JAMMU: SC Morcha J&K BJP, led by its President Dharminder Kumar, celebrated the 628th birth anniversary of revered Sant Kabir Das with devotion and enthusiasm at the party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.

J&K BJP President and Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) Sat Sharma was the chief guest on the occasion. He was joined by BJP Vice-President Rakesh Mahajan, Yuva Morcha President Arun Prabhat, Spokesperson Dr. Haridutt Shishu, Morcha Seh Prabhari Jagdish Bhagat, former MLA Kuldeep Raj, Former DDC vice chairperson Sangeeta Bhagat, former DDCs Balbir Lal, & Vidya Motan, Karan Attri, Rajkumar Bhagat, Seema Devi, Manohar Lal Bhagat, RL Kaith, Lokesh Bhagat, Rakesh Dev, Guldev Raj Bhagat, BR Rao, Hans Raj Loria, RL Kaith, ML Menia, Nagesh Kumar, Sumit Nargotra, and a large number of BJP and SC Morcha leaders and activists.

Sat Sharma, paying floral tributes to Sant Kabir, said that the great saint's timeless philosophy continues to illuminate the path towards an inclusive, progressive and harmonious society. He said that Sant Kabir fearlessly challenged social discrimination, hypocrisy and divisions, inspiring generations to uphold equality, truth and compassion.

"At a time when society was deeply divided, Sant Kabir boldly proclaimed the oneness of humanity. His teachings remind us that a person's worth is determined by character, service and righteousness, not by caste, creed or social status. His message is as relevant today as it was centuries ago and serves as a guiding force for building a united, strong and socially just India," Sat Sharma said.

Dharminder Kumar, welcoming the dignitaries, described Sant Kabir as a spiritual reformer who awakened society through simplicity, humility and unwavering devotion to truth. He said Kabir's teachings encourage people to rise above prejudice, reject social evils and embrace selfless service, honesty and moral values.

Dharminder Kumar said that Sant Kabir taught everybody that the Divine resides in every heart and that humanity is the highest religion. He said that Kabir ji’s ideals inspire us to strengthen social harmony, empower the weaker sections of society and work collectively for an India rooted in justice, equality and cultural values. SC Morcha General Secretary Rahul Hans conducted the proceedings of the programme.

In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory · Dr. Priya Ranjan

When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.

Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soul—humble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.

For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan. IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
