Petrol is Costly … Is it?

Taruna

Many of us curse high price of petrol – gasoline! Some of us even ‘vow’ to ‘teach’ a lesson to Modi on that account in the up coming parliamentary general election of 2019. Is petrol really costly? Please feel cool, calculate a bit and check the reality.

Over the weekend, I filled up my car’s fuel tank, and I thought fuel has really become expensive after the recent price hike.

But then I compared it with other common liquids and did some quick calculations, and I felt a little better.

To know why, see the results below – you’ll be surprised at how outrageous some other prices are !

Petrol Rs.80 per litre.

Coca Cola 330 ml can : Rs.27 = Rs.81 per litre.

Dettol antiseptic 100 ml Rs.20 = Rs.200 per litre.

Radiator coolant 500 ml Rs.160 = Rs.320 per litre.

Pantene conditioner 400 ml Rs.165 = Rs.413 per litre.

Medicinal mouthwash like Listerine 100 ml Rs.45 = Rs. 450 per litre.

Red Bull 150 ml can : Rs.75 = Rs.500 per litre.

Corex cough syrup 100 ml Rs.57 = Rs. 570 per litre.

Evian water 500 ml Rs. 330 = Rs. 660 per litre.

Rs. 500 for a litre of WATER !!!

And the buyers don’t even know the source.

By the way, ‘Evian’ spelled backwards comes to ‘Naive’ – are we not naive for paying Rs. 500 for one litre of water and cursing for paying Rs. 80 for one litre of petrol?

Kores whiteout 15 ml Rs. 15 = Rs. 1000 per litre.

Cup of coffee at any decent business hotel 150 ml Rs. 175 = Rs. 1167 per litre.

Old Spice after shave lotion 100 ml Rs. 175 = Rs. 1750 per litre.

Pure almond oil 25 ml Rs. 68 = Rs. 2720 per litre.

And this is the REAL KICKER:

HP deskjet colour ink cartridge 21 ml Rs.1900 = Rs. 90476 per litre!!!

Now you know why computer printers are so cheap? They have hooked you for the ink !

So, the next time you’re at the pump, don’t curse – just be glad that your car doesn’t run on cough syrup, after shave, coffee, or God forbid, printer ink !

Sterlite and ‘Make-in-India’: Church-NGO-Left Kill the Star !

$

0

By: Sudarsh V. – edited and enlarged by: Shreepal Singh

If we let ‘Commie Church NGO’ gangs screw our industries how India will progress, is the issue before this country. India will have to resolve this issue with iron hand – and permanently – if this country wants to progress and compete with the fast moving world.

Without resolving this issue – this threat – there is not much substance in the ambitious ‘Make in India’ initiative of the Modi government.

Images conjure before our eyes of Erin Brockovich, Sterlite copper, Anil Agarwal, Medha Patkar, Aamir Khan and Environmental make-believe cruseders. One wonders how these ‘Make-believe’ environmental cruseders cry foul of up coming industries and dams in India but suddenly fall deafingly silent when India takes to the path of ‘Solar Energy’ and shows the way to the world in producing an alternative source of energy!

Julia Roberts had played an environmental activist named Erin in the Movie ‘Erin Brockovich’ and won Oscar for it. It was my favourite ‘Heroine Oriented’ Hollywood movie of all time, till Gal Gadot beat Julia with her comic fantasy Wonder Woman Man. I used to get so inspired by Erin’s character that I seriously thought I would take up environmental activism as a profession!

But today I have realised that a fictional character like wonder woman is always far better than a real character Erin, which later proves to be more fictional than a fictional character. Atleast fictional character entertains us and doesn’t harm us like the real one. This I have learnt at a great price to my country!

Erin became world famous when she took on Pacific Gas and Light Co. and proved that it was releasing toxic chromium into water which increased cancer in the neighbourhood.

It won the hearts and minds of the Jury who awarded compensation of 333 million dollars (2000 crore rupees). Erin became an instant celebrity and booked movies and TV interviews, earning a fortune.

But later it was proved that the cancer rate in that areas was lesser than normal in any other area; and that the chromium in water increased cancer rates was a fake story.

And – it was also proved – in the settlement money the lawyer company that fought for Erin got 133 million Dollars and Erin herself got 2.5 million dollars as bonus! Everyone got rich except the company in question, which had gone bankrupt !

The chromium released had happened in 1950s when technlogy was poor and when no one knew the chromium can cause cancer. So you punished me today for a crime which was not even a crime when I did it. It is like fining me in 2018 for not wearing a seat belt in 1960 when the seat belt itself was not invented.

Similar thing has happened in India with Narmada dam. Medha Patkar left Germany and came to India and seemingly sacrificed her life to fight against a Dam which obviously looked an environmental disaster and displaced lakhs of tribals refugees from their homes. Everyone supported her cause for decades.

Aamir Khan sat on dharna with Narmada protesters and when Gujarat boycotted his movie, Modi and Gujaratis were declared heartless villians of this piece.

But today it is proved that Narmada is a great boon to millions of farmers in 3 states and has changed their economy. And due to decades of protests we spent 10 times more money on building this dam than was needed in the normal course. And in addition to that, the loss of farmers who didn’t get water for decades cant even be calculated.

Take another case. Tamilnadu is a great state. Dr Abdul Kalam is perhaps the greatest Tamilian in the history of independent India. But the ordinary people here charmed by the propaganda of motivated NGOs didn’t listen to him when he said Kudankulam nuclear plant is safe.

They listened to these foreign funded NGOs, Churches, ISI sponsored double agents and Tamil chauvinists, and protested against nuclear plant!

I do not know if there is a bigger humanist or a patriot than Dr Kalam and why he would support any thing which kills people or cause pollution.

Nuclear energy is zillion times safer and non polluting than burning fossil fuels, which we import by paying money to Saudi Arabia and Gulf countries – tonnes of money! So the net result is that the people who don’t want nuclear energy are happy with pollution of softcoke, diesel and petrol!

And see the irony, these so called environmentalists never support Modi’s solar energy initiative which is appreciated world over. So much for their love of Green Earth.

Sterlite copper is now the new villain of this environmental drama. It is closed due to protests where 13 people – egged on by such foreign funded and Church supported NGOs – have lost their lives.

Everyone is saying Sterlite copper is causing cancer and polluting the environment. But there is no data to prove it. It is just like Goebbels propaganda. If 1000 people repeat the same lie it becomes a truth. All the data quoted by Church and foreign funded NGOs are from  the years 2008-11.

The latest data says the pollutants released by Sterlite is 1/3 of what is prescribed by Pollution Control board. The Sulphur dioxide released into air is causing respiratory disease says Church; but the fact is SO2 is captured by Sterlite and converted into Suphric acid, which is a valuable commodity. So why will they release it into air and waste a valuable thing ?

In last 3-4 years, Sterlite has tremendously improved pollution control technology. Vendanta had brought an old plant built with old technlogy and converted it into a world class copper plant, which produces 35 percent of Indian copper and even exports it to China. Since copper demand is increasing and we still import copper it had gone for expansion.

Sterlite is rated 5 star by CII in Enviromental Health and Safety norms. It is given Sword of honor by British safety council. Every years it wins tonnes of awards for water conservation, energy conservation, Quality safety environment, CSR and HR policy.

Why would such a world class company pollute environment ?

Anil Agarwal the owner of Vedanta is India’s biggest Philanthropist. He has given 75 percent of his wealth to Charity. It is 21000 Crores. So the logic is that a guy who gives so much money to charity will kill people as he doesn’t want to spend a few hundred Crores of rupees on pollution control ?

What will he gain by this ? His whole company is closed. Is he a fool to do so? It is 1000s of crore of loss. It is in addition to1000s of job losses to this country.

Such a bad name is it in the market now. It is a disaster for Vedanta – one of India’s biggest MNCs. It was a pride for India. Today it is a black Mark for India.

Will anyone take such risk ? No one!

I don’t think China is behind it as Chinese themselves import copper from Chile. So they cant supply cheap copper to India if Vedanta closes. It looks more like a ‘Commie Church Dravidian NGOs’ combine taking on a ‘Hindu Hindi Company’.

In all this the biggest loser is the Indian manufacturing sector. You cant create millions of job without having a big manufacturing base. China is rich as it is the manufacturing capital of world. Europe USA East Asia all became developed due to big manufacturing facilities.

How will India prosper by bypassing manufacturing ?

It is biggest defeat to Modi’s Make in India initiative. Who will invest in a country where a Church and a NGO can organise protests and close down a 5000 Cr industry permanently by just spending a few lakhs of rupees on protests.

Any rival company, any rival nation – Pakistan, China, anyone – can use this technique to screw us.

If there is pollution prove it with data. Then fine the company and let it improve its pollution control standard or shut down if it can’t.

You cant close an industry which provides jobs to 1000s of people as some church pastor didn’t like it.

List of Willful Defaulters in India- Bank-wise with their Names

Shall we call it the “Loot List” of India? And, then, when were these “loans” granted to the looters? In addition to the looters, who had connived and facilitated this loot? They all must be caught and brought before the law.

Public knowledge reveals that most of all these “loans” (camouflaged as loans with the intention not to ever repay them) were granted before 2014, that is, before the Modi government came into power.

After four years since 2014, there is now a good news in 2018: Under the legal force of “Bankruptcy Code”, these defaulters are turning up back to “repay” their loans. Bhushan Steel, who had a whopping amount of more than Rs. 36, 000 Crores as “loan” against it,  has been sold under the provision of this Code and bought by the Tatas for 36,000 Crores, which amount is deposited in Bank and liable to be taken back as repayment of that loan.

Also, it is a public knowledge that, taking a cue from the fate of Bhushan Steel under this Code, 2100 defaulter companies have now approached their creditor Banks to “repay their loans”!! It is a good news for Indians !!

Here is the list:

To Help Further Scientific Research, Ante-date Indian History!

$

By: Shreepal Singh

Can the history of any country be ante-dated without research? Is the ‘research’ a first requirement for correcting any claims that one may make about the history of a country? It seems obvious that no claim of a historical value can ever be accepted as the correct one without the scientific research supporting such claim. The normal sequence seems to be: First do research and make discovery; and, then make a claim of the discovered historical facts.

But can one proceed in the reverse direction: First look into the claims; and, then conduct research into their truthfulness? Yes, it can be done in certain circumstances and there is nothing wrong in this approach. In the Indian context, what are those circumstances that justify the making of a scientific inquiry into claims of Indian history? Let us refer to some of these circumstances.

First: We find that in the excavation of the buried towns or cities of Mohenjo Daro, Harappa, Rakhigarhi, Dholavira etc. the houses were built by their inhabitants with ‘fired bricks’. How did the people know the firing of the bricks? How could they use ‘bricks’ and not some ready-made material like stones in their houses? We find all the bricks were of a `fixed’ size. It requires the knowledge of mathematics to calculate the sizes of houses and bricks to make those houses; it requires the sufficiently developed technology at their disposal to make, measure and fire those bricks. The houses and lanes / roads in these habitations were laid in geometrical patterns. It again required the mathematical knowledge at their disposal to measure and lay down those roads etc. This fact – the evidence that they made and fired bricks, laid their ways in a calculated manner – proves that these people were the inheritors of an earlier civilization. We must leave a scope for such claims to make our further inquiry.

