Mushrooms of critical danger; Politics through Media

Present cocktail of pseudo news channels in India, better denoted as overall electronic media, appears to be morally less substantial and more interested in using the “Short cut propaganda machinery”, developed by them, to stir the mass in the direction they wish. Before their commercial intentions were in question, now their malicious political propaganda are also flaring in the eyes of think-tanks of society at various strata.

Accusations and proofs have been corroborated for many news channels for being driven by the funds perfused by political powers. The right wing of Indian polity RSS, BJP and its related organizations are registering their complaints on social flora by invoking agitations in the minds of mass about serial, targeted, odd and extremely notorious in nature, so called “sting operations”. The latest being a conversation among a few individuals, happen to be part of their organization, talking about taking revenge from muslims and trying to wage violence against those who have brutally murdered not only the morals of humankind but also the freedom of living peacefully while practicing one's religion of choice. Such conversations have contrasting properties of being utterly wrong and quite natural, so I strongly believe, this is a failure of both “religious and political leadership” of this country. Islam has to filter the bad elements out with constant, devoted and scrupulous attempts else such conversations are already showing signs of greater resentment among other religions and can be transformed into extremely undesirable consequences. The biased media coverage, stings without proper proof and then for political propaganda, TRP, commercial interests, putting them on air without proper assessment of what risk they hail, is careless as well as hazardous for the unity of our country.

This phenomenon isn’t new, as historically the media-systems were created by the governments or politically active groups but there was a time in between, when in the “democratically” ruled parts of the world, the dictum was an impartial media that now seems to be a highly corrupt aspect for the Democratic freedom. Political parties must communicate with people using their own stamp unambiguously so that democracy is transparent; using such an insult must never be practiced and ought to be relegated by the citizens out rightly. We hope, media personnel and the folk in general will understand the need of keeping their thinking broader while perceiving the gist out of these "mushrooms of critical danger."

Hey, Indian citizen!

By the growing foreign threats, islamic terrorism, naxalism (maoism), regional base politics of separatists are highly alarming challenges that our country faces. The recent events scale up the level of concern even vehemently. The political will power to tackle them, seems to be defensive as well as indecisive. With lack of experience and exposure I can't confidently write over this point much but one thing that I endorse with solid authority, is to be vigilant and keep preparing ourselves for these challenges, so that when time arrives, we can contribute with our merits.
The economic, scientific and religious flourishing of the nation will be the key to hold, to unlock the endless possibilities in future that India can take on to, not only for its regional goals but also for a cumulative vision, which we see for the entire Humankind! All the best!!

Unethical eligibility criterion for Maharashtra Taxi Drivers!

After immoral means to substantiate the local language, culture and traditions, adopted by regional political parties such as Maharashtra Navnirmaan' Sena (MNS) and Shivsena, now the Maharashtra government issues a reinforcement circular for the unethical rules of Taxi-drivers' eligibility criteria, comprising of the clauses like the mandatory domicile of 15 years with capabilities of reading, writing and speaking Marathi language! The rules have been in place since 1989, the circular seems to be an endeavor to cash in the divisive nature of Maharashtra demography, specially in present plight when the result of state assembly election has shown significant benefit for the radical MNS manifesto.

The social democratic country India, provides the citizens of it through the written constitution with the right of living, earning, practicing any religious activity throughout its length and breadth; the above rule clearly contradicts this framework of constitution and evokes hazard to numerous migrants chiefly from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh by disallowing them blatantly, with the right of earning their livelihood while having the ability to read, write and speak the national language of India- HINDI! If Maharashtra government wishes to put in place convenience for local residents, they can introduce some basic training on a very few linguistic clauses used for handling the onus of a taxi driver and secondly, it's an open fact that almost everyone in Maharashtra knows Hindi, at least to the extent of using a cab-service! In the next few months, there will be approximately more than 4000 licenses issuance in the state of Maharashtra for Taxi drivers, now with these criteria in place, which provide a complete barricade to the numerous migrants, who knows their national language very well, what will be their fate?

