The Central Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is contemplating for privatisation of the nationalised banks for quite some. It was not surprising when the decision was announced by the Union Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, while presenting the budget recently. She also made it crystal-clear that the government’s intention is to fine-tune the performance of the public sector banks and the privatisation would only augur well for their long-term growth. She was also not averse to informing that henceforth the private banks would take care of the government-related work like the Income Tax and Pension scheme, instead of the nationalised banks, speaks volume of the government’s seriousness in facilitating the process.

When the human civilization was comparatively young nearly 2722 years ago with political turbulence sweeping Levant which then formed the Eastern Mediterranean of Western Asia, the mighty Assyrian Empire exiled the 10 Jewish tribes of Israel.

They accessed to the then inaccessible Manipur and Mizoram braving heat, stand storms, cold, mountains, jungles, rivers and seas risking their very lives, Bnei Mesashe people settled down there.

Republic Day is the special day for the people of India which came into existence much later after the struggle withholding the emotions, love and sacrifices made by our ancestors & freedom fighters. We are blessed to celebrate it with valor and elaborate it our generations to come. It honours the day on which the Constitution of India came into effect on 26 January 1950 replacing the Government of India Act (1935) as the governing document of India and thus, turning the nation into a newly formed republic.
