Atal Bihari Vajpayee Biography and Profile

Atal Bihari (Shri Vajpayee , Atal Bihari Vajpayee) was Prime Minister of India from May 16-31, 1996, and then again from March 19, 1998 to May 13, 2004. With his swearing-in as Prime Minister after the parliamentary election of October 1999, he became the first and only person since Jawaharlal Nehru to occupy the office of the Prime Minister of India through three successive Lok Sabhas. Shri Vajpayee was the first Prime Minister since Smt. Indira Gandhi to lead his party to victory in successive elections.

Born on December 25, 1924, in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh to Shri Krishna Bihari Vajpayee and Smt. Krishna Devi, Shri Vajpayee brings with him a long parliamentary experience spanning over four decades. He has been a Member of Parliament since 1957. He was elected to the 5th, 6th and 7th Lok Sabha and again to the 10th, 11th 12th and 13th Lok Sabha and to Rajya Sabha in 1962 and 1986. In 2004, he was to Parliament from Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh for the fifth time consecutively. He is the only parliamentarian elected from four different States at different times – UP, Gujarat, MP and Delhi. His legacy as Prime Minister is a rich one that is remembered and cherished even a decade after his term ended. It included the Pokhran nuclear tests, astute and wise economic policies that laid the foundations of the longest period of sustained growth in independent Indian history, massive infrastructure projects such as those related to development of national highways and the Golden Quadrilateral. Few Indian Prime Ministers have left such a dramatic impact on society.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee

Educated at Victoria College (now Laxmibai College), Gwalior and DAV College, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, Shri Vajpayee holds an M.A (Political Science) degree and has many literary, artistic and scientific accomplishments to his credit. He edited Rashtradharma (a Hindi monthly), Panchjanya (a Hindi weekly) and the dailies Swadesh and Veer Arjun. His published works include “Meri Sansadiya Yatra” (in four volumes), “Meri Ikkyavan Kavitayen”, “Sankalp Kaal”, “Shakti-se-Shanti”, “Four Decades in Parliament” (speeches in three volumes), 1957-95, “Lok Sabha Mein Atalji” (a collection of speeches); Mrityu Ya Hatya”, “Amar Balidan”, “Kaidi Kaviraj Ki Kundalian” (a collection of poems written in jail during Emergency); “New Dimensions of India’s Foreign Policy” (a collection of speeches delivered as External Affairs Minister during 1977-79); “Jan Sangh Aur Mussalman”; “Sansad Mein Teen Dashak” (Hindi) (speeches in Parliament, 1957-1992, three volumes); and “Amar Aag Hai” (a collection of poems, 1994).

Shri Vajpayee has participated in various social and cultural activities. He has been a Member of the National Integration Council since 1961. Some of his other associations include – (i) President, All India Station Masters and Assistant Station Masters Association (1965-70); (ii) Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Smarak Samiti (1968-84); (iii) Deen Dayal Dham, Farah, Mathura, U.P; and (iv) Janmabhomi Smarak Samiti, 1969 onwards.

Founder-member of the erstwhile Jana Sangh (1951), President, Bharatiya Jana Sangh (1968-1973), leader of the Jana Sangh parliamentary party (1955-1977) and a founder-member of the Janata Party (1977-1980), Shri Vajpayee was President, BJP (1980-1986) and the leader of BJP parliamentary party during 1980-1984, 1986 and 1993-1996. He was Leader of the Opposition throughout the term of the 11th Lok Sabha. Earlier, he was India’s External Affairs Minister in the Morarji Desai Government from March 24, 1977 ,to July 28, 1979.

Widely respected within the country and abroad as a statesman of the genre of Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, Shri Vajpayee’s 1998-99 stint as Prime Minister has been characterised as ‘one year of courage of conviction’. It was during this period that India entered a select group of nations following a series of successful nuclear tests at Pokhran in May 1998. The bus journey to Pakistan in February 1999 was widely acclaimed for starting a new era of negotiations to resolve the outstanding problems of the sub-continent. India’s honesty made an impact on the world community. Later, when this gesture of friendship turned out to be a betrayal of faith in Kargil, Shri Vajpayee was also hailed for his successful handling of the situation in repulsing back the intruders from the Indian soil.

