Independence Day: How Chicago Radio became the voice of India's ... (BBC News)

In 1929, a young volunteer of the Indian National Congress party had a moment of epiphany. Nanik Motwane was watching the venerated national hero Mahatma ...

Nearly a century after it was launched to amplify the voice of India's freedom, Chicago Radio is still around, now a low-profile, small firm selling public address and intercom systems in a saturated market. We put Motwane on one side and Chicago Radio on the other side." He hired a photographer who travelled with him to the meetings with a film and movie cameras, taking pictures and recording priceless footage of meetings, featuring luminaries such as Gandhi, Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and the charismatic Subhas Chandra Bose. Many of these recordings now lie scattered all over the Motwane residence in uptown Mumbai. "He used to keep detailed records of the meetings, he was very meticulous," says Kiran Motwane. The party would cover our expenses and would give us around 6,000 rupees a meeting," says Kiran Motwane. Motwane told the police that he was not a member of the Congress. No evidence was found, and he was freed. He collected the photographs and and newspaper clippings featuring the public meetings in huge albums. He would record the speeches on spool tapes and hand over a copy to the party. "He was in jail for a month and tortured," says Kiran Motwane. "It's true that he was helping the underground police station". Nanik Motwane also helped run a clandestine radio station that broadcast messages from Gandhi and other leaders to counter the imperial propaganda of the state-run broadcaster. Chicago Radio was a curious name for a firm based in Bombay (now Mumbai), where the Motwanes had migrated to in 1919. Nanik Motwane was picked up for allegedly helping the station with equipment and technical assistance. For the next two decades, Chicago Radio became synonymous with the loudspeakers that relayed India's struggle for freedom from imperial rule to the masses.

Independence Day News: भारत इस साल 75वां स्वतंत्रता दिवस मना रहा है या 76वां?

प्रधानमंत्री मोदी की इस पहल को कई विपक्षी पार्टियों ने भी माना है. हालांकि, वे अपने हिसाब से इसे मना रही है. पीएम मोदी ने लोगों से सोशल मीडिया के माध्यम से भी इस पहल के साथ जुड़ने का आह्वान किया था. इसके बात कई यूजर्स ने अपने सोशल अकाउंट्स की प्रोफाइल पिक में तिरंगा की तस्वीर लगा ली. एबीपी न्यूज 76वें स्वतंत्रता दिवस पर सभी देशवासियों को बधाई देता है. जय हिंद! भारत 15 अगस्त सन 1947 में स्वतंत्र हो गया था. इसके एक साल पूरे होने पर यानी 15 अगस्त 1948 को स्वतंत्रता दिवस की पहली वर्षगांठ मनाई गई थी लेकिन स्वतंत्रता दिवस दूसरा हो गया था. दिवस में इसे शुरू होने वाली तारीख को भी गिना जाता है. इसी तरह 1957 में भारत ने स्वतंत्रता दिवस की 10वीं वर्षगांठ मनाई लेकिन दिवस के तौर पर यह 11वां था. इसी तरह गिनती करने पर अब यानी 2022 में स्वतंत्रता की यह 75वीं वर्षगांठ है लेकिन दिवस 76वां है. यानी भारत इस वर्ष 76वां स्वतंत्रता दिवस मना रहा है. स्वतंत्रता दिवस के 75 साल पूरे होने पर भारत सरकार ने 'आजादी का अमृत महोत्सव' अभियान शुरू किया था, जिसे सालभर से देशभर में अलग-अलग कार्यक्रमों के द्वारा मनाया जा रहा है. इसी के तहत प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने देशवासियों में देशभक्ति की भावना जगाने के लिए 'हर घर तिरंगा' अभियान की शुरुआत की. इसका असर दिख रहा है. गांव हों या शहर, देश के असंख्य घरों की छतों पर राष्ट्रीय ध्वज लहराते दिख रहे हैं.

Mahatma Gandhi's dream of caring for the last person, his aspiration of making the last person capable – I dedicated myself to that. An aspirational society is an asset to any country and we are proud that today in every corner of India aspirations are high. If one state has worked to ensure progress, the other must do better,” Modi said in his I-day speech. Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Monday urged the people of the state to give their time for nation building so that a major transformation could be achieved in the next 25 years, leading to the centenary of India's Independence. Addressing the Independence Day function at the Exhibition Ground in Bhubaneswar, Patnaik said the country has achieved many milestones in the last 75 years and can now compete with other leading nations. The PTI report further said that Swachhagrah, frontline workers, auto-rickshaw drivers, construction workers and labourers who prepared the majestic tableaus were among the special guests invited to the Republic Day parade in January this year. “Today, we dedicate 75 mohalla clinics to mark 75 years of Independence,” Mann told the media. “I am very happy that I got the chance to visit Red Fort. This is the first time I am visiting the Red Fort on Independence Day and this is also the first time I am getting a chance to listen to Modi,” Bhagmani told PTI. PM Modi hoisted the national flag at the ramparts of the Red Fort and addressed the nation for the ninth consecutive time. From “no G to 5G”, here’s a look at some of the significant events in India’s history of telecom. This change in the thinking of the world is the result of our journey of 75 years,” he said. The Prime Minister further added that India is an aspirational society where changes are being powered by a collective spirit. Addressing the nation from the Red Fort on 75th Independence Day, Modi said that nepotism is hollowing out India’s institutions and is leading to corruption in many cases. Bill Gates too congratulated India and called the country’s development in healthcare and digital transformation “inspiring”.

aiming to boost domestic manufacturing, India has already started witnessing initial movement with increased production and assembly activities across products and the next stage of growth will be a more revolutionary stage for us as a country to position ourselves as the manufacturing leaders of the world where we’ll be “Making in India for the World”. All these factors are strongly supported by the strong innovation and technical ability of the young brands to create aspirational products that were once available only for a niche community. Make in India”, What started as a mere phrase has now become one of the largest Govt. led initiatives in the country with the goal to transform Indian industries and reposition India as a manufacturing and export hub on the global map. Further in the post-covid life, wearables emerged as a promising category to bring opportunities and growth prospects to consumers, brands and the industry. Easy access to labour, availability of resources and government initiatives like the Production Linked Initiatives (PIL) scheme and Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP) have enabled numerous brands to move their manufacturing hub to India and scale up localised production. The new generation is informed and connected, has a preference for brands/ products that contribute to the growth of their nation.
