Dear Colleagues,The relay fast continues; as does the increasing stream of visitors. The ESM from around Gurgaon had the honour of keeping fast today. The Press is gradually picking up interest on the "One Rank One Pension" and related issues.
Jan 03, 2008 will mark another milestone in the IESM. A large number of senior veterans are likely to join the Movement in a public function, expected to be well covered by media.
For those unfamiliar with Delhi, a brief history of city of Jantar Mantar as a monument is:
"The famous 18th century astronomer king and the founder of the Pink city of Jaipur, Sawai Jai Singh, built the first of his five astronomical observatories across India. The observatories are known as Jantar Mantar which is a corruption of the words 'yantra' (instrument) 'mantra' (formula) over the period. It gives a glimpse of the astronomical advancement India had made in ancient period. The Jantar Mantar at Delhi is located on Sansad Marg close to Connaught Place. It is the largest and the best preserved compared to the other four open-air observatories which were built by Sawai jai Singh in Varanasi, Jaipur, Mathura and Ujjain. The various abstract structures within the Jantar Mantar are, in fact, instruments that were used for keeping track of celestial bodies. Yet, Jantar Mantar is not only a timekeeper of celestial bodies, it also tells a lot about the technological achievements under the Rajput kings and their attempt to resolve the mysteries regarding astronomy."
