Yet another Independence day!!!!Thoughts?????


     My dear Indians,we are again going to celebrate the birthday of our country.Though having a great heritage and cultural practices over the periods,our country got freedom from British on a night in August 15.We are celebrating this occasion with much importance...even in government offices.Huge parades of the sections of Army with a special guest from another country makes it a real colourful one.It's time which makes the citizens of India proud to be born in such a country having great heritage and customs and cultures which acted as a standard to the people in other countries.The largest democratic country,a country of auspicious scenic beauty,a country which was the birth place of many greats who contributed to world by their great inborn skills.We have everything..from the word go.....

   We have the IIT's giving birth to the great engineers in the world,great institutions that makes the tomorrow's frontiers and all.But have you ever felt that you lacks something??
Yes,we do.....

Even though we have such huge buildings in our metroes such as Mumbai,Delhi,Bangalore etc..we still have our countrymen in poverty.The slums of Mumbai and some other metroes gives a vivid account of all these.The caste and religious reservations,the hell of things creates inequality in our country.These reservations were made for the poorer sections of our country during its birth time.It was right at that time,as our country was infected seriously due to the caste systems that were here..So those reservations are made for the emerging of the lower sections of people.

As a result,many people got the fruit of it and as a result,the caste system which parted the lower castes from upper castes came to an end...though not fully,but to an extend.But as a result most of the upper caste people lost their properties and there happened to have loss of job among them due to these reservations to make matters worse.Most of the huge bungalows of the feudal became cattle sheds..In many  states communist parties fought against the feudal lords which resulted in many killings.There was a transformation of the communists called as Naxals and they were more aggressive in nature.Years passed,the inequalities were reduced,though not fully.

   This is were the real problem originates.Many people who were considered as SC/ST's got the fruits of the reservations and they all became a strong part of the society.Later those gospel stuffs came and most of them worked well for the uplift of people from low classes and even started schools and hospitals in remote villages.But at some point of time,they lose their way and started converting people from Muslims,Hindus,Christians and all.So the people in these religions which enjoyed the luxuries of reservation got rich and got higher education and all from the best of Universities and became rich.At the same time,they enjoyed the benefits of reservation.I am not criticising about the conversion of people.But what I am going to tell is that,in the present scenario,there is no need of caste/religious reservations as they don't have anything to do with the society.Even the communists,who revolted for the uplift of lower classes lost their way and now they are like some organisations with high capital and the comrades are all now rich.

So,it's better ,if wants to give reservations,give it on the basis of income one family has ,then for the disabled,keeping along with the reservations the family of a military staff enjoys.There are no lower-upper class discrimination in our country right now.There is only rich-poor classification that exists.There are Brahmins and other general classes in the poor class and those with reservations in the richer class.So the policy of reservations in government institutions and for government jobs should be taken out.And those stuffs should be given according to sheer merit only.Otherwise,the rich will be richer and the poor will be poorer than ever.

   The next thing is with terrorism.Terrorism is spreading like an incurable cancer in the soil of India.Hey brother,we are all Indians.Then why should we work for our enemies and betraying our country.As every guilty person has to say,they also might tell that the circumstances like no job ,poor family conditions etc motivated them to be a terrorist.Hey,do you ever think that your conditions will change going into such illegal activities??NO.One might get some money for doing such illegal activities.But what if caught??Will your sister get a good proposal?Will your students get a good education?Will your parents have status in front of the society?No.Everyone will consider such a person as "Gaddar".Will you ever get peace of mind and will you be able to escape from your inner self?No.So  my brother,please don't betray our country.

 Another thing is the source for illegal money transactions taking place in India.Many people tends to hide out their money without paying taxes and most often,they are used as a capital in illegal activities.bribery is also carving out our nation.No government office is free of bribery.

Oh! God..It's so hard to live in our country with all these problems.But we still love our country (even though many of us goes to other countries to earn).Yes the system in India is all out-dated.The government and political parties should be professional and should work for the uplift of our country.But at first,the citizens should do their duties rather than to enjoy rights as we studied in some lower classes in civics and all.Then our country will one day become a place in which men from other countries come to earn a living.


SO JAI HIND...AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY  INDIA!!!!

HiNdUtVa-an outdated word?????


In the last Parliament elections,we heard a lot about the term Hindutva,as Bharatha Janatha Party (BJP) proposed Hindutva as their main agenda in their election campaigns.The term even caught the eye of media and people and even the elections as their agenda was widely rejected by the people of India,making their conditions even worse after elections and the internal conflicts in their party came out to the public.
Most of the people considered Hindutva as something to do with the  religion Hinduism and many of the followers of the other religions rejected the dogma.
Actually many people don't have an idea of what Hindutva actually means??
  Let's take a peep into this subject...

