(One World One Humanity/ ANI Video Grab) NEW DELHI: Nearly three decades after one of the world’s deadliest aviation disasters, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat returned to the memory of the Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision in Haryana.He recalled the chaos that followed the crash. He spoke of injured passengers, bodies that had to be recovered and families arriving from far away, searching for their loved ones and trying to identify those they had lost. And he remembered the RSS volunteers who, according to him, reached the site and began helping.They treated the injured. They helped recover the dead. They assisted relatives who arrived later. They also helped arrange funeral rites.Many of the victims were Muslims. But Bhagwat said that was never a consideration for the volunteers who were serving them.Speaking at the “One World One Humanity” event in New York on Saturday, Bhagwat recalled the tragedy as an example of what he described as the RSS’s philosophy of unconditional humanitarian service.”Two planes collided over Haryana, which is part of Bharat, over the place named Dadri. Both were from Arab countries. Most of the passengers were Muslims. After that collision, our Swayamsevaks reached there first, and they served. Served in treating the injured… Recovering their bodies, arranging for the funeral rites when their relatives come, helping them in identifying. We never thought at that time that these were Muslims,” said the RSS Chief.The disaster took place on November 12, 1996. A Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 747 and a Kazakhstan Airlines Ilyushin Il-76 collided in the skies over Charkhi Dadri, Haryana.There were no survivors.All 349 people aboard the two aircraft were killed. The crash became the deadliest mid-air collision in aviation history.For Bhagwat, the tragedy was not only about the terrible loss of life. It was also about what happened after the aircraft came down.He recalled a moment when grief and devastation had stripped away every distinction between people. Those at the crash site needed help. Families needed answers. The dead needed dignity.Bhagwat said the volunteers did not ask who the victims were before helping them.He also said the RSS did not publicise such work because it did not expect anything in return.”The prominent working organisation was RSS. We could do this because we are not in politics. And we don’t go on making these things famous because we don’t want anything from this. No return… In Sangha, we only give. We don’t want anything. That is why in publicity matters, we are way behind.”The RSS chief was speaking in New York as he began a three-nation global outreach tour covering the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The visit has been organised as part of the organisation’s centenary year celebrations, following invitations from overseas local organisations.Bhagwat also used the occasion to speak about perceptions of the RSS. He said the organisation was often viewed through narratives that, in his view, did not reflect its work on the ground.”There are many perceptions created by wrong narratives. But when you come and see us from inside, all those will be disbelieved in the day.”He then broadened his argument beyond the RSS and its work during disasters. He spoke about the kind of social change he believes is necessary to create greater unity.Bhagwat said political systems alone could not bring about such change. In a democracy, he argued, political leaders ultimately respond to public opinion. The first step, therefore, had to be taken within society itself.”Politics today, especially in a democracy, depends on the public view. If there is public opinion, then no politician will dare to go against it. Therefore, I think after taking a common resolve today, we have to act in these societies, and we have to act first locally.”He argued that social harmony could not be built simply by gaining political power. It had to grow from everyday interactions and acts of service.For Bhagwat, the idea was rooted in what he described as the traditional thought of Bharat, where the unity of humanity is placed above individual interests.”This is the traditional thought of Bharat–unity of humanity. All our leaders, at any point in time, have emphasised that too. After independence, we got the constitution, which emphasises this, but that is not happening. Because these things do not happen through politics. I’m sorry to say, but the fact is, politics has now become a game of self-interest. And where there is me and I, there is no solution. We and ours are the solution. So our experience in Bharat is that we have to start with society.”He called for such efforts to begin locally. Small pockets of people working together, he said, could eventually become larger networks of service and unity.”Whatever we decide to do today, we should start in our own country and create pockets of such selfless service, such an atmosphere of unity, and then this dialogue should continue. Through this dialogue, we should connect them, and then we should grow.”Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesNearly 30 years after the Charkhi Dadri crash, the scale of the disaster remains difficult to comprehend. Hundreds of lives were lost in a matter of moments.But Bhagwat chose to remember what happened in the aftermath.Amid the wreckage, he said, volunteers came forward to help people they did not know. They treated the injured. They recovered bodies. They helped families search for answers.And, in his telling of that day, they did so without first asking whether the person in front of them was Hindu or Muslim.That memory formed the emotional centre of Bhagwat’s message in New York: that in moments of profound human suffering, service can begin before identity does.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