Two: In almost all the ancient oral traditions around the world, we find mention of a ‘Great Flood’. It is mentioned in ancient Hindu sacred books – ‘Adi Manu’ (or the progenitor of mankind), who had saved himself along with other living beings in that flood. It is mentioned in the Christian sacred books – ‘Nohva’s Arch’ etc. If there is a collective oral memory of humanity at large of such a great flood, is it not reasonable to look into this claim – and the claim that there was a great civilization before that catastrophic flood? The history of life on Earth – and the history of intelligent animals that we call Homo sapiens or even Nianthethal people or lost races of pygmies – is really very long. You cannot confine this history within a short span of the last 10, 000 or so years!

Three: Is it ever possible that once there was some highly developed technology, which was mainstream but all the people who had used that technology died in some catastrophic event or calamity – leaving only a dim memory of that technology in the minds of those few who survived that calamity? It is reasonable to assume it is possible. Just imagine if there is an all out atomic war on our Earth, substantially all life would be wiped out but still a few people – here and there, say under sea, in caves, in bunkers etc. – may survive this event. Would they not carry with them and their children the memory of computers, planes, atom bombs, missiles etc.? Certainly, they would.

Four: We find in ancient Hindu traditioeel’, ns and even in books the mention of ‘Pushpak Viman’ – flying machine; ‘Sudarshan Chakra’ – a missile that hit the target and came back to the one who launched it; ‘Ram Setu’ – a bridge over the sea between India and Sri Lanka claimed to have been built by ‘Nal and Neel’, the two engineers of Rama; Sanjay describing to Dhratrashtra from afar the events of war of Mahabharata – something akin to Television of today. It could be all false claims; but it could be all be true ones also! There is need to look into such claims and not to shame people who hint at the possibility of such claims being true. The first requirement of science – and scientific temperament – is to always remain open in mind.

Somebody has proposed a sheet anchors of Indian chronological history to stand on and proceed further in a scientific inquiry into this time span. Here is this sheet anchor:

आतंकवाद 2004 से 2014 तक –क्या कांग्रेस का कोई बडा नेता पाकिस्तान से मिला हुआ था ?

पंडित मधु सूदन व्यास

भारत मे 2004 से 2014 के दौरान घटी आतंकवादी घटनाओं को देख कर यह संदेह बहुत गहरा हो जाता है कि क्या पाकिस्तानी आतंक भी कांग्रेस का प्रायोजित था?

2004 से लेकर 2014 तक इस देश में कश्मीर को छोड़कर कितनी आतंकी घटनाये हुयी ? उनका विवरण यह है:

मुम्बई, १३ जून २०११ : तीन स्थानों पर बम विस्फोट. बीस से अधिक मृत तथा सैकड़ों घायल.

फरवरी, 2010: महाराष्ट्र के पुणे शहर की मशहूर जर्मन बेकरी को आतंकवादियों ने निशाना बनाया। इसमें 16 लोग मारे गए, जिनमें से काफी विदेशी भी थे। एक बार फिर इंडियन मुजाहिदीन को जिम्मेदार ठहराया गया।

मुंबई, 26 नवम्बर 2008 : भारत की आर्थिक राजधानी मुंबई में आतंकवादियों ने घुसकर तीन दिनों तक दहशत फैलाई।

पांचसितारा होटलों और रेल्वे स्टेशन पर हुए बम धमाकों में 166 लोग मारे गए। भारत के ब्लैक कैट कमांडो की कार्रवाई में पाकिस्तानी नागरिक आमिर अजमल कसाब को छोड़ कर सारे आतंकवादी मारे गए।

हमले की साजिश पाकिस्तान में रचे जाने की पुष्टि हुई।

असम, 30 अक्टूबर 2008 : असम में 18 आतंकवादी हमलों में कम से कम 77 लोग मारे गए और सौ से ज्यादा लोग घायल हो गए।

इंफाल, 21 अक्टूबर 2008 : मणिपुर पुलिस कमांडो परिसर के नजदीक शक्तिशाली विस्फोट में 17 लोग मारे गए।

मालेगाँव (महाराष्ट्र), 29 सितंबर 2008 : भीड़भाड़ वाले बाजार में मोटरसाइकिल में रखे विस्फोटकों के विस्फोट होने से पाँच लोगों की मौत।

मोदासा (गुजरात), 29 सितंबर 2008 : एक मस्जिद के नजदीक कम तीव्रता वाले बम विस्फोट में एक की मौत, कई घायल।

नई दिल्ली, 27 सितंबर 2008 : महरौली के भीड़भाड़ वाले बाजार में बम फेंकने से तीन लोगों की मौत।

नई दिल्ली, 13 सितंबर 2008 : शहर के विभिन्न हिस्सों में छह बम विस्फोटों में 26 लोगों की मौत।

अहमदाबाद, 26 जुलाई 2008 : दो घंटे से कम समय के भीतर 20 बम विस्फोटों में 57 लोगों की मौत।

बेंगलुरु, 25 जुलाई 2008 : कम तीव्रता के बम विस्फोट में एक व्यक्ति की मौत।

जयपुर, 13 मई 2008 : सिलसिलेवार बम विस्फोट में 68 लोगों की मौत।

रामपुर, जनवरी 2008 : रामपुर में सीआरपीएफ शिविर पर आतंकवादी हमले में आठ की मौत।*

अजमेर, अक्टूबर 2007 : राजस्थान के अजमेर शरीफ में रमजान के समय दरगाह के अंदर विस्फोट में दो की मौत।

हैदराबाद, अगस्त 2007 : हैदराबाद में आतंकवादी हमले में 30 की मौत, 60 घायल।

हैदराबाद, मई 2007 : हैदराबाद की मक्का मस्जिद में विस्फोट में 11 की मौत।

फरवरी 2007 : भारत से पाकिस्तान जाने वाली ट्रेन में दो बम विस्फोटों में कम से कम 66 यात्री जल मरे, जिनमें अधिकतर पाकिस्तानी थे।

मालेगाँव, सितंबर 2006 : मालेगाँव के एक मस्जिद में दोहरे बम विस्फोट में 30 लोगों की मौत और सौ लोग घायल।

मुंबई, जुलाई 2006 : मुंबई की ट्रेनों में सात बम विस्फोटों में 200 से ज्यादा लोगों की मौत और 700 अन्य घायल।

वाराणसी, मार्च 2006 : वाराणसी के एक मंदिर और रेलवे स्टेशन पर दोहरे बम विस्फोट में 20 लोगों की मौत।

अक्टूबर 2005 : दीवाली से एक दिन पहले नई दिल्ली के व्यस्त बाजारों में तीन बम विस्फोटों में 62 लोगों की मौत और सैकड़ों लोग घायल।

इनमें कुछ घटनाओं को योजनाबद्ध रूप से भगवा साजिश का नाम दिया गया। भगवा आतंकवाद का नाम दिया गया।निर्दोष लोगों को फसाया गया।

मुंबई की घटना में अजमल कसाब के पकडे जाने के बाद भी दिग्विजय सिंह ने मुंबई में एक पुस्तक विमोचित करी की 26 /11 आरएसएस की साजिश है।

अब नवाज शरीफ का हालिया बयान दिग्विजय सिंह के सर पर कस कर मारा गया चमरौधा है परन्तु फिर भी वह नहीं सुधरेंगे। भले ही शरीफ का बयान उनकी नाक काट रहा हो।

इन सबमे एक विचित्र संयोग मिलता है।

यह सब घटनाये UPA के समय ही क्यों घटित हुयी ?

क्या UPA के नेता इन घटनाओं से कही न कही जुड़े रहे है ?

अन्यथा यह घटनाये तो अब भी होती !

परन्तु विगत चार सालों में कश्मीर को छोड़कर केवल पठानकोट घटना को छोड़कर बाकि जगह शांति क्यों ?

क्या इन घटनाओं की रचना UPA के नेता अपनी सुविधा से पाकिस्तानियों से मिलकर करवाते रहे ?

इस स॔देह की और अधिक पुशटी इस बात से भी होती है कि बाद मे चलकर काग्रेसी नेता मणी शंकर अययर ने पाकिसतान मे बैठ कर पाकिसतानियों से कहा कि “मोदी को हटाइये, हमे लाइये”, जिस पर पाकिसतानी ने कहा कि यह तो आप ही करेंगे। वीडियो देखें। इस बात का कया अथॆ है?

इस बात का एक ही अथॆ है: पाकिसतान  1947 से अब तक जो भारत के खिलाफ करता आया है वह सब जानते हैं, पाकिसतान के हित मे वह चालू रहना चाहिये और इस बात पर कांग्रेस और पाकिसतान एक मत हैं – यानि कांग्रेस और पाकिसतान मिले हुए हैं !!

और भगवा आतंकवाद पर अब जो कुछ बाहर आ रहा है उस से ऐसा लगता है की UPA का बड़ा नेता वर्ग पाकिस्तान से जुड़ा रहा है। उस से पैसा लेता रहा है।

अब वह सब बंद हो रहा है तो सारे यह भिखारी बिलबिला रहे हैं !!

Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s ‘Infidel’ stresses Islam to come out of ‘Mental Cage’ !

 Parmanand Pandey

By and large, all religions are repressive. Some religions, however, provide more space and freedom for agreements or disagreements and debates and discussions. But Islam is the one such religion that does not yield even an inch of disagreement. There is no room for any debate or discussion in it. You must blindly follow what has been ordained to you. The punishment for apostasy in Islam is death and nothing less.

This is the crux of the ‘Infidel’, the unputdownable autobiography of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, which is an international bestseller. Hirsi Ali, now 48-year-old was born in Somalia, the most poverty-ridden country in the world.

She is the first daughter of her father’s second wife. Her father left her mother in the lurch, with three children, to marry a Kenyan woman. Her mother was deserted by her first husband also but she was then issueless which qualified her to marry her father, who was a political activist and living in exile for fear of being persecuted by the authoritarian regime of Somalia.

Hirsi Ali has had to live in Islamic countries like Somalia, Yemen, Ethiopia and in Christian/Muslim country Kenya. She had to undergo the most barbaric practice of vaginal excision, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), to ensure the virginity until her marriage.

Her first marriage with her cousin was a flop which lasted only for a few days. The second marriage was arranged by her father with Kenyan Canadian, which also did not last for more than a week. She became a refugee in Holland, contested election to win to become the member of the Dutch Parliament. Now she lives in the USA and is married to Niall Ferguson, a British historian.

Hirsi Ali was a devout Muslim but when she read the philosophers like Immanuel Kant, Spinoza, Leibnitz and political thinkers like Voltaire, her eyes and brain got opened and she found to her utter dismay that how Islam has mentally caged nearly two billion people across the world.

She says in her famous book ‘Infidel” that ‘Islam is like a mental cage. At first, when you open the door, the caged bird stays inside: it is frightened. It has internalised its imprisonment. It takes time for the bird to escape, even after someone has opened the doors to its cage.’

