A new 5 pound coin to commemorate the life and legacy of Mahatma Gandhi was unveiled by Chancellor Rishi Sunak to mark the Hindu festival of Diwali. Available in a range of standards, including gold and silver, the special collectors' coin was designed by Heena Glover and features an image of a lotus, India's national flower, alongside one of Gandhi's most famous quotes -- "My life is my message". Building on the enduring relationship and cultural connections between the UK and India, it is the first time that Gandhi has been commemorated on an official UK coin with the final design chosen by Sunak, who is the Master of the Mint. "This coin is a fitting tribute to an influential leader who inspired millions of people around the world," he said. "As a practicing Hindu, I am proud to unveil this coin during Diwali. Mahatma Gandhi was instrumental in the movement for Indian independence and it is fantastic to have a UK coin commemorating his remarkable life for the first time." The coin, which goes on sale, is part of the Royal Mint's wider Diwali collection, which includes 1g and 5g gold bars in henna-style packaging, and the UK's first gold bar depicting Lakshmi -- the Hindu Goddess of wealth. The 20g gold Lakshmi bar was designed in partnership with the Hindu community in South Wales, where the Royal Mint is based. The Mint will join the celebrations at the Shree Swaminarayan Temple in Cardiff, where worshippers will offer prayers to goddess Lakshmi and lord Ganesha for the coming year. Chief Customer Officer for The Royal Mint, Nicola Howell, said: "As we approach Diwali celebrations, we are delighted to unveil the first official UK coin commemorating the life and legacy of Mahatma Gandhi. The beautiful design builds on the enduring relationship and cultural connections between the UK and India." The announcement comes as India is celebrating its 75th year of Independence this year. Last year, the Chancellor commissioned the new "Diversity Built Britain" 50p coin following discussion with the 'We Too Built Britain' campaign, which works for fair representation of minority communities' contributions across all walks of life. Around 10 million of the coins, which recognise and celebrate Britain's diverse history, went into circulation in October 2020.

(BYJU'S) takes us behind the scenes and walks us through the conceptualisation and execution process of the campaign.</li></ul>It is no secret that COVID-19 has had a severe impact on our collective mental health. We are feeling alone, overwhelmed with the spike in cases, and have been living with the constant fear that someone close to us or someone we know might succumb to the virus, for the past 1.5 years. With each passing day, it gets a little difficult to hold onto hope for a better tomorrow. If the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi were alive today, when we are faced with multi-layered crises such as global pandemic, climate crisis, economic recession, to name a few, he would have encouraged Indian citizens to manifest values of self-discipline, perseverance, and self-sufficiency. He would have walked with our urban migrants back to their homes, reminded us to stay united from a distance, used his mighty pen to send the message of resilience, thank doctors and environmental activists for their phenomenal work and lead the country towards the path of empathy and togetherness. On the occasion of <keyword id="791333" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mahatma-Gandhi-Jayanti" source="Orion">Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti</keyword>, EdTech Giant BYJU’s wanted to remind us that while the leader might not be with us today, he has taught us some invaluable lessons. Acted and voiced-over by the veteran actor Padma Shri Manoj Kumar, BYJU’S film applauds four individuals from different walks of life who have personified Gandhi’s ideals and brought about a change in society. The campaign celebrates Jamuna Tuddu, a Padma Shri awardee who has over the years fought the jungle mafia and given a lease of life to 100+ acre of forests; Sapan Patralekh, headmaster of a school in Jharkhand, who ensured that the learning journey for tribal kids did not suffer due to the closure of class rooms post the pandemic. He transformed village walls into colorful open classrooms; Dr Ganesh Rakh, who delivers girl child for free in his hospital; Kameshwar Wagmare, a 14-year-old kid who saved 2 of 3 kids from drowning. He received the Pradhan Mantri, Rashtriya Bal Puraskar 2021 for the courageous act. <div type="Youtube" id="gTAd5kwP8ok" title="Bapu Ki Aawaz (Celebrating The Mahatma) | (Ft. Padma Shri Manoj Kumar)" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gTAd5kwP8ok/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Vineet Singh, Vice President, Brand &amp; Creative StrategyThink &amp; Learn Pvt. Ltd. (BYJU'S) took us behind the scenes and walked us through the conceptualisation and execution process of the campaign. He shared, “The thought came from the fact that we really wanted to celebrate Baapu and we wanted to celebrate him with real life stories and how, while the whole world is talking about how humanity is dead, and people are not selfless anymore, we wanted to actually go out and celebrate that Baapu's belief of selflessness is still alive.” In a country of 138 crore people that is home to a lot of different cultures and traditions, and almost all of these cultures believe in celebrating empathy and selflessness, it was challenging for BYJU’s to find just four people who truly embody Gandhiji’s values. Telling us how the in-house team finalised their campaign’s protagonists, Singh said, “We wanted to cover a few facets that currently are troubling us across the country. Look at how the environment is suffering -- it's a conversation that everyone's having across the globe. Padmashree Jamuna Tuddu was an example who exists in our society and has worked towards saving 100 plus acres of forest in her region, but her message travels across the country. Then, we wanted to honor people who are doing something for the girl child. As a country, we are developing and we are getting to a place where men and women are getting equal as the day progresses, but little efforts like what Dr. Ganesh Rakh has done, is making that dream come true. After the pandemic, all schools were shut down in cities, and imagine what happened in remote Tribal Areas. So, we wanted to cover how people went out of their way there to bring alive education and Dr. Sapan was a great story. And finally, just an act of selflessness and bravery -- a 14-year -old kid jumping into the water because he saw two other young boys drowning. So, the reason why we chose these 4 people was because their stories were extremely fascinating, had a huge amount of thought and selflessness associated with it.” Singh recently joined BYJU’s from <keyword id="4052133" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="wework-india" source="Orion">WeWork India</keyword>. In his new role, he is hoping to help BYJU’s become the most loved edtech brand in India. His latest campaign with his team is just a part of many campaigns that would aim to position BYJU’s India’s most loved brand. Sharing his larger vision for the brand, he said, “The objective is to become one of the most loved brands in the country. And that's going to be the objective for this fiscal year, or the next fiscal year or any other fiscal year that we talk about until we get there.” CREDITS: Featured Stories: Dr. Sapan Kumar Patralekh, Dr. Ganesh Rakh, Padma Shri Jamuna Tudu and Kameshwar Waghmare Actor: Padma Shri Manoj Kumar Child Actor: Aashna Vaishnav &amp; Vidhaan Sharma Concept: Hitesh Bhagia (Sr. Director – Brand &amp; Creative Strategy, BYJU’S) Production: Hitesh Theodore Pereira (Principal Director - Media, BYJU’S) Directed By: Sonal Batra Production House: Dora Digs Produced By: Akshay Shah Team Dora Digs: Muskan Singhal, Vikas Malhotra, Suraj Shinde, Prathamesh Kamble, Vipul Mehta, Tushar Haware, Jitendra Kumar, Rohit Tiwari, Dinesh Malvi DOP: Jay Charola Editor: Falgun Busa Screenplay: Geet Sagar Music Director: Anand Bajpai Associate Producer: Sebastian Francis Line Producer: Dilip Sahoo &amp; Team Chief AD: Ayan Poddar &amp; Ardra Swaroop DI: Yash Soni

A massive Diwali-Dussehra celebration festival showcasing the best of Indian culture, heritage, and values in an unparalleled manner has attracted a record-breaking crowd of more than 10,000 persons from all walks of life and ethnicities here in <keyword id="15710" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="texas" source="Orion">Texas</keyword>. The 11th Grand International Diwali-Dussehra Festival, depicting the "victory of good over evil", at Constellation Field in Sugar Land, a Greater <keyword id="100821" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="houston" source="Orion">Houston</keyword> suburb, was attended by several dignitaries, including US congressmen, judges, mayors, and commissioners on Saturday. Organised by the Shri Sita Ram Foundation (SSRF), a non-profit organisation, the epic celebration from 2012 onwards has grown tremendously over the years and continues to attract more attendees across Texas and other states every year. The foundation finds innovative and unique ways to share Indian Vedic culture and values. Last year it initiated efforts to highlight Diwali's message of "Good Over Evil" by involving consul generals of 15 countries in the Dussehra parade. This year, Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent in a video message, with Houston Mayor <keyword id="3691420" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="sylvester-turner" source="Orion">Sylvester