A West Bengal media delegation led by #PIBKolkata visited the Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla (@IIASShimla ) and explored the historical, political, architectural and intellectual significance of the institute and the iconic #ViceregalLodge , which houses it.
Initially built as the summer seat of governance for the Indian subcontinent for British Viceroys 137 years ago, the institution was later used as the home of Indian presidents and evolved as #IIAS , a centre for advanced research, scholarship and intellectual exchange, in 1964.

क्या आप जानते हैं 'ऑपरेशन पोलो' की कहानी?
हैदराबाद के भारतीय संघ में विलय की कहानी सिर्फ इतिहास नहीं, बल्कि 'एक भारत' के निर्माण का एक निर्णायक अध्याय है.
सितंबर 1948 के 'ऑपरेशन पोलो' ने देश के राजनीतिक एकीकरण को नई दिशा दी और सरदार पटेल के एकजुट भारत के संकल्प को साकार करने में अहम भूमिका निभाई.
'Insight' में इस ऐतिहासिक अभियान और इसके दूरगामी प्रभाव पर एक चर्चा.

Maps define borders. Civilizations are defined by memory, culture, and continuity.
In an age of competing narratives, facts speak softly—but carry the greatest weight.

"भारत का इतिहास केवल Geo-Politics की दृष्टि से नहीं समझा जा सकता। उसे समझने के लिए संस्कृति, सभ्यता, दर्शन और शताब्दियों से प्रवाहित ज्ञान-परंपरा को भी समझना होगा। हम बात करेंगे शताब्दी दर शताब्दी, जहाँ संस्कृति और सत्ता का अनूठा संवाद सामने आता है।"
आइए, #raagneeti के साथ भारत की उस ऐतिहासिक यात्रा का हिस्सा बनिए, जहाँ इतिहास केवल घटनाओं का क्रम नहीं, बल्कि सभ्यता का सतत प्रवाह है।
