Jawahar Lal - who laid India's foundation.

“When the world sleeps, India will awake to life & freedom.”

Nehru became Gandhi's right hand in early days in India till the very end.

From freedom struggle to being the first prime minister of India, Nehru gave his life for future generations. He protected India’s diversity at a time when political thinkers, social scientists & world leaders all across the globe declared that it is impossible for a nation like India to survive with so many religions, languages, cultures and other diversities.

He not only protected India from becoming ‘Hindu Pakistan’ but earned a respectable place for the nascent poor country at the world stage. A country whose survival was being questioned started playing role in brokering peace deals between warring nations. He gave us a foundation on which we have today proudly built a prosperous, Secular, respected & truly free nation.

Though the two main political parties of India are fighting over ideologies & leaders, we must not forget that every leader belongs to every Indian. So we owe to our Chacha Nehru for keeping democracy, secularism, freedom of expression, religion & liberal values alive.

Happy 125^th Birth Anniversary to great freedom struggler, true patriot, liberal thinker, statesman and a world leader.

Nehru ji, U kept your word. India is certainly Alive & Free.

Raping Humanity while protecting faith

On 30^th anniversary of the Sikh pogrom which followed the assassination of Indira Gandhi, stories of murders, rapes, pyres of burning bodies, fathers & husbands being torched in front of their kids and wives resurface in the memories of Indians. The punishment was meant for an act which these more than 3000 Sikhs never committed. The only feeling that pains me is the thought and dilemma that…

What kind of Hindus are those who justify Sikhs being burnt and raped for no fault of theirs !

What kind of Sikhs are those who justify Hindus being separated from buses in Punjab to be shot at in front of their families for the reason that they don’t share the same religion with the murderers !

What kind of Muslims are those who feel pained at their co religionists being killed in riots but than justify Kashmiri Pandits being thrown out of their houses from Kashmir!

What faith are we protecting by professing all religions but inhumanity ? To me the only religion these chauvinists & hate mongers belong to is Brainlessness. How else can these people be fooled by politicians to do all the acts that disgrace the humanity?

We still keep arguing the superiority of one faith over the other. The only way to have a better world is to change our first religion from Hinduism, Sikhism, Christianity & Islam to ‘Humanity’ and place our gods after humans.

I wish we can see those who led those mobs in 1984 in Delhi & other places spend the last days of their lives in Jails. 

Dowry : Taken with Pride..What is that Car doing there ?

Punjabis are known for their extravagance & lavishness and when it comes to celebrations, money flows like water in Sutlej. This very quality has been showcased by many bollywood movies, as in Vicky Donor where initially the South Indians feel irked by the loudness and unnecessary (for them) craziness of North Indians but at the end find themselves dancing to the tunes of Punjabi songs. Punjabis watching the movie feel extremely happy for they are proud of their loudness ( & they won over the south Indians with their 3 Ds – Dance, Daaru (Whisky) & Dhol). In contrast to what Mr Modi offers with his 3 Ds, unfortunately but proudly Punjab has a different set of Ds to offer.

Coming to a specific quality of Punjabi marriages. Any one going to a marriage has a question in his mind – Gaddi kehri ditti hai ? ( Which Car has been gifted ). You will than find a decorated car at the entrance flying in the face of all social campaigns advocating women empowerment and equality between sexes.

And cars…. Alto, Zen, Nano are lesser citizens among cars for the prosperous state. It has to be a SUV or a Sedan and if it is a BMW or Audi, it is a gift worth praising. Social status is something which is driving this state into all wrong deeds including the lucrative drug smuggling.

The most amazing thing about these marriages is the silent agreement between everyone who is part of the celebrations. You ask them ,”Isn’t it dowry?”, even a child knows the answer “it’s a gift ,not dowry”. One is bound to wonder that why is  such an expensive gift being given by the girl’s family to the bridegroom and not the other way. The ever ready answer is ,” Gaddi tan kudi nu hi milni hai” (Ultimately the girl will receive the car). Such a unanimous sentiment displays how an organised crime is carried out with perfection. And the legislators presumed that they ended this custom, which is said to be one of many causes of the skewed sex ration in North India, the day they passed the law in the Temples of Democracy. What a tragic joke!!!