Turner</keyword> being the Grand Marshal along with consul generals of several countries joining for the Dussehra parade. The football stadium was brilliantly transformed and decorated with millions of dazzling multi-coloured lights, lit-up main entrance gates, and colourful silk-draped vendor booths. The ceilings and walls of the concourse and field were decorated with traditional banners, flags, hangings, and pictures of several deities. The vendor booths did a brisk business in selling traditional Diwali items, including Diwali diyas, jewellery, fashion clothing, and toys. A "food bazaar" served vegetarian food from every part of <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword>. This festival had special attractions for children like henna booths, face painting, balloons, moonwalks, merry-go-rounds, a petting zoo, horse buggy rides, clowns, etc. Performances like folk dances, martial arts of India, and kids in costumes of the characters from the scriptures were presented on a two-tiered 60 ft. by 40 ft. stage, with professionally installed stage lights, special effects, and huge LED screens adding a wow factor for the audience. A 24-foot-tall figure of lord Hanuman and a 35-foot-tall figure of Lord Ram was installed next to the stage. A play in English depicting the life of lord Rama and his final battle to overcome evil kept the audience glued to their seats till the end, earning a standing ovation. Arun Verma, president of SSRF, said: "India is a country of festivals and Diwali being the biggest of all festivals, we try to introduce, educate, promote and showcase the rich vibrant culture and moral value to the Indian diaspora and all Americans, while celebrating the 'Victory of Good over Evil' and 'Universal Brotherhood'." "We bring the best of the best and do it on a grand scale. You name it, and we have it over here." The festival is "open to anybody" as it also includes aspects of American culture, according to Verma. "Our belief is that the entire world is one big family and we need to treat everybody like a brother and a sister. To demonstrate that, we have invited every one of them," he said. "Looking at the overwhelming response this year and the record crowd, we may have to take this festival to an even bigger location than this football field with the capacity of 10,000 spectators" as we had to stop people from entering after it crossed the maximum capacity due to city restraints, he told PTI. The Sugar Land festival, which Verma said is the biggest of its kind in Texas, combines the two Hindu holidays of Diwali and Dussehra. The festival featured a unique multi-coloured magnificent parade with 40 floats by local temples and community organisations representing scenes, stories, and characters from Indian scriptures. Mayor <keyword id="169084" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="turner" source="Orion">Turner</keyword>, who was the Grand Marshal, lead the parade alongside the Consul General of India in Houston, Aseem Mahajan, the Consulate General of France in Houston, Valerie Baraba, Indian American Fort Bend County Judge, K P George, as well as several representatives of the Texas Congressmen and other official dignitaries. The parade included representatives of the nearly 100 consul generals in Houston who represent several foreign countries. Valerie Baraban said in a tweet that she was "thrilled to participate in the Grand 11th International Diwali-Dussehra festival alongside Mayor Sylvester Turner, CG Mahajan, and other members of the consular corps. India is one of France's major partners in the Indo-pacific region". This year's festival also celebrated the 75th anniversary of India's independence "Amrit Mahotsav". Fifteen major freedom fighters such as Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, and Subhash Chander Bose were honoured by carrying 75 Indian flags during the parade. "The entire Houston Consular Corp. joined the celebrations in the true spirit of Vasudeva Kumtumbkam, thus treating the entire world as a big family. This was depicted in the parade by 100 volunteers carrying 100 national flags of the entire Houston Consular Corp," Verma said. As November elections are around the corner, a few political candidates like Beto O'Rourke, who is running for Texas Governor position, found the stage to greet Indian Americans. Wishing everyone Diwali, he said, adding that "we celebrate this festival of lights to push out darkness and celebrate the triumph of good over evil", with each of us having a chance to "make sure we are heard in this great democracy". The Ravan Dahan, the burning of a 25-foot-tall effigy of Ravan, Kumbhakaran, and Meghnath, was held amongst the loud sound of crackers and spectacular fireworks to celebrate the occasion of the "Victory of Good Over Evil".