The fear of Islam is visible even in the most developed countries of the world particularly after the horrible incident of 9/11 in America and now the entire civilised world is face to face with the menace of Islamists. The ISIS and other Wahabi Islamic outfits have posed the greatest threat and danger to the humanity and civilisation.

It has made the situation explosive even in a country like Holland, where even prostitution and soft drugs are licit. Where euthanasia and abortion are practised, where men cry on T.V. and naked people walk on the beach and the Pope is joked about.

But people are afraid of speaking against Islam which, in her words, epitomises barbarianism. She further says that ‘Islam is the only religion which divides the society into ‘US’ and ‘THEM’- if you do not accept Islam you should perish, which further says that if you do not go out and fight against ‘THEM’, God will punish you severely and put others in your place’. Therefore, ‘whenever you meet the polytheists, kill them, besiege them and ambush them. Whenever you meet unbelievers, strike them in the neck’.

She has quoted Osama Bin Laden, who declared that ‘do not take Jews and Christians as friends; they are allies only to each other. Anyone who takes them as an ally becomes one of them.’ The Hadith says, ‘the hour of judgement will not come until the Muslim fight the Jews or kill them.’

Hirsi Ali avers that a religion which is so intolerant towards others can never be the religion of peace and brotherhood. In Islam, the relationship of an individual to God is one of total submission like that of a slave to master. To Muslims worship of God means total obedience to Allah and total abstinence from the thoughts and deeds that HE has declared forbidden in Quran.

Hirsi Ali is intrigued that Allah is constantly referred in the Quran as the ‘most compassionate and most merciful’ but why does HE not allow a little debate?

There is no freedom to the woman in Islam as she has been declared to be the ‘tillage’ of man. She has to remain veiled as the skin of her body if seen to a man, brings Satanic tendencies in him. Therefore, she must ensure that the man is not consumed by the Satanic forces by seeing any part of the woman’s body.

And that is why; Muslim women are supposed to have no faces. Women should cover their bodies even in front of a blind man, even in their own houses, that women must have to remain in the care of men, that women should obey their husbands, that women are worth half a man, that to abjure her faith is the worst kind of disobedience to God; because she comes from the lowest, most impure element in society. A Muslim woman must obey her husband, that if you refuse your husband and he rapes you, that is your fault.

Allah says that husbands should beat their wives if they misbehave; it is in Quran. (page 244 of her ‘Infidel’). Here Hirsi Ali becomes pensive with thought and says that the societies which do not respect the rise of the women are bound to remain poor and disturbed.

This is why, the societies, which have belief in equality of man and woman find themselves paralysed with pain at such state of affairs in Islamic countries. Hirsi Ali has told many things about Prophet Mohammad in the book. For instance; he remained in monogamy until the age of 50, when his first wife, who was 15 years senior to him died. He married his adopted son’s widow and also to his friends six-year-old Aisha but consummated the marriage when she became nine. He had many wives, at least nine or ten.

Hirsi is of the view that with the development of science and technology and spread of modern education among women, their shackles will get broken as only the educated women can be the harbinger of freedom.

The book is absorbing and must be read by the Muslims intelligentsia.

As a matter of fact, the Muslims from the democratic countries like India should come forward to see that the equality of men and women are respected, and primitive religious laws are done away with. And only then the society will leapfrog from fossilized time zone to the most vibrant and dynamic space.

Modern education gives wings to fly and it should not be clipped. Will Muslims hearken her plaintive call?

Maoist Plot to Kill PM – A Grand Planning !!

$

By: Shreepal Singh

The greatest obstacle before the Maoists for taking over whole of India by force is the ‘established’ nature of State institutions.

In India, there is a well running institution of holding periodic elections of political forces that are to take the reins of these State institutions. Then, there are the armed forces, judicial system, bureaucracy running these institutions, political parties vying each other to reach to the top of this institutional pyramid.

This institutional pyramid has an unquestioned confidence of Indian people. It is this ‘established’ nature of Indian State institutions that Maoists fear the most in their calculated design of forward march to power.

Their dream of expanding their ‘armed guerrilla forces’ to all parts of India – where their political power running through the barrel of gun may decide the fate of this country – is dashed against this iron wall of the established Indian institutions and people’s confidence in them.

How to demolish this iron wall, is the question before the Maoists.

It has been calculated by the highest coterie of these Maoists that it can be demolished by designing a civil war in India and this is what has been exposed by the Delhi and Pune police joint team in the seized document from Rona Wilson. This act on the part of Maoists would have been something like “removing a latch” of a boulder to release its hold, make it slide down the slope on its own, hit it against that strong wall and create a breach therein.

This dislodging of the latch – the trigger for unleashing a civil war on India – was to be provided by the planned assassination of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

It was a smooth plan calling for a very little – or no – investment on their part except a squad of two or three suicide bombers.

One can very well see through their plan:

  1. Assassinate the popular PM.
  2. He is a hugely popular leader and those who adore him will surely hit back – but hit back at whom?

  3. Nobody knows – rummer will have a field day. Public ire may be easily directed against Muslims, which had nothing to do with the act but in public imagination could be seen doing it.  Muslims would naturally retaliate. It will start a myhm in India on an unprecedented scale.

  4. If the suicide bombers are somehow identified by the security agencies, then their past Dalit credentials – their recent participation in the Bheema Koregaon Dalit show – would turn the popular ire against Dalits, though Dalit had nothing to do with the ghastly act. Dalits would naturally retaliate to the assault on them.

  5. This will give an opportunity to  Maoists to array all segments of so-called Dalits – like Adivasi, Mulnivasi, Dravids, aborigines –  against the Hindus in general and North India in particular.

  6. This will split India into two – a full-fledged civil war in India that no army could ever manage to control. Anybody can foresee such outcome of their act – certainly Maoists could not have missed it.

  7. The above stated (3) and / or (4) situations would have opened an unprecedented opportunity for Maoists for the recruitment of their cadre. They would appeal the disgruntled to join them – they who already had an army to fight the Indian State. They would show their credentials as the champions of Muslims and Dravids and on this strength would appeal them to join their ranks.

Now this was the Maoists’ plan to capture in India political power by force. Exposing their plan by the security agencies is not defeating of Maoists.

Maoists wage war against India at two fronts: Ideological war against what India and her history stand for; and war on the ground by organizing an armed guerrilla force.

How can India defeat Maoists?

Before defeating Maoists, Indian will need to defeat Maoism.

Maoism is more powerful than its recruited foot soldiers; the later one can be decimated by using the force of Indian State but not the former one. In the present episode, the Indian State must go after this Maoist gang of criminals – with all their helpers and collaborators – and bring them to justice. But this is one part of the story of Maoists and Maoism.

Maoism can sprout again and again, till it is uprooted ideologically. Professors, writers, historians, research scholers, intellectual genius etc. are the careers of the virus of Maoism. They live in universities, colleges and cities and not in jungles – aptly referred as urban Naxalism.

Then, how can India with a splendid history of at least 5000 years behind it defeat Maoism decisively?

The father of all strains of Leftism – including Maoism – is Karl Marx. They all suck life giving oxygen from Marx, which is no less of a prophet of a new age to them.

In him, they all find the light, a hope, a program – the light, a hope, a program against ordinary people’s real miseries and injustice. These ordinary people’s miseries and a belligerent program in Marxism with a hope to liberate them from those miseries is not confined to India alone; this dream of liberation sweeps the entire globe.

India has the caliber to defeat Marxism – and its grandchild Maoism – intellectually and save this planet from this menace of loving ideals with brute reality. India has the capacity to replace this menace with better and realistic ideals, and an effective program to realize them.

Indian government must take this work on priority basis not only to save itself against the repetition of episodes like this plan to kill a PM but also to save this country against civil strife and disintegration.

How to defeat Maoism and its grandfather Marxism?

India must hunt for and put in place those intellectuals who are the masters of Marxism and have been intellectually able to go beyond Marxism to spiritualism with a scientific flavor. Finding people with such an intellectual accomplishment is not an easy thing – such people are not a commonplace thing; it requires scholarship and a devotion of one’s entire life to such an intellectual achievement.

Hitherto the approach of Indian thinkers in fighting Leftism – Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism, Che Guerra, Maoism – has been to explain their own intellectual or spiritual position, while condemning Leftism.

It is fruitless approach. It is like English speaking person talking to a Chinese speaking person – in the intellectual context. Here, none of the two antagonists understands the other one. They live in different worlds; they have their own axioms to stand on and their own peculiar definitions to argue with. Between them there is no meeting ground, where they could wrestle with each other to win the trophy.

Such an approach of Indian thinkers and Indologists does not demolish Marxism on its own turf and hence it has no intellectual sheen like Marxism that attracts the best of minds in our universities. Instead, intellectual India must go to their den, call out them in their own intellectual language and wrestle with them on their own turf with their philosophical axioms and definitions. Nothing less than this will do, if we want to get rid our universities and colleges of these ‘Leftist stalwarts’ presently reigning there as  the champions of the down-trodden and the exploited poor !  Let there be a school – a teaching facility – of Marxism to demolish it point by point on its vital veins.

These points for their demolition must include:
1. Dialectics
2. Materialism
3. Dialectical Materialism
4. Class Struggle
5. State – Marxist view
6. State and Revolution – Marxist view
7. Socialism – Marxist view
8. Communism – Marxist view
9. Life of Stalin, Mao etc.
10. Fate of Communism in Russia
11. Fate of Communism in China
12. Spiritualism, Materialism and Science
13. Rebirths, Krishna, Buddha, Mahavir, Nanak
14. Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo
15. Gita, Dhammapada, Guru Granth
16. History of India since Mohenjo Daro
17. History of world and Wars
18. Nuclear Age and Nuclear War
19. Proletariat to Humanity – Artificial Intelligence, Bio & Nano technologies
20. Crisis of Humanity & Solution – New Age, Sri Aurobindo’s Vision, Role of India in Awakening the World, Human Opening to Future.


Pranab Mukherji stands for an Old ‘Nehruvian Stereotype’ India !

(1) of (2): By: R. Veera Raghavan, Advocate, Chennai

Former President Pranab Mukherjee addressed volunteers of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh at its Nagpur headquarters on the 7th of this month. His speech was keenly awaited by leaders of the RSS, while his very presence at an RSS meet was openly disfavoured by the Congress party.  Now what he spoke matters.

“Any attempts at defining our nationhood in terms of dogmas and identities of religion, region, hatred and intolerance will only lead to dilution of our national identity…… We derive our strength from tolerance ……” were some of the formal high-sounding words Pranab Mukherjee uttered at Nagpur.  At one end these words seem to convey right and noble thoughts, but at the other end they really ride over reality. Anyone who remembers the bloodied history of India’s many regions and the attack on its ancient Hindu religion – the assault continuing to this day in creeping milder forms– will know that the former President skillfully said nothing worth remembering.

No one quarrels with Pranab that “hatred and intolerance” cannot be the proud hallmarks of a nation’s character. Hatred generally connotes a blind unreasoned dislike for another person, and it cannot help a peaceful society.  As for intolerance, no doubt the former President spoke of it as a cousin of hatred, i.e., an attitude that allows little room for free speech and legitimate dissent in a democracy.  So far so good. As for “dogmas of religion”, we know that the Indian Constitution does not allow such dogmas guiding the affairs of central and state governments – as in the Vatican City or in Saudi Arabia. So dogmas are not a real issue with anyone.

