Celebrating 207 Years of Velour at Koregoan Bhima



    The 207th Shaurya Din, or Velour Day, is being celebrated at Koregoan Bhima. This historic event marks the British victory over the Peshwa forces in 1818. The gathering has attracted an estimated 8 to 10 lakh attendees, eager to honour the Mahar soldiers who played a very important role in this triumph. The Koregaon Bhima Vijaystambh, or Victory Pillar, stands as a testament to this battle.

The Significance of Shaurya Din

    Shaurya Din is observed annually on January 1. It commemorates the Battle of Koregaon Bhima, which occurred in 1818. The event has evolved into a major celebration of Dalit pride and resistance. This day is marked by large gatherings, paying tribute to the sacrifices of the soldiers involved in the battle.

The Battle of Koregaon Bhima

    The Battle of Koregaon Bhima was fought on January 1, 1818. British forces, supported by Mahar soldiers, faced off against the Peshwa army. The Mahar soldiers’ bravery contributed to the British victory. Following the battle, the British erected the Vijay Pillar to commemorate the event, which has become a symbol of pride for the Dalit community.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s Influence

    Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar visited the Victory Pillar on January 1, 1927. His visit marked a very important moment in the recognition of the battle’s significance. Ambedkar’s advocacy for social justice and equality has since linked the event to the Dalit movement. His followers celebrate this day as a reminder of their struggle against oppression.

The Gathering at Koregaon Bhima

    Each year, the gathering at Koregaon Bhima grows larger. People from across Maharashtra and beyond come to pay their respects. The celebrations include offerings of flowers and prayers at the Victory Pillar. This annual event serves not only as a remembrance of the battle but also as a platform for social and political expression.

Ongoing Relevance of the Event

    The Shaurya Din celebrations reflect the ongoing relevance of the Battle of Koregoan Bhima. The event embodies the themes of equality, justice, and remembrance. It serves as an inspiration for future generations. The gathering marks the enduring legacy of the Mahar soldiers and their role in shaping India’s social fabric.

Tuning forks in space: a final pure "tone" may reveal interior of neutron stars

Tuning forks in space: a final pure "tone" may reveal interior of neutron stars      FRANKFURT. Neutron stars , with a mass greater than that of the entire solar system confined within a nearly perfect sphere just a dozen kilometers in diameter, are among the most fascinating astrophysical objects known to humankind. Yet, the extreme conditions in their interiors make their composition and structure highly uncertain. The collision of two neutron stars, such as the one observed in 2017, provides a unique opportunity to uncover these mysteries . As binary neutron stars inspiral for millions of years, they emit gravitational waves, but the most intense emission occurs at and just milliseconds after the moment of merging. The post-merger remnant – a massive, rapidly rotating object formed by the collision – emits gravitational waves in a strong but narrow frequency range. This signal holds crucial information about the so-called " equation of state " of nuclear matter,...

Fraunhofer HHI experts underscore the value of XAI in Geosciences

Fraunhofer HHI experts underscore the value of XAI in Geosciences      AI offers unparalleled opportunities for analyzing data and solving complex and nonlinear problems in geoscience . However, as the complexity of an AI model increases, its interpretability may decrease. In safety-critical situations, such as disasters, the lack of understanding of how a model works — and the resulting lack of trust in its results — can hinder its implementation.      XAI methods address this challenge by providing insights into AI systems, identifying data- or model-related issues. For instance, XAI can detect ‘false’ correlations in training data — correlations irrelevant to the AI system’s specific task that may distort results.      “Trust is crucial to the adoption of AI. XAI acts as a magnifying lens, enabling researchers, policymakers , and security specialists to analyze data through the ‘eyes’ of the model so that dominant prediction strategies ...

Study results open door to heart failure treatment with 'heart patch’

Study results open door to heart failure treatment with 'heart patch’           The BioVAT-HF-DZHK20 clinical trial is currently investigating a unique approach to address the unmet medical need in patients with advanced heart failure. Implantation of a tissue engineered heart patch, called engineered heart muscle (EHM), is developed to repair the failing heart. The EHM patch is a lab-grown heart muscle made up of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived heart cells embedded in a collagen hydrogel . The foundation for the translation into clinical testing was established by simulation of the clinical treatment in rhesus macaques. The EHM patch is currently the only technology that allows safe and efficacious delivery with long-term retention of cardiomyocytes in the heart.      An interdisciplinary team led by Professor Wolfram-Hubertus Zimmermann, director of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University Medical Center (UM...
