Over 700,000 people officially signed up globally and more than 100 Indian businesses took part.

2^nd February 2023 — Veganuary, the global organisation encouraging people to try vegan in January and beyond, has again broken all previous records and welcomed more participants than ever before. 706,695 people officially signed-up from nearly every country in the world. Only Vatican City and North Korea (where the internet is banned) are missing from the official list of participants for 2023. India broke its last year’s record with more than 90,000 sign ups this year.

The campaign’s social media presence also continues to grow around the world with #Veganuary now having more than 1.9 million posts on Instagram and over 300 million people engaging with Veganuary’s international social media channels in January 2023. The movement’s popularity in India has been driven partly through the 10 Indian Ambassadors and supporters from the fields of movies, professional sports, fitness, mountaineering and professional chefs.

Corporate participation has also seen a surge in 2023, with the number of Indian businesses taking part in Veganuary doubling from the previous year. Major national brands, retailers, and restaurants, including BigBasket, Nature’s Basket, Swiggy Instamart, Baskin Robbins, Wingreens World, and many more joined Veganuary by introducing new products, promotions, and special menu items, while creating specialized marketing campaigns for plant-based products.

Mohit Khattar, CEO, Graviss Foods Pvt Ltd. Said “Baskin Robbins has always aimed to give its consumers the very best in indulgence. For its Vegan consumers, this includes the option to enjoy plant based and dairy free (vegan) versions of popular Baskin Robbins flavours! Veganism is becoming popular day by day and Baskin Robbins is excited to celebrate with its vegan consumers through participation in Veganuary.”

Amrut Mehta, Director of Little Italy said “I am proud to partner with Veganuary this year, as I believe this platform will inspire people to try vegan to protect the planet and improve human health. Indians are finally ready for veganism, and technological advancements have eased the introduction of new products. At Little Italy, being a vegetarian brand the next step for us was to have a vegan menu and now that it’s finally being well-accepted in India that’s great news for everyone. Making the pizza feel cheesier with vegan cheese or making pasta creamier using a plant-based alternative was a challenge. However, we saw the fruits of labour when even our non-vegan customers began adopting and loving the vegan menu.”

To enable people to take part in the campaign in ways that suit their lifestyle in an ever-changing world, Veganuary launched two new platforms for public participation this year – a 31-day YouTube series providing helpful tips and advice, and the weekly Veganuary Podcast featuring celebrity chefs, actors, and vegan influencers.

Reflecting on the success of the 2023 campaign, Veganuary’s India head Prashanth Vishwanath says: “Indians are clearly convinced about the multiple advantages of a vegan diet, and have given it a shot in record numbers. Veganuary understands the science of behaviour change, and its fun, engaging approach has helped people explore plant-based foods. We have been successful in creating a favourable ecosystem for anyone trying vegan by partnering with businesses, workplaces, and influencers to raise awareness and make vegan foods more accessible”

First launched in the UK in January 2014, Veganuary has been increasing its global reach for several years; opening offices in the US, Germany and Chile in 2019; Argentina and Brazil in 2020; and India in 2021. Official Veganuary campaigns also take place in Italy, France, Switzerland, South Africa, Australia, Singapore, and Mexico in collaboration with local organizations. Veganuary’s five-year strategy envisions the campaign expanding into ten more countries by 2027.

Charlotte, North Carolina/Chandigarh Sep 28, 2022

A Sikh student on the campus of University of North Carolina Charlotte had to face harassment last week. He was handcuffed and detained merely for wearing a kirpan — a Sikh article of faith.

Such mistreatment of a Sikh student and gross ignorance displayed by the 76-year-old university about Sikhism shocked the Sikh community around the world. Sikhs have been part of the American social fabric for over a century. People on social media questioned the lack of understanding about Sikhism at the university, known for taking pride in its diversity.

UNITED SIKHS applauded the quick response from the university — as Chancellor Dr. Sharon L. Gaber issued an apology on the university website. We had written to the Dean of Students, Dr. Christine Reed Davis, seeking an apology for the misconduct that had taken place with Aman Singh. The apology from the Chancellor stated that they will use the incident “as a learning opportunity by engaging in constructive dialogue with Sikh students and employees”.  It also stated that they “apologize”, that the student didn’t feel “welcomed, supported and safe” that day, as they wanted every student to feel so, further adding that they are “committed to ensuring it doesn’t happen again.”

UNITED SIKHS shared with them a Sikhism Fact Sheet. We also offered to provide sensitivity-training to the university staff and security, about Sikhism and Sikh articles of faith.

