying to drive this same narrative! Language like safe and effective and benefits outweigh the risks!?! Even saying they have been thoroughly examined???
The initial trials for adults still won't be concluded until 2023 so where the hell do they think this data comes from to support such vial claims! Who made these decisions? And based on what evidence?

In light of NTU's long overdue decision of approving the text on the plaque in commemoration of its late professor & Taiwan's democracy activist Chen Wen-chen (陳文成), who died under mysterious circumstances in 1981 during White Terror, here's a long and heart-wrenching thread.
Chen was born in the family of 8 kids in Taipei in 1950, studious like most students back in those time in Taiwan, he graduated NTU and left for US in '75 to UMich (Go Blue!), earning both a master and a PhD in statistics under just 3 years. He soon joined the faculty at CMU.
At school, he was known to have criticized the KMT-led government and advocated for Taiwan independence, raising funds to help those imprisoned in the wake of the Kaohsiung Incident as well as in support for Formosa Magazine, which opposed the KMT's one-party rule.
