The man who coined the slogan ‘Quit India’: Remembering Yusuf Meherally

The socialist freedom fighter was Mumbai’s mayor when the Congress intensified the freedom movement 75 years ago on this day. Courtesy: Yusuf Meherally Centre Who coined the iconic slogan “Quit India”, the rallying cry of a movement for freedom launched this day 75 years ago? Contrary to popular belief, it was not Mohandas Gandhi. Gandhi kick-started the Quit India movement on August 8, 1942, at the All India Congress Committee meeting in Mumbai’s Gowalia Tank Maidan. He also infused it with the spirit of his phrase “do or die”. Over the following few months, freedom fighters across India responded with waves of civic rebellion, despite the arrest of Gandhi and other leaders, and violent backlash from the British authorities. But the “Quit India” slogan is credited to another Congress leader, Yusuf Meherally, who is said to have come up with the phrase at a meeting of Gandhi’s close associates in Mumbai some time before the launch of the movement. At the time, 39-y

A new exposé of Mother Teresa shows that she—and the Vatican—were even worse than we thought

First Christopher Hitchens took her down, then we learned that her faith wasn’t as strong as we thought, and now a new study from the Université de Montréal is poised to completely destroy what shreds are left of Mother Teresa’s reputation. She was the winner of the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, was beatified and is well on her way to becoming a saint, and she’s universally admired. As Wikipedia notes: [She was] named 18 times in the yearly Gallup’s most admired man and woman poll as one of the ten women around the world that Americans admired most. In 1999, a poll of Americans ranked her first in Gallup’s List of Most Widely Admired People of the 20th Century . In that survey, she out-polled all other volunteered answers by a wide margin, and was in first place in all major demographic categories except the very young. The criticisms of Agnes Gonxha, as she was christened, have been growing for a long time. I wasn’t aware of them until I read Christopher Hitchens’s cleverly

MORE THAN 1000 PENGUINS FOUND DEAD IN ANTARCTICA. THE REASON ?

Thousndands of penguins have been found dead on a remote island in Antarctica. The reason behind the mass death is yet to be discovered by scientists although they suspect it could be a result of a sudden heatwave and the warming of Antarctica as they visited the site for inspection. More than 1000 dead penguins were found in the South Shetland Islands, which have wiped out half of its penguin population. Scientists suggest the penguins have died over a period of time which can be over a month or two. However the decomposing of their bodies are slow due to the ice cap. Climate scientists say this is a sign of an even greater disaster that is going to happen adding that "No action to mitigate climate change, if not cooling of the planet would mean we will face the next great extinction". "We have seen penguin deaths in the recent past as well. But it never exceeded a dozen of them ever. This is a scary situation. The population of Seals, Pe
