00:00Hello and welcome to an India First special broadcast that comes to you from the Shri Ram Nagari in Ayodhya.
00:06I'm Gaurav Savan.
00:07The stage is set for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to unfurl the saffron flag at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir.
00:17And this is being seen as a civilizational moment here in Ayodhya.
00:23It's being hailed as the culmination of a struggle that lasted more than 500 years.
00:30And finally, the Pran Pratishtha was of Ram Lala at the temple.
00:36But now it's the Shri Ram Darbar.
00:39Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram, Mata Sita, Lakshmana, Bharat, Shatrubhna, Lord Hanuman.
00:47And it's not just the royal family or the family of the deity.
00:52It's also the Sapt Mandir.
00:56And over the course of the next half hour, we get you all details about the saffron flag,
01:02the symbolism associated with it, and the quest for Ram Raj.
01:07Civilization moment for Bharat.
01:29After 500 years, Ram Mandir stands tall.
01:40Dharam Dhaj to crown devotion.
01:55Prime Minister Modi to unfurl flag of faith.
01:58Dalits, transgenders, aghoris invited.
02:18Chappan Bhog for Lord Ram and devotees.
02:33Mandir complete.
02:35Ayodhya celebrates.
02:36There is tremendous symbolism in what Prime Minister Narendra Modi will do.
02:46Once you hoist the saffron flag atop the Divya Bhavya Navya Ram temple at Ayodhya,
02:54the signal is Lord Ram is finally home.
02:58The saffron flag on the Shikhar.
03:03The Shikhar itself is about 161 feet.
03:07The flagpole on top is another 30 feet.
03:10So from a far distance, from a long distance, you can see the saffron flag with the symbolism of Om,
03:17Om, the sun, which is Raghukul, Suryavanshi, and of course, the Kovidar tree that symbolizes the Raghukul.
03:27From a long distance, you can see that Lord Ram is home.
03:31That's point one.
03:32Point two, there's also the Sakt Mandir that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit.
03:38And the saff Mandir actually includes temples of Maharshi Vishwamitra, Maharshi Valmiki, Maharshi Vashish, Maharshi Agastya, Ma Ahilya, Shabri Devi, and also Jatayu, and that small squirrel, Gileheri.
03:56And these are all symbols associated with Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram.
04:02And then, of course, he will address about 7,000 plus people of what are here being described as Vanchit Samaj, or the lesser privileged ones.
04:16So they will include the SC, ST, OBC, EBC, and many others.
04:24He will address them.
04:26The Nai, the Mochi, the Dalits, the Mahadalits.
04:31What's the message?
04:33Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram, for 13 years, got them all together because that was the way he went and defeated Ravad.
04:43Once again, the effort is to unite the larger Hindu society.
04:49Decades await an anticipation.
05:17Immense devotion for years.
05:30Legal hurdles and court battles.
05:37And then, the mega construction.
05:40What began as a centuries-old dream has now risen as a monumental piece of architecture, blending devotion with modern craftsmanship.
05:56Now, the construction of Ram Mandir in Temple Town, Ayodhya is finally complete.
06:20This historic event will be marked by grand celebrations.
06:25Prime Minister will be in Ayodhya on Tuesday for the Dwaja Rohan at the Shikhar of Ram Mandir.
06:31While discussing the flag ceremony, we were finding some muhurta and in November, we thought the best muhurta is 25th November.
06:44But after that, we came to know that that Panchami is called Vivaha Panchami in Ayodhya and that is the anniversary day of marriage of Bhagawan Sri Ram and Bhagavati Sita.
06:58The raising of the saffron flag or the dharm dhwaj will symbolize the completion of the Ram Temple's construction.
07:06Thousands of devotees are in Ayodhya to witness the temple in its final form.
07:36The event will be attended by thousands of guests, including representatives from the Shikhar of Ram.
08:06From the Dalit, transgender and aghori communities to convey a message of social equality.
08:14Often people say that the Hindus are divided amongst various caste and creed.
08:21But the effort is to unite all Hindus, irrespective of what your caste may be, what your creed may be.
08:28You know, Dalit, Vanchit, the Kinnar Samaj, they will all be here.
08:34You know, the EBCs, the OBCs, various classifications.
