RESPECT INDIAN SOLDIERS

 

We all keep on whining about our problems and lives but have we ever thought of people least paid by government and living the most difficult lives? Those are the people who stand in -40 degrees protecting us so that we can sleep peacefully! Its easy to find problems and whine about them but it would be better if we could work on them. Its easy to find loopholes in country or governance or putting allegations or for that matter debating upon right to dissent from saying “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”, but have you ever imagined how peaceful lives we have considering the unrest in African and Middle Eastern Countries but still we are thankful to nobody! I believe that the people saying anti nationalist slogans or disrespecting the country should feel shame upon themselves. If we want to make things better then we need a common feeling of Nationalism that will unite every citizen of India, irrespective of religions we should proudly identify ourselves as INDIANS.

RESPECT INDIAN SOLDIERS! RESPECT YOUR MOTHERLAND! PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN!

INDIAN CULTURE

If I was asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life and found solutions, I should point to India.                                       – Max Mueller

Culture is the idea, value and beliefs of a particular civilization at a particular period. It is more than anything else, ‘A State of Mind’. Culture is the mixture of several things like fashion, music, artistry, behavior, social norms, architecture and even food and dress sense. India is known as the land of culture and tradition and is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Indian culture is rich and unique in its own ways. The projection of our culture has definitely taken a nosedive but something which has lasted, grown and emancipated over centuries cannot easily be wiped out or disintegrated.

Civilization relating to India goes back to several millenniums and the earliest one on record is the Indus Valley Civilization, Hinduism owes it origins to Vedas and the Hindu Culture laid reverence for these holy scriptures scripted in the sacred language of Sanskrit. It basically had some salient points which were a belief in God in some form, emphasis on rituals, which were believed to unite them in spiritual kinship, belief in the Guru-Shishya tradition of learning, a demarcated caste system based on the work allotted.

Besides the Hindu religion we have the Jains who have claimed their religion to be most ancient of all, even to Aryan Hinduism and presented scholarly support to the existence of Jainism in the Indus Valley. Buddhism, is another religion in our country which is based on the teachings of Gautam Buddha. It is also one of the great religions of the world. Scholars have avoided the world religion for Buddhism and prefer to call it a system of morality or ethics. Islam was brought to India by the invaders and even as they set up their rule in the country, they indulged in propagation and forceful conversion. It is today a religion with one of the largest followings in the world.

The earliest of recorded and prominent invasion was that of Alexander. The major effect of this invasion was that his march produced a land route from Europe to India with the result that Greek and Indian civilizations came in close contact in fluencing each other to a great extent. Later we have had the influences of Christianity brought into India by the French, the Portugese and to a major extent by the Britishers who ruled for nearly two centuries. Further to this we have had a sprinkling of Jews and a good chunk of Parsis seeking refuge in our country.

In the cauldron of this composite mixture of various religions and cultures evolved the Hindustani culture in Northern Indian and the Dravidian culture of the South. The Bhakti movement in the Middle Ages in India were an all-india socio-religious movement. Ramanuj, Nanak, Ramanand and Kabir, Namdeva, Tukaram and Ramdas, Jaidev and Chaitanya denounced the caste system and brought about socio-religious reforms in the Hindus society. The Nawabi culture of Central India and mainly Lucknow brought a different artistic style to the prevalent customs of royalty which filtered down to the middle class. This was famously known as ‘Tehzib’.

The political setup of our country is based on acceptance of this composite way of life with freedom to practice ones own religious and culture in any part of the country. The majority Hindus have always been a tolerant religion and have soaked a variety of this composition into their culture yet several things practiced today are very hard to be categorized. The social fabric of our country has been made strong over the centuries through our varied cultures. It is our religious and culture which is attracting persons of all religious and nationality to the country.

Millions of Indians have left for foreign shores and their second generations are growing up there. These young ones are more susceptible to change and assimilation. They are the ones growing up in an environment alien to us but quiet natural to them. The surprising part is that even after all the exposure to this foreign culture, they continue to retain the basics of the culture their parents had imbibed in them by behaving normally at home. The roots are so deep that it is quiet difficult to strip them off.

