 It is a matter of joy that we are celebrating the 125th anniversary of Prabhuta Bharat. This is no ordinary journal. It was started by none other than Swami Vivekananda back in 1896. That too, at the young age of 33, it is among the longest running English journals of the country. Prabhuta Bharat, there is a very powerful thought behind this name. Swami Vivekananda named the journal Prabhuta Bharat to manifest the spirit of our nation. He wanted to create an awakened India. Those who understand Bharat are aware that it is beyond just a political or territorial entity. Swami Vivekananda expressed this very boldly and proudly. He saw India as a cultural consciousness that had been living and breathing for centuries. In India, that only emerged stronger after every challenge despite prediction to the contrary. Swami Vivekananda wanted to make India Prabhuta or awakened. He wanted to awaken the self-belief that as a nation we can aspire for greatness.
