Hyderabad, July 31, 2023………”The 9th Nizam of the Asaf Jahi Dynasty, H.E. Raunaq Yar Khan visits “Urs- E- Shareef of Baghdadi Sahebaan” at Darga in Hyderabad on Sunday late evening. It was his first ever official religious attendance at the 101st “Urs- E- Shareef of Baghdadi Sahebaan” on the death centenary of Hazrat Peer Syed Abdur Rahman AKA. Badey Baghdadi, Qibla RA (At Darga in Hyd.)

The royal Nizam family used to seek his blessings even to consolidate their crown, inviting him to inaugurate ceremonies.

The Asaf Jah VI, Highness Mir Mahboob Ali Khan used to welcome Hazrat where the carpet spread for his arrival would be immediately taken and stored respectfully so that it would not be tread on by others thereafter.

The very sought-after revered Janab Sayed Mahmood Husaini Qadri Al Rafai, Sadat Peer Baghdadi, the grandson and sajjada nashin of Qitte Salheen, the organiser of the present 101st Urs event says he is delighted and honoured to have His Highness Mir Mahboob Ali Khan’s blood descendant and great-grandson, the 9th Nizam head of the Asaf Jahi dynasty as a special visitor.

The 9th Head of the Asaf Jah family, Raunaq Yar Khan says, it’s an honour and pleasure to be received in reciprocation by Pir Baghdadi in continuation of the tradition of his great grandfather, the 6th Nizam with this being his first ever visit here to further bonds.

Says Mr Zubair Khan, an associate of Pir, it’s also very significant that after being appointed the 9th Nizam of the Dynasty, it’s H.H.’s first religious outing and attendance at a place of faith. That is, his first visit after he was anointed at the “Qaja ka Chilla”(another place of faith of Nizams) before his formal coronation by a huge majority of his royal family at a religious ceremony adjacent, over lunch.

Badey Pir Baghdadi memorized the Quran at age nine and mastered theology & Islamic Jurisprudence thereafter. At age 17 he earned the turban that symbolized high learning. Beyond his being the progeny of the prophet, his asceticism & piety gained widespread recognition.

Hazrat Badey Baghdadi left this mortal world on the 10th Muharram, year 1344 Hijira at the age of 63. He was buried at ‘Qita Saliheen’ in Nampally, Hyderabad. Thereon, every year his “Urs” (annual death anniversary) has and will be held, inshallah from the 10th to 12th Muharram. Hordes of dignitaries across the spectrum thronged the place on this Urs day to seek blessings from Peer Sadat Bagdadi.

Hyderabad, July 31, 2023 … .Globalart organized ‘KOLOR CHAMP 2023, ’ a Unique Art Competition in the city on Sunday at Satya Sai Nigamagamam in Srinagar Colony.

The competition was formally inaugurated by Mr Dinesh Victor, MD of SIP Academy, who is one of the names to reckon with in India on the subject of Skills Development in children and championing that cause.

450 young children, in the age groups of 5 to 15 years competed in the 5th Regional Competition of ‘Kolor Camp 2023’. The participants of this competition will go on to compete nationally, in a nationwide competition to be held later in the year. This competition was held physically after a gap of four years.

The theme of the contest “My Happiest Day at School” was announced on the spot. Children depending on their age group and category were supposed to imagine the theme and draw a painting or an artistic imagination in one hour forty-five minutes to 2 hours forty-five minutes.

Responding to the theme, Archana, a participant said, I can’t imagine one day. All days of my school life are the happiest days, she added and I have communicated the same she said.

Friends, sports, fun, learning and bagless days make me happy at School, said Akash.

Addressing kids on the occasion immediately after inaugurating it, Dinesh Victor said, Art teaches kids the most important quality of being patient. One should have the patience to see complete art. Unfortunately, the current generation doesn’t have patience. They look for instant results, he said. Patience improves kids’ ability to accept setbacks and enjoy life much more. “Good things come to those who wait, he said.

Poker Magnet Advocates for the Growth of the Gaming Industry and Empowerment of Youth

poker--Online-Log

Gurugram, 21st, July 2023– Amid, Indian gaming companies and associations have requested the government to review its recent decision on GST, Poker Magnet, an online poker platform, is challenging the recently imposed 28% Goods and Services Tax (GST) on online gaming in India.