Just by singing or strumming rock, Lazzard Pop music does not annihilate our culture. Wearing Western dresses or speaking in a different accent does not mean that our culture is at the point of disintegration. Beauty pageants, which are being violently opposed by a section of our society, are not powerful enough to change or influence our culture. The younger generation has still its umbilical cord connected to their ethnic culture securely even as they become progressively modern. There are millions of youngsters in the metros dancing at discotheques who go back to retain their tradition and culture where it really matters. It is definitely the strength of our culture that it cannot be so easily traded off. It is not the physical being, ‘It is a State of Mind’.

The West has borrowed our Yoga, transcended meditation, Hare Rama Hare Krishna and Ayurveda seems none the worse for it. In fact it grows more strong even like us with our young ones living it up in style. The world is after all heading for a Global Village so let us get the taste of it and continue to emancipate. Our culture can only gain by adding to it. What matters really is our identity and our ethics.

Our Indian Culture teaches us to respect elders and to treat the Guru or Teacher at a rank equal to ones’ parents. This is something which is unheard of in the developed nations. Our culture is slowly being eroded and the day it is considered immaterial, we shall no more have a nation. The beliefs, development of human powers, mental and spiritual training in the background of our religious traditions, all make a concerted move for our culture to be vibrant and a living entity.

Culture unity means a wholesome cohesive undercurrent flowing into the beliefs of people which jointly compose our nation. These perennial beliefs, social traditions and spiritual practices make up our cultural fabric. Cultural unity means ‘Unity in Diversity’ but this has remained a fake rhetoric only. These are the discriminating factors which are slowly growing at the roots of our culture. Our Culture will be wiped out because of this ambiguity. Let us awake and be equal to all transgressions on our cultural unity.

Reservation- justified or not?

Reservation has become a major issue in Haryana and jats have been fighting for their so called right. I must say seeing the condition of rohtak, i cannot find much difference between Jammu&Kashmir and Rohtak, the only difference being in J&K these violent acts are done by terrorist and in Rohtak these are the citizens of the country doing so; really shameful it is. There are several videos of jats buring buses, trains, police stations and government is bearing loss in crores.

If this is how things are meant to be done then let all the communities come out and destroy the nation slowly. I am sorry but this is not the way things are meant to be done. First of all,reservation is meant for people who are economically backward and to ensure equality of opportunities to those; not for the richer dumb class who have profited from Green Revolution and are not capable of getting admissions on merit. Second of all, if you want reservation then there is a systematic way of doing everything; file a writ petition in High Court or Supreme Court.

There have been news saying there is high alert in delhi, jaipur etc because terrorist might use this as an opportunity. It is very despicable to see how much we hate terrorism and now indirectly promoting it.

At one side  our soldiers are fighting for us without caring about their lives and thousands of them die every year and it breaks my heart and definitely their heart too after seeing the condition of nation. Is it the nation for which they sacrificed their lives? Don’t let their sacrifice go in vain. Be a citizen who is worth protecting for. #IncredibleIndia

Should Anti Nationalism be tolerated?

I have been refraining from writing on this sensitive issue from long but i think its high time. Jawaharlal Nehru University, a very renowned and reputed university is now facing serious conflicts. Who is responsible? Kanhaiya or other JNU students or BJP government or someone else?

Now, the basic facts which are known to us are some of the JNU students were seen saying Anti Nationalist slogans in a rally which was basically against the punishment of Afzal Guru (a known terrorist) and this rally was approved by the president of JNU students union Kanhaiya who has been arrested for sedition and other students are absconding. There are so many people against this arrest and doing marches whereas there are many who say shutdown JNU and want to kill these people for being against the nation. But will it do any good? If 10 students of JNU say anti nationalist slogans, then shutting down whole university or treating all JNU students in the same manner is not justified.

And people who are claiming videos are tampered by ABVP students union, i believe this should be left to the police and judiciary to decide upon. Yes,delhi police can be under control of central but judiciary is an independent body under article 50, so  I don’t know why extraneous violence and protests have been taking place. If the absconding JNU students are innocent then i don’t see the point of running away. And if this has really taken place, then I am sorry we are not tolerant enough to just leave these students. If punishment won’t be given today then a lot more will happen tomorrow.

