  • Mauritius Grants Special Break To Officials for Ram Mandir Inauguration Celebrations |

    New Delhi: In a significant move the Mauritius  government has approved a request by Hindu socio-cultural organizations to grant a two-hour break for officials on January 22, 2024. This decision allows devotees across the country to actively participate in prayers organized to mark the inauguration of the Ram Mandir in India. A Govt statement said, “Cabinet has agreed to the grant of a one-off special leave of two hours on Monday 22 January 2024 as from 1400 hours to public officers of Hindu faith, subject to exigencies of service, in the context of the inauguration of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir in India, which is a landmark event as it symbolises the return of Lord Ram in Ayodhya”

    The Council of Ministers, led by Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth, convened on Friday to consider the appeal from Hindu socio-cultural groups. Responding favorably, the government recognized the cultural significance of the Ram Mandir inauguration and acknowledged the importance of facilitating the participation of devotees in the celebrations.

    The Mauritius Sanatan dharma temples federation had written to PM Pravind Jugnauth to allot 2 hours off to the while working class people to follow the live telecast of the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya and to perform the rituals.

    Hinduism holds a prominent place in the religious landscape of Mauritius, with Hindus constituting approximately 48.5% of the population, according to 2011 statistics. Remarkably, Mauritius stands out as the only country in Africa where Hinduism is the most practiced religion. In terms of percentage, the nation ranks third globally in the prevalence of Hinduism, following Nepal and India.

    The roots of Hinduism in Mauritius trace back to the colonial era when Indians were brought as indentured labor to both French and British plantations. The migration wave, primarily from Indian states such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh, contributed to the establishment and growth of Hindu communities in Mauritius and neighboring islands of the Indian Ocean.

    As the Ram Mandir, a symbol of cultural and religious significance, is inaugurated in India, the decision to grant a special break aligns with the government’s commitment to respecting and promoting the diverse religious practices within the nation. The special break enables devotees to actively engage in prayers and celebrations, fostering a sense of unity and communal harmony.

  • Babar people will get angry, Rahul Gandhi will never visit Ramlala: Himanta Biswa Sarma

    Before the assembly elections in 5 states including Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, politics regarding Sanatan and Hindutva has intensified. Meanwhile, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who reached Surajpur in Chhattisgarh, has given a challenge to CM Bhupesh Baghel and former MP CM Kamal Nath. Sarma has asked him to take former Congress president Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi to Ram temple in Ayodhya.

    Himanta said in the rally organized in Surajpur, ‘Kamal Nath in Madhya Pradesh and Bhupesh Baghel in Chhattisgarh say that we are also Hindus. I challenge them that if they are Hindus then they should take Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi to the Ram temple in Ayodhya for once. Take it once.

    Sarma said, ‘Yesterday I told Madhya Pradesh to Kamal Nath, there is no use in saying that you are a Hindu. You take Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi to Ayodhya once to see Ramlala. If those people go to Ramlala then I will accept that you people are Hindus. But he will not go. That land was given to Babar. There was a wait for Modi ji. We kicked Babar out and the work of building Ram temple started. That land belonged to Ram only, never to Babar. Babar was the aggressor. Today, the work of building Ram temple has been going on for a year, have you ever heard that Rahul Gandhi has had darshan of Ramlala. Never, he will not go. Will go to another temple but will not go to Ramlala, because by doing so Babar people will get angry.

    Sarma fiercely attacked the Congress Party over the controversial statements given by some leaders regarding Sanatan Dharma. He said, ‘Just now Rahul Gandhi started the Ek India alliance. Ever since this alliance came, a conspiracy is being hatched to create an anti-Hindu atmosphere in the entire country. The son of the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu says that Hinduism is like dengue and malaria. Next day another of his ministers’ statement comes that Hindus are AIDS, not dengue and malaria. We asked the Congress party what politics is this, why are you doing this. Congress President Kharge’s son says that Hindu religion should be eliminated from the world. Will you destroy Hindus? Was Hinduism created by your father? Hinduism has been in India for 5 thousand years and will remain Hindu as long as there is moon and sun.