The imposition of a 28% GST on online gaming sends a discouraging message to the industry, stifling its growth and innovation. As a result, the gaming community, which consists of millions of passionate gamers, developers, and content creators, faces significant challenges in continuing to provide engaging experiences and contribute to the cultural and economic fabric of our nation.
The gaming industry has witnessed exponential growth in recent years, transcending traditional boundaries and becoming an integral part of mainstream entertainment. It has emerged as a dynamic sector, fostering creativity, technological advancements, and economic opportunities. By defying the 28% GST, Poker Magnet seeks to preserve this momentum and nurture an environment that encourages innovation, investment, and job creation.

Furthermore, we are deeply concerned about the impact of this tax on the youth, who form a substantial part of the gaming community. Gaming has proven to be a platform that promotes critical thinking, problem-solving skills, teamwork, and creativity among young individuals. It acts as an outlet for expression and fosters social connections in a digitally connected world.
According to the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), the decision to impose 28% GST on “the full face value of the consideration instead of just the platform fee” will harm India’s digital economy and online gaming industry. The Indian online skill gaming sector has an enterprise value of $20 billion and there are at least 30-40 million poker players and up to 300 million card game players online. They further asserted that the sector is projected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30% to reach $5 billion by 2025.

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in the career aspirations of students from top business schools, as an increasing number are gravitating towards poker as a viable and enticing career option. This growing trend is not merely a fluke but a reflection of the unique allure, intellectual challenge, and potential for success that poker offers.

One key factor contributing to the attraction of poker as a career is the level playing field it offers. In the realm of poker, academic qualifications, pedigree, and social background take a backseat to raw talent, dedication, and the ability to read and outwit opponents. It provides a meritocratic environment where anyone with the necessary skills and mindset can thrive and succeed, irrespective of their background or connections.

Another driving force behind this career shift is the potential for financial success that poker offers. For those with a strong understanding of probabilities, the ability to analyze situations, and a disciplined approach to bankroll management, poker can offer a pathway to financial freedom and independence.

By burdening online gaming with a hefty 28% GST, we risk limiting the accessibility of these empowering experiences to the youth, many of whom may not be able to afford the increased costs. This not only hampers their personal growth but also inhibits the potential for nurturing the next generation of skilled professionals in the gaming industry.

According to Mr. Rahul Bhatia, Founder Poker Magnet and Poker Enthusiast, the imposition of a 28 percent GST on online gaming is a misguided decision that threatens to hinder the growth of an industry that has become a beacon of creativity, innovation, and opportunity. Gaming, in all its forms, has transcended from mere entertainment to a platform that nurtures critical skills and ignites the passions of millions worldwide. By defying this regressive tax measure, we stand united in our commitment to protecting the future of gaming and preserving the dreams of the youth who find solace, inspiration, and purpose within this dynamic and evolving landscape. It is imperative that we champion the recognition of gaming as an industry driven by skill, ingenuity, and dedication, rather than undermining its potential through burdensome taxation. Together, we must foster an environment that fosters responsible gaming practices, encourages creativity, and supports the aspirations of those who dare to envision a brighter future through gaming.

We strongly urge the relevant authorities to reconsider this decision and collaborate with industry stakeholders to develop a more balanced and inclusive taxation structure. We propose constructive dialogues and comprehensive studies to accurately assess the impact of taxation on the gaming industry, taking into account its potential for job creation, revenue generation, and youth development.

About Poker Magnet:

Established in 2016, Poker Magnet is a new-age digital gaming company that aims to transform the online poker industry in India.

The Present head of Asaf Jahi family personally attending Pooja and blessing us in taking care of our patients is an honour for us, she said. The Nawab came along with Sri. Suman our large-hearted film star who is a regular at our Pooja.

It is not out of the place to mention here that Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) is named after its founder – the 7th Nizam of Hyderabad, thus it becomes special seeing his family members visiting the festival a secular message too, to remind of the past brotherhood of communities.

In 1951, The Nizam not only started the construction of Nizam Orthopedic Hospital (now known as Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS)) and gave it to the government on a 99-year lease for a monthly rent of just Rs.1 which is probably due to some legality which constrained him from offering it as a gift to the public.

NIMS was constituted with the object of creating a centre of excellence in Research, Training and Patient care in Super Specialities. Institute has achieved its objectives and achieved distinction in all spheres during the past five years.

Around the same time, he had also donated 14,000 acres (5,700 ha) of land from his personal estate to Vinobha Bhave’s Bhoodan movement for redistribution among landless farmers.
