Africa Day 2023 - Message from Seychelles Mission in India

On the 25th of May 2023, as we commemorate Africa Day, we celebrate the incredible diversity, unity, and profound heritage of our continent.

Africa Day serves as a potent reminder of the resilience and unyielding spirit of our people, a testament to our shared journey from the birth of the Organisation of African Unity, now known as the African Union, towards peace and prosperity.

This year's theme, 'Accelerating the Implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to Bring Greater Prosperity to the Continent', underscores our commitment to driving a brighter future through economic integration.  The AfCFTA, poised to become the world's largest free trade area, promises to catalyse sustainable economic growth, diversify our economies, and generate much-needed employment opportunities.

As we progress with the implementation of the AfCFTA, let us reaffirm our collective commitment to ensuring that its benefits are felt in every corner of our continent. Our joint efforts across sectors, regions, and nations are crucial in this endeavour. We must ensure that no country is left behind and that the promise of prosperity extends to each and every citizen.

In this context, it is essential to acknowledge the extent of the bilateral cooperation between Africa and India, a partnership that has significantly grown over the years. Our collaborative initiatives with Indian institutions, such as the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), have proven to be mutually beneficial, fostering growth and development in numerous sectors. We deeply appreciate the commitment demonstrated by the CII in nurturing stronger ties, promoting innovation, and facilitating sustainable development across Africa. We have no doubt that the forthcoming CII Exim Bank - India Africa Conclave scheduled to be held on 14th-16th June 2023 where we shall ensure productive participation will be crowned with full of success for the benefits of all stakeholders. 

This Africa Day 2023, let us continue to uphold our shared values of peace, justice, and democracy, with a focus always on the well-being of our people. 

Our rich cultural diversity is a powerful tool that binds us together and fuels our determination to create a more prosperous and inclusive continent.

Let us renew our commitment this Africa Day to a collective future of hope, unity, and prosperity. Through the AfCFTA, we have an unparalleled opportunity to rewrite our economic narrative and forge a path to widespread prosperity. Together, we can create a future that echoes the limitless potential of Africa and its people.

Happy Africa Day to everyone! 

Here's to the progress we have made, the relationships we have nurtured, and the promising journey that lies ahead. 

Long live Africa!

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...

On July 11th, the Honourable Supreme Court went against the Modi Government's decision by annulling Enforcement Directorate Chief Sanjay Mishra's extension. The Supreme Court bench rendered Sanjay Mishra's tenure extension illegal because it went against their previous verdict.