“Despite curt behavior by the police on the campus, Aman Singh was graceful, resilient and showed leadership — everyone should practice their faith freely and fearlessly,” Manvinder Singh, UNITED SIKHS Advocacy Director said.

“All institutions, particularly, universities that attract students and staff from around the world must have a mandate to sensitize students and staff about Sikhism and other world religions, cultures and traditions. It is essential to create a culture of co-existence to prevent incidents of racism and misconduct with students and members of any community,” he stated.

We appreciate the efforts of Sikh organizations around the world for raising their voice in this case and lending support to Aman Singh.

Everyone should be able to practice their faith freely and without fear. If you face harassment and discrimination because of your faith, please write to us.

This World Tourism Day, Art collector Parvez Damania and Ratan Luth bring to you a fabulous photographic capture of the Pandharpur Wari through the lens of some of India’s most acclaimed photographers titled ‘The Great Pilgrimage- Pandharpur’

The Pandharpur Wari boasts of an 800-year-old tradition of faith with over a million pilgrims or Warkaris travelling every year on the onset of monsoon for over 21 days on foot to reach the Vithoba temple.  One witnesses men in Gandhi caps, women in colourful saris with tulsi pots on their heads, gallant horses leading the dindis,  saffron flags, palkis,  the devout sound of veena, mridanga, dholki and chipli, the energy of the fugdi – the beauty of simple people travelling after sowing the seeds for the season  dancing and singing their way to Pandharpur on foot braving the sun and the rains in joy to meet Lord Panduranga.

This flow of humanity in an unparalleled pilgrimage that breaks the barriers of caste, creed, rich and poor, may have been covered in parts but never in its entirety by photojournalists.

Art collectors Parvez Damania and Ratan Luth bring to you a fabulous photographic capture of the Pandharpur Wari through the lens of some of India’s most acclaimed photographers titled ‘The Great Pilgrimage – Pandharpur’.

“The Wari is one of the most ancient and powerful pilgrimages on Earth. I travelled the Wari a few years back and brought home the mesmeric moments. They haunted my mind and I spoke to Ratan Luth and together we got a team of the best photographers, and walked with the photographers on foot for ten days to capture the essence of the Wari,” elaborates Parvez Damania.

Revered photojournalist Padma Shri Sudharak Olwe, ace Lensmen Shantanu Das, Mahesh Lonkar, Pubarun Basu, Mukund Parke, Saurabh Bhatikar, Dr. Sawan Gandhi, Pranav Deo, Rahul Godse and Dhaneshwar Vidya, along with Prof Nitin Joshi, Deepak Bhosle and Shivam Harmalkar from Symbiosis University formed the team that captured these timeless moments of faith, legend, history and tradition of the Warikars in their frozen frames. The Ministry of Tourism, Government of Maharashtra joined hands to make this leap of faith possible.

The 21-day Padyatra is no easy journey and the yatra to capture the Warkaris’ leap of faith was no easy journey either. “The colourful adventure made each of us mentally strong and fearless but the images that allowed real emotions to come through with the absence of posing and in available light have created an amazing photodocumentary that captures people living every moment,” elaborates Damania.

‘The Great Pilgrimage – Pandharpur’, curated by Parvez Damania and Ratan Luth in association with the Directorate of Tourism, Government of Maharashtra, is on at the Piramal Gallery of Photography as an Art Form, NCPA, from September 28- 30, 10am to 8pm. The launch will be on World Tourism Day, September 27 evening at the gallery.

अटल सम्मान के टाइटल सांग को यहां सुनाया गया जिसे सभी ने खूब पसंद किया। बी एन तिवारी ने भी आर्यन मिश्रा को ढेर सारी शुभकामनाएं दीं और इस गीत को बेहद प्रेरणादायक बताया। पद्मश्री से सम्मानित सोमा घोष ने इस खूबसूरत गीत के लांच के अवसर पर कहा कि आर्यन मिश्रा ने बेहद सुंदर कांसेप्ट के साथ यह अटल सम्मान का टाइटल गीत प्रोड्यूस और डायरेक्ट किया है। संगीतकार दिलीप सेन ने बखूबी संगीत से सजाया है लता हया की लेखनी में कमाल नजर आता है और इस छोटी सी उम्र में गुरुग्राम से पधारे सत्यम उपाध्याय ने बेमिसाल रूप से गाया है।