The sex ratio of Punjab is plunging with every new census warning the state to be ready for what neighbouring state Haryana is facing. No girls, No marriages and finally this gift concept reverses. Now Haryanvi Boys are ready to pay to find a girl to marry, yet many remain unmarried. Even kidnapping and buying girls is not rare these days. It is a gift which is given to younger generations by the elders in return of dowry they (gave and) received. These ‘Missing girls’ are probably going to places like Kerala in these big ‘gifted’ cars where they find a better social place and dignified life.

But such is this proud & boastful community that they will commit a crime (may be sin) and show off to the world, declaring “Yes we take dowry, do whatever you can”. What else is that car at the marriage resort standing for ?

Shutting the debate on feminism with a message to guests , “Continue the tradition.”

Nobel Prize : Peace trespasses Wars & Fundamentalism

The Nobel Prize for Peace has been announced.

It is shared by a Pakistani & an Indian, A Hindu & a Muslim. Two protagonists have, though for a small time, brought the two countries together who've been warring with each other since they were born. The two nations are closest in terms of language, culture, traditions, history, interest and much more. Still guns are always loaded at each other.

After 70 years of animosities, three wars and never ending skirmishes, at last two countries are sharing Nobel ,unlike boundaries, PEACEFULLY. I wonder there would be a war if both nations start arguing who contributed more to peace.


The prize symbolizes & gives the message that Humanity & Peace knows no religion or borders. Let us feel proud as South Asians. Let peace prevail.

PM Modi : India _ Never more proud, hopeful & Enthused

PM Modi has brought new life to Indians' dreams to make their nation the "GOLDEN SPARROW" which it was once called in the history. We always knew that we have all the talent, brains, ideas and determination which is needed to be the Best. All we needed was a leader. And after Gandhi, Pandit Nehru..... Our 'Rockstar PM' has arrived.

The Rockstar PM

Modi Modi Modi has made evident to the world from Tokyo to New York that India is planning to do something Big. And that Big is fulfilling the dream of Bapu- The father of our Nation.

It is now the duty of all of us to join hands to contribute our bit for making our country THE LAND OF GODS again as our ancestors did when Mahatma Gandhi gave a call.

To Gandhi ji:

67 saal kar lia araam, ab Inquilab ki baari hai
Teri di Azaadi ka karz chukaane ki ab baari hai...

(We have relaxed for 67 years, Now is the time for another Revolution
The freedom that you gave us, Now is the time to make India of your dream)

FATHER OF OUR NATION

Come on India. Let us Rock & Shock the world. Jai Hind .... Vande Matram

HINDU RASHTRA : AN UTOPIAN DREAM

HINDU RASHTRA : AN UTOPIAN DREAM

DISCLAIMER - All the Senas (except Bhartiya Sena) like Shivsena, Hindu Rashtra Sena, RSS, VHP do not represent Hindus. Most of the Hindus are unaffected by what they do and say, many have never heard of them and their dreams and many, though small in number hate them for their uncivilized, anti national, hate mongering acts.

Just after finishing the largest ever democratic process, India has seen all the small, tiny but acid throwing fringe groups based on Hindutva ideology resurfacing on the political space. Some demand a Hindu Rashtra where only Hindus live following the so called glorious Hindu way of life. This they claim will purify the nations, though it may take murdering, burning or even raping some humans.

Let us examine how realistic their dream is.

We in India proudly have the second largest populations of Muslims only behind Indonesia. With our glorious Democratic ethos and free speech, liberal values we have failed the most diabolical Terror groups in their attempts of creating a space in our secular nation.Those selling dreams of a Hindu Rashtra are akin to the salesmen selling air filled in jars , though immoral and unethical but profitable. That's called Marketing!!!

The takers of these dreams are the poor souls who are fooled again and again with this political 'Carrot & Stick', but they are so loyal to their leaders that they will even die with this dream as their last wish. Maybe the leader says Tathastu. The best we can do these fellow Indians is taking them to a good Psychiatrist for daydreaming too much. How can 18% of over a billion population vanish ? What do they expect to do with them ?

Even the least sane person understands that it is Impossible. But Alas! Insanity has taken some radical human brains.

