Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri Amit Shah today unveiled the Statue of Peace of Swami Ramanujacharya in Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir through video conferencing. Many dignitaries including the Lt.Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Shri Manoj Sinha and Shri Shri Yatiraj Jeeyar Swami of Shri Yadugiri Yathiraj Math were present on the occasion.
In his address, the Union Home Minister said that it gives me great pleasure to unveil the peace statue of Swami Ramanujacharya made of marble in Kashmir today. In various periods of India’s history, whenever society needed reforms, a great person has come forward to show the true path and Ramanujacharya was also born at a time when the country needed a great person. Today, on this occasion, I pay my respects to the life, works and personality of Ramanujacharya.
Shri Amit Shah said that when social unity was being broken, many evils were afflicting society, then Ramanujacharya was sent and he did great work of connecting Vaishnavism with its origin. Shri Shah said that in 2017, the celebrations of the 1000th birth anniversary of Bhagvat Ramanujacharya took place across the country with the diligence and devotion of Param Pujya Jeeyar Swami, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi sent the message of Bhagvat Ramanujacharya to the country from the ramparts of the Red Fort on 15th August. According to the resolvetaken then, a huge memorial of Ramanujacharya has been built in Hyderabad which will not only carry forward the message of his life into the future, but it has also become a place of Sanatan Dharma in Southern India which has spread all over the South. Strengthening of religious consciousness has also taken place in India.
Shri Amit Shah said that the establishment of this peace statue in Kashmir today is a very auspicious sign for the entire country, especially Jammu and Kashmir. He said that Jammu and Kashmir has progressed on the path of peace and progress under the leadership of Lt. Governor Shri Manoj Sinha. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Shri Manoj Sinha has established decisive supremacy on terror in Kashmir. Shri Manoj Sinha has taken development to the people of Kashmir without any discrimination. After a long time, the country expected that Articles 370 and 35A should be removed and Kashmir should be integrally integrated with India. This expectation was fulfilled by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi and from 5th August 2019 a new era began in Kashmir. At such a time, the installation of this peace statue will bring the blessings and message of Ramanujacharya to Kashmiris of all religions and will take Kashmir further on the path of peace and progress.
Shri Amit Shah said that in a way Ramanujacharya’s life and place of work was mostly in South India. But the spread of his education and love is visible throughout the country. Many sects, sects across the country have grown from the original message of Ramanujacharya and his disciple Ramananda. As a result, today in Kashmir a peace statue has been established. This statue will give a message of peace not only to Kashmir but to the whole of India. This statue is four feet in heightand made of pure white Makrana marble and weighs about 600 kilograms. The Yathiraj Math of Yadugiri, located in Mandya district of Karnataka, is the only original Math in Melkot that has existed since the time of Ramanujacharya.
The Union Home Minister said that when an earthquake struck Gujarat, Jeeyar Swami was the first among those saints to reach there and rebuilt the villages. The Gujarat government is also going to install a grand statue of Ramanujacharya there next year, so that the people of Kutch will remember the work done by the Yadugiri Math. Ramanujacharya established the Math through the orders received from his Guru Yamunacharya. Today, the 41st abbot of Yatiraj Math has revived the message of the life of Ramanujacharya once again. Many incidents of Ramanujacharya’s life can inspire us for ages.
The Union Home Minister said Ramanujacharya was born in Tamil Nadu in Vikram Samvat 1074 and this wonderful child of Keshavacharya and Mata Kantimani studied the scriptures deeply in his teenage years. At the age of 23, leaving the householder’s ashram, the Yatiraj Sanyasis of Srirangam initiated him into Sanyas and then Shri Ramanujacharya became a scholar, a revolutionary and a pioneer who brought many social changesduring his time He devoted his whole life to religion, devotion and the Nation. He had a deep relationship with Kashmir. Ramanujacharya reinterpreted inclusive society, religion and philosophy through the Vishishtadvaita sect. By adopting the formula of Manasa, Vacha, Karmana, he placed his life in the service ofthe people. His message led to the emergence of many sects across the country. Narsi Mehta, the famous poet of Gujarat, composed ‘Vaishnav Jan To Tene Kahiye Je Peer Parai Jaane Re’, with the message of Ramanujacharya. Sant Kabir also accepted that whatever he could do in his life, was due to Ramanujacharya.

