Currently China, violating an agreement about not destabilising settled populations in disputed areas, lays claim repeatedly to Arunachal Pradesh. Indian reactions are pitifully pathetic. To respond gainfully to China, what is required is a counterpunch. India should simply state that it no longer recognises Tibet as part of China, since Tibet is Tibetan territory and the Tibetan people must decide its future. There is no legal impediment against India doing this. The 1954 Agreement between India and China, whereby India recognised Tibet as part of China, lapsed after eight years and was never renewed.
India’s hope of a reasonable settlement between China and the Tibetan people has been shattered by China’s rebuff to Dalai Lama’s somewhat over-generous offer of accepting autonomy for Tibet under Chinese sovereignty. China instead is busy changing the demography of Tibet by populating the region with Han Chinese to marginalise Tibet’s own sons of the soil. As former government counsel and author J.P. Mitter in his Betrayal of Tibet (1964) wrote: "No policy that allows the Chinese to be paramount in this once acknowledged buffer country will ever be in the interest of India."
The International Commission of Jurists in Geneva after detailed research had concluded that Tibet, historically and legally, was an independent nation until it was forcibly occupied by China. The government could encourage any prominent NGO, perhaps even George Fernandes, to interact with radical young Tibetans in Dharamshala to set up a joint committee for delineating the Indo-Tibetan border. India has a border with Tibet, none with China. Once that border is delineated it could be forwarded to the International Commission of Jurists for approval.
On the eve of the Beijing Olympics, China is very touchy about Tibet. India should exploit that. On March 10, a radical young Tibetan, Tenzin Tsundue, is leading a peaceful march from Dharamshala to Tibet to coincide with the opening of the Olympics. This is his way of lodging a Gandhian, democratic protest. Official agencies should extend him quiet help. Media should ensure maximum international coverage. The protest can undoubtedly gather momentum.
There is also much that can be said with regard to Xingjian and Taiwan. But let’s start with Tibet.

Desire for diminishing!
After reading about all this dirty political and ignorant racial pride displaying by Raj Thakrey, I feel very angry on the Central Leadership of this Nation and condemn the weaker stance taken by Government of India. The response of maharashtrian State Government was even more pathetic. The arrest took so long time when it was obvious to everyone that this foolish thinking of ignorant racial pride can lead our much cherished integrity in variety principle in trash and could advance even threatening the "Physical Integration" of our nation. These people of MNS {Maharashtra Navanirmana Sena} are blindly thinking in much narrower area, they lost the long love which we all had been sharing since the ancient civilisation which Great Shivaji was much proud of, who installed "Hindu Pad Paadshahi" and integrated us all. Now mere selfishness of so called marathis became heavier than Shiva Ji and Rana Prataap's legacy? How disgusting and shameful this is. Where is RSS {Rashtriya SwayamSevak Sangh} who claims to be the most "Nationalist Organisation"! When it came to deliver they are all gone from arena? And State Government arrested "Abu Aazami" also who was protesting for the right? Only to calm the false so called Marathi pride! This dirty politics can destroy the age long Indian traditions of Fraternity and Love to everyone. Even when The English, Portuguese, Dutch, French, Mughals came to our country and cheated us and cause brutality towards us, we made them our loving partners in this critical journey of earthly life. And today we proudly say all Muslims are our brothers. These powers couldn't eradicate our race like they almost did in Australia and other parts of the Globe, many reasons might be for it but for sure somewhere one was the essence of Tolerance and Affection which is always there in Hinduism and thus in our culture. We all now must unite and hail against persons like Raj Thakrey who are actually misguided and are living in misconceptions and taming lethal hatred for their own brothers, we fought against all odds together, against Brutal Mughals, sly English {Anglo/Angrez} and all problems which we faced as wars with Pakistan, China; we all were together, we might be from different religions, economic back grounds and much much more diversities, but we did it with the fundamental principle of "Humanity" and Care towards our fellow beings. Numerous civilisations like Rome {Yoonaan}, Egyptians {Mistr}, Mangol came and go by, but the Ancient greatness of Indians are still shining on the globe with the glorious tag of "The Worlds' Oldest Civilization". And little selfishness of some Marathis {Which I don't even like stating as "Marathis" because of insulting Shivaji Himself by saying so} would lead us to this turmoil? Is this even of any status that our ancestors gifted us? Think many times and decide how you want to proceed with your worldly avatars. We all believe in "Vasudhaiv KutumbKum" {The entire earth is one family} and I would like our generation to expand this view to all Universe with the latest scientific advancements which we achieve and not at all desire for diminishing it to the bottom of some peoples' False Racial Pride. Jai Hind!