What Pranab spoke in the same breath calls for criticism.

Pranab said that our nationhood is not to be defined in terms of “identities of religion, region” also. Did he mean that no one should imagine India as a Hindu nation or Muslim nation or Christian nation or a nation of any other religion? No, he meant only one religion. He spoke his words when, amidst forced and enticed conversions witnessed all through in India, Hindus make up for nearly 80% of India’s population, Muslims 14% and persons of other religions 6% – according to 2011 census. He frowned on “identities of region” when followers of the majority religion in India consider Kasi, Mathura, Ayodhya and Rameswaram among their holy places and the Ganges and a few other rivers specially sacred, and so hold the whole of India dear to them.

India is the heartland of Hindus. Hindus take pride in being Hindus and passionately look upon India as a Hindu nation, with its fabled Hindu history and epics. Though Indian Hindus speak different languages, their religion is their unifying force.  It is the deep widespread Hindu faith of its people that holds India together, and nothing else comes close, not even the Constitution. Then why should they not feel proud about something that keeps them together and not say it aloud too?  Whom does it bother if they do it?

Though Pranab did not specify a religion, obviously he sensed an urge among Indian Hindus to view India as a Hindu nation and so he spoke of it disapprovingly. If their urge was not real and widespread, he would not have talked about a non-existent wish among any sizeable group of people.  So it is clear he was really cautioning about the Indian Hindus.

No other country, no other people, will find it odd that Hindus of India consider their land a Hindu nation – just as, for good reason, Pakistanis look at their land as a Muslim nation or the Israelis call their country a Jewish state.  It is some Indians who, aiming for domestic political gains, do not relish Indian Hindus calling India a Hindu nation. Congressmen in India take this stance in the hope of harvesting bulk votes in some quarters. Perhaps the Congressman in Pranab intrinsically got the better of the Hindu in him.

Every society may look upon something it possesses to feel special and proud about itself. Such a feeling binds them more and helps their progress.  That sentiment is to be welcomed and applauded, so long as it is not a tool to subjugate or attack other people.  For Indian Hindus, forming 80% of the Indian population, their religion and their land are special.  They will naturally identify their country with them and with their religion, even as they are friendly with religious minorities.  Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism are religions born in India, out of the  Hindu religion, but to this day Hindus keep friendly relations with people of those faiths. That is enough proof that Hindus are a tolerant society, not easily found elsewhere. But if some religions and their heads pose a threat to Hindu beliefs and culture, why will Hindus of today not resist and rally among themselves to guard their religion against that threat?

It was because India’s regions and Hindu religion were tolerant to other faiths – and overly accommodating too – that foreign religions could enter and thrive in India.  As late as 1950 when India’s Constitution was adopted, when Hindus formed 84% of the Indian population as found in the census of 1951, some special favors too were conferred on religious minorities. Which other people of a country have denied some special favors to themselves, though forming 84% of the population, while granting them to religious minorities under a Constitution? You will find not even one example in the entire world of such a willing ‘self-denial’ of the majority people and a offering ‘favorable-treatment’ of the minority people(s) – except in the case of India, India that is a land of Hindus!

And, which other people of a country other than India have allowed themselves to slowly but steadily ‘go down in numbers’ (in a democracy where numbers mean everything) in their own land in comparison to the minority people(s)? None! It is being allowed by the majority – Hindus – notwithstanding the fact that this land was once conquered and ruled by people of other faiths who are now growing in size within the country, and thus facing the prospect of its majority religion slowly and steadily turned into a minority!!

And, see the irony of the situation, still Hindus are getting a rap from a former President for being naturally proud of their ‘region and religion’ !!  Out of this bakwas, let my country awake and awake early.

Pranab Mukherji comes from Bengal, a place that taught India in the voice of Swami Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo what Indian nationalism stands for. But unfortunately Pranabda did not seem to know the A B Cs of what these two great sons of Mother India taught.

He is a learned man, comes from the place where these great personalities played their epoch making roles and has been the President of India, and he is supposed to know what they taught. Alas, he apparently seems to know nothing.

He spoke at the RSS meet by quoting dictionary about the meaning of nationalism and about the ‘need of an Indian nationalism that is inclusive and diverse.’ Does he not know that in India Hindus are in overwhelming majority and it is because of these Hindus that India and Indian nationalism have been inclusive of all kinds of diversity –  religious and not religious? Who have been accommodated – and included – here by Hindus – they who do not accommodate others where they are in Hindu like majority! He should have underlined this merit of Hindu nationalism in his address but he parroted a Nehruvian punchlines by implication that RSS’ brand Hindu nationalism should be ‘inclusive of diversity’ as if it had a history of atrocities on non-conforming diverse segments.

Why did Pranabda fail to underscore this reality? Perhaps, he is too indebted to Congress – because we give him a benefit of doubt that he is naive or a fool !

‘Bronze Age’ Chariot, Swords, Mirror Excavated at Sanauli in India

By: Alakshendra Tripathi

Royal burials like chariots, swords and caskets with ornamental motifs along with other remains dating back to 2200 BC – 1800 BC of the ‘Bronze Age’ have been found at Sanauli village – an excavation site of Archeological Survey of India – in Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh on Monday.

The remains of a chariot, four copper antenne swords, copper crowns, greyware pottery, wheels (some without spokes), ornaments, helmets, shields, two daggers, seven channel-like objects  and human
remains were found following the excavation which had been going on in Sanauli for the last five months since February 15, 2018.

On the basis of the remains excavated from this archaeologically rich site indicate that people of that era belonged to warrior class and were habitual of a very sophisticated lifestyle. Not only the swords have copper-covered hilts and a medial ridge making it strong enough for warfare, but the shields, torch and daggers have also been found indicate of classy ways of living.

According to Archaeologist RK Srivastava, that era which dated back to 5,000 years from now, belonged to Harappan civilization and the remains found by the excavators may be of that era only.

“The discovery of a chariot puts us at par with other ancient civilizations, like Mesopotamia, Greece, etc. where chariots were extensively used. It seems a warrior class thrived in this region in the past,” said SK Manjul, head of the archaeology team and director Institute of Archaeology, ASI. He adds that the findings will throw light on India’s place in the ancient world history.

However, when asked if the remains belonged to ‘Mahabharat’ era, the experts could not say anything with confidence. As on a casket measuring over 8 ft with a skeleton inside was excavated, Srivastava
said it could be of some royal personality of yore. However, the ornaments, comb, mirror, torch, hundreds of small cylindrical paste beads and triangle and rectangular inlays, semiprecious and gold beads, precious stones, pearls and other things indicate that the civilization then existed might have been quite prosperous.

Moreover, royal burial pits have also been found from the site and surprisingly, not very deep under the ground. As per the experts, while at places the remains were spotted at 1-2 ft under the ground, at some other places they had to dig till 5ft to reach the historical remains. Even more, the burial pits have highly decorative coffin covers bearing floral designs and anthropological figures like horned and peepal leafed crown.

Skeletal remains of full human body have also been found in some of the graves.

However, others have a few human bones along with pots (secondary burials); in yet others, only pots were found indicating symbolic burials. It is amply clear by such a pattern of burials that the person might have died somewhere else and was symbolically buried there, said the experts.

Notably, ASI’s excavation at Sadiqpur in Sanauli in 2005 had spotted around 125 graves with remains of men, women and children as young as 2-3 years, were found. These graves also dated back to 2200-1800 BC. The mass graves then found indicated that people were buried together may be after some natural calamity had struck the region, said Srivastava.

Meanwhile, Manjul claimed that the newest excavations, some 125 metres away from earlier sites, were set to unravel a new historical trail which would consolidate the research and investigation in that
region further.

Note the war chariots and see the wheels there. They appears to be solid decorated with lotus/spiral pattern similar to that of recently excavated chariot (~4000YBP) from Sanauli in Baghpat.

Notice what appears to be a “chakravyūha” that Abhimanyu crossed in Mahābhārata.

▪ Religion has a set of dogmatic rules.
▪ Spirituality invites us to reason about everything, to question everything.

▪ Religion threatens and frightens.
▪ Spirituality gives inner peace.

▪ Religion speaks of sin and guilt.
▪ Spirituality says, “learn from an error”.

▪ Religion represses everything which is false.
▪ Spirituality transcends everything, it brings you closer to your truth!

▪ Religion speaks of a God; It is not God.
▪ Spirituality is everything and therefore, it is in God.

▪ Religion invents.
▪Spirituality finds.

▪ Religion does not tolerate any question.
▪Spirituality questions everything.

▪ Religion is human. It is an organization with rules made by men.
▪ Spirituality is Divine, without human rules.

▪ Religion is the cause of divisions.
▪Spirituality unites.

Assam on the Boil – Amending the ‘Citizenship Act’

$

By: Parmanand Pandey, Advocate Supreme Court (General Secretary IPC)

Assam is again on the boil on the issue of amendment to the Citizenship Act 1955. While the Bill finds support in the Bengali dominated Barak Valley, i.e. the southern tip of Assam, it is being vehemently opposed in the Brahmaputra valley. Even the major allies of ruling BJP like; Assam Gana Parishad are also strongly against the Bill for amending the Citizenship Act.

A few days back, my good friend Tutumoni Phukan, who is the General Secretary of the Assam Union of Working Journalists and himself a very talented journalist, told me that the journalists of Assam are also very sharply divided on this issue. He tells me that Bill is being opposed mainly because it is hued with religious discrimination. and Assam cannot be allowed to be the dumping ground for the illegal migrants. Nobody can disagree with his strong sentiments.

The purpose of the Bill is to allow Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, and Christians who came from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan to apply for Indian citizenship but the present Citizenship Act does not discriminate on the basis of religion. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. But then there arises the difference of opinion. Those who are in favour of it say that the Bill will help end alienation of Bengali Hindus living in Assam but those opposing it say that Assam cannot afford to have the burden of illegal settlers be they Muslims or others.

It may be mentioned here that Assam has already undergone much turbulence and turmoil from 1979 to 1985 on this issue, it came to end when an accord was reached and signed between the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and the agitating AASU leaders. The cutoff date was fixed on 24.03.1971. And therefore, those who came after March 24, 1971, were to be treated as intruders.  However, Assam continued to remain the dumping ground for the Bangladeshis. The accord provided that those who came and settled down in the state after the cutoff date would be detected and deported but till now only a few hundred of intruders have been sent back.

 This clearly shows the deliberate apathy and tardiness of the Indian authorities. I have found that because of the negligence and corruption among Indian authorities, particularly among the BSF personnel, the large number of Bangladeshis crossed over to India to make their permanent place of stay. And because of the vote bank politics, they got Ration Cards, Identity Cards, and Voter ID Cards. These Bangladeshis have spread to all major cities of the country but Assam has certainly borne a heavy burden. So much so, that large number of Rohingya Muslims have also got settled themselves in different parts of the country because of the complicity of the corrupt political leaders and the authorities. The saddest part of the saga is that quite a big number of counterfeit secularists have come out openly in favour of these Rohingyas and they say that even if India is not a signatory to the Geneva Convention on refugees, she must allow these illegal Rohingyas to live in the country.