According to our constitution, Marathis can also go to any part of the nation and they do migrate as well, may be to some lesser degree. If they think someone ELSE, is eating on their bread, they simply need to raise their skill-levels and compete in a fair environment rather than using immoral means like using violence against the migrants and openly mocking at our tolerant, inclusive, peaceful and cosmopolitan character of Indian culture. They should focus upon providing better access to the learning faculties of their local language, culture, traditions and to promote them with moral means, like mass awareness. Ironically, the Bollywood, which provides much of its glitter to Mumbai, the National economic capital (not only pertaining Maharashtra), is the "HINDI motion picture, music and arts' industry"! Providing ample amount of revenue as well as exposure to wealth and prosperity to the locals. Parties like MNS and Shivsena are ruining the fabric of country by dividing it on the basis of regional characters and thus weakening the strength of United India. Soon such flame would engulf other states as well, then how could the integrity of the nation be maintained? Congress is saying, no new rule is made or the older is amended but mere reinforcement of the rule is exercised, the simple question here erected is, whether Congress is in favor of such divisive, inhuman and a disastrous rule both for the directly affected poor migrants and the integrity of country? If no then they must have eliminated such rule rather than reinforcing it. If today I say, I am going to reinforce LTTE in Sri Lanka, am I not a culprit? I'd then say, I have neither amended nor framed a new beast, should it be a properly standing argument at all? Now when this is the plight of Nation's giant oldest political party, one can effortlessly ponder over the strategies of others.

If we don't wake up now, and act against such bigots, it won't be far away, when nation's integrity would fall broken in the hands of separatists like MNS chief, Naxalites, Kashmiri militants or Islamic radicals. Say no to injustice and eradicate the evil!

Racism ruining mankind, Indians in Australia being racially discreminated & harassed

Growing incidents of racially motivated violence against Indian students studying in Australia and now even people of Indian origin in general with their properties and religious sites are alarming folks in India as well as in the entire world. Recently, the brutal murder of a 23 year old Indian studentin Australia, which was a component of the chain of attacks against Indian students that were blatantly denied by Australian authorities to be racist in nature with the today's race attack on Gurudwara (Sikh temple), shows the rising menace within the humankind, pertaining racism.
The aim of the article is not at all to stamp entire white community or Australians as racists but to enlighten the mass with the effort of kindling the sense of humanity that must be considered above state's ego, in the hearts and minds of Australian authorities, who are continuously denying to recognise the root cause correctly, thus fueling the issue even further towards blazing direction of future conflicts and vengeance.
This phenomenon describes how the terrorism and inhumane acts of violence within mankind are conceived. It's a fact that in modern era, India can't sort out this trouble militarily, neither can those handful of people present on a foreign land could perform self defence, then in this plight, this all when the legitimate solution that lies in the hands of Australian governance, totally stabbing to the victims themselves, how will the victims react? Obviously they will find the most efficient way to express and fulfill their grievance that unfortunately goes through the paths of bloodshed and inhumanity. I believe the world will take notice of it for the immediate rectification.

Global Climate change menace, Copenhagen summit

Life is the precious creation of Time and energy web around us. The life on earth, thus the Mankind, holds this cherished essence yet it seems we are going in some negative direction for influencing our surroundings with hazardous substances that is potentially affecting the Temperature within mother earth's atmosphere and various other climate disturbances.
There have been remarkable efforts from different organisations and public groups, including States' governments, to stabilize and retract from this "unwanted" and scientifically destined as "a hazard to our existence" pathway, chosen by us, unknowingly.
The Summit in Copenhagen was a flop show as the Developed nations wanted to overthrow United Nations' principles of "Equity" among nations and tried to forge an agreement, prepared in an nontransparent, undemocratic way; grossly biased and neglecting serious concerns of the Poorer and Developing countries.
The BASIC nations (the front of major Developing economies- Brazil, South Africa, India, China), played a matured role with due assistance of positive attitude of leaders like Obama and Merkel to reach on to some "way of progress" type of agreement, which is, though not "Legally binding" yet confirms the volunteer efforts from the part of all Developed and Developing nations (US, BASIC and others). The G77 group of nations, specially African countries were highly unsatisfied with such a draft of the agreement.
It seems around 3 degree centigrade rise is due till 2050 with this sort of approach, which is sufficient to engulf small Island nations like Maldives, and would cause severe coastal commotions throughout the globe. Previously it was in air for targetting 1.5 or a 2 degree rise solution.
The economic funding ranged from 100 to 250 Billion USD per annum was the key negotiating framework with the balance between the Monitoring and sovereignty of the agreed Nations.
The final draft seems to be a short term semi respite for the countries like India and China, now the Mexico will tell us more what can be explored in the future. The self less leadership and an approach of Science is required to tackle it diligently.

