Minority mindset in Hindustan (Actual program in Hindi) : Pushpendra Kulshreshtha

Prabodhan Manch Parle

By now our audience would be well aware of Prabodhan Manch Parle. Having decided to crowd source funds since the October of 2017, in the Financial Year 2018-19 we received contributions from 68 donors – in cumulative that number crossed 100. Our YouTube channel has more than 3400 subscribers and audience of 1500+. We are glad to announce that we are now on WhatsApp too: our text only number is 8369430186. So happy texting.

Stalls at the entrance

As in the past, we at Prabodhan Manch Parle strive to encourage various initiatives that we believe are synchronous to the objectives of the Manch and one of the ways of doing the same is by allowing such organisations to put up their stalls at the foyer of the hall during our lectures. This time we had two such organizations :

1. Olive Green & Koshur Krunch Cookies – a product from Kashmir mad by the youth and armed forces widows – who get trained in Pune and thereafter run this business – now with 6 bakeries in the valley.
2. World Hindu Economic Forum – who are holding their 8^th annual convention in Mumbai – returning to India as a venue after 5 years – from September 27-29 2019 at Grand Hyatt.

Minority mindset in Hindustan

The word secular crept into the Constitution of India during the dark days of Emergency in 1976 and ever since then India has witnessed politics over religion in many ways. India is diverse – in every sense – and in some states – so called minorities are 85% of the population. What an irony. In the light of the outstanding and overwhelming mandate for the government in 2014 & 2019 a parliamentarian commented ËVMs are not rigged – mindsets are being rigged”. What drives the mindset of such leaders and in some ways their followers too. Let’s listen to Pushpendraji.
