In a surprising move, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has declared plans to relocate the Prime Meridian, the global reference for time, from Greenwich, England, to Ujjain. Yadav aims to challenge "westernization" and revive an ancient Hindu belief that Ujjain was once India’s central meridian.
Yadav refers to an ancient Hindu belief that Ujjain determined India’s time zones and differences, challenging the convention set in 1884 that recognized Greenwich as the Prime Meridian.
The CM plans to collaborate with scientific minds, including researchers from IIT and IIM, to correct the world's time. He envisions Prime Minister Narendra Modi presenting this initiative internationally.
Yadav claims neighboring countries like China, Pakistan, and Afghanistan support India's role in deciding standard time, though there is no evidence to support this.
Yadav advocates for prioritizing the Hindu calendar (Vikram Samvat) over the globally accepted Gregorian calendar, citing the need to recognize ancient knowledge.
The CM criticizes western education, praising the New Education Policy as a rectification of Macaulay’s 1835 education policy. Opposition expresses confusion over the focus on these matters in the state assembly.
Mohan Yadav's unconventional proposals raise eyebrows, emphasizing a departure from established global norms.