The term Hindutva was actually coined by Veer Sawarkar n the early days of 19th century.At that time,he took the chance to describe Hidutva as a feeling to express one's loyalty to Mother Nation India.The one's who consider India as their Motherland ,Fatherland and Holyand can be considered as a follower of Hindutva,even if he is a HIndu,Muslim,Sikh,BUddhist or a Parsi.Though there are similarities between Hindutva and Hinduism,both are not the same.Actually,both of these dogmas don't have any central force to guide like priests or nabi's...They became a culture in its passage and flourished in the heart's of millions..

 Hinduism is a culture and the culture marks the style of living of people of India.Unlike the Western culture,it offers a traditional way of living,making it tough to observe if one is moving away from the essence of this culture.It is a culture that took the essence of other cultures and develop itself into a form with loads of followers.It was due to this characteristic that the foreigners were widely accepted in our country,as this culture teaches us to welcome all.

 Even though Hinduism have many religious books,unlike Islam or Christianity or any religion ,it do not take any particular book as the Holy book.These books actually teaches us how to live a life to attain the ultimate Moksha.

 The Hindutva too preaches us the same principles.This culture gave equal status for all religions.No matter whether one is from the religion of Hinduism,Islam,Christianity or any other.The followers can be called as the follower of Hindutva or a Hindu.There were intrusions into this culture at times,during the reign of Muslim Emperors and invasion from West.But this culture was able to maintain its principles and made most of those rulers to follow it like the greats of Akbar,the BAADSHAH.So it gained a wide interest in the life of people of many countries.The followers spread this culture by following a moral way of living,taking into  consideration to revive the minds of people all over the world.

   LOKASAMASTHA SUKHINO BHAVANTHU is what it preaches.

 In the modern history of India,the term gained importance when parties like BJP,VHP(Vishva HIndu Parishad),RSS,Bajrang Dal,Sriram Sena which takes extremists stand with the term Hindutva.The sense bursted out with the demolition of Baber-e-Masjid in Ayodhya,where it is believed to be built destroying the Ram temple bby the Muslim rulers in the early years.The ones called KARSEVAKS demolished the mosque which lead to loads of riots in many parts of India.But this extremist movement made the followers of hHIndu religion to rise to the occassion thinking that BJP was the ultimate saviour for them to maintain the lives of Hindus as a lot of homicidal activities were happening in various parts of Kashmir Valley,which made Kashmiri Pundits to run away from heir place.
  This feeling of secureness made BJP to be an undisputed political power in India.The elections reflected this in areas where Hindus felt unsecure about their life and this made BJP to rule the nation and AB Vajpayee to lead a government to complete its period without Congress support.
BJP and its cultural sects even demanded for a Uniform Civil Code (USC) to the citizens.USC  means to have a common law for the whole people of India.BUt the others,mainly Muslims rejected this proposal as it would bring an end to many of their rituals like TALAQ in which a woman would be divorced by saying Talaq 3 times.These all created wide tensions all over India.Moreover ,the conversion of people by Christian sects made them more angry.So this also created more tensions.Money from West heavily invested in these activities.So the tension became worse.

 But when BJP came to power,they showed only a mild dose of Hindutva .In the elections,they promised the buiilding of Ram Temple in Ayodhya
But they failed to do it.This made the extremists more angry.At that time even L K Advani showed some tolerance to Jinnah.It also created tensions among the followers.
These all resulted in 2004 elections and BJP was made to sit in the opposition.BUt before getting out of the power,they were able to show the world that India has the ability to become a super power.The Congress Government which followed thereafter was ale to live upto the expectations of people of India,taking the development activities which BJP had started.

 This reflected in 2009 elections.People voted for the development agenda of Congress than the Hindutva.so BJP lost in the polls.But it can't be considered as a huge defeat,even the numbers say so.Because.the modern world always votes for development.But the security system in India was affected at the time of Congress ruling in the means of serial blasts and 26/11 incidents in Mumbai.

 The controversial remarks of Varun Gandhi also made the people of other religions to defeat BJP,though he won in Peelibeth by a huge margin.Narendra Mdiji,another pioneer of Hindutva was able to escape due to the development agendas he followed in Gujarat ,sinking Hindutva into its developments.

 So these all shows that,now the people wants more development.So the ruling of a country should not be done by giving intolerance to other people following various religions.But,by an agenda which gives security to the people of India for their property and lives to all sects of people.BJP failed to convince it to the people.Mainly,internal upsets ruined them.
So its time now for BJP ,not only to rely on Hindutva agenda but providing the people some faith in the party leaving all internal conflicts.Otherwise,the people would ignore them seriously.

So in all,Hindutva is a way of living which enlightened the world rather than intolerance to other religions..Hindutva should be implied by all parties for the bright future of India,showing examples to the world taking its own cultural aspects.In  all,Hindutva is not a religion:its a culture...