Does an adversarial system only encourage more adversaries?

The extremely regarded, liberal and intellectual theories of Democracy, Judicial systems and for the great extent, the modern learned society itself, are based upon the adversaries that serve like a rainbow, the charm of the pleasant rain. On execution, the usual notion is, adversaries harm the resources to diminish the process, actually it’s more of a systemic failure, in which one of the sub set is not kept in isolation from the other thus these two totally separate processes of “Pondering” and “Execution” get mixed upfor the devastation. To resolute, we keep on reminding ourselves, “Once decided, we must go for it!”
Simply putting, there is no alternative to adaptation. For caring our self respect, we can take the entire multiverse equivalent to ourselves, in this way; we never fight to the “Others” but always contemplate within ourselves. The renowned phrases of “God is one, who resides in every particle,” “Guru is the greatest” (Guru means the big) etc, all signify this quite fundamental law of the time and energy web around us.
I remind the days when I’d go to buy vegetables; precisely instructed by my mother to bring the fresh and the better quality ones. Being exceedingly honest, till date I can’t differentiate among the better and worse tomatoes but though I was of the strong opinion that the one with a bright red colour, shining like a glitter, is far better that the one with a dull colour, suffering from the blemishes. After being deceivedfor several times, I resolute on bringing the mixture and believe me my mother was far happier than before. The gist is, as we know that we don’t know all, let us give our surroundings a chance to teach us better. They can be in the form of other human beings or even the unanimated objects but simultaneously remember to isolate the execution part from the contemplating one.
The radical dictator residing in every desiring soul is keen to formulate the path of biased radicalism but the noetic stays at using theadversaries as the weapons for us and not against us. This is a stark truth that no one is Superman to have an amazing array of merits to establish the nature as it wishes then under such circumstances the only way to go ahead is having asystem that provides equal opportunities of expressing the concerns and views of every wishing part.
One major disadvantage can be of having a smart spoiled soul that manipulates the facts and mould the arguments such that its dark intentions get the approval of thesystem . On comparing up, the ravaging caused by the dictator named “Hitler” looks largely looming than that of the one cited before. If we’ve the faith in “Satyamev Jayate, Nanritam” (truth always wins, not the lie), then our fear about abovementioned consideration subdues itself a bit.
In a civilized society, the argumentative nature of the units never leaves out any scope for the great straight nodding. The justice framework of past would enact certain individuals, regarded as “Kazis or judges”, who would investigate and state the conclusion as well, on their own. But the society that even Crucified Jesus Christ, simply has a nullfor such alternatives.
Ultimately we must adhere to the truth that arguments are the meshwork of the functionality, which are as detachable, integral and formative part of the humankind as the threads of the garment, once pulled out, nothing remains.
The great visionaries of the past have also preached that no matter, even being against, the right to say will be protected by the rights. The present situation of the Indian judicialsystem that is capacitating huge number of pending cases of various degree of startlingly longer time-span, nourishes the notion of an anti adversarial rhetoric. Inquisitorialsystem evokes even further elements of mutual distrust and associated bias.
Co-existence of distinguishable units highly depends upon complicated parameters, governed by a wide range of rationales. It can be an explicit reality that unnecessary arguments pops in and out every now and then but then we ought to bear the dictum that “for gaining something, some things are to be compromised.” Of course for it, we never lose our feelings of hope for creating a “Utopia”, but yes, we do preserve the component of practicality within.
The variety in itself is the most vibrant property that can be relished for picking up the proper pick. Indian culture has a very long lasting, historical practice of “Shastrartha”, under which arguments play the pivotal role, standing tallfor the tested feasibility of adversarial system over the face of time. Reasoning and contentions are the fuel to produce refined mentality, which further transforms into the justified decisions that we takefor our cumulative interests.
Within the purview of productivity, the encouragement for adversaries provided by the adversarial system is in reality the soul of progress, both scientifically as well as spiritually. The negative impacts can be limited by drawing the proper set of rules or “protocol”, empowering us to extrapolate the nectar out of the vivid flora. The essential isolation of execution and brooding makes sure the hindering effect of the invalid arguments is kept minimized.
Every statement must be scanned for the criterion of truth and justice, the adversarial system presents us with this unique virtue as the generated counter arguments or assertions form the criterion that has both the qualities of being rigid and flexiblefor the assessment to be even unadulterated. If the advocates of such systems, by which I mean both who advocate for this system and advocate within this system, be holy with their intentions and their means, we find the qualities of such system to be multiplied several folds.
The success of adversarial system definitely rests on the essence of “integration.” Deendayaal Upadhyaay, late former railway minister of India, wrote a book titles as “Ekatma Maanavataavaad” (Integral Mankind), in which he writes about how the thread of affection glueshuman beings to human beings , this natural integration can be further strengthened to form the humankind a formidable force of the future that sustains “Raam Rajya”. This level of integration can only be achieved, ifwe can provide each and every human being, the right to argue and present its viewpoints.
The corruption within such system, the role of dark forces like money, social influence and all, are considered slightly deviating issues by me but since they define the practical functionality of the system , I must press upon the need of a basic revival of morality in the society that can only be developed by incorporating religion in our day to day life.
Thus the adversarial system not only encourages both positive and negative adversaries but also does provide a practical tool to all for putting forth their thinking and enable the aura of hope to be spread over to enlighten people for the broadmindedness, self limiting its complications. Even if we try to create a system deviating from this, adversaries will always be popping in as it is the universal law of this nature, which ads the flavor of variety to already quite a queer taste of this earthly life. The best way to eliminate any negativity appended with it is to incorporate religious values in our routine life that teaches the path to salvation and not the materialism for perpetual starvation.

