"Whenever I retire, will dedicate rest of my life to Vedas, Upanishads, and natural farming": Amit Shah
Shah made these remarks at the 'Sahkar Samvaad,' held in Delhi with women from Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and other workers associated with the cooperative sector.
'In front of us, there is a lot of work to be done on fertilisers. The cooperative sector should think about it. I have decided that whenever I retire, I will dedicate the rest of my life to Vedas, Upanishads, and natural farming,' Shah said.
Highlighting the importance of natural farming, he added, 'This natural farming has such a good scientific use that it gives so many benefits.'
Further, the office of Amit Shah highlighted how the cooperative sector has helped many farmers sell their products in the market. He gave an example of how some farmers are selling camel milk, which he said has medicinal properties.
'Miral Ben Rabari from Gujarat told Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri @AmitShah ji how farmers selling camel milk are profiting through cooperatives and how people are benefiting from the medicinal properties of camel milk,' it said in a post on X.
Earlier, on the occasion of the fourth foundation day of the Ministry of Cooperation, a grand Sakhkar Samelan was organised in Anand, known as the Milk Capital of India, in the presence of Amit Shah and Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel.
Inaugurating various development works of the world-renowned Amul Dairy, Shah called for expanding the cooperative movement nationwide based on the five Ps - People, PACS, Platform, Policy, and Prosperity, said a release from the Gujarat CMO.
Shah stated that the convergence of the fourth anniversary of the Ministry of Cooperation, the 60th anniversary of the National Dairy Development Board, and the 150th birth anniversary year of Sardar Patel has led to numerous initiatives in Anand through this cooperative conference. The Ministry of Cooperation has been working over the past four years on the foundation of the five Ps - People (service-oriented), PACS (strengthening Primary Agricultural Credit Societies), Platform (digital platform), Policy (new policies), and Prosperity (societal prosperity). Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the scope of cooperative activities has been expanding. (ANI)

Spotlight on UP as CM Yogimeets Modi, Shah & Nadda
Lucknow: Four photographs of Uttar Pradesh's deputy chief ministers meeting BJP brass in the past two weeks, followed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah and party chief JP Nadda on Saturday, have spiced up political discussions in the state. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Social media, too, is abuzz with speculations, in a bid to decode the essence of all these meetings – UP BJP chief Bhupendra Chaudhary and UP BJP organisation secretary Dharampal Singh had a brief meeting with Shah as he departed from here as a changeover airport while coming from Rudrapur in Uttarakhand after attending a programme. Of the four photographs, three were of deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya's meeting with Union home minister Amit Shah on July 8, with defence minister Rajnath Singh on July 9 and with Governor Anandiben Patel on July 11. The fourth photograph was that of deputy chief minister Brajesh Pathak also meeting Amit Shah, but on July 17. Even as politics behind such meetings of the Deputy CMs was being decoded by political pundits and party workers alike, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also went to Delhi on Saturday and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, home minister Amit Shah and BJP president JP Nadda. According to sources, the CM discussed UP's development projects with the PM. One thing appears certain is that the central leadership has now decided to take up the long-due issues around UP. Sources said that many developments were expected to take place both at the national as well as at the state level, like election of new national BJP chief, a new UP BJP president and reshuffles at the govt level both at the Centre and in the state. Discussions around UP-centric issues would have certainly come up during these meetings, sources said, adding that out of 37 BJP organisational states, new BJP chief have been finalised in at least 33, barring states like UP, Gujarat and Delhi. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The only question is, will these states or UP alone get a new BJP chief before the national president is elected? Sources said discussion was also possible around developments expected to come up after the UP BJP election like reshuffle and changes at organisational level. Once the national BJP chief is elected, there will be changes at the organisational level and since UP would go to assembly elections in 2027, who all from the state would make it to the national team would be interesting to see. Similarly, the key components of reshuffle will also be in focus during discussions. Discussions kicked off among BJP cadre and political observers on July 9 when the photograph of Maurya meeting Shah from Maurya's X handle went viral. Though there was nothing new in the photograph, it was the caption – which said that he had a discussion around repeating 2017 (victory) in 2027 – that made political pundits believe that he could be back as UP BJP chief. Since Maurya is a strong OBC face of the BJP and could be the BJP's bet to counter Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav's by and large successful PDA narrative, speculations around his comeback in the organisation looked prudent to many. Sources in the party, however, claimed that a decision on the new UP BJP chief was yet to be taken. The belief that something is cooking in Delhi around UP was further consolidated when about a week after Maurya's meeting, the other deputy chief minister Brajesh Pathak also met Shah in Delhi. It is certain that UP is back in BJP's focus as CM Yogi has also met Modi, Shah and Nadda. After Yogi, Bhupendra Chaudhary and Dharampal Saini are expected to meet BJP's top brass in Delhi on Sunday.