At last, I would just say that please recall the death of Hanumanthappa and thousand of soldiers who die fighting and protecting us on borders. Be a citizen who is worth fighting for. #IncredibleIndia

A Rising issue- “Intolerant India”

I would just like to remind people quoting India as “Intolerant Nation”, that you’re talking about intolerance of that land where Mahmud Ghaznavi invaded the Somnath Temple still we gave him another chance; you’re talking about that land where we tolerated British for more than 200 years; you’re talking about the nation where everytime ceasefire violation is done by Pakistan and we don’t seek to destroy their nation; you’re talking about that nation where we are still tolerating the disrespectful remarks and gestures for our mother nation! There are many ongoing debates regarding this issue but people please, this nation has given a lot to all of us, if you cannot be the change; then please do not pass disgraceful remarks for the country you are living in.

PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN! #IncredibleIndia

Let the Peace Prevail

Abdul was taking his last breadth
living last few moments of his life,
He was called a terrorist
who crossed the border of India
with dangerous intentions,
But he was not born as a Terrorist!
He was not born with this mindset,
it was given to him by people!
He was killed in a cease fire,
Also many people got injured in same,
And a small kid Faizal was killed
He was innocent but
then why did he deserve this?
Soldiers of India and Pakistan,
both keep fighting on borders
taking each others lives,
protecting their Nations,
but from whom?
So many mothers loose their sons
sisters loose their brothers, wives loose their husbands,
this loss takes place at both sides
then who gains and who wins?
What is the reason of this war?
Why this hatred? Why this terrorism?

Let the Peace prevail for once and see how this world becomes paradise!

GIRLS, Don’t fake it up, Stand up and make it up!

Recently, there have been many cases where Girls are putting fake allegations on guys and as our law is partial towards girls, some innocent guys have been suffering.

Yes, I am also a girl; yes, i have also been eve teased; yes, i also understand that pain; yes, i know there are many situations when bad comments are passed on us on the basis of what we are wearing. But I also understand that the way girl’s reputation is important  in society, same is for guys too! You cannot blame any guy out of revenge taking advantage of law, showing others that girls are weak. This is Pathetic. This is insult of all those girls who have been fighting for so long for their rights and justice.

“Strong women don’t play victim, don’t make themselves look pitiful and don’t point fingers. They stand and they deal!”

LIFE AFTER DEATH

DECODED

Does this question strike your mind that what happens after we die?

Do we go in some other world Or do we just die?

What happens to our soul when it releases our body?

WHAT IS LIFE AFTER DEATH

To know this I decided to go to a series of scientific theories and religious conclusions.

Death is a depressingly inevitable consequence of life, but now scientists believe they may have found some light at the end of the tunnel. The largest ever medical study into near-death and out-of-body experiences has discovered that some awareness may continue even after the brain has shut down completely.

It’s a fascination with life that’s at the root of our fascination with death. Do we live on in some sort of metaphysical way? Do we experience anything comparable to what we call ‘consciousness’?

Death is only a man-made term after all. For some a beginning, for some an end, and for many simply a state of disrepair when medicine gives up.

A man an atheist who died twice for about two minutes at a time, once from a motorcycle accident, once from an overdose of painkillers

Let’s see what he found after his death.

“I had no idea, it was just black emptiness. No thoughts, no consciousness, nothing.

“Both times I was just “not there”. It was just all black. I would describe it as when you take a nap. A short nap with no dream, you wake up and it feels like you’ve been sleeping a long time, when in reality it’s only been about 15 minutes.

“The only reason I know is because the doctors were obligated to share the information with me. “So yeah, you were dead for a couple of minutes, just FYI” hahaha.

“So if the doctors wouldn’t have said anything I would’ve just thought that I took a dreamless nap.”

On whether he really experienced ‘black emptiness’ or if this was just how his memory filled in the ‘blank’…

“It was definitely not just a gap. Much like a dreamless nap, you don’t just wake up and feel like time just jumped ahead. You know that you’ve been asleep for a while. At the same time, you can’t really remember experiencing anything at all, unless you had a dream.

“So yes and no. I experienced something, and that something was nothing.”

On religion and the afterlife…

“I have always been an atheist, but I have always had a part of me that hoped there was a God or Heaven or something greater than us. I mean, who wouldn’t want there to be a Heaven?

“I am still an atheist, and now I know that there is no such thing as God or Heaven. At least not for me. My reasoning behind that is no God would ever put a person and family through such a experience.

“I am an Atheist, and always will be. But I believe that your belief is your belief. The only thing we can share is our own experiences and let people make up their own mind. People need to stop forcing their own beliefs onto others.”