08:39The Prime Minister will interact with all of them and they will all be a part of the grand ceremony tomorrow.
08:44Completion of the Ram Temple complex in Ayodhya is more a testament to perseverance and symbol of unity.
08:55The Divya Bhavya Navya Ram Temple in Ayodhya and right behind me there you see the magnificent dharm dhwaj.
09:05Take a look at the dharm dhwaj that will be unfurled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Shriram Temple in Ayodhya.
09:16This signifies the Ram Raj or the Shriram Temple at Ayodhya.
09:24With Gaurav Savant and Samarj Shivastav in Ayodhya, we are a report India Today.
09:33And joining me now on this India First special broadcast is S. Gurumurthi, editor of the Tughlaq.
09:40Someone who's seen this struggle very close and sensed it and felt it.
09:47I want to bring you into this conversation, Mr. Guru Murti.
09:52Many here in Ayodhya are describing this moment as the culmination of 500 years of struggle.
10:01Now that Ram Darbar is established and the dharm dhwaj is about to go up.
10:08How do you view this, sir?
10:11See, it's the civilizational rise of India and it is our civilizational flag.
10:19See, our civilization is undated.
10:22In fact, undatable.
10:25Nobody has been able to dare to specify the date as Swami Vivekananda said.
10:30When the whole world was painted in blue, we had a functioning civilization.
10:38And I was associated with this civilizational rise because of the fortune of my forefathers and my great gurus.
10:48RSS training I had, I saw this movement rising in India from 1984.
10:58And it is not an isolated event only in India.
11:01Many people do not know the post-war order was anti-civilization.
11:10It called upon all nations to forget their past, to disown their past and to move to a future which has nothing to do with the past.
11:20This suited America because it had no past.
11:24But we are all rooted in our past.
11:28We draw inspiration from our past.
11:30Past does not arrest us.
11:33Past actually encourages us.
11:36It does remember what are our faults also.
11:41We don't only remember the greatness of our past.
11:43We also remember the great mistakes we did in the past.
11:47That is how a civilization continuously educates itself.
11:52And Indian civilization is one of the most continuously evolving and educating civilizational system.
12:00And when the post-World War order suppressed all world civilizations,
12:07everybody succumbed and we also succumbed.
12:10But our government succumbed, our polity succumbed, our laws succumbed, our courts succumbed.
12:16But the people did not succumb.
12:19The people held on to their beliefs.
12:21That's a very important point you are making.
12:24Our people did not succumb.
12:27And please explain how even when the temple was not here,
12:33people over generations and over centuries continued to pray, sir.
12:39And why was that so important, sir?
12:42Why is the Ram Janma Bhumi so important for the Sanatan civilization, sir?
12:48Actually, that is symbolic.
12:52For example, if 65 crore people assembled in Kumbh,
12:56it is not an assembly of people.
13:00It is the civilization consciousness of India manifesting.
13:05Who invited them?
13:06So, Ram represented the quintessence of Indian culture, civilization, value systems.
13:12He represented our dharma.
13:14And so, Ram temple, be what it was.
13:21I had seen there, Ram was in jail.
13:25And Ram, you know, Arnold Toynbee, when he delivered the Azad memorial lecture,
13:33he said these three masks which Avurandase built is an ISO.
13:37So, and it is bad for India that these masks exist.
13:44He even said the British symbolisms in India should be removed.
13:50In the interest of the British relationship with India,
13:54wrong symbols promote wrong relationships.
13:59That is what happened in the case of Ram Janma Bhumi.
14:02In 1990s, there was a very near agreement between Muslims and Hindus
14:08for the Muslims to hand over the Ram temple site to us.
14:12But it was stopped by the leftists.
14:15This has been brought out by Mohammed, who was involved in this.
14:19So, it is politics that prevented the rise of civilization in India.
14:25But we rose in a very normal, democratic, peaceful, harmonious way.
14:32Here and there, there would have been problem.
14:34See Russia.
14:36See China.
14:38They had to shed blood of millions of people.
14:42And finally, what happened?
14:44China, which revolted to the entire civilization,
14:47in 2021, in 1965, they wanted to destroy their past.
14:56They carried on a revolution for seven, eight years.
14:59But in 2021, Xi Jinping declared
15:02that 5,000 year old Chinese civilization
15:05will guide them not only now, forever in future.