End of a “Devoted Icon”
I am in the deepest of sorrow with the assassination of one of the greatest leader of the Indian sub continent Mrs. Benazir Bhutto. She was a brave lady leader of a highly patriarchal, conservative muslim society. After loosing her inspirational father, with the strength and bravery of patriotism, she entered in the muddy, brutal and severely volatile Pakistani politics. After being in power for short intervals, having being faced with corruption allegations and all sorts of harrasements by self centric or Islamic extremists’ groups or other political, personal foes; she stood firm. Amidst of violent plight, for the sake of her countrymen and the vision which she nurtured for her beloved country, she returned with all wanted, unwanted agreements; displaying her affection towards the motherland and the people of Pakistan. It’s very unfortunate that Extremists and Bigot terrorists’ organizations act slyly, brutally killing people on the name of Religion and then showing off through Media announcements, about their cruelty as their victory. Any Religion doesn’t direct the path of violence and hatred. These misguided militants can’t even realize, whatever they’re doing is going only negative. They are clearly killing innocent people and creating a very negative image of Islam in front of the entire world community.
Coming back to the Martyr, I state my total solidarity to her family and friends; and express much regret towards this heinous act of cowardice against a woman who stood firm for her nation and democracy. Infinite regards to the great soul which will always be kindling as a torch in our hearts, spreading aura of love and freedom.

Converting Faith!
Hello to all my readers,
Today I decided to write about my views on people who convert their religion. There have been numerous conflicts and disastrous violent battles in human society, merely to convert people to the choice of certain sections of society. Our political fraternity believes in the profit which they might cash out of this mishap. What is religion? It’s one’s faith and devotion to a set of thoughts and views, and it’s not at all impractical that it may vary from time to time, but being a social animal, we are bound to be more confined and most of all highly influenced by people around us. In India, you can find faiths of all kinds, everyone possessing their on take, I can’t comment on the whole world’s position, but as my perception goes, it looks similar, as we all are emotional and thinkers. If defaming any religious insignia can cause severe outburst like it was in case of prophet, then it alarms our minds even more, that are till now, have we been enough minded to be free and broad with our thinking? Are we blind enough in something which we just embraced as it was said to us? If questions and matters pertaining “Religion” are so inflammable then I must urge all people to abstain themselves from converting and try to find their path individually, because if we’re not that “Intellectual” that we can bear “Freak” acts of others, then we’re certainly not that minded to alter the traditional faith or even if we’re then our that intellectuality shows us the way of being away with such conversions and try installing peace in society rather than trouble. I don’t want to make this article a “Radical” by equipping it with the examples of Christian Missions in India, that give money and other temptations only to alter their faiths and then think whatever loyalty they’ve got, will be even more substantial as generations passes, the approach with which Muslims got much base in Indian Subcontinent. It sparks people, specially of Minorities, so be witty and act the same.
Yours forever

What is "Communism"?
I have always been wondering what this "Communism" noun is all about? Since I have crossed 18 years of my life year back, it's now have become significant enough to equip myself with a greater sense of this renowned word, though in my state there isn't any communist political party eminent, but in the nation of INDIA they exist in a few corners and these days making enough noise in parliament. After finding many articles and having read them all, I decided to write this one here, it reflects it more or less clearly.
“What is Communism?” it may be good to first compare it to communism with a small “c.” The system of thought called communism is an ideology summarized in the neat-sounding maxim, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.” A study of communism could lead one into the fascinating and divergent attempts throughout history by groups to walk in the light of the above principle -- attempts both secular and religious, some benign and some malignant.
Like the big elephant examined by the group of blind men in the old Indian story, our understanding of communism would vary greatly depending on which portion of the beast we touch. But if we think of communism as that bulky beast of the jungle with many strange parts, Communism with a capital “C” would be the tusk- perceived as a sharp and dangerous spear by its fearful examiner.
Modern day Communism is based on the writings of two German economists, Karl Marx and Fredrich Engels, who answered the question “What is Communism?” in their collaboration, “The Communist Manifesto” published in 1848. In it they declare that many problems in society are due to the unequal distribution of wealth. To bring about happiness and prosperity for all, the distinctions between the rich and poor of society must be eliminated. And since the rich will never give up their goods or status voluntarily, a rebellion of the poor -- the working class -- is necessary.
Thus, Communism is a distinct socio-political philosophy that is willing to use violent means to attain its goal of a classless society. If capitalism is defined as a social system based on individual rights (and individual wealth), then communism is its direct opposite. Communism believes in equality through force. In its system, individual rights are ground to powder and used to build its idol of absolute government control. It is indeed like the tusk of the elephant. It is sharp. It is dangerous. And it has gored millions of men in its rage through history.
Communism embraces atheism and dismisses religion as “the opiate of the masses,” a system designed by the rich and powerful to keep the poor in their place.
But Communism’s quest for a classless society is bound to fail. As Frank Zappa, ‘60s rock star, succinctly said, “Communism doesn’t work because people like to own stuff.” Furthermore, someone has to hold the money bag even in a communist-style society. And whoever holds the bag becomes not only a target for those looking on but for the subtle interior demons of pride, avarice, and self-preservation.
If there will always be the poor, then there will always be the rich. There will always be division, the haves and the have-nots, and any attempt to establish a classless society this side of heaven, particularly through the violent and godless ways of Communism, is destined to frustration and failure.
I personally am very against this policy, what other people think about it, is a worth learning point. So do comment as your views friends!

