Ram Dutt Joshi

Ram Dutt Joshi (16 November 1916 - 26 December 1976) was an Indian Bishop of the United Methodist Church, elected in 1968. He was born in Dwarahat in the Kumaon Hills of northern India. Prior to his election to the Episcopacy, Joshi served with distinction as a Pastor, District Superintendent, Seminary Professor, and Educational Secretary.

Joshi was elected a Bishop by the Southern Asia Central Conference of the U.M. Church. He was assigned to the Bombay Episcopal Area. A biographer says he “was a thoughtful man, with a gift for analyzing situations. In dialogue groups he was noted for his calm, pertinent contributions. He was broad in his sympathies and fully devoted to seeing the church in India fulfill its destiny.”[citation needed]

Bishop Joshi died at the time of the Central Conference meeting in Lucknow.

चर्चित टीवी सीरियल ऑफिस-ऑफिस के शुक्ला जी यानि  संजय मिश्र ने कुमाऊं से नाता जोड़ लिया है। वह सोमवार को सुदूर डीडीहाट निवासी किरन पंत से परिणय सूत्र में बंध गए। उन्होंने भीमताल के पौराणिक भीमेश्वर महादेव मंदिर में सादगी के साथ किरन के साथ सात फेरे लिये। इस मौके पर मौजूद उनके अजीज दोस्त इसी सीरियल के पांडे जी यानि हेमंत पांडे ने इस विवाह को संपन्न कराने में अहम भूमिका अदा की है।

श्री पांडे ने अपनी प्रतिक्रिया में कहा कि विवाह तो ऊपर वाले की मर्जी पर निर्भर है लेकिन हम लोग इसके संवाहक बन  जाते हैं। पूरी तरह से अरेंज मैरेज रही इस शादी के मौके पर किरन के पिता महेश पंत, भाई पत्रकार संजू पंत समेत कई टीवी कलाकार व पत्रकार बिरादरी के लोग शामिल हुए।

श्री मिश्र के साथ उनके नोएडा  स्थित घर से मां व अन्य परिजन इस विवाह समारोह के गवाह बने।  पिथौरागढ़ से एमए कर चुकी किरन कुछ समय पहले तक दिल्ली में नौकरी कर चुकी हैं। वर्तमान में वह अपने परिवार के साथ डीडीहाट में रह रही थीं।

Abbas Tyabji - Mussoorie
« Reply #52 on: July 23, 2010, 10:34:46 AM »
Source - www.hindustantimes.com
 
I don’t know if many people have heard of a man from Uttarakhand called Paripurnanand Pinauli. I certainly had not. One morning, he came to my office to invite me to join hands with him and his friends to resurrect the memory of one of the forgotten heroes of the freedom movement and the Mahatma’s close friend, Abbas Tyabji. Pinauli, a freedom fighter and former MP, with some friends including Salman Khurshid, Minister of State for Minority Affairs, had located the grave of Tyabji in Mussoorie, where it lay in ruins. They had vowed to restore it and Southwood, Tyabji’s home, where Gandhi, Nehru and Azad often visited.

 
As a boy, Tyabji was sent to Britain for his education. He returned to practise at the Baroda High Court and rose to become its Chief Justice. He was known and respected for his impartiality while dealing with cases. In 1919, after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The Indian National Congress appointed him the chairman of a fact-finding committee. He cross-examined hundreds of witnesses and victims and their depositions made him cut off all links with Western elitism and become a lifelong comrade of Gandhi.
 
When Gandhi was arrested in Dandi, Tyabji was given the charge of the next phase of the Salt Satyagraha. On May 7, 1930, he launched the Dharasna Satyagraha. Gandhi wrote in his autobiography that it was under Tyabji’s influence that Gujarat accepted the non-cooperation movement even before the Congress did.
 
The most striking photograph of Tyabji is in the book Sulaimanis: Lives less Ordinary by Zafar Saifullah, where he is sitting with friends under a tree and playing the sitar. It is this much-splendoured personality that is resurrected by the Uttarakhand Freedom Fighters’ Association and Abbas Tyabji Trust. At a time when the polarisation between Hindus and Muslims is widening, we should join Pinauli and Khurshid in their endeavours to fulfil the dream of resurrecting the vision of Tyabji.
