00:00Next speaker Mrs. Sudha Murthy
00:03This is your maiden speech madam
00:07Madam this is your maiden speech
00:14Okay, it's not made in so you speak
00:30When I have to start I don't know
00:35Respected respected vice-chairman, this is my first speech it may not be maiden
00:44How much time do I have sir?
00:47Five minutes
00:51I'm not a politician
00:53And I do not know how to talk
00:56English for against none thing there of them. I have been chosen by the
01:00nominated by
01:02President of India, I am really grateful to her and of course our Prime Minister who announced my name on
01:108th of March which is a woman's day as a Nari Shakti
01:14I always work for poor and I'm always on the field so my experience is entirely different than
01:22both sides of the house I
01:24Have given only five minutes and being a teacher for me five minutes the extremely small slot
01:30However, I'll try to do only two things
01:34I'm also an author so I always like to give analogy
01:37Sounds to the shloka and describe it may not be possible
01:41Maybe sometime later if you give me a maiden speech of 15 minutes at least I'll be able to do sir my expertise in my field
01:48Yatra Narya Raman Teja Tatra Deva Taha
01:53That's what our ancestors say where women are respected
01:56That is a place where gods reside and I want to tell you the most important thing for woman
02:04women in general is her health because she always neglects her health and takes care of the family and
02:10Because of that many women suffer in real life
02:14With cervical cancers and they will come to the hospital only in the fourth stage or third stage
02:21I'm being a daughter and a sister of a doctor
02:24I'm aware of this and I have worked in my last 30 years with Infosys foundation on this particular
02:30Area and that I want to give a suggestion
02:34There is a vaccination which is given to women girls between the age of 9 to 14 known as a cervical
02:43Vaccination which can if the girls have take if the girls take that it can be avoided
02:49May I request that to the house that we should incorporate that vaccination
02:58Because prevention is better than cure
03:02My father being a doctor always used to tell me when a woman dies when a mother dies
03:08In the hospital, it's a count plus one but for the family a
03:13Mother is lost forever
03:15Maybe a man can get another wife
03:17But children will never get another mother mother plays an important role and cervical cancers are more in the later part
03:25of life
03:26so I request that our government should look into this matter and
03:32They have handled a very big vaccination drive during kovat
03:37So this may not be very difficult if you can vaccinate our girls in the teenage 9 to 14
03:45This is my first point who has developed the vaccine
03:49This vaccination is developed in the West for a long time, sir
03:52It is already given for the last 20 years
03:54I tried one batch in my time 10 years back with government of Tamil Nadu with K Shanta the director of the
04:03Mud Adiyar Cancer Institute it worked very well
04:06So it is not expensive. I'm sure
04:10you know today's thousand four hundred rupees for person like us who are in the field, but if the government intervenes and
04:17Negotiates it can be and it's any business is a win-win situation
04:21He also should make certain money, but you can bring it to seven eight hundred rupees and we have such a law large population
04:28Sir, it will be benefiting for our girls in future
04:31I really do please convey it to the health minister. Yes, sir
04:36The second point which is very dear to my heart is I'm going to talk I may exceed one or two minutes
04:43Please please. Yeah, that is regarding
04:45tourism in India
04:47Sir, we always think
04:49Only
04:52Ajanta Ellora
04:54Bradeshwara and Taj Mahal are few things which everybody should see that is really not true, sir
05:00our country is vast and
05:02There is a very famous saying in the you know in in subhashita that said Bahurat Nani was Sundara
05:09Mother earth has many many diamonds and we always neglect and care only for one
05:15Similarly in India, we have 42 world heritage sites, but we have 57 pending and
05:24People and we should bother about those 57 and some of them I want to tell because there is no time
05:31These are the very important sites. I have gone personally and visited
05:35Being a daughter a granddaughter of a school teacher and the history teacher for the last 60 years
05:41Sir, I've done a lot of research in our own culture our own temples monuments in India and whatever I have done in
05:49Nutshell, I want to give there's a marvelous statue of
05:56Tirthankara not written a Bahubali at Shravanabalagola, which is a gem it is in Karnataka
06:02There are a group of monuments in Mandu in Madhya Pradesh who are very very beautiful
06:09There are caves or the prototyping of any temple you take in India
06:14It's prototyping is done in Badami
06:17I would a putters Kalu in Karnataka northern part of Karnataka where I belong
06:22I'm very proud about it. See Linga Raja temple see any temple in India
06:27Konark temple everything prototyping is done in
06:31575 AD in Karnataka these three places which are not in World Heritage Center