15:10And Russia has declared itself as a civilization state.
15:13And many people do not know.
15:17Just as Ram temple became the symbol of India's civilization revival,
15:22in Japan, the Asukuni temple became the civilization revival.
15:29And Asukuni temple was made into a dark symbol.
15:33You know, you spoke of strong roots.
15:35Sir, you spoke of, you spoke of strong roots.
15:39I want you to explain to our viewers
15:42the importance of Raghu Kul and Suri Vanshi.
15:46So, they have the sun,
15:47but the significance of the Kovidar tree
15:49in the saffron flag.
15:52And once you've done that,
15:54I want to come to the point
15:55about, you spoke of the Ram Jan Bhoomi,
15:58but you spoke of three mosques.
16:00So, am I to understand?
16:03Next, after Ayodhya,
16:05it's Mathura Shri, Krishna Jan Bhoomi,
16:08and Kashi after that,
16:10or before that, as the case may be.
16:12But first, the Kovidar tree
16:14and the significance, sir.
16:16Sir, this represents, as I said,
16:19the civilizational symbol of India,
16:22which we have rediscovered.
16:24You know, we had to do research
16:26to rediscover what was the symbolism
16:29of the flag.
16:32This happened,
16:33this happens to countries
16:35which have gone through
16:36anti-civilizational movements.
16:38Take, for instance, Cambodia.
16:40Cambodia's civilization
16:41was completely destroyed.
16:43Their music, their art,
16:45their culture, everything.
16:47It took decades for Cambodian people
16:50to discover bit by bit by bit.
16:53But in India,
16:54such effort was not needed.
16:57But the symbol of the Dvaj
17:00is a very, very important thing
17:04because it brings before us
17:06a thousand-year-old civilization
17:09which, thousands of year-old civilization
17:12which remained suspended for thousand years.
17:14The Dvajarohan is a reassertion
17:19of thousands of years of Indian civilization
17:22that stood suspended for thousand years
17:25and even hated for the last 50, 60 years.
17:29And it's such an important occasion for us.
17:33It's not just a temple
17:36and a flag being hoisted on the temple.
17:40It is an announcement to the world
17:43that Indian civilization
17:45is a living civilization
17:47and it is now a proud civilization
17:51and it is not against anybody.
17:53This is the only non-conflicting civilization
17:56in the world.
17:57It has no theological hatred towards anybody.
18:02Absolutely.
18:03So, it's not...
18:05Yes.
18:07It's an announcement to the world
18:08that the Sanatan civilization
18:10does not pose a threat to anyone
18:13but is very proud of our roots
18:15and the growth ahead.
18:18You know, I want to understand from you
18:19there's another symbolism
18:20that's very significant.
18:22Prime Minister Narendra Modi
18:23will be interacting
18:25with the Vanchit Samaj
18:30as they are known.
18:31You know, the Lohar,
18:34the Nai, the Mochi,
18:36you know, and so many others
18:38he'll be interacting with.
18:40The Schedule Caste, Schedule Tribe,
18:42OVC, EBC.
18:45How do you look at that interaction
18:47and what is the effort there, sir?
18:49What is the signal there?
18:52You know, you will recall
18:53that the first stone
18:56for laying the Ramjan Bhumi
18:58was laid by a Dalit.
19:04Unheard of
19:05that we asked a Dalit from Bihar
19:10to lay the first stone.
19:13So, Ramjan Bhumi
19:14is Rama, Ramjan Bhumi
19:17and the entire civilizational journey of India
19:21does not discriminate.
19:23And that is what the Prime Minister
19:25is announcing.
19:26What started off with the Dalit
19:28laying the foundation stone
19:29for Rama Temple
19:31and the Prime Minister
19:32is now giving a broader
19:34presentation of it.
19:38And I am extremely happy
19:40the Prime Minister is doing it
19:41because this temple
19:43is not an ordinary temple.
19:45this temple
19:46has reinstated India.
19:49This has made us proud.
19:51This is not just
19:52a place of worship.
19:54It is a place of devotion
19:56to the nation.
19:57It has saved the country.
19:59And so, this Dvaj
20:00is such an important symbol.