 Anyway, that is a different matter altogether. Here I am in the point of the Amendment Bill. There is no doubt that Hindus and Chakma Buddhists have crossed over to India because of the atrocities and their persecution in Bangladesh. It is an unconcealed fact that minority Hindus and Buddhists have been killed, looted, maimed and their women raped in Bangladesh and Pakistan. But this was never the case with Bangladeshi Muslims because there has never been any discrimination against them in Bangladesh and Pakistan, which came into existence only the ground of the Islamic religion.  The Muslims, therefore, have no right to ask for the settlement in India.

 Hence, I think that an element of pragmatism is found in the Bill which rightly seeks to drive out the Muslims from Assam and this should be explicated to other parts of the country. This is not discrimination but humanitarian consideration based on the survival of the one and the mal-intent of the other. After all, where would Hindus go if they are subjected to all sorts of horrendous atrocities in Bangladesh?

 

To Help Further Scientific Research, Ante-date Indian History!

$

By: Shreepal Singh

Can the history of any country be ante-dated without research? Is the ‘research’ a first requirement for correcting any claims that one may make about the history of a country? It seems obvious that no claim of a historical value can ever be accepted as the correct one without the scientific research supporting such claim. The normal sequence seems to be: First do research and make discovery; and, then make a claim of the discovered historical facts.

But can one proceed in the reverse direction: First look into the claims; and, then conduct research into their truthfulness? Yes, it can be done in certain circumstances and there is nothing wrong in this approach. In the Indian context, what are those circumstances that justify the making of a scientific inquiry into claims of Indian history? Let us refer to some of these circumstances.

First: We find that in the excavation of the buried towns or cities of Mohenjo Daro, Harappa, Rakhigarhi, Dholavira etc. the houses were built by their inhabitants with ‘fired bricks’. How did the people know the firing of the bricks? How could they use ‘bricks’ and not some ready-made material like stones in their houses? We find all the bricks were of a `fixed’ size. It requires the knowledge of mathematics to calculate the sizes of houses and bricks to make those houses; it requires the sufficiently developed technology at their disposal to make, measure and fire those bricks. The houses and lanes / roads in these habitations were laid in geometrical patterns. It again required the mathematical knowledge at their disposal to measure and lay down those roads etc. This fact – the evidence that they made and fired bricks, laid their ways in a calculated manner – proves that these people were the inheritors of an earlier civilization. We must leave a scope for such claims to make our further inquiry.

Two: In almost all the ancient oral traditions around the world, we find mention of a ‘Great Flood’. It is mentioned in ancient Hindu sacred books – ‘Adi Manu’ (or the progenitor of mankind), who had saved himself along with other living beings in that flood. It is mentioned in the Christian sacred books – ‘Nohva’s Arch’ etc. If there is a collective oral memory of humanity at large of such a great flood, is it not reasonable to look into this claim – and the claim that there was a great civilization before that catastrophic flood? The history of life on Earth – and the history of intelligent animals that we call Homo sapiens or even Nianthethal people or lost races of pygmies – is really very long. You cannot confine this history within a short span of the last 10, 000 or so years!

Three: Is it ever possible that once there was some highly developed technology, which was mainstream but all the people who had used that technology died in some catastrophic event or calamity – leaving only a dim memory of that technology in the minds of those few who survived that calamity? It is reasonable to assume it is possible. Just imagine if there is an all out atomic war on our Earth, substantially all life would be wiped out but still a few people – here and there, say under sea, in caves, in bunkers etc. – may survive this event. Would they not carry with them and their children the memory of computers, planes, atom bombs, missiles etc.? Certainly, they would.

Four: We find in ancient Hindu traditioeel’, ns and even in books the mention of ‘Pushpak Viman’ – flying machine; ‘Sudarshan Chakra’ – a missile that hit the target and came back to the one who launched it; ‘Ram Setu’ – a bridge over the sea between India and Sri Lanka claimed to have been built by ‘Nal and Neel’, the two engineers of Rama; Sanjay describing to Dhratrashtra from afar the events of war of Mahabharata – something akin to Television of today. It could be all false claims; but it could be all be true ones also! There is need to look into such claims and not to shame people who hint at the possibility of such claims being true. The first requirement of science – and scientific temperament – is to always remain open in mind.

Somebody has proposed a sheet anchors of Indian chronological history to stand on and proceed further in a scientific inquiry into this time span. Here is this sheet anchor:

Pazhassi Raja Kerala Varma – A Forgotten Hero of Bharat

$

Borrowed with thanks from “Know Your Bharat”

Pazhassi Raja Kerala Varma (3 January 1753-30 November 1805) was one of the earliest freedom fighters in Bhārat. His struggles with the British East India Company are known as the Cotiote War. He is popularly known as ‘Kerala Simham’ (Lion of Kerala) on account of his martial exploits.

He was the only person to defeat Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington in a war. Wellesley defeated Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo (this battle is so famous that “meeting one’s waterloo” has become an idiom for a very powerful person meeting with failure). Wellesley was also the general who defeated and killed Tipu in the fourth Mysore War.

Wellesley was so inspired by Pazhassi Raja’s war tactics that he adopted methods of guerrilla warfare used by Pazhassi Raja to defeat Napoleon’s armies in Spain.

Walter Ivor, a member of Court of Directors (of East India Company), who had taken part in negotiations with Pazhassi Raja in 1797 notes that British losses that year in Cotiote War exceeded British losses in Third Anglo-Mysore War.

According to British chroniclers, the war waged by Pazhassi Raja was the longest anti-British resistance struggle in Bhārat, and forest warfare waged by the Raja had no parallel in history in late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Bhārat. British military command always wondered at the logistics of Raja’s army. How he organized supplies for his several thousand strong armies remained a puzzle for them.

To fight overwhelmingly superior enemies, Raja imparted military training to his peasantry wholesale and recruited them into his military force. This military policy of wholesale militarization was novel in history of pre-modern Kerala.

British losses were severe in terms of men and ran into several thousands. Death toll was particularly high with officers of commissioned ranks. So high were the losses suffered by Bombay army regiments that operated in North Malabar that they had to be withdrawn in 1803 fearing that further losses would cripple Bombay Army as a respectable body of troops.

Raja shared all the troubles of his ordinary soldiers during war and took part in all major military action exposing himself to personal danger. On account of these attributes, he commanded great respect of his troops.

Why the World Should Unite to Defend Hinduism and Hindus!

Extracts from book written by Savitri Devi in 1939:

   Discussions about “religion” often fall into confusion because “religion” is a matter that can be considered from entirely different points of view. Two people speaking about “religion” may be, in fact, though unknowingly, speaking about two things quite apart from each other.

So, what is “religion”? This is the first question to be answered.


One often considers, in “religion,” merely certain moral teachings. Nearly every main religious book contains some sort of teaching concerning the moral conduct of man, such as: “Thou shalt not steal,” “Thou shalt not kill a man,” or: “Thou shalt not kill any living creature,” “Thou shalt not get drunk,” etc.

There are, no doubt, differences in the moral scale of values in different religions. For instance, to kill an animal is a sin, from the Jain point of view; from the Christian point of view, it is not. But any moral teaching presupposes some sort of society. Therefore, there is a minimum of prohibitions which we find in the moral code of every possible religion.

Always and everywhere, such actions are “sinful” that are definitely anti-social, in the place and at the time where they are forbidden. And such actions which cannot but be anti-social (such as, for instance, murder of man for personal motives) cannot be commended, or even tolerated, according to any possible code of morals. They constitute the stable minimum of prohibitions, which is common to all religions considered from the point of view of “morality.”


Religions seem to differ more profoundly, when considered as metaphysical systems. Here, the very fundamentals are different, and there is
not even a minimum of admitted notions, which can be taken as the common philosophical basis of all possible religions.

The conception of Godhead, as well as that of creation, of soul, etc., is different, from one religious system to another. A religion can also well exist without the idea of God appearing at all, in the metaphysical outlook of its followers. Such is the case of Buddhism, of Jainism, and perhaps of other systems, less well-known.

The idea of salvation is also not an essential one; Shintoism has developed apart from it; and so had the national religions of Greece and Rome, long ago. Moreover, to a Christian and to a Hindu, for instance, who both put stress upon that idea, “salvation” means such an entirely different thing, that it is impossible, philosophically speaking, to call it a “common” notion of Hinduism and Christianity.

And if, neglecting to speak of different religions from a moral or intellectual point of view, one considers them merely in a spiritual light, as various paths to self-realization, then, naturally, unity will appear.

But it will not be unity among different religions; it will be the identity of the ultimate result of all religious disciplines, as regards man. The place to which the various paths lead is the same, and, to the seekers of wisdom, that may be the only thing worth considering.

But the paths remain different. In this world, religions do not meet, even as paths leading to a truer world.


But, if no unity among religions can be found on the basis either of common metaphysical notions, either of common spiritual discipline, at least, a broad two-fold classification can be made, on a psychological ground.

There are religions, such as Christianity and Islam, based upon teachings which are considered by their followers as the only absolute truth.

These teachings are, therefore, supposed to be essentially good for all mankind, and it is the duty of every believer to preach them, by word and by deed, so that every man may accept them and be saved.

Such religions style themselves as world-religions. The ideal of their followers is the unification of all mankind, on the basis both of certain moral and spiritual teachings, and of certain metaphysical beliefs, looked upon as absolute truth, expressed once for all at a certain time, in a certain place, by a certain person, and recorded in a certain sacred book to which, naturally, no alteration and no addition can be made. Uses and customs can easily differ, from place to place, according to geographical, political, and other conditions, provided their existence is not a denial of any of the fundamental beliefs upon which the whole religious structure lies. Culture itself can differ, from nation to nation, as long as these common beliefs remain.

What greater difference can there be, for instance, than that between the culture of a Presbyterian Scotchman and of a Catholic Spaniard, or of a Syrian Christian, or of an Abyssinian?

Yet, there is, between them, a minimum of common beliefs, sufficient to justify their common claim to be called “Christians.” The same thing could be said about a Mohammadan from Arabia or Iraq, compared to a Mohammadan from Java.

We call “creedal religions” all religions of the type of Christianity or Islam, in which the link among the faithful is necessarily common beliefs, but not necessarily common civilization or culture.


But there are religions which do not rest upon any moral or metaphysical “truth,” considered as absolute. Their followers may or may not accept a certain number of common beliefs, and, if they do, still they do not condemn the many possible beliefs, in religions different from theirs, as “false,” nor do they look down upon them as “precious teachings entangled with superstition.”

In fact, the followers of each one of such religions generally do differ from one another on the ground of metaphysics, of morals, or of religious discipline.

Take the instance of the cultured ancient Greeks, followers of the same national religion but, at the same time, followers of different (and antagonistic) philosophies. There was, in that national religion of theirs, no common metaphysical system, comparable with that which we find in hellenised Christianity. Take the instance of the cultured modern Hindus, of different sects. There is very little common in their religious outlook, or in the particular discipline they may follow. One worships a personal God; one worships God as impersonal; a third one does not believe in God at all; one practices hatha yoga, another practices nothing but bhakti. Still, they are all Hindus, just as the ancient Greeks, inspite of their opposite metaphysical views, or of their personal devotion to entirely different Gods, were the followers of the same “religion.”

