Don’t Vote for Hindutva

On 26th November 2009 terrorist came from another country. They did not only kill 200 people but they wanted to kill the sprit of the Indian people. They wanted to divide India. But it was the people of India who spoiled all of there plans. People of different castes and religion took protest marches to show them that we are Indian first then we are Hindus, Muslim, Sikh or Christian. Even Muslims all across the country wore black arm bands.
But there are people who can not see the real India and its problems. Our problems are poverty, over population, education, health, environment and security. But nowadays who says that “I will build better roads, schools, hospitals” but they say “I will demolish that mosque and built a temple”. Tell me what a patient will do with a temple? What a student will do at a mosque? I am not one who does not believe in God. I truly believe in God. And I don’t know any religion in this world which divides the heart of individuals. And as much I have known from my religious scriptures and form that of the others. God have never said to kill thousands of his people to save him. This have been done by generations of politicians to get there mean work done.
First in the name of crusades, then by the British and now by Varun Gandhi. But there is some thing which separates the latter one from the first two. That is the power of Democracy. BJP is always bragging that they did the Godra incident and still they were voted to power. What I believe that a group of people can mistakes, a state can make mistake but a country. I believe that a country could never make mistakes. This is my country. This is our country. This does not belong to people from my religion neither to some other religion. This country belongs to all of us. My mother has always taught me love my religion but she has never taught me to hate any other religion if I can not love them. I don’t think any one can give a better example of this Indian secularism than me. I have lived in a place were most of them were Sikh. And I think I have been to Gurudwara more than I have been to Mandir. My uncle used to live in Mallerkotla. Were Hindu, Muslim and Sikh are living together. (I have heard a story that during 1947 riots this town was protected by a man on a white horse. So nothing happened in this town.) Even my uncle’s house lord was a Muslim. They loved us so much because they never cared which religion we belong to. I think this is the real India.
Not what these few politicians believe India to be. Even after 26/11‘s tragedy they could never see the grief of the people. A person from the same party commented that the people who wear good clothes and lipstick can’t be the true voice of the India. May be it can’t be because they are not brought by them to support there party. But in reality India have gone far beyond what they expect India to be. They are still gripped by the medieval believes of India. When Indian tricolour have reached the moon.
For centuries different religion and culture have influenced and same our own culture. For centuries people from different caste and religion have lived side by side. People from different castes have fought for our independence side by side. So that they can live side by side. But that dream was shattered up to some extent. I also want to live in this India which is open to all the people in the world. Not in a Hindu India which can only we my home. But it will wall me with the whole of the world. It is because of this India that today I can break the century old rules of castes and work with a Brahmin and a Muslim in the same way. I urge everyone to vote for India. Because I know as a Hindu Brahmin that Hinduism stands for and by truth and truth is not what BJP is telling us. I hope that Indian will vote for schools and hospitals, and not for temples and mosques. This time Indians have to decide that India does not belong to a particular religion but to all who want freedom and liberty.

Blink: Malcolm Gladwell

The author describes the main subject of his book as "thin-slicing": our ability to gauge what is really important from a very narrow period of experience. In other words, spontaneous decisions are often as good as—or even better than—carefully planned and considered ones. Gladwell draws on examples from science, advertising, sales, medicine, and popular music to reinforce his ideas. Gladwell also uses many examples of regular people's experiences with "thin-slicing." Gladwell explains how an expert's ability to "thin slice" can be corrupted by their likes and dislikes, prejudices and stereotypes (even unconscious ones), and how they can be overloaded by too much information. Gladwell also tells us about our instinctive ability to mind read, which is how we can get to know what emotions a person is feeling just by looking at his or her face. We do that by "thin-slicing," using limited information to come to our conclusion. In what Gladwel...

Food Force

Food it is the most important commodity in our life even today when we are living in 21st century. 16 Oct that’s today is the World Food day. Ironically this year world faced one of the worst global food crises. World food reserve went down to there lowest point in 25 years. Food prices soared. This triggered inflation in several countries from Egypt to China. Even riots in Mexico and many West African governments fell when they became unable to give foods to there people. UN even predicted that this could result in rise of terrorism and crime. But still we made through it at least sitting here in India, I feel that. But still when papa says that food prices in the market are touching the sky. I feel there are still a lot of people who are out there not getting the proper amount of food they should get. Different people from different parts of the world cited different reason for this crisis. Some said it is the over consumption of developed world and under consumption of developing wo...

Climate Criminals

There was a seminar on Climate Change and Global Warming in the women' college. And most of the speakers lambasted repeatedly the United States of America for all the climate crises which the world is facing today. Thought there is not an iota of doubt in this fact USA is the biggest polluter on the planet today. But the exaggeration by them is simply the by product of the left (mis)rule which have created anti America but they them selves have done nothing less than what the Americans have done. Cos if they were so responsible to the environment then they could not have created a ministry of environment for sleep only purpose. If it were not the hard efforts and iron will of environmentalists under Subhas Dutta. The smoke spewing 2 stokes could still have been there on the roads of Kolkata to pollute. And we have seen that how reluctant the government was in this case. And the most recent one was the exclusion of Environmental Education marks from the class 12th score when going ...