<ul><li>Brands often leverage the occasion of Independence Day to mull over pertinent questions such as freedom from gender discrimination or plastic pollution.</li><li>With Independence Day around the corner, we look back at campaigns from the past five years that nudged us to question the status quo or took us down the memory lane.</li><li>So, here’s to the past that made us and the future in the making.</li></ul>Every year on 15th August, India celebrates its independence. This earmarked day brings along an opportunity to reminisce over our past, remember the struggles of our forefathers, be grateful for today and set new goals for the future. As India completes its 75th year of independence, the levels of pride and excitement is high across the country. This year, brands have united to bring our attention to issues that we are still not independent from like racism, gender inequality, ignorance and power play, that we encounter everyday and choose to ignore. They are also using this opportunity to thank our frontline warriors, who have held the country on their shoulders for the past two years. Tricolor is already splashed all over the digital media with patriotic gusto riding through people’s hearts. Last year, the theme for Independence Day 2020 celebrations was 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' or self-reliant India. As a result, brands dedicated 2020’s Independence Day to our indigenous artisans and karigars who have been affected due to the pandemic and health workers’ resilient spirit. This year, the theme of Independence Day celebrations will be 'Nation First, Always First.’ We bring to you a list of advertisements from the past five years that celebrate the heroic sacrifices of our armed forces to tales of unity today: Tata Tea | 2021 TATA Tea Premium celebrates this Independence Day by bringing out a unique <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/deshkakulhad?__eep__=6&amp;__cft__%5b0%5d=AZX1hEgfv7TRbIexWSPxxUMn5vkbLYu_DwjWCPnzxisjYWTgqZ9lBKAktvBvCbZ2eh7UOVA-wuj8R9e9GMmM3fWDJ-mCAULDLtP0mb8QXeQboHNiXqTKvs9hfMq1jwTTRQsNrivPHRZKiagHhn-VAVu7SDSVvd2gtwmjBgx-wPJZnw&amp;__tn__=*NK-y-R">#DeshKaKulhad</a> collection in partnership with Rare Planet - a startup that promotes the work of local Indian artisans. The proceeds of the sale of these exquisite hand painted Kulhads will help to lend support to the artisan community that has been severely impacted by the current times. <div type="Youtube" id="VlKZgxB53r0" title="Desh Ka Kulhad – Celebrating India’s rich diversity | Extended" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VlKZgxB53r0/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Cadbury Unity Bar 2020 In 2020, Mondelez India’s special limited-edition Cadbury Unity Bar caught everyone’s attention. This very special Cadbury bar – a combination of dark, blended, milk and white chocolate united in one bar, epitomized the common sweetness that defines us in India, even during the not so sweet and difficult times. It celebrates our Unity in Adversity – showcasing the inherent sweetness in every Indian that has united us during these tough times. <div type="image" title="Product shot - Cadbury Unity Bar" msid="85273725" hostid="261"></div> Tata Salt | 2020 Tata Salt urges the nation to unite with the same fiery patriotism as shown during the Indian Independence movement to take efforts in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. The spirit is brought alive through an emotional digital film using the premise of the original poem, ‘Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna’ by Ramprasad Bismal, featuring a veteran of the 1971 war. The brand appeals to the nation to employ healthy practices such as wearing a mask, washing hands and maintaining social distance. <div type="Youtube" id="9Rb429CNELs" title="A Retd. LT.