These divisive groups are blowing off the secular credentials of our Constitution every single day with much pride. The depressing fact is the support they garner from voters, who want to have a country with homogenity in religion and believe that all other things like Economic development, Law & Order, Education, Trade & Commerce will automatically fall in place.

The first education Minister of India was a muslim and a leading protagonist challenging M.A. Jinnah's self proclaimed claim of being the sole representative of all Muslims of South Asia. In similar lines these Indian Hindu Leagues claim such things. The matter of the fact is that RSS is equally responsible for partition as Muslim League is. Both were operating their hate selling shops in the most cordial reciprocity.

What a shame for us that we Indians suddenly are awaken by a warning from Terrorist group losing its ground.  Do we need such warnings for our experts to suggest that the widening gap between Muslims & Hindus may prove disastrous ? The alienation of Muslim youth has to be narrowed, our experts advice. Or New Delhi wakes up when some rebellious religious group picks up arms against it to get what it deserved and was denied by the majority community.

The new PM Modi has amazed not only the nation but the world by his Vision. But he has no less confused the country with his "Speak & Silence" policy. He will speak about Good Governance and some Yogis and Maharajs wrongly placed in nation's Parliament will puke hatred on which our PM remains Silent.

This silence shall not be converted into the silent before a Big Storm.

GAZA Needs a Gandhi.

It's been over a month that the world is watching painful images of children bleeding off their amputated parts from their living rooms before switching over to another channel as those images seem too ugly to be seen during dinner time. What is the world doing? What if our children were under constant threat of being killed by rockets coming from sky anytime? What if hospitals & schools were attacked in a sinful attempt of cleansing of our whole nation?

No place to run! No place to hide! No place to sleep in peace! No place to live..... for these Palestinians kids who are in a war for some reason they don't know.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE ?

The world- the think tanks, nations, common public, social media- has divided itself into two groups. These two "Super Expert" groups keep giving their comments now & then as to who & why is Israel or Hamas responsible. But as an Indian Proverb goes," You can't clap with one hand." Both Hamas & Israel have dug their heels on ideologies which seem completely illogical reason for their efforts. The death row is about to touch 2000 with majority of them Palestinians & many among them Children, unfortunately. In the war of this geo politics, wouldn't it be more prudent for the Hamas to bow down a little bit, for it is their people who are getting killed like anything. Though they claim they are fighting their war.

How Mahatma Gandhi handled a similar war ?

Remembering India at the triumph of 20th century, one will find many small revolutionary groups which were fighting War of Resistance against a big power who had chained their nation, much similar to what Hamas says it is doing. With no(or little) money, ammunition, experience, leaders, strategy, discipline, those groups dreamed of conquering the mighty Britain which had won over most of its enemy nations of the time. Was it a possible idea to win over Britain. Gandhi had the answer to this question, it obviously was NO.

Gandhi with his unmatched intellect devised a new weapon never used by anyone in the world - NON VIOLENCE. Satyagraha was his call to awaken the soul of the enemy by resistance. He believed that Truth can shake the most stone hearted person's soul. And that was the weapon for which Britain found no reply.Never Ever!!

The numerous wars he fought using his Non Violent Satyagraha from 1920s to 1942 had completely shaken the foundations of British rule & Indians and Britons were on the same table, discussing the way forward for Independence. Though they were Rulers & Subjects.

World also saw similar movement in the Country where Gandhi first experimented his weapon. South Africa finished the inhuman Apartheid only when they had Nelson Mandela, who gave away his life following similar ideals.

Martin Luther King in his fight against racism used the same principles. So after South Africa, USA had their Gandhi. And look what ripples they created. Though the same USA keeps his lips sealed & friendship intact with Israel.
What was common in these struggles was - Non Violence.

Message for Palestine

"An eye for an eye ends up making the whole world blind". Mahatma's divine message seems true in Gaza & Hamas and Palestine should be the one which stops violence first & raise a white flag because they are on the receiving end. The only way to have a free Palestine starts after shedding guns & coming on the table. May be the world stand on the Palestinian side. Expecting from Israel will end up in the same fate, how it ended up for Jews expecting from Adolf Hitler.
