1000-year-old copper plates have been brought from the Netherlands, says PM Modi

On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked about the heat in his Mann Ki Baat program. "In our country, the way to deal with the heat is often seen in the kitchen. You must have noticed that as the heat increases, the taste of home cooking also changes. In the 'Mann Ki Baat' programme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked about sportspersons. "Friends, one such event that is being discussed across the country is the 100-meter race. In just two days, the national record in the men's 100m race was broken three times. The two athletes who have achieved this feat are Gurinder Vir Singh and Animesh Kujur. Gurinder Vir Singh clocked 10.09 seconds in the men's 100m race at the Federation Cup Senior National Athletics Tournament held at the Birsa Munda Stadium in Ranchi on May 23. He became the fastest sprinter in India. Gurinder Vir overtook his rival Animesh Kujur who earlier held the record to his name. We have seen jugalbandi in music, but this jugalbandi is special in that one presents a challenge and the other takes up that challenge. Then, they do it for the third time. Your topic has been very interesting. I wish that the listeners of 'Mann Ki Baat' know about you and your achievements. Key points of PM Modi in Mann Ki Baat... 1. Drink desi drinks in summer: You are familiar with desi drinks. If you go to North India, you will get the taste of aam panna (a type of amma panna), raw mango and relief from the heat. If you visit Punjab and Haryana, you will get lassi. In Rajasthan and Gujarat, buttermilk is a companion to every meal. In Bihar, Jharkhand and eastern Uttar Pradesh, Sattu's sherbet is wonderful - it fills the stomach and gives energy. Kokum sherbet and soul curry in Konkan and Goa. Panakam, Neer Mor, Sambaram in South India and Billina Pan in Odisha, these are not just beverages, they are a part of the traditions of different regions of India. 2. The fragrance of mangoes in every household during summer: With the onset of summer, another topic of discussion starts in every household: mangoes. Every region has its own mangoes, taste and aroma. Hapus and Alphonso of Maharashtra and Konkan and Kesar mango of Gujarat are the soul of taste. Dussehra in Uttar Pradesh and 'Langda' of my Kashi! Go to South India and you will find Banganapalle, Totapuri, Neelam, Malgoa, Himsagar in Odisha and Suvarnarakha in Andhra Pradesh. With the change in location, the appearance, colour and taste of the mango also changes. Friends, this journey of mangoes is now reaching the global markets from the villages. I would like to appreciate my farmer brothers and sisters involved in mango production. You are not just an ordinary farmer, but you are very important to the agricultural economy of the country. 3. Copper plates of Chola dynasty brought back from the Netherlands: Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the Netherlands. The ancient copper plates of the Chola period were returned to India in a special ceremony there. The Prime Minister of Netherlands was also present. I have been getting messages from India and abroad about this copper board. People are expressing their happiness. These copper plates have aroused a lot of curiosity among the people. It consists of 21 large and three small copper plates. It is mainly related to the fulfillment of a promise made by King Rajendra Chola I to his father, Raja Rajaraja Chola. It mentions donating the village of Anaimangalam to a Buddhist monastery. These copper plates also describe the achievements of the Chola dynasty. Experts believe that these copper plates are more than 1,000 years old. These copper plates are written in ancient Brahmi and Pali languages. It contains important information about the rule, religion and culture of that time. 4. Astronomy clubs are becoming more and more popular across the country: Indians have always had a special fascination for astronomy. Whether it is navigation, whether it is Panchang or our festivals, everything is connected to the sky and stars. The youth are also very interested in this field. I came to know about the Bangalore Astronomical Society, which organises observation sessions. A team named Khagol Mandal has started a very innovative 30-hour course. Similar astronomy events are held in Kerala and Gujarat. 5. A school in Tamil Nadu raises funds for soldiers: Last month, I met a teacher in Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu. I met him almost three decades ago. I am talking about Girija Ammaji. Girija Ammaji runs around 15 schools, the main one being the Jayagopal Garodia Hindu Vidyalaya in Chennai. His spirit of patriotism inspires every Indian. Inspired by "Mann Ki Baat", he pledged to contribute for the countless soldiers of the country. He motivated students in all his schools to do the same. He asked them to contribute one rupee every day for the brave soldiers. This means that each student deposited Rs 365 in a year. This small contribution led to a contribution of about Rs 40 lakh.