What an individual person can do to handle "Climate change."
Bangladesh erosion along river cuts a town in the middle, an increasing threat from global warming.
Global climate change is a burning issue, having significance of infinite time, simultaneously requiring higher attention for life’s existence in future. I read a lot about steps taken by various communities of society of countries like USA, Australia, Denmark and India; then I pondered over what an individual of a developing nation (like me) can do to handle this problem of global climate change. Though as per statistics one might say developing countries possess lesser causes of originating the trouble, I feel with our (India’s) growth rate, population and aspirations it’ll be very helpful if we think about our duties before they arrive with urgency, as they’ve in developed countries like America. I have listed a few common things one individual of a developing nation and to much extent a developed nation can do for helping positively in movement for “Global climate change.”
Making various personal choices can be an effective method of fighting climate change. The Environmental Protection Agency's Personal Emissions Calculator is a tool for measuring the impact that individual choices (often money saving) can have.
(1) Shopping: By making strategic consumer choices, one can reduce the production of greenhouse gases. Purchasing energy-efficient products helps reduce the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. For example, aluminium packaging has a much more energy intensive production process than plastic packaging, and therefore higher greenhouse emission.
(2) Recycling: Buying products that are reusable or recyclable, or contain reduced packaging, can save a significant part of the energy and resources required for manufacturing new goods. By recycling paper, cardboard, glass or metal, an average family could reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by up to one ton annually. Cutting down on products used around the home, especially power-intensive electric products such as desktops, can have a large effect on overall emissions.
(3) Public transport: More frequent use of public transportation helps the environment by reducing the time spent in cars. Boats and ferries are the most efficient method of fossil fuel transport, followed by trains, then buses. Aeroplanes can be more than ten times less energy-efficient than cars. Walking is the least impactful mode of transportation, followed by the bicycle, whose usage produces no carbon emissions. (Even though the manufacturing of bicycles can emit carbon dioxide and other pollutants.)
(4) Trees: Protecting forests and planting new trees contributes to the absorption of carbon dioxide from the air. There are many opportunities to plant trees in the yard, along roads, in parks, and in public gardens. In addition, some charities plant fast-growing trees -- to help people in tropical developing countries restore the productivity of their lands. Conversely, clearing old-growth forests adds to the carbon in the atmosphere, so buying non-old-growth paper is good for the climate as well as the forest.
(5) Labels: The Energy Star label can be seen on many household appliances, home electronics, office equipment, heating and cooling equipment, windows, residential light fixtures, and other products. Energy Star products use less energy.
Green Electricity Watch is an independent ranking of GreenPower electricity products offered by Australian electricity retailers, providing consumers with a simple guide to all the GreenPower products available and which ones make a real difference in reducing global warming. Similar labels are can be found in India as well.
(6) Cars: Buying a car can be a weighty decision. Purchasing an energy-efficient vehicle helps to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide.
(7) Renewable energy: The use of alternative energy sources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro energy, is gaining increased support worldwide. The wind energy produced in Denmark, for example, provides about 10 percent of the country's total energy needs. These methods of energy production emit no greenhouse gases once they are up and running. Many energy suppliers in various countries worldwide have options to purchase part or pure "green energy."
(8) Carbon offsets: The principle of carbon offset is thus: one decides that they don't want to be responsible for accelerating climate change, and they've already made efforts to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions, so they decide to pay someone else to further reduce their net emissions by planting trees or by taking up low-carbon technologies. Every unit of carbon that is absorbed by trees -- or not emitted due to your funding of renewable energy deployment -- offsets the emissions from their fossil fuel use. In many cases, funding of renewable energy, energy efficiency, or tree planting -- particularly in developing nations -- can be a relatively cheap way of making an individual "carbon neutral".
(9) Using less animal products: The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization reports that rearing livestock contributes more greenhouse gases than all fossil fuel burning combined.
(10) Writing letters, direct lobbying politically, public shaming for careless industries, using improved machinery, posting relevant documentations over blog or forum, community organizing specially with children and youth involved in favouring activities etc. can help vigorously.
(11) Quitting smoking can also be profiting to one as an individual as well as the whole society by reducing emission of greenhouse gases like carbon mono and di oxide. All practices we apply for curbing all sorts of pollutions (chiefly “Air”) must also be run.
Many other means can also be utilized, just a few moments of thinking and you might enlist more, so now for Yours Own Sake DO HELP!

Vaidic Mathematics
Maths made Easy!!!
Vedic Maths is based on sixteen sutras or principles. These principles are general in nature and can be applied in many ways. In practice many applications of the sutras may be learned and combined to solve actual problems.
In the Vedic system 'difficult' problems or huge sums can often be solved immediately by the Vedic method. These striking and beautiful methods are just a part of a complete system of mathematics which is far more systematic than the modern 'system'. Vedic Mathematics manifests the coherent and unified structure of mathematics and the methods are complementary, direct and easy.
The simplicity of Vedic Mathematics means that calculations can be carried out mentally (though the methods can also be written down). There are many advantages in using a flexible, mental system. Pupils can invent their own methods, they are not limited to the one 'correct' method. This leads to more creative, interested and intelligent pupils.