It came up with an action rather than a solution to evoke the sense of urgency and seriousness amongst the audience. They took examples from everyday life like racism, gender inequality, disrespectful behaviour towards women that we encounter and choose to ignore. It’s not the actions we blame, but also the mindset we carry. <div type="Youtube" id="HUgFTKGsh7Q" title="#InTheNameOfLiberty" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HUgFTKGsh7Q/mqdefault.jpg"></div> United Colours of Benetton | 2019 This campaign showcases how a simple act of compassion and mutual understanding can allow a nation as diverse as India, to co-exist in harmony and peace. <div type="Youtube" id="G2kMVgMzEzI" title="#UnitedByHarmony" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/G2kMVgMzEzI/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Bajaj Allianz | 2018 Created by WATConsult, the campaign expresses a ‘special emotion’ of freedom embraced by the LGBTQAI+ community on Independence Day. The video highlights this community coming together, cherishing and celebrating their true freedom to love, highlighting the sentiment of Independence Day that resonates with every Indian. <div type="Youtube" id="kg8GABxUOpM" title="Pyaar Ki Azaadi - An Independence Day Film" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kg8GABxUOpM/mqdefault.jpg"></div> United Colours of Benetton | 2018 This social experiment #UnitedByHope, featured older India where people talk about the importance of religion and the importance of accessories associated with religion like kada (bangle), pagdi (turban), rosary, burkha etc and compares it with younger India. It highlighted how kids can subtly lead the older generation along the path of unity irrespective of religion or caste, and slowly but surely paving the way for a united future. <div type="Youtube" id="fNOpZvXI8eM" title="#UnitedByHope: A social experiment conducted in India" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fNOpZvXI8eM/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Vivo | 2018 Made by advertising agency Bang in the Middle, the video features a young woman driving on a highway when her car breaks down. It portrays her innate fear of being around unknown men at an odd hour of the night. The subtle message embedded in the film is revealed at the end. Even a harmless helping hand induces apprehension in an Indian woman instead of a sense of comfort. With this campaign, Vivo asked an important question: do women feel safe in today’s Independent India? <div type="Youtube" id="BIFjHEJa954" title="Happy Independence Night" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BIFjHEJa954/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Parle G | 2018 The digital campaign was created by an agency called Thought Blurb, and was marketed under the hashtag ‘#YouAreMyParleG’. The emotionally provoking film not only details on the real-life life of Ankit Singh behind enemy lines but also gives sentimental insights about his familial ties. The micro-movie ends with the message that some people turn into the whole nation’s packet of Parle-G. The final message makes a fitting end that also encapsulates the spirit of the hashtag ‘#YouAreMyParleG’. <div type="Youtube" id="yPgpLV9VIcU" title="Parle-G | Armed Forces Film" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yPgpLV9VIcU/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Airtel | 2018 Two days before India’s 72nd Independence Day, Airtel India gave the country a new rendition of our beloved national anthem <div type="Youtube" id="vH1jLzINhqY" title="EXCLUSIVE: National Anthem by Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Amaan &amp; Ayaan Ali Bangash" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vH1jLzINhqY/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Bajaj Avenger | 2017 On the occasion of Independence day, Bajaj Avengers released their communication titled #RideyourIndependence which equates freedom of our country with women liberation. It ends with a powerful message from Mahatma Gandhi, ‘The day a woman can walk freely on the roads at night, that day we can say that India has achieved independence’. The film had clocked more than 7.2 million views on YouTube in less than 24 hours. <div type="Youtube" id="BtPpnOKDo4g" title="#RideYourIndependence - Bajaj Avenger Independence day Film" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BtPpnOKDo4g/mqdefault.jpg"></div> iD Fresh Foods | 2017 This campaign intended to spread awareness around the plight of the families of our army martyrs, encouraging the public to pledge their support to the well-being of these families.