It is easy to see that the word “religion,” in this case, bears a totally different meaning from that which it had, while applied to “creedal religions” such as Christianity or Islam.

Here, there is no truth, whether concerning God, soul, salvation, creation, or anything else, which should be considered as absolute by all men. Every truth is relative, being the outcome of man’s experience, which is necessarily limited. And therefore, metaphysics (the common ground of religious thought, in “creedal” religions) are a matter of individual outlook. Spiritual realization is also individual. The knowledge that it gives cannot be transmitted to a crowd. Even the path to realization cannot be shown but to those who have undergone, through previous experience, a sufficient evolution.

In other words, in religions which are not creedal, there can be no conflict between “religion” and “philosophy,” no more than between “religion” and “science,” for a broad spirit of free research — that what is called, in modern language, scientific spirit — is applied there, without restriction, to every sphere of life, including spiritual realization.

And there can be no common beliefs commended to men at different stages of evolution. There can be no one-sided outlook on God, soul, etc., “good for all mankind,” to be preached from country to country.

Hinduism is the most perfect type of such “religions” which we shall call, presently, for sake of convenience, “non-creedal,” until further analysis allows us to characterize them more positively.

We have said that, when one speaks of “religion,” one often speaks, in reality, of morals or metaphysics. One still more often speaks of a certain culture and civilization, characterizing a certain society.


Even the idea of a “creedal” religion is not entirely free from this historical notion of civilization and society. The creed is one thing, and society is another, that is true.

But a creed without any society organised upon it, stands nowhere as a religion, while a society, without any creedal unity, but of which the members share a common civilization and a common culture, has a sound existence of its own, as a society.

The great difference between creedal and non-creedal religions lies in the fact that, while the principle of unity and the sense of brotherhood are to be found, among the followers of a creedal religion, in commonness of belief, (and not necessarily of culture and civilization) that principle of unity and that sense of brotherhood are to be found, among the followers of a non-creedal religion, in commonness of culture and of civilization, (and not necessarily of belief).

Two Indians, of whom one believes in God and one does not, are two Hindus, provided they both share that culture and civilization which is the only thing all Hindus are supposed to have in common, which is, really, “Hinduism.”

While an American or a Frenchman who has accepted one of the doctrines of manifold “Hindu philosophy,” Vedantism or any other, or any special type of Hindu devotion is no Hindu as long as he has not adopted such a style, not only of thinking, but also of living, by which he enables himself to become one of the units of Hindu society; moreover, socially speaking, he is no Hindu as long as a sufficient portion, at least, of Hindu society, has not accepted him as one of its members.

It is in one’s own hand to become a Christian. It is not in one’s own hand alone to become a full-fledged Hindu, (or a follower of any other non-creedal religion).

Civilisation and culture are not free from geographical, as well as historical conditions.

A follower of a non-creedal religion has necessarily, along with the greatest spirit of relativity, (and therefore of toleration) in every matter where his religious “philosophy” is concerned, a geographical sense of religion, in every matter where “religion,” to him, means society.

One can dream of unifying mankind through certain beliefs, (though this also, is an illusion) but one cannot even imagine the same civilisation, the same style of life, the same type of society all over the world. Therefore, in a non-creedal religion, no missionary activities can be conceived beyond certain geographical boundaries.


One may wonder, after this, if there is anything or not which is neither morality, nor metaphysics, nor society, but “real” religion. And if there be such a thing, what is it? Can it not be defined anyhow, except negatively?

The only thing which can, it seems, apart from all the rest, be called “real” religion, is spiritual experience.

It is clear that, however different religions may be, religion is one, if considered in that light alone.

And it is in considering spiritual experience, which ends in the realisation of truth, that teachers like Sri Ramakrishna were able to say that, “just as all rivers run to the sea,” so do all religions have but one goal, one end: self-realization.

Spiritual experience certainly gives knowledge concerning certain metaphysical entities and certain metaphysical problems. But it is to be
carefully distinguished from metaphysics, for it is not something which can be discussed, and reasoned upon through the power of intellect alone, as generally metaphysics are.

It has to be gone through. (In fact, the existence of metaphysics apart from spiritual experience, is a sign of the weakness of man, who feels as if he must have ideas about what he does not know and cannot understand. And all really great metaphysical systems, which have marked their influence upon the evolution of human thought, rest upon the background of some spiritual experience.)

Creedal religions, such as Christianity, are right when they say that their dogmas cannot be understood through intellect. From the point of view of real religion, (spiritual experience) these religions are only incomplete when they ask one to believe in their dogmas, without giving him the means to realise the truth contained in them, and also, when they assert that there is no salvation for whoever does not accept those dogmas.


But spiritual experience is personal. It cannot be transmitted.

Even the desire of acquiring it cannot be created in everybody. And, merely intellectual acceptance of the truth contained in the words of a certain realised man, or blind faith in the writings of an “inspired” book, cannot stand for spiritual experience — for self-realisation.

That is why one can find, among the followers of creedal religions, a certain morality, a great amount of theology, but such a little real religion, (personal realisation of truth) compared to what could be expected.

What can be done is not to teach spirituality, but, through the habits of life, through customs and ceremonies, through art and culture, and daily dealings, to create an “atmosphere” in which spiritual experience appears to be the ultimate experience of man.

No common creed is necessary for that.

Only certain permanent influences, in certain special social surroundings, are.

And that is what the Hindus have understood, from time immemorial up to the present day. The great religious value of Hinduism — manifold on the ground of morals, as well as of beliefs, but unified by culture, by artistic expression, by the “style of life” it evolves — lies in that fact.

But this is not the only reason, this is not even the main reason for which we want to preserve and strengthen Hindu civilisation, and organise Hindu society throughout India (and the world at large: added by the editor).

Apart from the high philosophies contained in the Hindu Scriptures and from the high spiritual ideal realized by the Hindu seers, we want to defend Hindu civilization and society, against the increasing forces of rival proselytizing societies strongly united by the consciousness of a common creed.

Even if India itself were to disappear just now, the philosophical and spiritual inheritance of the Hindus would remain.

Mankind would preserve it, because it is worth preserving. It is immortal, and needs no one to defend it.

What we want to defend, we repeat, is Hindu society, the Hindu people, the bearers of Hindu civilization, whose number is decreasing every day.

They are the body of Hinduism, of which the high philosophies and spiritual realisations are the everlasting soul.

Our point is that Hindu society must not perish; nor must it stagnate in its present state of weakness. We want it to live because we know it can be mighty and beautiful, and also, because it is Indian, nay, because it is India herself.

We have no other reason to defend it.

Free Our Temples from State Control – A Campaign

I am an engineering graduate from IIT Roorkee. For the last few years, I have been working fulltime in the area of education, policy, governance and rural empowerment, with grassroots organizations like Ekal and Vision India Foundation.

The contradictions of Bharat:

In the course of my fieldwork in rural as well as urban India, I came to realize that our society is in shambles. We have no sense of ownership of our resources, much less our heritage, and we are speedily drifting away from our civilizational ethos. As a community, we are suffering from an acute identity crisis and guess what, not all of it can be blamed on biased school textbooks. Further, the poverty across the country is truly astounding and there are numerous communities that have been forced to live a life of extreme deprivation just because they happened to miss the bus of ‘progress’.

At the same time, I noticed an inspiring spark in the common men and women of this ancient land that made it hard for me to become cynical and lose hope. I realized that the indomitable spirit of these ordinary people, struggling hard to make ends meet, came from an unshakable faith in the divine. And I found that it was not something that the contemporary generations specialized in, rather it was a defining trait inherited from distant ancestors going back several millennia. No wonder India is the longest surviving civilization, given that grit and cheerfulness are a part of our spiritual inheritance.

Our temples are crying for attention:

This intriguing contradiction between material poverty and spiritual abundance led me to investigate the wellsprings of India’s cultural and spiritual life, our Temples. And I did not like what I saw there!

I saw broken murtis and dilapidated paintings. I saw looted heritage and predatory land-grab. I saw impoverished priests and languishing sculptors. I saw shameless corruption and shocking indifference. I saw paid-darshan queues and rampant commercialization. I saw temple priests getting paid Rs. 19 per month (no typo error here!) as salary for performing puja. I saw temples unable to render the basic services expected of them like feeding the poor, imparting education to the needy and protection of cows. I saw the funds donated to temples getting siphoned for other purposes by the authorities. I saw an ancient knowledge tradition being trampled by arrogant bureaucrats. I saw Hindu temples under the control of a secular government.

Temples are a reflection of society:

As I connected the dots, I realized that the sad condition of our temples was reflective of the state of our society not just in a poetic sense but was, in fact, one of the major contributing factors to the mess we collectively find ourselves in. In other words, the health of our temples is organically connected to the welfare – material, cultural and spiritual – of our nation. Our temples have been the nerve centers of India’s socio-economic life for centuries and without their revival, all ambitions of making India a strong and sovereign nation are nothing but a pipe-dream.

The terrible condition of our temples, though some of them may look nice and shiny on the outside, is directly attributable to the unbridled interference of the Indian state in their affairs. To be sure, the honour of being run by the government has only been granted to the temples. Not mosques. Not churches. Not gurudwaras. But I digress.

Harder than realizing the extent to which our temples have been abused by the state was to come to terms with the reality that no one outside the echo-chambers of social media cared. I spoke to friends, relatives, neighbours and even complete strangers, only to be met with a carefree shrug and a blank expression. These were not people who didn’t care. They were genuinely warmhearted individuals who just didn’t fathom the gravity of the problem. So, I decided that I would make honest and sincere efforts to raise awareness about the issue. Only when people woke up to its gross overreach would the state admit its folly and withdraw from the sacred precincts of our marvelous temples.

UpWord – A not-for-profit media platform for raising awareness on civilizational issues:

I pondered over this for long and came to the conclusion that the comprehension deficit all around us was not restricted to just temples but extended to history, philosophy, religion, politics, culture and so on. This is a direct consequence of us being products of a broken education system and there is a burning need to fill in the gaping holes in our collective self-image by educating people on various matters of philosophical, spiritual, cultural and political import. To that end, we figured that the best, most-effective and cost-efficient method is to harness the power of technology. We studied many different models of education and arrived at short animated videos as the final choice of our medium of raising awareness.

To sum up, a few friends and I are in the process of creating a non-profit organization (we have named it “UpWord”) that dedicates itself to this urgent cause of raising awareness on civilizational issues of all kinds and have been lucky to get the attention of many patriotic investors. However, we want to first make a sample video, a sort of prototype, so that we can show the investors the quality and impact of what we are setting out to do. Needless to say, we want to start from the start and our first video is on the topic of the need to free our temples from state control. We have already done the scripting and shooting and since we are still in the process of registering UpWord as a not-for-profit company and will only develop in-house talent after the initial formalities, we have engaged professional animators for helping produce this very first video.

Why 400,000?