NEW DELHI: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday stepped up the Congress’ attack on the BJP over the alleged “shuddhikaran” of a rally venue in Uttarakhand’s Haldwani, demanding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi ensure an FIR is registered under the SC/ST Act against those responsible for the ceremony carried out after party president Mallikarjun Kharge addressed a rally there.The Congress general secretary said the alleged purification ceremony, held at Ramlila Maidan after Kharge’s August 8 address, was a “grave violation” of the Constitution and the SC/ST Act. She questioned why no action had been taken nearly 20 days after the incident.”If the honourable Prime Minister Modi ji truly respects the Constitution of our country, then he should ensure that an FIR is filed against those who committed this crime in Uttarakhand and that action is taken under the SC/ST Act,” Priyanka Gandhi said in a post on X.She also shared a video of leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi’s press conference in which he made a similar demand, accusing those behind the ceremony of practising untouchability and calling for action against them under the SC/ST Act.”Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge ji addressed a rally in Haldwani, after which people from BJP-RSS ‘purified’ his stage. This ‘purification’ is not only a symbol of an extremely reprehensible and shameful mindset but also a grave violation of our Constitution and the SC/ST Act, and a crime,” Priyanka said.Rahul Gandhi attacks BJP-RSS ‘mindset’Rahul Gandhi had on Saturday demanded that PM Modi order an FIR against those who carried out the alleged purification ceremony. He said the incident reflected what he described as an “BJP-RSS mindset” and alleged that it amounted to untouchability.”The incident reflects the mindset of the BJP-RSS people who continue to practice untouchability, and they do not want Dalits to progress and live with respect and be successful,” Gandhi said.”We are demanding justice for the Congress president… It is the duty of the central and state governments to ensure that Kharge gets justice,” he added.The former Congress chief also alleged that Uttarakhand BJP president Mahendra Bhatt had defended the purification ceremony while PM Modi had remained silent on the issue.”We demand that an FIR be lodged against those who have done this. PM Modi states that he belongs to every caste and is the prime minister of the country, but his party chief of Uttarakhand defends ‘shuddhikaran’,” Gandhi said.BJP chief’s remarks trigger Congress criticismThe Congress has separately accused Uttarakhand BJP chief Mahendra Bhatt of justifying the ceremony and questioned whether the ruling party would take action against him for allegedly defending untouchability.Bhatt had reportedly said the venue was polluted by slogans that were not appropriate for a religious place, while dismissing criticism of the purification ritual.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe alleged ceremony took place at Ramlila Maidan in Haldwani after Kharge addressed a gathering there on August 8.

(AP Photo) NEW DELHI: Nepal has sought advance approvals to import electricity from India, effective Sept 2026, in view of generation deficits caused by flash floods, govt said.Power ministry officials said India will provide any additional electricity that Nepal may need and relevant authorities are processing these requests.India imports hydropower from Nepal during summer and exports electricity in the dry winter, when rivers freeze and generation is impacted. Both countries currently have a 1,000 MW electricity import-export capacity through the Dhalkebar-Muzaffarpur 400 kV cross-border transmission line and have recently agreed to increase it to over 1,400 MW.Following flash floods in the Trishuli/Lhende Khola river basin on Aug 26 that caused severe local infrastructure damage and disrupted specific generating stations, officials said Kathmandu has requested India to advance the export mechanism, which otherwise begins during peak winter.The impact of the damage on India’s national power grid, however, is minimal and fully manageable, an official said.“Major cross-border transmission corridors, such as the high-capacity 400 kV Dhalkebar-Muzaffarpur link (with a transfer capacity of 1,000 MW), remain operational,” said a power ministry official. According to assessments, domestic generation capacity in Nepal has seen a reduction of approximately 550 MW due to damaged facilities. Cross-border power flow to India is currently reduced by approximately 400 MW, from previous peak export levels of around 950-1,000 MW.“We do not foresee any requirement for exceptional emergency procurement or alternative arrangements to balance domestic demand. India’s vast national grid capacity and robust generation reserve margins are capable of absorbing a temporary shortfall of 400 MW seamlessly without disrupting grid stability or retail supply,” the official said.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesSome of the key under-construction projects, including the 900 MW Arun-3 and 669 MW Lower Arun projects in the Arun River basin, which are being executed by central public sector companies, are located in an unaffected catchment and continue on schedule without disruption, said an official.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

