ब्रह्मेश्वर नाथ पाण्डेय: बलिया के विस्मृत बागी क्रांतिकारी

बलिया , उत्तर प्रदेश की वह वीरभूमि जो स्वतंत्रता आंदोलन के समय अपने बगावती तेवरों के लिए जानी जाती थी। इस भूमि ने न जाने कितने क्रांतिकारियों को जन्म दिया, लेकिन कुछ ऐसे नाम भी हैं जो समय की धूल में खो गए। ब्रह्मेश्वर नाथ पाण्डेय , जिन्हें लोग  झूलन जी  के नाम से जानते थे, ऐसे ही एक विस्मृत योद्धा थे, जिनकी गाथा आज फिर से सामने लाना जरूरी है। ब्रह्मेश्वर नाथ पाण्डेय सिर्फ़ क्रांतिकारी नहीं थे, वे एक  प्रखर चिंतक ,  सामाजिक न्याय के पक्षधर , और  अंग्रेज़ी भाषा के विशेषज्ञ  थे। उनकी अंग्रेज़ी इतनी प्रभावशाली थी कि उस दौर के  DM और SP भी उनसे बहस करने से कतराते थे । बलिया के लोग बताते हैं कि जब किसी को सरकारी समस्या होती थी, तो वे झूलन जी का हस्तलिखित पत्र लेकर अधिकारी के पास जाते और तुरंत सुनवाई होती।  यह उस युग में अभूतपूर्व सामाजिक प्रभाव का संकेत है , जब आम जनता और अफसरों के बीच गहरी दूरी हुआ करती थी। झूलन जी ने  बलिया के कांग्रेस सेवा दल के कप्तान  के रूप में युवाओं को संगठित किया। 1936-37 के आंदोलनों में उन्होंने नेतृत्व किया और ...

Journey from Mahindra Bolero Neo to MG Windsor EV Pro

 Shifted from a Diesel to an EV in 2026 By: Utkarsh Pandey   VS I owned a Mahindra Bolero Neo 2021 model since it was launched. Since 2008 I continuously had diesel vehicles. There was hardly any phase when I owned a car running on any fuel other than diesel. Bolero Neo is generally not considered as a family SUV rather it is robust, rough, tall and powerful vehicle, after being upgraded from TUV 3OO, it had better stability with its tougher suspension. It is not a complete 7 seater yet it's jump seats are very useful since we had to take decision of buying vehicle considering our fifth member, who is a ~8 years old German Shepherd.  We drove it around 65000 kms, it was the only car which lasted for more than 4 and a half years with us and driven passionately around norther plains to plateaus of Jharkhand. It is the best compact SUV in its segment with RWD, that too starting under 10 Lakhs for its N4 model. All those who owns it won't deny the fact of feeling the vibe of ...

Tata Sierra First Impression

Tata Sierra 2025 – My Review By: Utkarsh Pandey Hello everyone, today I visited BR Tata Motors (BR Autoventure) at Crescent Mall. The aim was to explore the newly launched Tata Sierra and understand its real-world appeal in the compact–mid size SUV segment. Segment & Dimensions Tata Sierra sits in the compact / mid-size SUV (small family SUV) segment. It follows a 5-door, 5-seater layout with a high driving position and rugged yet modern styling. Length: 4340 mm Width: 1841 mm Height: 1715 mm Wheelbase: 2730 mm Despite competing with vehicles like the Creta or Alcazar on paper, the Sierra feels noticeably different. The cabin feels airy, wide, and confidence-inspiring, rather than just another familiar SUV layout. Sunroof & Cabin Ambience The Sierra offers the largest sunroof in its segment . Although the display vehicle had a low battery and couldn’t demonstrate it fully, the openness it adds to the ...