बॉलीवुड में उस सपने को पूरा करने की कोशिश कर रही ढेरों अभिनेत्रियों के बीच प्रतिस्पर्धा के बारे में, एक बेफिक्र विनी ने कहा कि हर क्षेत्र में प्रतिस्पर्धा है। “जितनी अधिक प्रतिस्पर्धा होती है, आप अपने लक्ष्य को प्राप्त करने के लिए उतनी कड़ी मेहनत करना चाहते हैं। आप युद्ध के मैदान से भाग नहीं सकते,” विनी ने आत्मविश्वास के साथ कहा, जो पहले से ही दो अच्छे म्युज़िक वीडियो में काम कर चुकी है, तू धूप मैं धुआँ और यु बेकरारी। वह नियमित कैटलॉग और प्रिंट शूट एड् करती हैं।

नियमित कसरत और ध्यान के साथ विनी एक पूर्ण फिटनेस फ्रिक हैं। सुंदरता और बहुमुखी प्रतिभा के लिए माधुरी दीक्षित उनकी पसंदीदा अभिनेत्री हैं “जो किसी भी तरह की भूमिका में फिट हो सकती हैं।”

अपने पसंदीदा रेस्टोरेंट के बारे मे विनी का कहना है कि यह पॉप टेट्स, 7 बंगले मे भोजन और माहौल अच्छा होता है।

सीआईडी सीरियल फेम एक्टर शिवाजी साटम और आदित्य श्रीवास्तव भी गेस्ट के रूप में रहे उपस्थित

एक दुनिया एक धर्म का संदेश देती है फ़िल्म, पूरी दुनिया से बॉर्डर हटा दिए जाएं : राजेश कराटे गुरुजी की अनोखी सोच

आज दुनिया में धर्म के नाम पर जो कुछ हो रहा है, हर तरफ उसकी चर्चा है। इसी संवेदनशील विषय पर निर्माता राजेश कराटे गुरुजी एक हिंदी फिल्म “द क्रिएटर” लेकर आ रहे हैं जिसका जबरदस्त पोस्टर मुम्बई के रेड बल्ब स्टूडियो में लांच किया गया। जहां निर्माता निर्देशक के साथ फ़िल्म में मुख्य भूमिका निभा रहे सीआईडी फेम दयानन्द शेट्टी भी मौजूद थे। इस अवसर पर दयानंद शेट्टी के दोस्त सीआईडी सीरियल से जुड़े एक्टर शिवाजी साटम और आदित्य श्रीवास्तव भी गेस्ट के रूप में उपस्थित रहे। निर्माता राजेश कराटे गुरुजी, लेखक निर्देशक प्रवीण हिंगोनिया के अलावा  इस मौके पर एक्टर शाजी चौधरी, एलिजा सहगल और बुशरा शेख भी मौजूद थीं। फ़िल्म द क्रिएटर का यहां केक कटिंग भी किया गया।

इस फ़िल्म मे दयानंद शेट्टी,आर्या बब्बर, अनंत महादेवन, रोहित चौधरी, भुवनेश मैम, जश्न कोहली, हिमानी साहनी, एलिजा सहगल, बुशरा शेख, श्रुति उल्फत, गुरदीप कोहली, रज़ा मुराद, ज्ञान प्रकाश, प्रमोद माऊथो, शाजी चौधरी और संजय स्वराज जैसे मंझे हुए कलाकारों ने अभिनय किया है।

निर्माता राजेश कराटे गुरुजी ने कहा  कि पिछले दस साल से मैं आध्यात्मिक हूँ। मेरे मन के अंदर से यह विचार आया कि दुनिया मे यह क्या हो रहा है। तब मैने एक दुनिया एक मजहब अर्थात इंसानियत के धर्म के बारे में सोचना शुरू किया। आज देखिए, मजहब के नाम पर नफरत और हिंसा हो रही है, मेरी यह फ़िल्म द क्रिएटर शांति, प्रेम की बात करती है। मैंने ऐसी कल्पना की कि अगर पूरे विश्व मे कोई धर्म ही न हो, दुनिया मे कहीं कोई बॉर्डर न हो तो इंसान का जीवन कितना खुशहाल होगा।

सीरियल सीआईडी में दया के रोल में ऎक्टर दयानंद शेट्टी को सभी जानते हैं। जब भी दया का नाम लिया जाता है तो सीबीआई अधिकारी की तस्वीर नजर आती है और ‘दरवाजा तोड़ दो, दया’ डायलॉग ज़ेहन में आता है। दयानंद शेट्टी ने फ़िल्म द क्रिएटर में एक वैज्ञानिक का किरदार अदा किया है जिसमें उनका लुक, बॉडी लैंगुएज भी काफी अलग है। दयानन्द शेट्टी ने बताया कि मैं पहली बार इस फ़िल्म में नासा में काम करने वाले एक साइंटिस्ट का रोल निभा रहा हूं। इस किरदार के लिए मुझे बहुत ज्यादा होमवर्क करना पड़ा है। फ़िल्म में मेरे किरदार के परिवार के साथ कुछ ऐसा हादसा हो जाता है, जिसके बाद वह बुरी तरह टूट और बिखर जाता है। उसी दौरान वह एक आध्यात्मिक गुरु से मिलता है और उसके बाद उसका एक नया सफर आरम्भ होता है।

