Rama Sethu Controversy

Well it 's unfortunate that we are living in India where Lord Rama was born and were the majority of Indians who worship Lord Rama from time memorial have an irrational government at the centre to say the least.

The athetist type attitude of government by denying the existence of Rama in the affidavit has no business to rule and must apologize immediately.

There are 1000's of temples in India dating 1000's of years having Rama as an deity , many people all over the world chant Lord Rama's name from time memorial . Many evidences are also found that the Lord Rama and other god's idols were found in other countries such as Russia,Malaysia etc and Rama Rajya used to exists and was far reaching .Ancient Scriptures such as Valmiki Ramayana , Ramcharitmanas and other religious scripts of Lord Rama have been there for 1000 's of years; and, now the latest discovery of NASA proving beyond doubt the existence of Rama's bridge.

Aren't this enough? Aren't all these facts. The ASI believes history is only upto 200 or odd years old, what a narrow minded understanding.

I am sure that some unknown hand has deliberately played on the faiths of millions of Hindus by resorting to this indecent remarks.

Whatever happens however one may go against the truth , but still the truth prevails.

SATYAMEVA JAYATE!!

Changing Indian Market

Well, well !! today which ever newsprint or electronic media you refer to , it talks about the India's economic growth. Some of them headlines you commonly see or hear India shining, India rising, Sensex touches new high, Buisness growing and not to forget outsourcing and IT /ITES sectors growing , IT players doing well etc etc.

The Investors , analysts talk about the good times, markets reaching new levels, India becoming superpower by 2010, India poised to overtake China etc.

All of these predictions seems to be holding true, one can clearly see the difference in spending expenditure among the society by comparing the last 10 years or so. I personally can remember quite a few .

The essential items such as vegetables where used to come around for quite a cheap price say onion ,tomato and potatoes used to linger around 4 to 10 Rs , and very rarely rise above this limit. Hotels were few in number , and not much crowding used to take place. Only sundays were the days were people generally preferred eating out.No disco , pubs etc where visible .The small buisness men were doing well because of less competition ,real estate prices where not so high or very low, but land in suburbs used to come at the lower price. Not much traffic jams or pollution. Having a car or a AC was considered luxury. People or relatives used to meet frequently , generally people or more precise the middle class where contended . The earned money was spent on essentials like food and education. But i remember education was beginning to get costlier but still in limits . Computers where with quite few, mobiles where unheard of and so on.

And now, fat packages say an IT pro gets 20K per month, 20K salary was unthinkable say 15 years back. Hotels becoming overcrowded on almost all days, pubs or discos becoming visible , too much cars on road, pollution getting worse day by day. The small business men closing their shops because of intense competition and the money power with big players.Getting admission in schools is increaslingly tough leave alone the exorbitant fees.Computers becoming essential, and not to forget the ever burgeoning real estate prices , especially the suburbs becoming costlier . Nowadays if you go to vegetable vendor a onion ot tomato or potato will cost you arpund 16 to 30 Rs an kilo.

So, it is true that their seems to be economic boom , but also along with it is the 'problem' boom . So , is it India shining or India problem shining.In reality , earnings to expenditure ration remains the same , so what is the shine about??

Gandhi controversy

The word Gandhigiri had a huge impact on India last year, the word being coined from the film 'Laga Raho Munnabhai'. The movie was an instant success , become popular all over. The Indian media had also played a part in the movie's success. The role of the media in contempary India is huge, but will discuss it later.

On coming on Bapuji's subject as he is affectionately called , a controversy was sparked recently because of an offensive video done by an Indian living in U.S.It shows Gandhi in bad manner , although i have just read it from reports,and have not seen it.He is shown as a person firing Ak-47 rifle , showing knives to the people, flirting and doing vulgar dance etc. I couldnt believe that an Indian was behind in making this video.

But that's how India is, unity among people is less in social and political issues , unlike , most other countries where a larger to life figure is respected and reverred amongst their people.

Well , i also have seen another video of Gandhi , from an italian communication company , which shows the importance of Mahatma.This ad also won the EPICA awards for the best ad.

Serial Killings in Noida

The new year has started with a real bad news with the reports of Noida killings. Report come that more than 30 children and still counting have been brutally murdered and buried in Nithari village in Noida.

Reports of children missing frequently from this village and surroundings was well known to the police authorities and the local administration , but still no action what so ever was taken.The reason seems quite obvious ,police and the administration being corrupted by the killers , some high political influence, and since villagers who are mainly poor, being neglected by policemen.

It's real shame that a dastardly act has taken place , and the current Mulayam Singh's government has to be blamed completely. His party the samajwadi party knows how to please the minorities, how to utilize dalits and minorities for vote bank politics, how to attract actor and actresses to their campaign , all these for the sake of power.

Once elections are over , you can see the real faces of these worthless politicians. Indulging in grabbing of vast lands , swindling crores of rupees and putting them in their accounts, going in high parties.Mr.Amar Singh high profile politician of the same party is a well known fact in all these.

Those involved in this henious act directly or indirectly must be dealth severly , the centre should act in an swift and just manner without getting influenced even it be that some congress politicains might also be in it.

The whole nation shows sympathy towards the families of those whose children were killed , let us assure them that justice shall prevail.

Reservations in Educational Institutions

The reservation issue continues to remain the main headlines in India , with the government doing nothing about it substantially. Agreed, that the OBC , SC/ST students are meritorious , they can compete with the forward caste , but then just on the basis that the the OBC's, SC/ST''s are underprevilaged do not have sufficient income cannot be the reason for reserving some amount of seats to them.This view point is absurd and incorrect.Arent there lower income groups among the forward caste.What will the governemnt do for them?.
The point is abolish the reservation system in India. It hasn't worked for 50 years and will not do so for another 50 years.My opinion is to identify people who are meritorious in school , especially people from lower income group,provide them the monetary support ,if needed, let there talent take them to higher learning.
If government is serious it has to sponsor more no of meritorious students than say a handful of them.I agree it was not possible before because of lack of fund ,but now where India is growing at rapid pace, the funding should not be a problem,with India 's foriegn exchange reserves touching a new high.

The minsiters should stop playing poliitics and act with all seriousness.
