At the age of 20, Sindhutai was left for the dead by her husband with a 17-day-old girl child who she had given birth to in a cow shed. She walked to her parent’s house for shelter, but her family turned her away. ⁠
⁠
#PadmaShri #HeroesOfHumanity #GirlChildDay
With nowhere else to go and a baby to feed, Sindhutai started begging in trains and on the streets in order to survive. Fearing for her safety and that of her daughter, she spent her nights in cemeteries and cowsheds.⁠
It was during these difficult times that Sindhutai began spending time with orphaned children & realized how difficult life was for them. ⁠
⁠
She adopted around a dozen orphans & took on the responsibility of keeping them clothed & fed,even if it meant begging for longer hours.

#DeathAnniversary⁠
In 1988, a song that played on Doordarshan right after the PM's Independence Day address from Red Fort became the anthem for national unity.⁠
And decades later, ‘Mile Sur Mera Tumhara' lives on in the hearts of every Indian—even those who were born well after the song was telecast.⁠
Produced by ace filmmaker Kailash Surendranath, the song features popular celebrities such as Kamal Haasan, Hema Malini, Sharmila Tagore, and Lata Mangeshkar, among others.⁠
⁠
Here are some facts you probably didn't know about this iconic song:⁠

During a speech on January 25, 1966, the father of India's space programme, Vikram Sarabhai, said: ⁠
⁠
#ThisDayInHistory #DeathAnniversary #HomiBhabha⁠
“Those of us who had personal contact with Bhabha know that science was an important part of life,but that he was a complete man in the best sense of the term as we understand today.He represented the best in the modern educated world,the best of science, the best of the arts.”⁠
There is perhaps no better description for the father of India's nuclear programme, who was also a painter, a botanist, and an avid classical music enthusiast. ⁠
⁠
Homi Bhabha’s greatest legacy is, perhaps, the institutions he created.

Did you know #BharatRatna #BhimsenJoshi loved automobiles with all his heart?

“Had I not been a classical singer, I would have loved to spend my entire life in a garage fine-tuning a Fiat or a Maruti,” was reportedly his oft-repeated line.
On a journey from Mumbai to Pune once, Bhimsen regaled a taxi driver with his music. Oblivious to his popularity, the driver wondered if Bhimsen would know how to fix an engine in case of an emergency.
To his surprise, Bhimsen helped the taxi driver fix the engine when the car later broke down in the middle of the journey.

The legendary singer was also passionate about long drives.

(1/5) In India, 88 million people are deprived of safe drinking water owing to various reasons such as dry climatic conditions and groundwater contamination or depletion.
(2/5) Madhu Vajrakarur, an electrical engineering student from Anantapur district in Andhra Pradesh, along with his family were also without access to a continuous supply of electricity or clean drinking water.
But this young innovator wasn’t going to sit and watch!
(3/5) He came up with an unconventional solution. Madhu designed a wind turbine behind his house, which produces both electricity and drinking water.
Today, the wind turbine provides his family with 80 to 100 litres of water every day.

"Yesterday, I could get my mom here in Singapore to show her this beautiful part of the world, and right today, I have decided to take her to show my office & city area.

It's hard to express the emotions and happiness that she is feeling. Imagine the lady that has spent her whole life in the village and did not even see the aeroplane from a close angle.
Yes, she became the first one from her generation to travel abroad and the second lady from my village (Of course first one is my wife). This is a pretty special moment for my family and me!

The only thing that hurts me is that I wish my dad was around to experience this!
