Message from the BJYM President
Namaskar!
I hope that the August edition of the BJYM Magazine finds you in good
health. I express my deepest condolences to the entire BJYM family at the
tragic loss of Shri Praveen Nettru, who was a strong pillar of the team
BJYM in Dakshina Kannada. This brutal murder in Karnataka feels like a
personal loss, and I stand with our brave karyakartas in this hour of grief.
The brutal murder of our Karyakarta Shri Praveen cannot be treated as a
one-off incident. Such acts of terror must be dealt with an iron hand. The
serial killings of Hindu activists in Karnataka by Islamists are part of the
pre-planned organised crime to terrorise society and sabotage the
democratic process. A comprehensive investigation is needed to uncover
the entire terror network and its masterminds. BJYM will continue to fight
for justice for Praveen and other brave karyakartas. I have full faith that the
Karnataka government will bring to justice the perpetrators of this
dastardly act as swiftly as possible.
On July 25th, BJYM scripted history by organising the first-ever political rally at the iconic Lal Chowk, Srinagar
in Jammu & Kashmir after 70 years. The momentous event witnessed the participation of more than 2000
nationalists as a testimony to the New Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370. BJYM National President Shri
Tejasvi Surya carried forward the legacy of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, who unfurled the Tiranga at Lal
Chowk in 1992 despite the threat by terrorists.
The public rally was followed by the Tiranga bike rally from Lal Chowk to Kargil. Two hundred bikers from
across the country participated in the bike rally. Sacred soil from the forefront of the martyred soldiers was
brought from different parts of the country by BJYM karyakartas to be offered at the Kargil War Memorial. BJYM
is committed to the mantra of 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat' of Prime Minister Modi and stands as the eternal
guardian of the Bharat against the forces of separatism, terrorism & chaos.
Friends! As India celebrates Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has launched a mass
movement of Har Ghar Tiranga. I urge all the karyakartas to make this campaign a grand success by ensuring that
Tiranga reaches every home, and on August 15th, your neighbourhood is draped in patriotism and unity. We must
set aside our personal and political differences to honour the countless generations of freedom fighters who
sacrificed their all over the centuries.
Under the inspiring leadership of BJP National President Shri J.P Nadda, a joint NEC of all the BJP morcha was
held in Patna to attain better synergy between morchas striving towards the common goal. I request BJYM
karyakartas at every level to co-ordinate and work more closely with the dedicated karyakartas of other morchas,
learn from the best practices and develop personal friendships. We are all part of the BJP Parivar and stronger
together!
Vande Mataram!

Editorial
Under the inspiring leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi,
India celebrates 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav' to mark 75 years of
independence from colonial rule. The centuries of heroic resistance
against foreign rule began a new chapter in Indian history in 1947 when
we started rebuilding our economy, society, and polity. The last 75 years
have seen moments of great challenges and triumphs. As India enters
'Amrit Kaal', it is imperative that the youth of India engage with the
emerging issues and challenges that will shape the next 25 years.
Rapid technological changes are reshaping the world as we know it. 4th
industrial revolution promises to transform not just the economy but
also the social structures and polity as we know it. The shift in the global
geo-economic and geo-political situation in the post-pandemic world is
already visible with the relative decline of the west, causing
realignment of global power and opening new avenues of contestation
and conflicts.
It places the youth of India at a critical juncture where it must not only
respond to the emerging issues but also pro-actively shape the future.
We are entering a period of great disruption where the existing
economic and political structure and global order can not be taken for
granted. We are already facing the challenge from big-tech to India's
digital sovereignty. The transformation of the production process and
automation has raised questions on the 'future of work' itself. Machine
learning and rapid advancements in artificial intelligence open up
challenges we cannot yet comprehend. The historic task of this
generation will be to manage this transformation which will test its
resolve, judgement, and leadership to the limits.
The most important task in the next 25 years will be to rapidly
industrialise India in a sustainable manner to create mass employment
and prosperity and build up India's manufacturing and technological
prowess. Building an 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' is also necessary to face the
active and passive threats in the evolving battlefields of the future. It
calls for a rethink and renewed commitment to our approach to critical
issues like education, health, economic policies, defence policies and
governance models.
3
The youth must also be politically aware and rooted in the civilisational
ethos of Bharat. The centrifugal forces of anarchy will also try to take
advantage of the changing scenario and redouble their efforts to spread
their ideology using the new modes of communication and
indoctrination. The only political answer to it is to mobilise every
section of the youth based on nationalism for constructive politics in
the service of the masses. The BJYM has been striving towards
nurturing the youth leadership that can face these future challenges and
has the intellectual depth to comprehend and respond to the threats, old
or new, under changed circumstances.
This edition of the BJYM Magazine has articles from the BJYM
karyakartas and supporters on the policies and issues that will shape the
next 25 years and how the BJP government is laying the foundation of
the future.

the Indian economy has fared.
Now let us see the same graph but adding UK and China as well (Europe/West may be a better comparison for all of India/China,
but UK/Netherlands and later the US are good proxies for the global economic frontier).
10ARTICLE We can see that India was not only far behind the UK in incomes in 1600, but even fell behind China (though overtook it by a bit in the 18th century while still falling in absolute terms) which shows that colonialism of all hues hurt India for a long time. Only in the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century did India see a mild rise which too was largely reversed just before Independence in 1947. While per capita figures matter most to understand human progress, overall weight matters as well for international influence. Market exchange rates are no doubt very important, but purchasing power parity numbers in effect incorporate future influence as well as the fact that military spending etc in a lower-income country goes further than in a higher-income one. Here too, India’s rise has been significant overshadowed only by China’s. 11

and ‘minus’ have come to the forefront during the recent rise in inflation/geopolitical tensions. India has much better physical
infrastructure though there is still a long way to go.
And despite a flirtation with autarky and license raj after Independence, India is much more globally inter-connected today and
domestically freer for commerce while still not being averse to industrial/trade policy in a delicate balance that is being played out3.
Its economic base is much more complex today with high-end services and, to a lesser extent, manufacturing both doing well
