Bharat Bharati
Spirit of “Rambo” Ram Krishnaswamy Recognitions
Ram Krishnaswamy “Rambo” happened to be an enigmatic member of that first generation of IITians which actually created the Brand IIT in the first place. At the epitome of the Global Recognition of Brand IIT, specially when the first of the IITs at Kharagpur commemorate its Golden Jubilee, Ram Krishnaswamy founded the IIT Global Movement which became a close to GrassRoots Global Network of IITians dedicated to the service of the nation in the first place, rather than being a platform to merely advance one’s personal professional self-interests.
A one-man institution, Ram Krishnaswamy, brought together an entire community together through his personal charisma and selfless dedication and championed innumerable causes having a long term impact on the Future of India.
Ram Da, as we youngsters used to address him, breathed his last in Sydney on 20th of November 2022 after completing 75 years of an eventful & happening life, inspiring not just his peers, but successive generations of IITians.
ReTHINK INDIA has taken upon itself to continue the Spirit of Ram Da in all its resplendence.
Spirit of Rambo Recognitions
is thereby an attempt to spread the enigma of Ram Da
by honoring that Intrinsic IITian Spirit of Intense Inner Transformation from
Mystical Frontiers of Mind to Mesmerizing Confines of Matter to Majestic Structures of Management
all dedicated to the service of Indian National Interests.

Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviya Mention 2022
For his notable contributions to education in India, Mahamana Malaviya was honoured with India’s highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna on December 24, 2014, posthumously.
December 25 observes the birth anniversary of Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya. Affectionately known as Mahamana, he was an Indian educationist and freedom fighter who founded the Banaras Hindu University.
Madan Mohan Malaviya, who was born in 1861, played an integral role in fostering modern education throughout the country and later founded the BHU in Varanasi in 1916. He was also a founding member of the Bharat Scouts and Guides.
In 1909, Malaviya founded the newspaper The Leader that is considered one of the highly influential newspapers. From 1924 to 1946, he was appointed as the Chairman of the Hindustan Times and later launched its Hindi edition Hindustan Dainik in 1936.
How Madan Mohan Malaviya
used a Nizam’s Shoe to set up
Banaras Hindu University
In 1916, Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya went pillar to post to raise funds for starting a university. From rich traders to filthy rich landlords, everyone flatly Malaviya got no for an answer everywhere he went. He then made his way into the court of the Nizam of Hyderabad, who was touted as the richest man in the world back then.
Dismissing Malaviya’s request for funds, the Nizam grew furious and said,
“How dare you come to me for funds and that too for a
Hindu University?”
Following his insulting roar, the Nizam took off his footwear and flung it at Malaviya.
What happened next is nothing short of rock and roll history in modern-day terms.
Malaviya, instead of feeling insulted and leaving the court, picked up the Nizam’s shoe and came up with a brilliant idea — he put up the shoe for auction.
Since it was a shoe that belonged to the royalty, many rich people came forward to buy it.
The news reached the Nizam in no time and he thought it would be an insult if his footwear were to be bought by someone who was not as rich as him.
Meanwhile, the bids went through the roof!
Nizam instructed his men to disguise as rich men, attend the auction, and buy the shoe back “for as much amount as possible”.
The men did the same and if the legends are to be believed, a huge sum of money was paid.
This money was eventually used by Malaviya to set up the Banaras Hindu University.
In this fond remembrance of Mahamana – ReTHINK INDIA would felicitate a host of edupreneurs who have displayed a similar such endurance in setting up their very educational enterprise in the spirit of
“Let Righteousness & Dharma Prevail;
and all Communities & Societies Progress;
Let our beloved Motherland regain her Lost Glory;
and the Sons of Bharat be Victorious”
If you know of any such enduring story in edupreneurship, do share with us at editor@rethinkindia.in with the details of the edupreneur concerned or simply whatsapp the same to Dr. Surbhi at 9910050597 latest by December 15th so that we can felicitate him/her on Mahamana’s 162nd Birthday