Although the standard length of our videos is going to be less than five minutes, the first one is slightly longer due to the nature of the topic (8.5 minutes). To someone not familiar with 2D animation and video production, Rs. 4,00,000 for a single video of 8.5 minutes may look expensive but let me assure you that we are managing to produce it under a remarkably low budget by handling the research, conceptualization, script, videography, voice-over and editing ourselves. We are engaging top-notch professionals on a paid basis only for the animation part, which also happens to be the most critical.

Appeal:

We seek your support in helping us bring about a tangible positive change in the awareness of the average Indian on matters that make-or-break Bharat.

About Ourselves – An Address: Meant ‘Only’ for those who are ‘Open and Receptive’ !

By: Shreepal Singh

(1) of (5): Our Physical Body is Immortal:

The physical body of human being is immortal. Is this statement scientifically correct? What is the scientific proof that physical body of human being is immortal?

    We all are familiar with the scientific law of conservation of energy. It says that nothing can be created and anything that is already there cannot be destroyed. However, the process of transformation of things into different forms is constantly going on in Nature.

  Also, it is established scientific fact that the physical body of human beings, like anything else in Nature, is disintegrated into its constituent elements. These elements thereupon are further absorbed into newer things, like trees, microbes, atmospheric formations etc., and start a new lease of existence in different forms. It is immortality. Nothing of the physical body is destroyed   after death of human being. Further, the physical body under the operation of universal scheme of things tries to perpetuate by genetic duplication. The original life that once originated on Earth is still continuing in the forms of various life-forms. The original hominid that once lived somewhere in Africa, as Anthropology tells us on the basis of available evidence, is still being duplicated in the form of various races of human beings.

  In this way the gross physical body of human being is recycled by absorption, assimilation and transformation. It is immortal.

(2) of (5): Desires are Immortal:

The gross physical body is connected to the desire body by a subtle bridge, and it is the subject that a new fledgling branch of knowledge, called parapsychology, deals with. Instincts, impulses, desires and all sorts of cravings are the motive-force of creation. These are full of life-energy. Without them there is no reason for life to manifest in varied forms. Though the universe as a whole is an ordered apparatus, without these forces there was no scope for this ordered apparatus to come into being. All beauty, love, passion and urge to go ahead in life emanate from desires, and also all ugliness, hate and dark impulses have their origin in desires.

  The raison d’être of the creation ranging from this universe to life in its highest form is desire. If there is no desire there is no reason for life to exist. In human beings, if all traces of desire are eradicated by persistent efforts, as various spiritual disciplines for gaining self-control and mastery over one-self prescribe, then man would not only die like a dry leaf comes off a branch of tree but he would not be born again.

  But we find there is this universal creation and, therefore, there is a wish, a desire that made this creation possible. We associate desire with human being but this force of creation, the force of an urge, is not dependent on any human agency. Though this universal force of creation is received and identified in human beings as desire. This whole universe in its present ordered state is a creation (it is not the creation out of nothing but merely a transformation from one state to another in a cyclic manifestation) and, therefore, it is driven by desires.

  The whole creation is a grand desire. Within this whole there are infinite numbers of self-sustaining and independent constituent parts of desires that are beautifully integrated into this whole. And, not only the grand desire but also these constituent desires that are integrated with this grand urge exist as a hard reality. These have their own world and own rules. These cravings are formed and transformed, and received and transmitted by living creatures, though the creatures themselves merely feel them a part of their own consciousness. Is it true to state that desires exist in universe independent of human beings who feel them? Also, as we have said earlier, is it true to state that thoughts exist in universe independent of human beings who are conscious of them?

  Let us give an analogy to understand the truth of the matter in this respect. We human beings perceive colors, beautiful and of varied hues. Do these colors exist in universe independent of human beings? Yes, they exist. But they do not exist in the form of ‘colors’ as we perceive them. The colors are the corresponding sensations in the brain of human beings of particular frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. Colors exist in Nature, though not as colors but a corresponding reality. Our universe is an apparatus that is full of order and logic, if there is a human being to search and sense these harmonious structures. Even if there is no human being there to sense and ‘certify’ this orderliness of universe, it still exists there as a hard reality. Our universe is a beautiful creation that is still continuing to grow. Our desires are its reflection in our consciousness and even if we are not there to feel them, they exist there.

  The desire-body of human being is an independent formation and remains interwoven with the physical body during the life-time of human being. After his death, this body is released into the desire-world – a fully fledged world of things and beings made up of desires. After this release, the desire-body remains emotionally attached to the dear ones of the dead person and it does not wish to leave the company of these relatives. However, it is not always possible for this desire-body to get connected with the people living in the physical world. Under certain conditions, like receptivity and open willingness of the living dear ones, this body some times gets connected with them. Then, these persons are said to talk with the dead soul (but it is not soul, depending on the definition of soul). This body remains intact in its desire- world for a certain length of time, like we live for certain period in this physical world. Also, some time, this intact body is assimilated completely by a new born baby and then the child ‘remembers’ events of his past birth.

  It is rebirth of desire-body, that remained intact under suitable conditions, like strong desires, demands, revenge, love and innumerable other circumstances. The desire-bodies in the desire-world spend their appointed lives. Sometimes, they happen to come into contact with the physical world of human beings, under suitable conditions and they are perceived as ‘strange beings’ by human beings. These beings have real existence. Within ourselves, we all have our own such subtle beings. After death, our desire bodies are released into the world of these beings. On completion of its appointed period, the desire-body also gets disintegrated into its constituent elements. These disintegrated elements of desires are again absorbed by growing children in our physical world. Thus the cycle of transformation of desires goes on in Nature. In fact, we ‘receive’ desires, though we feel as if we ourselves are performing this act of desire. We human beings are the meeting place of various forces, desires, thoughts etc. We not only receive desires from other sources, but also we generate and transmit them to others. It is a subject of complexity much more than the problem of Grand Unification of Fundamental forces of physical Nature. So far as it is relevant for human beings to understand and utilize their conclusions in day-to-day life, this subject has been beautifully dealt with by Lord Buddha, Lord Jesus Christ and many others in their prescriptions. Under certain conditions and in certain places, we sometimes get choked with certain kind of desire, say desire of hate, or love, as we are simply receiving them as receivers. Desires are immortal.

(3) of (5): Thoughts are immortal:

 What is a ‘thought’? Does ‘thought’ exist? How do we know of the ‘apparent existence’ of, say, mind – that is, reason? What is reason? We human beings (like our inferior cousins, plants, microbes and animals) observe ‘objective’ world around us. We act, being propelled by the movers of life, like the so-called instincts and ‘go ahead’ by preserving, dealing to dominating, adapting and procreative. This is evolving ourselves in relation to the objective world around us. This is life. But this is not enough to ‘reason’. To be able to ‘reason’ we have to rise a bit higher in the ladder of life. To ‘reason’, we take a portion of the ‘objective’ world around us and isolate this portion from the ‘unified whole’ of this world. This is the separation of a part from the whole by using the faculty of our ‘reason’.

  We study the properties of this isolated part and then refit it into the whole again. It is like breaking the whole into pieces creating jigsaw puzzle and solving the same by putting them back in different relations. This is unification. The reasoning follows the process of movement from unity to separation to unity again. Or, it may be put this way; we take a set of material objects (with their associated properties and isolate this set from the remainder of the whole universe. It is an incongruous heap or, say, a jumbled world. The incongruity in their interrelation is a ‘problem’ or, say, disorder. We re-position them again and again in their interrelation till congruity is established. Then, the incongruous heap turns into a congruous order of their interrelations. We call it a ‘thought’.

  The output of the process of reason is   a thought. And, this thought, when found to be in congruity with another neighboring ‘assembled’ thought, is elevated to the dignity of a principle or even a law. This congruity – this thought – is already existing in universe in the form of an ‘ordered state’ of Nature; we simply become conscious of this ordered state in our own way – by reasoning. The net output of this reasoning process is called by us a thought, which is nothing but a reflection in our mind of a reality that is existing outside us.

This universe is a grand thought. All thoughts that we become aware of in our own way are already existing in the form of the congruity of the material reality in Nature. Whether we receive – which we prefer to call perceive – or not receive these ‘thoughts’, the building blocks of this Grand Thought, these thoughts are already existing out there in this universe. Thoughts are immortal.

  One may raise a question – a doubt – here: If there is ‘real’ existence of thoughts, desires and physical consciousness of human beings we must be able to fabricate devices that generate and receive these ‘realities’. Is it possible? Why can we not detect any of them today with our modern tools that are able to detect the presence of ‘any form of energy’? If there is this presence of thoughts etc. we must somehow get an indication through our fine instrument. But we do not get any such indication. Is not all this existence of thoughts, desires and physical consciousness a humbug and nonsense? It seems so today. But we should not be in hurry in pronouncing our judgment on the basis of our inability. Yes, we are unable but it should be all the more reasons on our part to be more humble in our judgments and verdicts on things that we do not know. We know today all our ‘thoughts’ or ‘sensations’ of desires are the phenomena occurring in our mind only. We know there are transmissions of impulses of energy through various neurological circuits in our brain. We know these things are phenomena that are interpreted by our ‘mind’ as our ‘sensation of thoughts, desires’ etc.

  But human brain itself is a trans-receiver. It generates and receives thoughts and desires, though we are not able to detect them outside our ‘mind’. Why is it so?

  Brain is made up of matter and thoughts, desires etc. are not made up of matter. However, this matter is able to detect things that are not material (including electro-magnetic energy, which is material). Brain is a very sensitive material tool, which is simply devised by Nature’s evolution. It is conscious of itself. It is possible to fabricate a device that is able to generate and receive thoughts, desires etc. But it has to be likewise sensitive enough; it has to be conscious of itself. It is creating life in laboratory. It is possible but it is not enough to generate or receive thoughts etc. This artificially created life must be ‘sensitive enough’ and it means simply that this life must be organized in the required fashion like brain. Brain has been organized in the manner it is, by life’s evolution operating under the (evolutionary) principles like the ‘struggle for survival’, ‘survival of the fittest’ and ‘inheritance of the acquired traits’ etc. It can be done in laboratory but it is achieving evolutionary traits artificially. Now we have the necessary tool – genes – to accomplish this task in laboratory. It is duplicating – and not only duplicating but refining in a way that is not available in Nature – evolution artificially. It is all possible.

  It all is creating ‘mind’ artificially. But today we are quite far from even properly understanding the biological structure and functions of human brain. An individual neuron in brain is not self-aware but when we put ten billions of them together in a particular manner there, the brain suddenly becomes alive and develops an ego-awareness, which is the signature tune of mind. How biological brain is connected to non-biological mind? Or, mind is simply an operation that is going on in the background of biological brain? Even if this is the case, this non biological operation may be akin to the application software running in the brain’s computer-like hardware. But then this application software also has some linking bridge with the biological brain. There is a long way to go yet. The coming age of science would belong to the understanding of human brain and mind. Not only we have to understand the physical brain, we have to understand the co-relation of physical brain with mind; mind that is conscious, subconscious and unconscious, and beyond that, which we do not know. The human brain is like an electric motor – you supply the power and it moves on; or like a dynamo – you move it and it supplies the power. In neither case it is ‘power’; it simply processes the ‘power’, which exists independently in some form. All this can be done artificially but by undertaking this task in laboratory human being’s understanding of things would completely be changed. By this way he would establish his relationship with Nature in a totally new way; he would transform himself.