दयानंद शेट्टी ने आगे बताया कि इस फ़िल्म में आज के समाज की सच्चाई को पेश किया जा रहा है। 2022 में यह फ़िल्म प्रासंगिक है। यह फ़िल्म यही कहती है कि हम आपस मे भेदभाव न करें।

ऎक्ट्रेस एलिजा सहगल ने बताया कि इस फ़िल्म में एक क्रिश्चियन लड़की का रोल मैंने प्ले किया है। दूसरे धर्म से सम्बन्ध रखने वाले के साथ प्यार और शादी को लेकर हमारा समाज आज भी स्टीरियोटाइप है। फ़िल्म द क्रिएटर इस बारे में है कि तमाम इंसानों का क्रिएटर एक ही है। फिर हमने इसे जाति धर्म मे क्यों बांटा है। मैं फ़िल्म के निर्माता राजेश कराटे गुरुजी, निर्देशक और पूरी टीम का शुक्रिया अदा करती हूं। इस फ़िल्म में एक बेहतर मैसेज है।

निर्देशक प्रवीण हिंगोनिया ने बताया कि यह फ़िल्म शांति प्रेम को बढ़ावा देने वाली फिल्म है। मानवता से बड़ा कोई धर्म नही होता है, यह पिक्चर इसी सन्देश को सारी दुनिया मे पहुंचाना चाहती है। इंसान को आज़ाद पंछी की तरह होना चाहिए, ताकि वह सारी दुनिया मे बेरोक टोक जा सके।

एक्टर शाजी चौधरी ने कहा कि जिसने दुनिया रची है वह क्रिएटर एक ही है। फिर हमने इसे कई धर्मों में क्यों विभाजित किया है। विश्व मे कोई सरहद न हो, कोइ पासपोर्ट, कोई वीजा न हो, कोई युद्ध न हो, इस मैसेज को अधिक से अधिक लोगो तक पहुंचाएं।

ऎक्ट्रेस बुशरा शेख ने बताया कि इस फ़िल्म के कुछ सीन मेरे जीवन मे घटी कुछ घटना की याद दिला देते हैं।  इस किरदार को अदा करने में मैं कई जगह काफी इमोशनल हुई हूँ। एक सीन में मैं रो रही थी ऐसी ही घटना 14 साल की उम्र में मेरे साथ रियल लाइफ में हुई थी। एक लड़के को मैं चाहती थी, उसने मुझे छोड़ दिया था और मैंने जहर खा लिया था, मैं अस्पताल में थी लेकिन वह लड़का एक दिन भी न आया। ऐसा ही एक सीन इस फ़िल्म में है जब मेरा बॉयफ्रेंड अजय अस्पताल में था तो मैं वही दर्द महसूस कर रही थी।

बारिश के इस सुहाने मौसम में म्यूज़िक वीडियो ‘अब की बरसात में’ जल्द ही लोगों के दिलों पर राज करने आ रहा है. इस गाने की शूटिंग हाल ही में मुम्बई के मड इलाके में एक्मे विला में पूरी हुई.

H & K म्यूज़िक लेबल के तहत निर्माता हरीश शर्मा द्वारा निर्मित इस गाने में अभिनेता आकाश जग्गा और अपर्णा की जोड़ी एक दूसरे के साथ रोमांस करती नज़र आएगी. इस गाने को अपनी समधुर आवाज़ दी है अमन त्रिखा ने और इस गाने को संगीतबद्ध करने के अलावा इस गाने के बोल प्रवीण भारद्वाज ने लिखे हैं. म्यूज़िक वीडियो को ख़ूबसूरती के साथ शूट करने का ज़िम्मा निर्देशक आर. राजा ने निभाया है.

इस मौके पर कम्पोज़र और गीतकार प्रवीण भारद्वाज ने कहा, “H & K म्यूज़िक की कोशिश है कि हम साफ़-सुथरा संगीत लोगों के लिए पेश करें, जिसमें किसी भी तरह की कोई अश्लीलता ना हो. आगे भी हमारी यही कोशिश रहेगी. आज की तारीख़ में हम म्यूज़िक इंडस्ट्री के सभी बड़े सिंगर्स के साथ काम कर रहे हैं. ये हमारा वादा है कि हम लोगों को कर्णप्रिय और मधुर संगीत पेश करते रहेंगे और उतने ही ख़ूबसूरत म्यूज़िक वीडियोज़ भी बनाएं.” प्रवीण भारद्वाज ने आगे कहा कि हमारा नया गाना भी यकीनन लोगों को बहुत पसंद आएगा.”

