OBCs' Empowerment: 'The OBCs Uprising' Garners Tremendous Response; Narahari's Shakari-Vikramaditya' Also Forthcoming
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], July 15: A new book, 'The OBCs Uprising: A New Narrative on Social Justice and Political Representation', co-authored by Principal Secretary, Public Health Engineering Dept, Madhya Pradesh, P. Narahari, IAS, and High Court advocate Pruthviraj Singh, was recently launched. This work advocates for social justice and political representation for the Other Backwards Classes (OBCs) in India, stemming from five years of intensive research and collaboration.
'The OBCs Uprising' was launched recently and has since received an overwhelming response from readers. Approximately 3500 copies have already been sold in the Telugu language, and there is growing interest in the English version as well. The publisher has announced that the book will soon be made available in all major bookstores across India.
The book delves deeply into the challenges faced by OBCs in the past and present. Divided into nine chapters, it covers crucial topics such as the impact of colonial policies, the evolution of reservation politics, and legal analyses of various Supreme Court verdicts and policy developments. A key feature of the book is the "OBC Manifesto," a detailed policy charter outlining specific demands for community representation, education, and economic empowerment.
The book was launched by the 'Mahagatha' platform. Mahagatha believes that this book will serve as a powerful tool for social awareness and transformation, aligning with their mission to integrate Vedic wisdom with contemporary issues.
The authors have a clear vision for this work. P. Narahari stated, "This book is a culmination of five years of extensive research and collaboration, articulating our commitment to a comprehensive exploration of the OBC narrative." Co-author Pruthviraj Singh added, "We believe this book is a call to action--a meticulously crafted tool to rectify historical injustices and envision a truly inclusive future for India."
In related news, P. Narahari and spiritual philosopher Devrishi's much-anticipated book, 'Shakari - Vikramaditya', is also set to be released soon. This book is a historical saga based on the life and valor of the great Indian emperor Vikramaditya. This book is also being published by 'Mahagatha' and will be available shortly.

Banakacherla violates law, Icchampally beneficial for both States: Expert
HYDERABAD: Former adviser to Ministry of Jal Shakti and former chairman of the Task Force on Interlinking of Rivers Sriram Vedire has said that the Polavaram-Banakacherla project, proposed by the Andhra Pradesh government, was against the law of the land. He suggested that the Icchampally project, as proposed under interlinking of rivers, would be beneficial for both the states. At a 'Meet the Press' programme organised by Kappara Prasad Rao of Telangana Journalists Union on 'Godavari Waters: Facts and Figures — A Way Forward for Telugu States' here on Tuesday, Sriram said that the AP government proposed the Polavaram-Banakacherla project to utilise floodwaters. He, however, said that there was no concept of utilising floodwaters in the country till date. 'AP is saying that it will utilise floodwaters for Banakacherla. Floodwater is a mirage. It is not a fact. It is illusionary. The Central Water Commission (CWC) did not study floodwaters. There is no official word or sanctity given by the CWC to the concept of floodwaters in the country. The states have no right to plan projects on floodwaters,' he said. He recalled that nearly 50 per cent of the catchment area of Godavari was in Maharashtra. There would be no end if all the seven co-basin states started constructing projects based on floodwaters, he said. As per the available water, according to the 75 per cent dependability, AP had no right to construct the Banakacherla project, he said and recalled that the CWC sought the views of all the seven stakeholder states, besides the opinions of Polavaram Project Authority and Godavari River Management Board. Sriram said that there are no surplus waters at 75% dependability as clearly reported by the CWC and therefore no project is possible on surplus waters. The utilisation of average waters is not possible as per the law of the land. It is difficult to apportion the average waters amongst the co-basin states as projects with combination of 75% dependability and average flows will not blend together, he said. Based on these facts, the National Water Development Agency (NWDA) proposed the Godavari-Cauvery (G-C) link project at Icchampally by proposing to utilise the unutilised assured waters (at 75% dependability) of Chhattisgarh state. Going with this link plan is the best possible way for the states of Telangana and AP, Sriram said. This link project utilises the unutilised waters of Chhattisgarh and it would not touch the assured allocated waters of both the Telugu states. The responsibility to convince Chhattisgarh lies with the Central government. He said around 90% funding to this project is likely to come from the Centre and the remaining 10% from the beneficiary states. 'Through this link project, both Telangana and AP can utilise around 100 tmcft each,' Sriram added.

CM Chandrababu Naidu defends learning Hindi, hails former PM PV Narasimha Rao
VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has defended learning Hindi language. 'While today we are all talking about why we should learn Hindi, former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao mastered 17 languages embodying India's rich cultural diversity,' he said. Naidu said this aspect of Rao's life serves as an inspiration in today's context, where language has increasingly become a subject of debate. He didn't just learn Hindi but other languages too, and that's how he became a great man, Naidu said while delivering a lecture on 'The Life and Legacy of PV Narasimha Rao' at the Prime Ministers Museum and Library in New Delhi on Tuesday. The Chief Minister paid rich tributes to the former Prime Minister praising his intellect, reformist zeal, and his profound contributions to India's political and economic landscape. He recalled the warm and respectful relationship between himself and Rao. 'I had a very good equation with him, and knew him very well. The Telugu community is proud of him. He was a true Telugu Bidda who reshaped the destiny of our great nation,' he said.

Chinta flays Bandi Sanjay for ‘raking up' religious issues
Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Dr Chinta Mohan criticised Union Minister of State Bandi Sanjay Kumar for racking up religious issue during his recent visit to Tirumala for darshan. Speaking to the media here on Tuesday, he said the BJP leader seems to have no issues except creating communal rift by unnecessarily racking up other religions. Taking a jibe at Sanjay Kumar's allegation that 1,000 non-Hindus were working in TTD, he said it is not 1,000 but 5,000 other religious people working in Tirumala hills. 'Who are they, what they are doing, do you know the Union Minister ' he questioned the Union Minister and added that they all are menial jobs like cleaning toilets. For the sake of feeding their families and getting a square meal they were doing these works of cleaning filth which no other ready to do. 'Will the BJP leader Sanjay Kumar get ready to bring 5,000 people from his Telangana for cleaning toilets and remove filth for a petty wage of Rs 10,000 per month,' he questioned. The Congress leader also alleged that caste discrimination was still continuing in Tirumala. Elaborating, he said not even a single officer working in Tirumala temple belongs to SC community while BCs also were meted out raw deal in the allotment of shops at Tirumala. 'The TDP and its chief Chandrababu Naidu who is posing as champion of BCs should disclose the priority his government has given to OBCs in TTD,' the senior Congress leader asked.