It was during Shri Vajpayee’s 1998-99 tenure that despite a global recession, India achieved 5.8 per cent GDP growth, which was higher than the previous year. Higher agricultural production and increase in foreign exchange reserves during this period were indicative of a forward-looking economy responding to the needs of the people. “We must grow faster. We simply have no other alternative” has been Shri Vajpayee’s slogan focusing particularly on economic empowerment of the rural poor. The bold decisions taken by his Government for strengthening rural economy, building a strong infrastructure and revitalising human development programmes, fully demonstrated his Government’s commitment to a strong and self-reliant nation to meet the challenges of the next millennium to make India an economic power in the 21st century. Speaking from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the 52nd Independence Day, he had said, “I have a vision of India: an India free of hunger and fear, an India free of illiteracy and want.”

Shri Vajpayee has served on a number of important Committees of Parliament. He was Chairman, Committee on Government Assurances (1966-67); Chairman, Public Accounts Committee (1967-70); Member, General Purposes Committee (1986); Member, House Committee and Member, Business Advisory Committee, Rajya Sabha (1988-90); Chairman, Committee on Petitions, Rajya Sabha (1990-91); Chairman, Public Accounts Committee, Lok Sabha (1991-93); Chairman, Standing Committee on External Affairs (1993-96).

Shri Vajpayee participated in the freedom struggle and went to jail in 1942. He was detained during Emergency in 1975-77.

Widely travelled, Shri Vajpayee has been taking a keen interest in international affairs, uplift of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, women and child welfare. Some of his travels abroad include visits such as – Member, Parliamentary Goodwill Mission to East Africa, 1965; Parliamentary Delegation to Australia, 1967; European Parliament, 1983; Canada, 1987; Indian delegation to Commonwealth Parliamentary Association meetings held in Canada, 1966 and 1994, Zambia, 1980, Isle of Man 1984, Indian delegation to Inter-Parliamentary Union Conference, Japan, 1974; Sri Lanka, 1975; Switzerland, 1984; Indian Delegation to the UN General Assembly, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994; Leader, Indian Delegation to the Human Rights Commission Conference, Geneva, 1993.

Shri Vajpayee was conferred Padma Vibhushan in 1992 in recognition of his services to the nation. He was also conferred the Lokmanya Tilak Puruskar and the Bharat Ratna Pt. Govind Ballabh Pant Award for the Best Parliamentarian, both in 1994. Earlier, the Kanpur University honoured him with an Honorary Doctorate of Philosophy in 1993.

Well known and respected for his love for poetry and as an eloquent speaker, Shri Vajpayee is known to be a voracious reader. He is fond of Indian music and dance.

5 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR TAJ MAHAL TOUR

No matter how eloquent one is when it comes to describe visuals into words, standing in the awe of the Taj Mahal casts such a spell that you end up being completely speechless.

One of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal was commissioned by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the loving memory of his wife Mumtaz. In fact, the marble marvel was built on the tomb of Mumtaz. This romantic story makes your Taj Mahal tour even more special.

It took around 20,000 workers and more than 22 years to finish this majestic structure that entices travellers from around the world.

WHERE IS TAJ MAHAL

Caressed by the Yamuna River, the Taj Mahal is situated in Agra. The city is around 200km from Delhi and is one of the major stops in the Golden Triangle tour of India. Those who come to India for the first time often pick this heritage tour package.

BEST TIME TO VISIT

If you are thinking about the time of the day that’s best for visiting the Taj Mahal, get up early and head there before the sunrise. The rising sun’s golden glow glistens off the minars and presents a spectacular sight. The scene is completely different at sunset as there is too many visitors and the experience is definitely not as personal and enjoyable.

If you’re thinking about what time of the year you should go to India to check out this piece of wonder, the months between November and February are the best.

HOW TO GET THERE

As Agra is quite close to Delhi, visiting the Taj Mahal is just a 3–4 hours drive. You can see the Taj, spend the day at Agra and return to Delhi by the night. The Yamuna Expressway from Delhi is one of the finest roads in India and many buses and private cars ply between Delhi and Agra.

You can also take the morning train from Delhi to the Agra Cantt railway station. There are many trains that connect the two cities. The fastest one (also cleaner than other trains) being the super-fast Shatabdi Express, which connects Rajasthan, Delhi, Agra and Varanasi.

The Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Airport is the city airport for Agra. Daily flights fly to and from all major cities in India.

WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN’T CARRY INSIDE

Being one of the wonders of the world comes with some measures of security. There are checkpoints at the entrances and all bags are scanned and visitors are searched with metal detectors. Large bags are not allowed inside and only purses and small bags are allowed only if authorities deem fit. One can only carry one cell phone, a camera (chargeable), and one bottle per person. No edibles, tobacco products, matches, lighters, phone chargers, headphones, iPads, torches, knives, or camera tripods are allowed inside. There is a luggage storage facility at the entry gate.

FESTIVALS DEDICATED TO THE TAJ MAHAL

Each year from 18th to 27th February, the Taj Mahotsav takes place. There are arts and crafts exhibitions, cultural events, recreational performances of the Mughal Era and the inaugural procession with elephants, camels, drummers and participants from across the country.

WHAT MAY COME IN YOUR WAY

In one word — the crowd! The city of Agra is quite welcoming and friendly and the crowded roads are not an issue. However, the overwhelming number of visitors crowd up the Taj Mahal except for the early hours. Be aware of beggars and touts. Don’t indulge in discount offers or free taxi rides. Only consult with government-authorized tour guides and sellers.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO SKIP THE CROWD

Witnessing the Taj Mahal at sunrise or sunsets can be done easily from the other side of the river at Mehtab Bagh, a 25-acre Mughal garden complex opposite the white monument. You may also find boatmen who take visitors along the river to see the Taj Mahal from a unique point of view.

Some luxury hotels on the southern side of the Taj Mahal offer a great view of the monument from their rooms or rooftops.

If you are looking for a unique experience of the Taj Mahal or the city of Agra, feel free to get in touch with us. We’d be glad to offer you an exclusive Taj Mahal tour customized to your convenience.

RIP Atal Bihari Vajpayee

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru did not believe in astrology or any sort of future predictions. But as the Prime Minister of India, Nehru had introduced Atal Bihari Vajpayee during the 1950s to a foreign dignitary as the future prime minister of the country. Vajpayee was then a first-time Member of Parliament and that too from a political party that was created to build an alternative political ideology as opposed to the Congress of Pandit Nehru. Nearly 40 years later, Vajpayee proved Nehru true and after two failed attempts, he led the first non-Congress government at the Centre to complete its full tenure. Vajpayee led an uneasy coalition of nearly two dozen parties with great poise for six years between 1998 and 2004. Many called him the greatest prime minister that India ever had with some other giving Pandit Nehru a slight edge over Vajpayee. Vajpayee was certainly the tallest leader from the RSS-BJP family Born to Krishna Devi and Krishna Bihari Vajpayee in Gwalior district of Madhya Pradesh on December 25, 1924, Atal Bihari Vajpayee became an activist during his teenage. His first ideological inclination was towards Communism. He was an active Communist teenager in the Madhya Pradesh of the 1930s, when Mahatma Gandhi was leading a formidable fight against the British colonial power. When Mahatma Gandhi launched the Quit India Movement in 1942, Vajpayee had joined the agitation along with his elder brother Prem. Both were arrested and jailed. Around this time, Vajpayee was a member of the Arya Samaj's youth wing, Arya Kumar Sabha, of which he was the general secretary. After he was released from jail, Vajpayee, influenced by Babasaheb Apte, had turned towards the RSS. Vajpayee became a full member or pracharak of the RSS in 1947, the year India won Independence following a bloody Partition of the country. He wrote an emotionally charged poem on the Partition mixed Independence - 15 August Ki Pukaar (Call of 15 August). In the poem, Vajpayee gave a call for the reunification of the country and condemned violence on both sides of the newly carved border in the name of religion. For years, Vajpayee - an acclaimed poet - used to recite this poem on stage. in 1948, the RSS was banned following the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. This prompted the RSS to dish out a group of committed members for politics. Vajpayee was a journalist at the time and was working for the RSS-linked newspapers. In 1951, Vajpayee was among the RSS members who were tasked with assisting Deen Dayal Upadhyay and Syama Prasad Mookerjee to form the Bharatiya Jan Sangh, the precursor to the Bharatiya Janata Party. Vajpayee was the secretary to Syama Prasad Mookerjee, when the latter set out for Srinagar from New Delhi to protest the permit system for entry into Kashmir. Mookerjee was arrested as he attempted to enter Kashmir "illegally" and later died under mysterious condition. Vajpayee had gone to see off Mookerjee at the Delhi railway station. The impression that Vajpayee carried from the series of incidents that unfolded later formed his Kashmir policy, which is often described as "Insaaniyat, Jamhooriyat, Kashmiriyat" or "humanity, democracy and preservation of Kashmiri culture". Vajpayee entered the Lok Sabha as a member for the first time in 1957. He went on to win nine more Lok Sabha elections after that. He was the foreign minister in the first non-Congress government, formed in post-Emergency years. However, the 1977-Janata Party experiment collapsed within three years and the Congress made a comeback in 1980 under Indira Gandhi. After the Janata Party broke away, the BJS reorganised itself as the BJP in 1980. Vajpayee became its founder president. In 1984, the BJP suffered a massive defeat under Vajpayee's leadership. Riding on a sympathy wave in the aftermath of the assassination of Indira Gandhi, the Congress had swept the Lok Sabha elections winning more than 410 seats. The BJP was reduced to just two seats. Vajpayee offered to resign. The loss under Vajpayee was to be overturned by his long-standing political companion in the RSS and the BJP - Lal Krishna Advani, who rode on a Toyota rath to mobilise Hindutva opinion for the construction of a Ram temple at Ayodhya. In 1989, the BJP emerged as the kingmaker and seven years later, Vajpayee became the "king" for 13 days. The BJP was the single-largest party in the 1996 elections but could not get alliance partners to stay in power. Learning from the 1996-experience, Vajpayee accumulated allies - from almost every state in the country. He became the prime minister for a second time in 1998 leading a big coalition - the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). But a year later, he failed to win a floor test by the narrowest possible margin - one vote - after J Jayalalithaa's AIADMK withdrew its support to the alliance. Fresh elections were held and the Vajpayee-led NDA won 303 seats in 1999. He became the first non-Congress prime minister - and also the first PM outside the Nehru-Gandhi family - to complete five years in office. His tenure as the prime minister was eventful. The Vajpayee government decided to declare to the world India's nuclear capabilities with Pokhran-II in 1998. He made attempts to establish peace with Pakistan by travelling in a bus to Lahore. However, his peace initiatives were met with Pakistani incursions that led to the Kargil war in 1999. The war caused heavy losses for Pakistan, which then turned to the US seeking its help to bring an end to the military conflict. The Kargil misadventure by Pakistan did not deter Vajpayee from inviting the man, who is held responsible for it, for peace talks. The then Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf was invited to the Agra Summit, which failed for reasons not publicly known. But Vajpayee succeeded in getting a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan signed in 2003. It still forms the bottomline of peace between India and Pakistan. For his political and diplomatic acumen, Vajpayee was rightly called the "Great Connector". He stitched political parties of all hues and kept them together. As foreign minister, he opened channels of communications with China and the Middle East. As prime minister, Vajpayee not only brought India and Pakistan closer despite a military conflict, but also established closer connect among the SAARC nations. He will be remembered as a great communicator and connector. #MohnishAhluwaliaNotes

