National Celebration of
1st Jan. - Education Day & Vijay Diwas
3rd Jan. - Teachers Day ( Gyanjyoti, Krantijyoti Savitribai Phooley Jayanti )
AIMBSCS has decided to celebrate 1st January as “ Education Day “ because it was on this day in 1848CE that Mahatma Phooley started Education Movement for imparting Education to all. Till 1st Jan 1848 there was only ‘ class education’ in India due to injunction & penal provisions of the shruti & smritis, which permitted only traivarniks learning and denied the shudras & varnabahays ( dalits,Tribals, DT/NTs ) education and holding offices of power. Thus the (a) dharmasahstras ensured complete ‘slavery’ of the shudras & varnabahays.
To abolish this inhuman & unjust slavery of the varnashram dharma Mahatma Jyotiba Phooley open 1st school for Shudra, Atishudra in Bhidewada, Pune, India. Thus started the movement of Education to all. Phooleys effort for ‘mass education’ became the pioneering steps of social revolution against the brahmnical social order (bso).
Not only He imparted ‘mass education’ but also Education to women. Thus Savitribai Phooley after completing her education took on the mission of Education to all and became the 1st lady teacher of Modern India. Not only so she also became the 1st Lady Principle and is perhaps the 1st women in Public life. Thus began the ‘Gender Movement’ of modern India.
We emphatically think that she is an ‘ideal teacher’ of India not only being 1st Women Teacher but also the 1st who is pioneer of Mass Education or Education To All. Thus the Sangh [ AIMBSCS] has declared 3rd Jan. As “ Teachers Day”.
It is also pertinent to note here that on 1st Jan 1818CE 500 Mahar soldiers[1 Mang also] fighting on behalf of British Army defeated an 25000 strong army of peshwas who ended Maratha rule of Shivaji’s ancestors and governed on the basis of varnashram dharma making both shudra & untouchable suffer under this inhuman, unjust, exploitative system of caste & untouchability. The Mahar soldiers heroically battled with sense of Justice & freedom and paved way for the struggle of ‘Modern India’ by putting end to the orthodox & unjust Peshwa rule. Thus we observe 1st Jan as ‘Vijay Diwas’- salutes to these soldiers of Equality & freedom.
History is proof to the fact that after the defeat of the brahmnical peshwas, the so called brahmins never constructed any foul (a) dharmashastra and Balambhati is the last scripture written during the same period of defeat. None after that.