20:03And the Prime Minister
20:04is not only symbolizing it
20:07through the programs
20:09he is undertaking
20:10to show
20:11that in this civilization
20:13even the lowest
20:15of low
20:16as people
20:17used to call them
20:18or see them
20:20they have their place.
20:22That is where
20:22Dalit could lay the
20:23foundation stone
20:24of the Ramja Temple.
20:25And in fact
20:30Maryada Purushottam
20:31Sri Ram's life
20:32symbolizes this
20:35throughout
20:35that for him
20:36he was
20:37Maryada Purushottam
20:38Sri Ram
20:39but even when
20:39he was going
20:40into Vanuvas
20:41to cross
20:42Ma Ganga
20:42at Prayag Raj
20:44near Prayag
20:44it was Nishad Raj
20:46Kewad
20:47who helped him
20:48cross.
20:49So, you know
20:49he needed
20:50Nishad Raj
20:51Mata Shabri
20:53you know
20:54she first ate
20:55the berries

28:34Delhi police say the protesters even sprayed pepper spray at officers who asked them to remove the posters.
29:0415 protesters were arrested and produced before the court on Monday.
29:34Hidma's reign of terror is chilling.
29:562010 Dantewada attack, one of the deadliest ambushes on Indian security forces, claimed the life of 76 CRPF personnel.
30:06In 2013, Hidma orchestrated the Jhiram Valley massacre, killing 27 people.
30:13Hidma's terror reign continued with the 2021 Sukhma Bijapur encounter, resulting in the deaths of 22 CRPF jawans before security forces finally cornered him.
30:27The BJP slammed the protest, calling it a display by urban Nagsalandol and GVs and branding it a mockery.
30:37With Delhi choking on smog, the question is clear.
30:42Is this activism or an absolute mockery of the city's crisis?
30:47With Arvind Ojha in New Delhi, Bureau Report, India Today.
30:56The original he-man of the Hindi film industry, Dharmendra, is no more.
31:15Dharmendra was unwell for quite some time.
31:20He had earlier been hospitalized, but recently his condition improved slightly.
31:26His family took him home, where he sadly passed away.
31:30He had a career that spanned over six decades.
31:34The legendary actor.
31:36He could do any role and how.
31:39A great character actor, the fighting hero and the original he-man.
31:45Amazing comedy, great timing and what romance.
31:51Now, his journey was not only superb cinematically, but he was a great human being.
31:58He helped many careers.
32:00He helped many people grow in Mumbai.
32:03We bring you this report on Dharmendra's spectacular journey.
32:08It's hard to imagine Hindi cinema without him.
32:17That smile.
32:20That sparkle in the eyes.
32:22And that old school charm that could melt through the screen.
32:27He was just a young boy from Punjab when he first dreamt of becoming an actor.
32:32It became an open secret that Dharmendra used to walk miles to watch Dilip Kumar films.
32:40A lover of cinema, passionate about acting.
32:44His journey started after he won a magazine talent contest in 1958.
32:49With looks to die for, it wasn't long before filmmakers lined up at his gates.
32:55His early films, Bandini.
33:04Anupama.
33:05My daughter, you brought me here from holiday camp.
33:13Devar.
33:13Satyakam.
33:18Satyakam.
33:27Showed us the sensitive side of a man who could convey heartbreak without saying a word.
33:33Directors loved him not just for his looks
33:45But for that rare sincerity he brought to every frame
33:49Then came Phool or Patthar
33:56The film that changed everything
33:58A reluctant hero
34:05A strong man with a soft hat
34:07It became the defining image of Dharmedra
34:14It also earned him his first film fair nomination for best actor
34:24And set the box office ablaze
34:26That was just the beginning
34:32As what followed was a golden run
34:34That lasted for decades
34:36From films like
34:42Mera Gow Mera Dish
34:44Chugnu
34:53I have two people.
34:54In West, James Bond.
34:56And East, James Bond.
34:58Yadokie Bharat.
35:04To knocker Bivika.
35:07What?
35:09With a red red hair.
35:12Today, you're not going to be a piece of paper.
35:14Don't put it on me.
35:16Nia Zamanah.
35:17We're going to get a piece of paper.
35:19We're going to get a piece of paper.
35:20It's not good.
35:22This is a matter of dying.
35:24Raja Jani
35:26What is happening?
35:27Yes, Baba.