‘अब की बरसात में’ के गायक अमन त्रिखा ने गाने के बारे में बात करते हुए कहा, ‘इस गाने में संगीत का शोर कम और जज़्बात ज़्यादा हैं. यह गाना आपको 90 के दशक के गानों की याद दिलायेगा, जब लिरिक्स और गायकी पर ज़्यादा ज़ोर हुआ करता था. बारिश के मौसम में बारिश का हमारा ये रोमांटिक गाना आपको एक अलग ही दुनिया में ले जाएगा.”

उल्लेखनीय है कि H & K म्यूज़िक द्वारा जल्द रिलीज़ किये जानेवाले चौथे गाने ‘उड़ उड़ जाए चुनरी’ में जानी-मानी स्टेज परफॉर्मर मीनू राज ठाकुर अपना जलवा दिखाती नज़र आएंगी. मीनू राज ठाकुर की पहचान एक बेहद उम्दा डांसर और एक उत्तर भारत में एक बेहतरीन स्टेज परफॉर्म के तौर पर होती है.

Several well known artists have come forward to exhibit their works in this event to contribute towards the grassroot programmes in areas of education, health and community development.

Charity Show – ART  WITH CAUSE  an exhibition to support a Social Cause in Jehangir Art Gallery

The Cine and TV Artistes Association (CINTAA) is one of the leading and most recognized associations for the performers community in India and an affiliate of the International Federation of Actors (FIA). The members present on the dais were Darshan Jariwala (Vice President), Amit Behl (Hon General Secretary), Rajeshwari Sachdev (Sr. Joint Secretary), Abhay Bhargava (Treasurer) Sanjay Bhatia (Joint Secretary) along with other EC members Tina Ghai, Jaya Bhattacharya, Hetal Parmar, Ravi Jhankal, Deepak Qazir, Rashid Mehta, Ghanshyam Srivastav and Vikas Verma.

A tribute was given to deceased CINTAA members Siddharth Shukla, Ghanshyam Nayak, Arvind Trivedi, Nitin Malhotra, Baldev Trehan, Madhavi Gogate-Barve, Mushtaq Merchant, Arun Verma, Ramesh Deo, Sanjay Kumar, Ajay Kumar Sharma, Akash Nath, Shiv Subramaniam, Manju Singh, Arun Khanna and Salim Ghouse.

Pankaj Dheer, Chairman of Cine Artists Welfare Trust shared the good news of the receipt of the final occupancy certificate of the CINTAA Tower building. He also added that work was on to create a state-of-the-art Auditorium and a cafeteria besides other amenities. The bid was to generate maximum revenue from the building and lease, and the rentals would be for the welfare and well-being of CINTAA members, he divulged.

During the course of the meeting, nearly an hour was spent answering a volley of questions raised by CINTAA members. From casting issues, to non-timely payments to actors, from health and safety to hygiene protocols, substandard food served on the sets to lack of transport facilities, each grievance was taken up by the Hon Gen Secretary Amit Behl in the most honest and healthy manner, ensuring that the executive committee’s recognition of the multiple challenges endured by actors was felt by the members and that they shall spare no effort to iron out the glitches. He also categorically stated that unity is strength and that the association must put up a collective fight.

While CINTAA have always approached the Channels, Producers’ Association and producers to find ways to mitigate the troubles of their members, there have not been too many encouraging responses. The association stays committed to fight every issue. OTT is a growing platform for actors to get work and though CINTAA under its governing laws cannot function as a casting agent, they will certainly explore options as a facilitator. They also mentioned that CINTAA is ready to fight for residuals and royalties for their members.

Reaching out to the Government be it I & B, Labour, Cultural or even Finance would be an ongoing process, soliciting support and assistance from FIA would be an added effort. Since CINTAA has an MOU with FWICE they will also take FWICE’s support on joint and common issues.

The Annual General Meeting approved all of the resolutions on the agenda.

Veteran actors Anil Dhawan, Aron Bali, Kiran Kumar, Pankaj Dheer, Ratna Pathak Shah, Smita Jayekar, Neena Kulkarni, Anita Kanwal, honoured with The CINTAA Hall of Fame Awards at the CINTAA AGM