Maharashtra, Haryana, Asaam elections

Congress and alliance has been favoured by majority in the elections held recently. Since they were state elections and what we get to know through media is unfortunately half corrupted, it’s difficult to analyse the exact causes of the defeat of BJP and friends as it was considered an election season with full of anti incumbency. I heard a prominent political commentator saying it’s an insignia which is extremely alarming for the BJP since despite having some obvious positives it hadn’t performed up to the mark. When such plight stands, political organizations must seek for fundamental scanning of the ideology and even more importantly the election strategy.
I have been writing it for months now that Congress party is functioning as a corporate company. They know where their profit is for the sake of getting mass support; they have little to do with ideology, principles or rationale. They have got one readymade future leader also who enjoys unconditional support of flatterers around. Their present queen Victoria is extraordinarily cunning to manipulate politics for the benefit. These properties get combined with the notion of the secular and non secular in our country. Present day education is not providing our younger generations with the knowledge of facts pertaining our great ancestral virtues, traditions and culture. Thus citizens are not equipped with the sense of real nationalism, which is not merely having radical feelings on the verge of testing of national physical integrity but lies in the core of Indian culture that teaches us human values and the message of goodwill to entire multiverse, as “Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam.”
I must reiterate the fact that I am not at all an ardent supporter of BJP but what I believe in is truth and justice, though they’re not impeccable yet under present circumstances they’re the some right among many very wrong. It looks like people of thiscountry have decided to go for their convenience rather than national interest. It’s not surprising since they learn about Darwinism more than Geeta, Ramayan, Quraan, Bible, Guru Granth Sahib etc.
The lack of religions’ role in politics is a premier concern of mine. The materialism has got endless potential of alluring the mankind for negative until we don’t feed our way of thinking with the spiritual knowledge bestowed upon us by our predecessors. If I write about the flaws in electoral system, it’ll be another repetition but one thing I must say, the age of voting must be more than 25 years of age and not at all to this present limit, which is grossly hazardous to our democracy.
Ending it by calling for all human beings to think before doing anything and all the best for their future.