35:29This is something else.

35:49These films made him one of the most bankable stars in Indian cinema.
36:00Many say that he was the ultimate box office star.
36:04And his films earned more money than even Amitabh Bachchan's.
36:09Baba!
36:10What is this?
36:12He wasn't afraid to experiment either.
36:14He played the tough guy who punched villains in Pratigya.
36:19And the sweet professor in Chupke Chupke.
36:26Both with equal conviction.
36:29Okay, okay.
36:30I'll give you money.
36:32Go!
36:33He tickled funny bones in Sita Aur Gita.
36:36Your name is Raka.
36:37I'll give you my hands.
36:39What?
36:40You'll give me my hands.
36:41I'll give you my dad.
36:42I'll give you my dad.
36:44And made sure we teared up watching Hakikat.
36:47No, I won't.
36:48He wasn't just loved by audiences.
36:51He was respected by the industry.
36:54A star who never competed.
36:56But quietly conquered.
36:58Even during the fierce rivalries of the 70s, when Rajesh Khanna was the heartthrob and Amitabh Bachchan, the angry young man, Dharmendra held his ground, charming audiences with grace that's still spoken highly about.
37:21He never hesitated to share the frame with another star.
37:27Whether it was Shole with Amitabh Bachchan.
37:31I had just been warned.
37:32I have told him to be, that's what he's trying to do.
37:33The burning train with Vinod Khanna.
37:37I am going to be on the train.
37:38What is your bus ride for?
37:39What is your bus ride?
37:40What is your bus ride?
37:41How are your bus ride here?
37:42What are you?
37:43I am roadside rouges.
37:44I am making your job.
37:45How are you?
37:46My friends.
37:47Dharmeendr believed cinema was about collaboration, not competition.
37:54Apart from the many awards, honours and trophies, Dharmeendr was honoured with the Padma Bhushan in 2012.
38:07But perhaps his biggest award was the unwavering love of his fans.
38:13He had often spoken about being remembered as a good man, and that's exactly how everyone will talk about him.
38:22Today, as we say goodbye to Dharmeendr, we celebrated the life of a man who gave Indian cinema its soul.
38:31The spotlight may dim, but his warmth, his laughter and that disarming smile they live on forever.
38:41You are truly the heart of Indian cinema, Dharampaji.
38:50Action heroes like Dharmeendr don't just beat up villains and win the damsel in distress's heart.
38:57They also make the world laugh.
38:59Take, for example, the botany professor of Chupke Chupke, the Ghasphoos Ka Doctor.
39:06His effortless comedy.
39:08The perfect charm that Dharmeendr was able to display on screen.
39:13Or the best friend in that movie Shole, who, when drunk, would climb on top of the water tank and deliver those dialogues about Budhia Jail mein Chakki peacing and peacing and peacing.
39:30We get you more in this report.
39:32He wasn't just the he-man of Bollywood.
39:39He was the man with the perfect comic timing.
39:42From his charm, dimples, to his effortless humor.
39:55Dharmeendr proved that behind that macho image beats the heart of a true entertainer.
40:02Long before memes and reels ruled our laughter, it was the witty one-liners of Dharmeendr and hilarious expressions that had the nation in splits.
40:17In Chupke Chupke, directed by Rishikesh Mukherjee, he delivered one of Hindi cinema's most iconic comic performances.
40:35A masterclass in subtle humor and situational comedy.
40:39How can we miss Sita or Gita, where his chemistry with Hema Malini added a fresh flavor of laughter and romance?
41:02Where are you going?
41:03The temple.
41:04The temple?
41:05The temple?
41:06You and the temple?
41:07The temple?
41:08The temple is going!
41:09You too, the temple?
41:11Me and the temple?
41:12What do you want to take from God?
41:15You, you don't have a name.
41:17And of course, Shole, the legendary Viru, funny, flirtatious and fearless became one of Bollywood's most loved characters.
41:29...you, my brother!
41:30The temple!
41:32The temple!
41:33The temple!
41:34You.
41:35Who said this, who?
41:36The temple!
41:37A mother.
41:38A mother!
41:39You!
41:40The temple!
41:41You, you!
41:42The temple!
41:43It was a dream!
41:45When Majnun gave to Leila, he gave to Herk, he gave to Herk, Romeo and Juliet?
