The countdown for 2016 starts and we are all set to welcome the new year in style. Before making an entry to 2016, let’s rewind 2015 and refresh our memory. Let’s see 11 things that happened in India in 2015.
Obama’s visit to India
Obama becomes first US president to grace Republic Day Ceremony, India on January 26th. This set a strong base for the relationship between India and US. It was a paradigm shift and a proud moment for Indians. We saw a time when Obama declined VISA for our prime minister and the way times has changed for India is incredible.
Atal Bihari facilitated with Bharath Ratna
It’s never too late but the most deserved personality for the prestigious Bharath Ratna award. Atal Ji influenced so many lives in the country as the honest politician, profound poet and a marvellous Orator. Today, he is not well but aren’t we missing his speeches in assembly?
Save the Internet Campaign
On 12th April, Indians sent over 1.5 lakh email to TRAI for net neutrality and proved that public is king in the democracy. This campaign went viral in Social media and the good part is that we came to know many unknown things about the networks who gonna take an advantage of the Internet growing population in India.
A Bill on Transgender rights
On 25th April, Rajyasabha passed a bill in favour of Transgenders in the country. The bill guarantees the reservation in education and jobs, financial aid and inclusions. This was a bold step taken by the RS in the last 45 years. A perfect instance to say that ‘ India is changing ‘.
The first International Yoga Day
21st June 2015 witnessed the first International Yoga Day under the leadership of India. The whole world came in a union to celebrate Yoga Day there by spreading the wellness among people. Thanks to our prime minister.
The launch of Digital India Programme by our Prime minister
An initiative by GOI to increase the digital literacy. The programme ensures that Government facilities are available to citizens thereby increasing internet connectivity in the country and the drastic improvement of online infrastructure.
The demise of Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam
The former President of India and an eminent scientist Abdul Kalam left us on July 27th, 2015. The Biggest loss to the country and India salutes to one of the humble human beings that this world has ever witnessed.
IISC debuts world university ranking
On 12th, November IISC debuts in top 100 world university ranking in the Times Higher education ranking for engineering and technology. A new beginning.
Start-ups Hawa
We saw Rahul Yadav sacked from his own start-up Housing. Zomato went for advertising in the porn websites and involvement of biggies in the start-ups and more. A boom period for all the aspiring entrepreneurs to start. The market is expected to consolidate in the coming years.
Chennai Floods
The saddest part of 2015 is the Chennai floods. The city drowned in the water and we saw many lives drenched away in the flow of natural trauma. Later, the way the rest part of the country came for rescue proved that humanity still exists in the world.
Intolerance flame burning the fame of country
Social media went mad and viral when a Bollywood actor Aamir Khan commented that he don’t feel safe in the country and named India as intolerant. We saw the intense criticisms from the fellow parts and Shahrukh khan has to pay heavily during the time of his movie release ‘ Dilwale ‘ for making a similar kind of statement about intolerance.