The universe is an ordered whole, and therefore, the universe is a grand thought. Not only the universe as a whole is an ordered apparatus, every constituent part of it is an ordered formation, which human beings perceive in their mind as ‘reasoned thoughts’. Whether human beings are there or not to perceive these ‘ordered formations’ as thoughts, has no bearing on their existence. The formations that we know as thoughts have their own world and are governed by their own rules. Every thought that may ever be conceived by human beings and also the thoughts that can never be conceived by them already exist in universe.

(4) of (5): Our ‘True Self’ is immortal:

  Behind one’s mind, desires and physical body, there is, so to say, a deep cavity, a secret chamber, within one’s heart. This inmost core of heart is not an empty space. There is a highly conscious presence there within this secret chamber. It is secret because, except in a few cases out of million people, one is not aware of its presence. But this presence always remains there in every individual and, occasionally and at the opportune moments in life, this conscious presence comes to the fore of one’s personality and makes its presence felt by making decisive intervention in individual’s affairs. Then, it casts its influence on mind and desires, and, despite strong opposition presented by logic and selfish ends to such interference, takes a crucial decision overruling these objections, which decision unfailingly proves correct and best under the circumstances.

  This inmost conscious presence is one’s center of existence; it always remains present and aware of all that passes in secrecy and is his real light. This center is the sole source of morality. It knows what is wrong despite hundred of thousands justifications by mind’s logic. It knows very well what really lies behind all pretensions of outer ego supported by instruments of thoughts and desires. This secret presence is an eternal element within heart (not in the physical sense) of human beings (and within every particle in universe). This element is conscious of self and always remains conscious during succession of countless transmigration. We feel conscious of ourselves at the planes of physical body, desires and thoughts only because there is this eternal element present and because this element is evolved enough to cast its light that percolates at the planes of body, desires and thoughts.

  All founders of religions, great saints, yogis and followers of divine path aim at becoming conscious of this eternal element and all their religious prescriptions etc. are merely elaborate means to secure this end. Once a human being becomes aware of this eternal element, he becomes enlightened and knows the reality of all that exists in the universal scheme of things. No doubts are left for him to be resolved. No conflicts that abound in our world remain there for him. He becomes aware of the secret of consciousness. He knows that consciousness itself is Divine and it exists at different planes, the lowest form being the innate matter itself – where it may be regarded present in a veiled form – and the highest  form being the Supreme Being – where it may be regarded as real essence of all  that exists. He not only knows that the highest plane of consciousness – Divine Being – possesses a state of the highest degree of truth, bliss and consciousness but also enjoys it. Such a realized person also knows that this highest plane of consciousness is a point wherefrom the material universe seems merely an illusory flux in perpetual motion. We may add here that this is merely imagery for understanding the issue involved here.

  Let us quiet our physical body, desires and thoughts and go behind them. How can we do so? What is there behind them? There are numerous names coined by different holy persons and founders of different religions for the ‘secret Presence’ existing behind our gross feelings of physical body, our thoughts and our desires. Sri Aurobindo, a Yogi of Pondicherry in India, has coined the name ‘Psychic Being’ for this secret Present; it is a technical term applied by him to a very specific entity and should not be confused with other words (like soul etc.), which are loosely used in various religions.

   We can feel the existence of this ‘Presence’; it can be known, like we know many other things, but it cannot be understood, as we understand many things of our world. However if one is to form a mental conception of this thing, which because of its extraordinary uniqueness is beyond mind and its experience’ spectrum, we may say that this ‘Presence’ is the true centre of human being’s existence. Our thoughts and our desires are not the true ‘we’; of course, these thoughts and desires also have their own true existence, but they surround our true self from all sides like clouds.

  You are to collect yourself and drown to the depths of your heart; it is like plunging deep down. There are coiled countless layers around you, you have to penetrate down through them to the depth, to the bottom, and then suddenly you will find that your Self of all selves, your centre, true ‘you’ are present there. There you will know, like a broad day light, that you have been in very many lives in existence; you heart will cry with joy on finding itself; it will pour out with gratitude to the unbound bliss and divine Presence. Then you will sing with joy and the universe will become a living part of your existence. Do grasp it firmly; do not allow it to be out of your sight even for a moment; it is ‘Psychic Being’, it is you.

  But it is not as easy as it looks. Our physical body clamors to get attention, secure indulgence and meet its needs. What are the needs of our body? They range from basic ones to desirable comforts and much more. These needs are relative in nature. What is a comfort for one may be a basic need for another. One may put his body in such circumstance so as to teach it to treat comforts ad infinitum as its basic needs. Also, one may teach his body to treat basic needs as its comforts. Where rests the limit of the two extremes, the limit to which a body may endure and the limit to which a body may demand comforts?

  The need of physical body, whatever it may be, is not absolute. The body may be made to learn to go to the extremes on both ends; there is no limit to the capacity a body (that is, physical body) may be taught to endure (of course, it cannot be achieved in an ordinary way). It is possible, and there are individuals to prove it, that physical body learns to not only survive but to remain perfectly healthy without taking food, or water, even air to breathe. In the life of Jesus Christ we read him appear in physical body even after his death in crucifixion. In the life of Milarepa, an eleventh century Buddhist monk of Tibet, we find him flying in air. In the Autobiography of a Yogi, we find a yogi in Himalayas walking from one point of mountain to another in the air and being present physically at different places at a single point of time. Even today, in modern scientific age of knowledge, we have living individuals who, on occasions, appear at two places at a single point of time. Of course, these capacities cannot be achieved in a routine ordinary manner.

(5) of (5): Let us march towards Golden Age:

Nature is executing its design of creation and man’s pursuit of science is making his brain biologically more complex and developed. And, in the process human consciousness is being transformed evolutionally. One day, if mankind were able to keep patience and preserve herself against odds of her foolishness, arrogance and selfishness, it would transport mankind to a point of dazzling light of truth. That truth, which is beyond mind and its comprehension, would make mankind accept her limitations and force her to transform into a form of consciousness that is evolutionally better than mind. The steps of mankind are moving in this direction and our civilization is living at a critical juncture of life’s history on Earth.

Scrap Article 370 to Assimilate J&K into India

     There has been a long-standing demand for the gerrymandering (delimitation of the elective constituencies) assembly seats in Jammu and Kashmir, but alas! no government has even thought of doing so. At present, the J& K assembly comprises 87 seats. Out of these, 46 fall in the Kashmir Valley, 37 in the Jammu region and 4 seats in the Ladakh area.
    The population and the area of Jammu region is far more than the Kashmir Valley. Even, Ladakh has bigger area than the Valley but both these regions are highly unrepresented in the State Assembly.  This is the reason that the Valley dominates the other two regions in the State politics.
   This is a well-known fact that the people of Jammu and Ladakh have consistently expressed their unflinching support for India. Muslim dominated Valley enjoys most of the facilities given by the Indian Government, yet its inhabitants have been ungrateful to India and never have had as any sense of shame in playing into the hands of Pakistan.
Surprisingly, it is the valley people, who orchestrate hostility for India because separatist leaders get money from Pakistan and other Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia to foment trouble in the state by attacking and killing the personnel of security forces.
Falling apart of the coalition of the PDP and the BJP, therefore, is not at all surprising. There is an inherent contradiction between the PDP and the BJP. 
Both follow diametrically opposite philosophy. The PDP has always been in favour of soft-peddling towards anti-nationalists and terrorists but the BJP always stood for taking the tough stand against such elements.
   So, the surprise is not in the divorce of both parties but in their marriage itself.
However, as a result of the highly incompatible marriage or alliance between the PDP and the BJP, the country has already suffered a huge loss of men and material resources. Otherwise, there was no reason why BJP ministers should have been asked to resign from the cabinet only for supporting the people of Jammu for demanding an independent inquiry into the Kathua rape case.
Now the time has come to deal appropriately and fittingly with anti-national forces and flush them out. Army’s hands should not be kept tied. Delimitation of the Assembly seats must be carried out to provide proportional representation of people to all three regions. Article 370, a temporary provision, should be scrapped and taken out of the Indian Constitution. People from other parts of the country must be allowed to settle down in J & K under their fundamental right (to reside and settle in any part of the territory of India) under Article 19 (1) (e) of the Indian Constitution.
   There is no denying that the alliance between the PDP and the BJP has been disastrous and so no tears should be shed on its falling apart because it will, without doubt, bode well for the J & K in particular and the entire country in general.

Swiss Time Bank: Self-help Measure for Old Age Pension

A student studying abroad in Switzerland observes the following:

While studying in Switzerland, I rented a house near the school. The landlord Kristina is a 67-year-old single old lady who worked as a teacher in a secondary school before she retired. Switzerland’s pension is very rich, enough not to make her worry about eating and drinking in her later years. However, it is puzzling that she actually found a “work” – to take care of an 87-year-old single old man. I asked if she was working for money. Her answer surprised me: “I did not work for money, but I put my time in the ‘time bank’, and when I couldn’t move at old age, I could withdraw it.”
The first time I heard about the concept of “time bank”, I was very curious and asked the landlord thoroughly. The original “Time Bank” was an old-age pension program developed by the Swiss Federal Ministry of Social Security. People saved the time of taking care of the elderly when they were young, and waited until they were old, ill or needed care. Applicants must be healthy, good at communicating and full of love. Every day they have plenty of time to look after the elderly who need help. Their service hours will be deposited into the personal accounts of the social security system. She went to work twice a week, spending two hours each time, to help the elderly shopping, finishing the room, taking the elderly out to sunbathe, chatting with the elderly. According to the agreement, after one year of her service expiry, “Time Bank” will count out her working hours and issue her a “time bank card”. When she needs someone to take care of her, she can use her “time bank card” to “time bank” to withdraw “time and time interest”. After the information verification is passed, “Time Bank” will assign volunteers to take care of her to the hospital or her home.
One day, I was in school and the landlady called and said she fell off the stool when she wiped the window. I quickly took leave and sent her to the hospital for treatment. The landlady broke her ankle and needed to stay in bed for a while. While I was preparing to apply for a holiday home to take care of her, the landlady told me that I did not have to worry about her. She had already submitted a withdrawal request to the “Time Bank”. Sure enough, less than two hours, “Time Bank” sent a nursing worker to come to care for the landlord. In the following month, the care worker took care of the landlord every day, chatted with her and made delicious meals for her. Under the meticulous care of the carer, the landlady soon recovered to health. After recovering, the landlady went back to “work”. She said that she intends to save time in the “time bank” when she is still healthy, and wait until she can’t move.
Today, in Switzerland, the use of “time banks” to support old age has become a common practice. This not only saves the country pension expenses, but also solves some other social problems. Many Swiss citizens are very supportive of this kind of old-age pensions. The survey conducted by the Swiss pension organization shows that more than half of Swiss young people also want to participate in this type of old-age care service. The Swiss government also specializes in legislation to support the “Time Bank” pension.
