Babu Jagjivan Ram Jayanthi
Babu Jagjivan Ram Jayanthi 2011 is celebrated today on April 5th on rememberance of our veteran freedom fighter, former Deputy Prime Minister of India and beloved national leader Babu Jagjivan Ram.
Babu Jagjivan Ram's political story reads like a modern-day epic. Emerging from the soiled backwoods of caste-plagued Bihar where opportunities were limited and life was severe, this determined crusader scaled heights of success unrivalled by any other person in post- Independence history. He was respectfully called Babuji (Father) by one and all.
In retrospect what Babuji did seems unreal. Imagine having an uninterrupted parliamentary career spanning over half-a-century, a world record in political longevity. Or standing for the election and returning unopposed on no less then three occasions. Or being instrumental in making India self- sufficient in food at a time when it was at the mercy of Western left-overs. Or acquiring a legendary status for his super-efficiency and his staggering capacity for work. Or as the Defence Minister, guiding the country to its greatest military triumph - the war of 1971, which created Bangladesh.