Mughalsarai To Be Renamed As Deen Dayal Upadhyay Railway Station

The Union home ministry okayed a proposal to rename Mughalsarai railway station in Uttar Pradesh after Bharatiya Jana Sangh leader Deendayal Upadhyaya. As per the approved proposal, the junction will now be rechristened ‘Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Nagar station‘. Upadhyaya was found dead under mysterious circumstances on a railway platform at Mughalsarai, Uttar Pradesh, in 1968. The proposal to rename Mughalsarai junction originated from the Yogi Adityanath government in UP. It had sent the file to the ministry of railways for approval, which then forwarded it for home ministry‘s clearance. Minister of state for home Hansraj Gangaram Ahir had signed the relevant file. Mughalsarai junction, the fourth busiest railway station in the country, is located on the main Howrah-Delhi Grand Chord line. Mughalsarai is not the only railway station whose name has been changed in recent times. The iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus saw the word “Maharaj” added to its name this year. Here is a list of some of the railway stations that have been renamed recently by the government: 1) Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus : The name of the famous Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai was recently changed to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus this year by Central Railways. The code initials of the train stations, CSTM, remains same as earlier. The move came after a resolution was adopted unanimously by the Maharashtra Assembly to add the word “Maharaj” in the original title. 2) Elphinstone Road : The Western Railways this year rechristened Elphinstone Road Station in Mumbai to Prabhadevi. The move came days after CST was renamed as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus by Central Railways. The station was earlier named after former Governor of Bombay Presidency Lord Elphinstone. The new name was given in honour of a local deity . More about this : http://ift.tt/2vDhI4I