Now reading about what happens to a person who’s a believer and dies due to a car accident –

‘I felt really emotional at that time, I could see everything , what my mother said to me , my family my friends and everything and then I saw one white light leading me to the path of my creator and when I reached him everything was blank.

Then my doctor woke me up’

Their are certain scientific evidences and theory  that what happens after we die

To complete or conclusion we need to see what the theory says and also see one experiment.

There is scientific evidence to suggest that life can continue after death, according to the largest ever medical study carried out on the subject.

A team based in the UK has spent the last four years seeking out cardiac arrest patients to analyse their experiences, and found that almost 40 per cent of survivors described having some form of “awareness” at a time when they were declared clinically dead.

Experts currently believe that the brain shuts down within 20 to 30 seconds of the heart stopping beating – and that it is not possible to be aware of anything at all once that has happened.

But scientists in the new study said they heard compelling evidence that patients experienced real events for up to three minutes after this had happened – and could recall them accurately once they had been resuscitated.

Dr Sam Parnia, an assistant professor at the State University of New York and a former research fellow at the University of Southampton who led the research, said that he previously that patients who described near-death experiences were only relating hallucinatory events.

After I read the stories by both believers and non believers,

A question that hit my mind was

Why did a non believer saw nothing just a black emptiness and a believer was seeing his some extra ordinary spirits ?

How was a person able to experience the whole scenario in the above experiment?

My explanation is simple

Whatever we believe happens,

After we die our body remains alive for a few minutes,

The body remains in the state of consciousness and we dream things before we die,

In the case of an atheists he never believed in the existence of super natural power so he dreamt of nothing,

Just a short nap

And in a case of believer

He his whole life believed that after death he’ll meet God or will find salvation that’s why he saw all this,

On other case a person who was not accepting the fact that he died , he was feeling whatever was happening in the room,

He was kind of facing sleep paralysis!

So here’s the simple theory

Death is death, after you die you die but before that you go in a dreaming state

If you’re a believer , you’ll see what you see

If you’re a non believer you will just go in a state of dreaming or maybe only a black empty space.

Even, Lord Krishna says in Bhagvata Gita- “A man is made up of his beliefs, as he believe so is he!”

DON’T LOOK DOWN TO ME

Its not my fault, that i am fat
You treat me Bad and makes me Sad!

Its not my fault , that i look short
you tease me and make me feel lonely!

Its not my fault, that I am black
Then why am I bullied, should i feel pitied?

Its not my fault that I am a girl
is it such a crime, that i should live with guilt?

Its not my fault, that I am gay
should i be treated like a prey?

Its not my fault, That i am disable
Is that why i am socially unaaceptable?

Its not my fault that, I look ugly
If only our eyes saw souls
instead of bodies
how very different, our ideas of beauty would be!

You look at me but you don’t see me.
You speak to me but you talk down to me.
Have you ever felt like a prisoner in your own body?
Have you ever had a crowd stare at you with humiliating pity?
I’m a person too,
I’m sick and tired of being overlooked,
You will hear my voice.
I won’t be ignored,
Why must I be ignored?
I will stand up for myself
Using all my strength
No one will ever laugh at me
No one will look down to me!

Yakub Memom’s Death Punishment- Justified or not?

Thousands of Families are still surrounded by the Air of Melancholy as the death of their loved ones in the Mumbai Serial Bomb Blast 1993 have left the families in torment. We live in a Nation where the life of a Barbaric Ruthless Inhuman Terrorist is so important that his death has become a debatable topic. A terrorist’s death is being mourned by hundreds of people. I believe that it was truly justified and see no reason to consider him innocent. It was purely fair as the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India resumed the case hearing of Yakub Memon (The Mastermind of Mumbai Serial Blast 1993) at 2:30 am in the morning even after the dismissal of the Curative petition. If we recall the past then a total number of 257 innocent civilian were killed and more than 800 people were severely injured in 13 bomb blasts. Mercy is not meant for such Ruthless & Cruel Terrorists. From past 22 years the voice of people are full of despair, The Sacrifice & Martyrdom of the Shaheed Bhagat Singh & the Lionhearted Soldiers of India is not a vain attempt, it is the time when we all have to unite against this Evil of Terrorism. JAI HIND!!
