From Dream to Billion Dollar Reality: The Untold Story of the IPL's Birth | Cricket

Welcome back to A Century Of Stories: India presented by IDFC FIRST Bank!

This week, Kunal takes you back to 1959. Amid escalating tensions between Tibet and China, the 14th Dalai Lama made a daring and secretive escape from Lhasa to India. Fearing for his life, the Dalai Lama embarked on a dangerous two-week journey across the Himalayas with a small group of followers. The perilous trek took them through harsh mountain terrain, evading patrols, until they reached safety in India. In news that made headlines around the world, he was immediately granted asylum, a reflection of India's deep-rooted humanitarian values and commitment to offering refuge to those in need.

Welcome back to A Century Of Stories: India presented by IDFC FIRST Bank!

This week, Kunal tells the story of Usha Mehta - a prominent Gandhian freedom fighter known for her pivotal role in India’s independence movement. She is best remembered for organising the secret underground radio station that broadcasted uncensored news and messages of resistance against British colonial rule during the Quit India Movement in 1942. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s principles of non-violence and civil disobedience, Usha Mehta’s courageous efforts helped sustain the spirit of the struggle for freedom. Even after independence, she remained an advocate for Gandhian values, continuing her work as a social activist and educator.