North Bihar is bracing for familiar scenes once again as floodwaters from Nepal move downstream.Floods have long been a part of life in northern Bihar. But a growing population and rapid urbanisation have made their impact more severe over the years.The rivers that sustain the region for most of the year turn dangerous during the monsoon. And for people living here, there is little choice but to face the floods, rebuild and prepare for the cycle to repeat itself.Bihar minister Ramkripal Yadav said the state government is closely monitoring the flood threat in Bihar in view of the tragedy in Nepal.”Bihar is adjacent to Nepal, and the water that has come from Nepal in the past has affected many areas of Bihar, leading to loss of life and property, destruction of crops and homes. The Bihar government and the chief minister himself are monitoring this,” Yadav told ANI.He assured that the state government will extend every possible help to those affected.”The Bihar government will provide every possible help. The flood victims of Bihar have the first right on Bihar’s treasury, and it is secure for them. The government will work,” he added.What was the trigger this time?A glacial collapse at the Nepal-Tibet border on August 26 triggered a flash flood in Nepal that has claimed more than 600 lives.Analysis of satellite imagery indicated that a large mass of ice and rock may have fallen into the Lende Khola river, temporarily blocking its flow and creating a natural dam that later breached, sending floodwaters downstream.Due to the collapse, a large volume of ice and rock debris entered the Lende Khola, a tributary of the Bhote Koshi river in Nepal, generating a sudden surge that carried water, sediment and large boulders downstream.The scale of the devastation can be gauged from the fact that twelve hydropower plants were reportedly knocked offline, dozens of bridges were swept away and the only road connecting the valley to the rest of Nepal was destroyed.Nature could not care less about political borders. And a flood that originated in Nepal will not stop at the border. From Nepal, the floodwaters will eventually move into north Bihar, before flowing into West Bengal and eventually Bangladesh, where they will empty into the sea.Why does Bihar drown every year?Speaking to The Times of India, IIT-trained civil engineer and flood expert Dinesh Mishra said Bihar’s locational disadvantage is one of the reasons why it drowns every year in floods. He said the state is situated in such a way that water comes directly through the south-flowing rivers from Nepal.”The first reason is Bihar’s locational disadvantage. Bihar is situated in such a way that water comes directly from the mountains,” Mishra said.”All the rivers that enter Bihar from Nepal are south-flowing. So, the area north of the Ganga will inevitably remain waterlogged. And if it does not, there will be drought in the region,” he added.Rivers originating from the Himalayas, like Kosi, Gandak, Burhi Gandak and Bagmati, carry huge volumes of silt with them to Bihar. When the water level increases due to rain, these rivers overflow their banks.This makes Bihar India’s most flood-prone state, with 76 per cent of the population in north Bihar living under the threat of floods.Bihar’s disaster management authority classifies floods into four categories.Class I refers to flash floods, which occur due to rainfall in Nepal, have a short lead time of around eight hours between forecast and flood, and recede quickly.Class II refers to river floods, with a lead time of 24 hours and floodwaters that take a week or more to recede.Class III refers to drainage congestion at river confluences, where the lead time exceeds 24 hours and the water lasts the entire monsoon season, receding only after about three months.Class IV refers to permanently waterlogged areas.This year, according to Bihar water resources department, the Gandak river has crossed the danger mark in Gopalganj, while the barrage at Valmikinagar released around 99,800 cusecs of water at 8 pm on Saturday.”The water level of several rivers, including the Gandak, Kosi, Burhi Gandak and the Ganga, has been rising. Incessant rainfall in the catchment areas of Nepal has led to rivers touching or flowing above the danger level at several places,” a senior official of the water resources department said.People in West Champaran, East Champaran, Sitamarhi and Muzaffarpur, besides Gopalganj, Saran and Vaishali, have also been facing heightened fears over the past three days following an unprecedented inflow of water from Nepal.Other than flooding, another concern is soil erosion along the banks of swollen rivers.Embankments: Solution or part of the problem?For over a century, embankments along rivers have been a major preventive measure against floods. Successive governments built these walls along river banks to prevent rivers from deviating from their course and protect settlements.However, Dinesh Mishra said these embankments are the root cause of the havoc wreaked by floods rather than being the solution.”You build embankments basically to prevent river water from spilling out. But if floodwater that would naturally flow into the river is stopped, the water has nowhere to go,” Mishra said.”If it cannot return to the river, it will move into areas that were previously not affected by floods,” he added.Mishra said Kosi once had space to spread and deposit its sediments, but embankments have now confined the river. With the sediments having nowhere to go, the riverbed has been rising, making the Kosi increasingly prone to overflowing.”The river carries silt with it, and because of the embankments, the riverbed continues to rise,” he said.Interestingly, Flood Atlas of Bihar, prepared by Isro along with the central and state governments, also says that “there must be a realisation that minimising the risk and damage from floods may be a more rational way of flood management rather than formulating structural measures along the dynamic rivers such