On June 14, two of Legend Capital’s portfolio companies, Innovent Biologics, Inc. (“Innovent”) and PT Etana Biotechnologies Indonesia (“Etana”), jointly announced that the Indonesian Food and Drugs Authority (BPOM) had approved Bevagen (bevacizumab biosimilar), a recombinant humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody drug for five indications including metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC), advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC), ovarian cancer (OC), and cervical cancer(CC). Under the approval of the BPOM, Bevagen will potentially be the first Chinese antibody drug to be marketed and locally produced in Southeast Asia.
Dr. Michael Yu, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Innovent, said, “We are pleased that under the strategic collaboration with Etana, the approval of Bevagen in Indonesia marked a meaningful step toward bringing Innovent’s innovative portfolio into the global market, benefitting patients globally. Pairing Etana’s commercial expertise in the local Indonesian market with Bevagen’s clinical profile, high-quality production and relative affordability, we are confident that Bevagen will launch to the market quickly and benefit many cancer patients.”
Nathan Tirtana, President Director of Etana, said, “Etana appreciates the support of BPOM for approving Bevagen for cancer patients in Indonesia. With this product, we believe we can provide better access to high-quality and affordable biosimilar drug to meet the need of cancer patients in Indonesia. Our next step is to implement the technology transfer and local Bevagen production in Indonesia via collaboration with Innovent.”
Legend Capital has been looking for investment and partnership opportunities in the Southeast Asian market since 2019 and ultimately invested in Etana in 2020. By leveraging the advantages of the portfolio ecosystem, Legend Capital has played an active role in promoting the strategic cooperation between Innovent and Etana.
Mr. Frank Hong, Managing Director of Legend Capital, said, “Congratulations to Innovent and Etana for the approval of the first biosimilar in Indonesia. This milestone achievement demonstrates the feasibility of expanding Chinese innovative drugs market access into the emerging markets. The emerging markets along the Belt and Road have significant demand for pharmaceutical products and unmet clinical needs, Chinese innovative therapeutics are particularly well suited to the needs of patients in developing countries given their quality and affordable prices. Legend Capital will continue to explore investment opportunities in the emerging markets and actively pioneer the path for Chinese high-end biologics’ overseas expansion, facilitating the globalization of Chinese pharmaceutical companies.”
Mr. Fei Qi, Executive Director of Legend Capital, said, “The cross-border investment and industrial collaboration in the Southeast Asian market possess unique challenges: from policy regulation, folk culture to healthcare system complexity. Etana has set up a competitive barrier of ‘Access + Manufacturing + Commercialization’ in Southeast Asia, and Legend Capital complemented Etana’s key ‘Business Development’ ability by leveraging its healthcare portfolio ecosystem. Legend Capital has provided a series of value-add services in terms of company strategy, business cooperation and subsequent financing to Etana since its investment. Etana has approached and discussed collaboration initiatives with more than 10 Chinese biopharmaceutical companies and plans to introduce more therapeutics that Indonesia currently lacks, such as cancer monoclonal antibodies, COVID vaccines, and antiviral infection drugs. Through the joint efforts of Etana and its partners, we believe that the company will be able to provide high-quality and affordable Chinese innovative drugs to Indonesia, Southeast Asia and even the Islamic world.”
Legend Capital has been firmly positioned to invest systematically in the field of innovative medicine. Adhering to the investment philosophy of “Global Vision, Chinese Insights”, Legend Capital is looking for truly internationally competitive technologies and teams to solve the unmet clinical needs; many of its portfolio companies have been listed on A-share or H-share successfully, such as Kawin Technology (688687.SH), Innovent Biologics (01801.HK), Hbm (02142.HK), Recbio Technology (2179.HK).
