Book on last Hindu Emperor of India released
Rewari, January 31
Vijay Yadav, an eminent educationist and writer of the Ahirwal region, has couched the memoirs of the legendary warrior, Hemu, in Ahirvati- Haryanvi dialect in verses. While this language, which has remained in vogue in the region since bygone days, was now one of the endangered languages, Yadav has taken pains to translate the poems for the easy grasp of the readers in simple Hindi as well.
While Prof Anirudh Yadav, chairman of Pavitra Foundation ( NGO), was the chief guest, social activist Dr Tara Saxena presided over its proceedings. Soon after the release of the book, Sudhir Bhargava, convener of the Rewari chapter of INTACH, explained that keeping INTACH’s objective of providing patronage to “endangered languages in India” before them, they had taken an initiative to promote the book written in Ahirvati dialect. Besides he appreciated the efforts made by Vijay Yadav for penning the biography of the notable medieval Hindu warrior, Hemu, who belonged to Rewari.
Similarly showering accolades on Hemu who re-established a Hindu Kingdom, albeit for a short duration, in October, 1556, in north India after over 350 years of foreign rule, Prof Anirudh Yadav said that non-conferment of due recognition on this distinguished Hindu emperor of medieval times by the state and the Central Governments was agonising and demanded that history be re-written to ensure a respectable place for Hemu and other such forgotten Indian heroes in the country’s chronicles. Vijay Yadav, who was honoured by the organisers, specifically spoke about the marked valour and bravery of Hemu who fought Afghan rebels as well as the Mughal forces of Humayun and Akbar in Agra and Delhi, winning 22 battles without a single setback during 1553-1556.

As many as 25 such plants had already been set up and work is in progress on 43. Highlighting industrial development in Haryana, Chowdhry pointed out that since 2005, an investment of Rs 61,000 crore had been made in the state and investments of Rs 97,000 crore were in the pipeline. The minister said the state government was observing year 2013 as ‘Year for Industry and Employment’ with an aim to enhance employment avenues.
The target is to provide employment opportunities to more than 20 lakh persons and houses to 2 lakh poor families during this year.
Besides, there is a proposal to bring about Rs 2 lakh crore investments, she added. She presented water-conservation awards to 14 village panchayats of Gurgaon district. Four state-run schools were honoured under the School Beautification Scheme of the government.

Punia said the GJUSTTA (D) had resolved that the benefit of past service should be given to all affected faculty members at the earliest without any discrimination. "The association has expressed its disappointment over the non-resolution of the issue of autonomous status given to the Haryana School of Business.

Haryana heading for mid-term poll: State BJP chief
Kaithal, January 31 He was addressing a meeting of party workers here recently. He said there was a bright possiblity of the Punjab and Haryana High Court cancelling the membership of the five MLAs of Haryana Janhit Congress (HJC), who had lent support to the Hooda government and ensured its survival. Sharma said the BJP-HJC alliance was very strong and would surely emerge victorious in the next elections. The BJP leader slammed the Hooda government for its "failure on all fronts". Law and order had collapsed as incidents of rape, loot and other crimes had increased, he said. He said the government , which claimed to be a well-wisher of farmers, had gifted their precious land to Vadera at throwaway prices just to please Sonia Gandhi. He dubbed Hooda as a "Chief Minister on daily wages". Prof Sharma alleged that Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi had deposited huge funds in a foreign bank in the name of the Rajiv Gandhi Trust. He said his party would soon present documents to prove this. He called upon the party workers to work whole-heartedly to take the BJP's pro-people policies to every nook and corner of the state. He, however, abstained from making any reference to the Indian National Lok Dal and Om Parkash Chautala. Others who were present at the meeting, included former state BJP chief Atam Parkash Manchanda, former MLAs Kanwar Pal Gujjar and Banarsi Dass and Treasurer of state unit of BJP Ravi Bhushan Garg.

Meanwhile, Inspector Rattan Lal, SHO, Rohdai police station, who visited Hondh Chillar, told the Tribune yesterday that the foundation stone

the issue. While talking to mediapersons at Amritsar recently, prior to his departure on a foreign trip, he urged the Haryana Government to arrest the accused who were responsible for the demolition of the
foundation stone, and initiate stern action against them.