06:37You have if you go to East you have Tripura state and there are fantastic sculptures known as Unakoti
06:45Nobody knows who has done there thousand five hundred years old
06:49Then you have natural roots bridge in Mizoram and the eastern part of India
06:54Which is God's gift to us
06:56We go to other countries and we see but we never value because we have diamond in the hand
07:02We search for the broken glass pieces
07:05There is a complex of the temples in Srirangam and
07:09People must have some of them must have seen from South India
07:12I'm sure northern and eastern part of India people might not have seen they are marvelous. They are as good as
07:21Bradeshwara temple of Tanjore which is a World Heritage site
07:25There are beautiful Mughal gardens in Kashmir
07:28We always go and see the film shooting but we'll never realize they are not in the World Heritage sites
07:34So the advantage is of putting them on the World Heritage site number one
07:39The package should be done very well so that people can come and see them
07:43The package should be conveniently should be done so that you should have good toilets and good roads
07:49So that the tourists can come it will increase our revenue in our own country
07:54There are so many advantages are there that I will do in my maiden speech
07:59We have
08:00Beautiful desert garden run of Kutch and
08:04People only will see can see only in a certain months of the year and we should take advantage of that
08:10We have Buddha was a great person and we are very proud when whichever country I go
08:16They asked me are you from the land of Buddha? I always say yes
08:20He preached his first sermon in Sarnath
08:23We're very near to Varanasi the group of old monuments at Sarnath which are
08:292,500 years old it is not in the World Heritage site
08:35the Lothal of
08:37Gujarat is equivalent to Mohenjo-daro Harap of Pakistan
08:41We can't go there, but we have Lothal and Dholavira
08:45Dholavira is the World Heritage site
08:47But not Lothal, Lothal was a big port and how the ship used to come
08:52You should go and see it should come in a World Heritage site
08:56We have forts of Maharashtra where Veer Shivaji
09:01Baccha Baccha Bola tha that he said Jai Mahadev in every fight and they are the Jaladurga
09:08Vanadurga normal Durga the whole series where
09:12The forts face sea and also gave a great history to India and particular to Maharashtra
09:19Great Shivaji's place should come under World Heritage site
09:23There are beautiful there's a beautiful island on the river Brahmaputra in Assam
09:30Majol they call maybe my spelling may be wrong. It is Majoli Majoli
09:34Sir, it is if you would have seen in some other country
09:38They would have made it's a number one destination for wedding or even for entertainment or you to go and enjoy
09:45But 90% of the people are not even aware of this
09:50There is a we and you see the old Parliament to say all these people Westerners have come and they have built this one people from
09:57Architects from India in UK they came and built it sir
10:01It is nothing but if you see the prototyping of that thousand years back built in Nemadev Pradesh
10:08From Gwalior 30 kilometer. It is called Mithavalli. It's a Chausarshtra Yogini temple
10:14It is exactly the replica of that but in a prototyping sir
10:18There's a Padavalli and Mithavalli
10:20there's one more set of temples which were saved because of on the Chambal River because of the
10:28Dacoits, but they are world-class temples. The list is unending, but I want to conclude with a famous
10:36Famous
10:37Gumbaz of Karnataka that is Gol Gumbaz. It was ruled by the Adil Shahid in in
10:441400 to
10:461685 and it's one of the marvelous thing in India has produced where you can have the echo of seven times
10:53My list is 57, but my time is limited
10:57so sir, I
10:59This is an opportunity other like any girl. I used to look at Rashtrapati Bhavan. I used to look at
11:06Rajapathabha, I used to always feel lucky are those people who stay there who go there who can talk who can express
11:14I never knew one day will come to me in my life. I can stand and talk about what I believe in
11:20I want to conclude with a shloka which our ancestors have taught us or my grandfather has taught when I was young
11:27Whatever work you do better do it with your mind with buddhi and with hundred percent concentration
11:34We are in a country where there is so much diverse culture
11:38But still we are all one like five fingers make a mushti
11:42We all have that that character which is very much Indian character that we may differ in dress food
11:50language and
11:51But we are all one. I want to serve in my tenure Rajasabha with one single motto
11:58Kaya na vacha, manasa indriya arva, buddhyaat bhajava, prakratis sabhavat, karo miyadhyat, sakalam namasri
12:07Narayana eti samarpayami
12:09It is not my husband Narayana Murthy
12:11It is Narayana the God or the God whom you believe it need not be Narayana
12:17It could be anybody so with a single-minded with my mind with my buddhimatta with my concentration
12:24With my whatever is the age I have I am 74 going to be 74
12:28But God willing I will put my hundred percent in Rajasabha and work. Jai Hind. Jai Bharat Mata