Fishers' body slams Govt for allowing deep-sea vessels
The All India Deep Sea Fishers' Association has come out against the Union Fisheries Ministry's decision to allow large vessels to operate in deep-sea areas beyond India's sovereign maritime zone. In a letter to Union Minister for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying and Panchayati Raj Rajeev Ranjan Singh, the association said the decision will impact the fortunes of small-scale traditional fishing vessels. Association chief Charles George said the decision to allow Indian-owned vessels in deep sea was part of the Blue economy policy of the Union Government unveiled in 2020. 'We request the Union government… revitalise small-scale and traditional fishermen through modernisation, cooperative strengthening and fair subsidies.'' Urging the government to reject the push for industrial deep-sea vessels, the association said such a move will only worsen ecological and economic crises. George said as per Central government data, 3,14,677 fishing vessels operate within India's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). 'However, sustainable fishing practices require only 93,287 vessels… Yet, we cannot outright claim that we have crossed sustainability thresholds because we have predominantly small-scale and traditional vessels.'' The body rejected the government stand that allowing large vessels for deep-sea fishing will help tap the hitherto untapped resources. 'Only 4 per cent of India's fish wealth lies in deep waters… due to scarcity in deep waters, these vessels eventually encroach into near-shore zones. Now, with 1.5 to 4 lakh-watt LED lights at the huge vessels attracting fish from coastal waters, the pressure on already strained near-shore ecosystem will intensify… devastate thousands of small-scale boats operating in deep waters, where 64,000 fishermen are working,'' said the association chief.

Revenge of the vernac! Time to mind your angrezi, mister
A controversy of sorts erupted recently after home minister Amit Shah's declaration at a book launch in Delhi that 'those who speak English will soon feel ashamed — the creation of such a society (in India) is not far away.' The comments attracted widespread criticism from the opposition, which accused Shah of pushing the RSS's agenda of cultural domination. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the BJP-RSS did not want underprivileged children to learn English and make progress to become equal. So, what does it mean when a powerful politician hints at shaming people for speaking the language of colonial masters? Is it an unpleasant yet necessary process of the much-needed linguistic decolonisation of our minds, as Shah claims? Credit: Chad Crowe Or is it clever political messaging meant for the vast majority of aspiring young men and women from small towns and villages who speak in the 'vernacular' and hold an irrational grudge against the English-speaking class living in metropolitan India? Just to contextualise, the etymology of the word 'vernacular' is interesting: it is derived from the Latin word 'verna', which means a slave born in his master's house. One of the other variants derived from 'verna' is 'vernaculum' — a low-bred person or proletarian. I was made aware of my 'vernac' identity many years ago when an acquaintance hurled the word at me as an insult. He spoke rather fluent English and kept referring to Hindi speakers as 'vernacs' — a derogatory term to describe those who speak in the vernacular. I, on the other hand, was trying to argue with him in Hindi — the language I am most comfortable in. But my combative antagonist was not willing to stoop to my level by answering in the language of the general hoi polloi. Around the same time, I was offered a job in an upmarket English-language news magazine. But my excitement came crashing down in the very first editorial meeting. While colleagues were rattling off story ideas in their clipped accents and perfect diction, peppering their pitch with public school jokes, I forgot my well-rehearsed lines when my turn came, and could only manage to mumble a few words in Hindi. Suddenly, a thick pall of oppressive silence fell in the editor's room. I could see embarrassed faces all around me; some colleagues looking down at the floor to avoid eye contact. The sacrilege had been committed. A yokel had sneaked into the 'Exclusive Club of the English-speaking Gentry' and defiled it with his lowbrow 'vernacular', or so I thought. That was my first embarrassing encounter with linguistic shame. Dr Lori Gallegos, professor of philosophy at Texas State University, defines linguistic shame as something that 'involves feelings of embarrassment, a sense of inferiority, and attitudes of self-reproach that arise in relation to the way one speaks.' She equates linguicism with other forms of discrimination, like racism and sexism. Apart from direct linguicism, which is still practised in some South Asian convents and public schools, there is another form of discrimination where 'people implicitly view those who do not speak English as uneducated or unintelligent.' PM Modi himself faces this kind of glottophobia regularly when he is mocked for mispronouncing an English word or phrase. Amit Shah's son, Jay Shah, is also trolled for his lack of fluency in English. Against this backdrop, Shah's unapologetic reverse linguicism — though one is not justifying it — becomes somewhat understandable. Ironically, Shah was echoing the sentiments expressed by the celebrated Kenyan-American Marxist writer Ngugi wa Thiong'o, who died last month. Thiong'o shunned the English language back in the 1970s and declared that in future, he would only write in his mother tongue, Gikuyu. It was his way of protesting against the imposition of the language of the colonial masters, which he described as a 'cultural bomb'. So, when the wider Sangh Parivar eulogises India's past, it may appear to be rejecting the effect of the 'cultural bomb' as described by Thiong'o, but there's a big difference between the two. While Thiong'o sees English and many other European languages as an assault on native African languages, the Hindutva narrative is more selective in its approach. Urdu, an out-and-out Indian language, is as much an anathema to them as English. A more troubling thought is how such rhetoric could encourage the right wing's vast army of foot soldiers — often drawn from under-educated and poor marginalised castes who resent the English-speaking elite. Some of them have taken on the role of cow vigilantes who patrol highways. This foot soldier could now potentially have another assignment as a bhasha rakshak dal (defenders of language) vigilante — going from room to room in Delhi Gymkhana or the swanky clubs in South Mumbai, or inspecting seminar halls in universities and the India International Centre to check if the speakers are ashamed enough while delivering a speech in English. Should that dystopia become a reality, will the angreziwallas be then forced to form secret societies where one could only whisper in a language that shall not be named?