as the Kosi.”Everybody loves a good floodDuring the conversation, Mishra, however, rejected the notion that floods have always been a source of sorrow for Bihar. He said floods are also a time of celebration.He said farmers eagerly wait for floods because, as he put it, “a fresh layer of silt is deposited on the fields after floods, making the soil more fertile.”He added that in the remote villages of north Bihar, people sometimes wait for floods because relief funds and the attention of politicians are also drawn towards villages where little development work has been done.”People have been made this way. Earlier, they had clear SOPs to protect themselves during floods. But now, because they have become dependent on the government for relief, lives are lost,” he said.The traditions around floodsFor generations, floods in north Bihar were not simply seen as a force to be feared. They were woven into the rhythm of life, with people learning to live alongside the rivers rather than trying to keep them at bay.”Our ancestors knew this was a water-rich, flood-prone region. When they settled here, they must have done so with that understanding,” Mishra said.The relationship with the rivers was deeply personal. People revered them as mothers, and when the rains failed, women in villages would perform rituals to invoke the rivers and call for water.But when the floodwaters refused to recede, another ritual would follow. Women would gather with fruits, flowers, sandalwood, akshat and sindoor to persuade the river to leave.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe rivers were considered unmarried, Mishra said, and women would even “threaten” them with marriage if they refused to listen.These traditions show how closely floods have been tied to life in north Bihar for generations.People did not always see the rivers only as a threat. They depended on them for water, fertile soil and agriculture, even as they feared the destruction that came when the rivers overflowed.That relationship continues even today. Every monsoon, the same rivers bring both relief and anxiety. And once the water recedes, people clean their homes, return to their fields and begin rebuilding knowing that the floods may return the next year.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

He accused the Mirwaiz of making statements that could disturb the peace that has returned to the Valley after years of violence.”Mirwaiz Umar Farooq needs to realize that Article 370 will not be reinstated. No political party, leader, or pressure group can undo the fundamental truth that Parliament has permanently buried Article 370,” Thakur said.He said attempts to revive the issue risked pushing Kashmir back into a period of political instability.”These kinds of statements are intended to incite people and disturb the tranquility of the Valley once more. This will never be permitted. The return of peace to Kashmir has come at a very high cost to the country. Thakur stated, “We cannot allow politically motivated statements to undermine or challenge the sacrifices made by our courageous security forces and civilians, including political workers who gave their lives for peace and democracy.”Thakur said people in Kashmir should not be pushed into another cycle of violence, shutdowns and unrest after having endured years of disruption.”Those who try to resurrect old fault lines need to realize that Kashmir has progressed. Our young people are looking for the chances to educate themselves, work, entrepreneurship, investment, and travel. “They don’t want to go back to a time, when violence dictated the future and shutdown calendars controlled their lives,” he added in the statement.Thakur said political parties were free to express their views within the Constitution, but argued that repeatedly seeking reversal of a constitutional decision upheld by the Supreme Court was futile.”Democracy gives the right to speak and participate, but democracy cannot be reduced to repeatedly demanding the reversal of a constitutional decision that has already been upheld by the highest court of the country,” he stated.He also reiterated the BJP’s position that statehood for Jammu and Kashmir would be restored at an appropriate time, while insisting that statehood and Article 370 were separate issues.”Statehood and Article 370 are clearly different. The government has declared that statehood would be restored at a suitable moment. However, there is no way that Article 370 could be reinstated,”. “Those who are causing confusion on this matter need are advised to stop misleading the public,” he stated.Earlier, Mirwaiz had criticised the National Conference government’s performance, saying its current position differed from commitments made during the 2024 Assembly elections.”The people’s rights have been taken away, Jammu & Kashmir has been split, and all of our legal and constitutional obligations have been totally disregarded,” he said.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesWhile acknowledging that issues such as electricity, roads and development were important, Mirwaiz said they were secondary to what he described as the broader question concerning the status of Jammu and Kashmir.“ But I think these are secondary issues. The real issue is that the very existence of the people of Jammu & Kashmir is under threat. At this juncture, all political parties in J&K should not only raise their voice for the restoration of statehood but also seek the restoration of Article 370, which was the basis accession (with India),” he stated.Mirwaiz also alleged that the Union government had broken its commitments to the people of Jammu and Kashmir dating back to 1947, including constitutional guarantees.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
