  • Modi Govt reviving India’s cultural heritage: Sat Sharma 

JAMMU: Sat Sharma CA, President, BJP Jammu & Kashmir and Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha), released the book “Fostering of Hindutva in J&K: Historical and Cultural Perspective” at the BJP headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. The book is authored by S.K. Sharma, Former Commissioner of Income Tax and Co-Convener of the Nanaji Deshmukh Library and Documentation Centre.

The programme was attended by senior party leaders including Vice-President Rekha Mahajan, General Secretaries Baldev Singh Billawaria and Gopal Mahajan, Media Incharge Dr. Pardeep Mahotra, All Cell Incharge Ved Sharma, District President Naresh Singh Jasrotia, Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, Department of Library Incharge Prof. Kulbhushan Mohtra, and other senior functionaries.

Speaking on the occasion, Sat Sharma described books as the “civilizational memory and intellectual conscience of society,” emphasizing that literature has the enduring power to shape generations and define the course of nations. He lauded the BJP’s Library Department for building a rich repository of rare and valuable works that document ideological, cultural, and historical narratives. He said that such initiatives are instrumental in preserving the intellectual heritage of Jammu & Kashmir and strengthening the foundation of nationalist thought.

While lauding the author for intensive efforts, Sat Sharma further highlighted that the book offers a comprehensive perspective on the historical and cultural evolution of the region and will serve as a guiding light for the youth to understand their civilizational roots. He underscored that Hindutva represents not merely a belief system but a broader cultural and geographical identity that has historically unified diverse communities of the region.

Acknowledging the leadership of Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, Sat Sharma said that under the Modi Government, unprecedented efforts have been made to revive, preserve, and promote the rich cultural and historical legacy of Jammu & Kashmir along with the entire nation. He noted that initiatives aimed at restoring heritage sites, promoting indigenous traditions, and strengthening national integration reflect the government’s commitment to cultural renaissance.

Author S.K. Sharma, while speaking about his work, stated that the book conveys a message of unity and geographical integration, urging the younger generation to remain connected to their roots and to collectively contribute towards a stronger and culturally integrated nation.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