41:54Suicide! Suicide!
41:59His chemistry with Amitabh Bachchan gave Hindi cinema some of its most quotable moments.
42:04And his hilarious suicide act on the water tank remains pure gold.
42:09What's the story? Why do you want to suicide?
42:13Don't say it, brother. You will be out of here.
42:18This is a very sad story.
42:21Whereas in Naukar Bivika, his portrayal of a husband juggling multiple identities
42:28led to side-splitting confusion and laugh-out-loud chaos.
42:33But the comic talent of Dharmendra wasn't just limited to blockbusters.
42:57Films like Dillaghi and Pratigya showcased his range.
43:01How did you go from here?
43:03You were supposed to go there. Why didn't you go there?
43:07We'll go soon.
43:10Left! Left! Left! Left!
43:15In each role, his humour was organic, never overdone.
43:20A style that made him stand apart from the loud comedy of the time.
43:25Left! Left! Left! Left! Left! Left! Left! Left! Left! Left! Left!
43:39My father? From Canada. NRI.
43:43Years later, he passed that legacy of laughter to the next generation.
43:48With Yamla Pagla Diwana, a nostalgic laugh-out-loud ride featuring all three deols.
43:55You're so much.
43:57You're so much.
43:58Now, Seema, who will be with the Karmvir?
44:01Who will be with the Karmvir?
44:02But he's still with the Karmvir.
44:04With the Karmvir?
44:07What's he put on the Karmvir?
44:09With the Karmvir?
44:10With the Karmvir?
44:12With the Karmvir?
44:13With the Karmvir?
44:14With the Karmvir?
44:15With the Karmvir?
44:16With the Karmvir?
44:17With the Karmvir?
44:18With the Karmvir?
44:19With the Karmvir?
44:24Decades may pass.
44:26Styles may change.
44:27But his laughter will forever echo through Bollywood.
44:37Reminding us why he'll always be the heart and humour of Hindi cinema.
44:43Listen to you, brother.
44:45He's dead.
44:46He's dead.
44:47He's dead.
44:48He's dead.
44:49He's dead.
44:50That's why we'll kill.
45:00From the cowboy of Chambal.
45:07Bollywood's original prankster to the man who made an entire village stop and stare from
45:13the top of a water tank.
45:20Dharamendra wasn't just a star.
45:22He was a mood.
45:27A mood.
45:28A whole era of Hindi cinema.
45:30Sholee's iconic love confession scene wasn't even in the original script.
45:45Improvised to give Dharamendra his own spectacular moment.
45:48Half drunk, fully dramatic and completely unforgettable.
45:55This is the tank scene that became the soul of Sholee's humour.
46:01And Dharamendra's signature charm.
46:03From drama to comedy, no one taught Hindi like Dharamendra did in Chupke Chupke.
46:20As professor Parimal Tripathi, he turned a simple language lesson into a master class of controlled chaos.
46:40The scene did not just make audience laugh.
46:41It proved Dharamendra could outwit even the sharpest co-stars, with sheer tone.
46:58This scene did not just make audience laugh.
46:59It proved Dharamendra could outwit even the sharpest co-stars, with sheer timing.
47:11Then came the swashbuckling Dharamendra of Dharamveer.
47:24Armor, sword, horse and a presence so powerful, it could carry an entire epic on its shoulders.
47:32Campy, colourful, massive and yet the one thing everyone remembers is Dharamendra himself.
47:55Effortless, heroic, larger than life.
48:00In loafer, Tharmendra traded royalty for street smart swagger.
48:15Whether it was the iconic chase, or his stylish confrontations.
48:20The film gifted fans a different shade of the star.
48:23Raw, witty, unfiltered.
48:26And we returned to Sholi.
48:33Because no Dharamendra compilation is complete without Viru teasing, flirting and fighting for Basanti.
48:43His comic timing with Hema Malini, their romance, their on-screen mischief, all of it became part of India's movie vocabulary.
48:55From a water tank in Ramgarh, to a classroom full of confused students.
49:00Bapin!
49:01From swords, to Shai.
49:02Bapin!
49:03From swords, to Shai.
49:17From action, to absolute absurdity.
49:18Tharmendra carved a place in cinema that no one else could touch.
