Secularism from the roots...

               WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens…                                                                                                       

                         These are the lines from the Preamble of our Constitution. We have declared our nation a secular country. Is it so? Almost every day when I go through the news paper there will be some or the other news on communal clashes; caste based politics; new subsidies, quotas which create differences and many other disgraceful events that are happening across the country. Recently Dadri Incident had raised doubts on our ‘Unity in Diversity’. We are facing many problems which we need to tackle as a nation but instead we are fighting among ourselves for the sake of worth less religion or cast. Religion is created to bind ourselves to some rules so that we do not commit mistakes at least in the fear of God. Unfortunately we are using religion to fight among ourselves in the name of God. I do agree that there are some ideologies which contradict each other’s religious sentiments but we need to be mature enough to understand that human relationships and mutual cooperation is above all sentiments. After all we live in the same country, follow same path while traveling to our destinations. I do not think any God of any religion will encourage violence, if anyone is there to encourage we do not call him God. I personally believe that there only one such supernatural power, that is Nature. If we protect the Nature it will allow us to survive if we try and destroy it will destroy us and if we fight among ourselves it will never bother to help. Every individual has to follow the same routine cycles like eating, sleeping etc in order to survive, then why these differences? We had right to follow any religion, this is secularism. We do not have right to hate other religions, this is also secularism. These are the initial thoughts that are to be injected in the young minds before we teach any other principles. If this had been done there would not be a situation that is present in Syria or in Dadri. Caste system is another social barrier persisting in our country since ages. I do not understand this concept of caste, the basis on which they divided people. Whatever it may be today it has been a disgrace to my country. Today I question the previous generation who often comments about present generation ‘Aren’t you ashamed of differentiating people on the basis of cast? Aren’t ashamed of injecting the idea of cast in the present generation? ‘. I would call these people who created differences among us on the basis of cast as ‘ The Educated Illiterates ’ We all know the meaning of dignity of labour, we know the importance of every occupation in this society, the why this discrimination? We need to step out of these boundaries, respect every individual and unite to fight against corruption, poverty, illiteracy and unemployment. Jai Hind. Satyamevajayate.

                    I am an Indian before my religion, I am an Indian before my state, I am an Indian before my language, I am an Indian before my name. I am an Indian to Change, I Change to Change my nation. Let us follow the new religion # INDIANISM.

The Independence Day.

         Wish you a very happy independence day to all my fellow Indians and also to the neighboring country. This day is considered as an auspicious day in the history of India as we achieved independence from the British rule which is treated more as slavery than as a rule or government. We had completed 68 years of independence. Our leaders had a vision for our country when we had achieved our independence which is also projected in our constitution and our laws. Now the question is ‘Where we stand in achieving that vision?’ Did we achieve at least 50% of it? It is difficult to answer. In these 68 years we had achieved many laurels for our country. We had a potential defence, navy and air force units which are continuously guarding our nation. We had taken up successful Mangalyan project recently which shows our potential in space navigation and research. We had developments in various sectors and in some sectors we emerged as leaders. Some of our companies had got world class recognition. India emerged as one of the greatest tourist attraction which may be the only country sustaining various cultures with harmony. India became the symbol for peace and love where some of the animals are also given respect. India became the source of man power which is providing potential employees to the most esteemed companies. Many companies today have Indians at their top positions. We are successful in implementing technology with in the country. We are able to build world class cities. We had achieved many laurels in the sports as a nation. Today we are the most trusted market to the world where they can invest. We developed a fairly stable economy. We are also successful in many ways as a nation and as a largest democratic nation. We are fortunate enough to see Abdul Kalam who is an inspiration for the modern generation of India. We are gifted with many legends in various fields. In contrast we had to tackle many failures in traveling towards are dream to become a self sustained developed nation. Though we achieved independence we are still bound in the shackles of governance, education and caste system. We had to face new social barriers like crime and corruption which had grown substantially in independent India. Our politics became an analogy for crime and corruption. Farmers are still dependent on monsoons and money lenders in our independent India. Student is dependent on their financial status to choose the field of study in independent India. Girls need to depend on someone to travel on roads at night. Where are we independent? We are independent in corruption. We had freedom to litter on the roads. In some areas girls did not have freedom to even enter the schools. Most of the women are forced to quit their jobs after marriages. Dowry system is still prevailing which is turning out to be a nightmare for bride’s father and also one of the reason for female infanticides. Some are still bound to superstitions and some are specially imposed on girls. Education system needed a change wherein we need a system that is encouraging for students to learn and apply things rather than focus on just examinations. We failed to attract students who are leaving the country and are settling in foreign countries and as a result the brilliant thoughts which are handcrafted in India are not used for our development as a nation. The reservation system still persists which shows our failure in removing the differences in the society. There are several barriers we are facing today and each of these needed a broad minded hearts. Crimes against women are increasing. We need to tackle all these with our bold hearts and overcome all barriers in order to become a self sustained developed nation where the citizens are blessed with knowledge that enhances the human relationships and comforts and make this holy land a best place to pursue knowledge along with wisdom. Let us not forget our nation the next day of Independence Day. The national anthem we sing on this day should be a symbol of religious harmony. Let us join the hands together and show the power of the largest youth nation to the world. Personally I like two important things on this day. One is the national flag breathing the warm respects of Indians and the other  is the voice of India uniting to sing the national anthem keeping all their differences apart. Jai Hind. Satyamevajayate.

I request all Indians to be bound to National Integrity and Cultural Harmony rather than to caste and religion. It is ‘Vandemataram’ and not ‘One Day Mataram’. I believe in one god which is my mother land and which is above all religions as prescribed in the Indian Mythology. 

The article is dedicated to A.P.J Abdul Kalam who always stays alive in our hearts.  

The Professor's woes

                  I strongly believe that the solutions to the problems which we face as a nation can be achieved only through education with values. The source of such value added education is ‘Guru’. The education will be complete if we have good teachers. The aim of a professor should be creating creative individuals who can try and change the phase of the country respecting the values of the country, but not to hike his salary. A professor should be concentrating on creating interest, but today it seems that they themselves do not have any interest. It is harsh to blame them alone. Again it is the system which has to be blamed. This system is not encouraging the professors who are really interested and had that passion to teach but they wanted professors who had good qualifications and who don’t really understand the students and who don’t put efforts to create interest among the students. Most of the professors today are carrying their profession as a duty imposed on them for which they are taking salary but not as a responsibility.

             Most of the professors are forced to do their PhD’s just for the reputation of the institution which is acting as a burden to them and as a result they are losing interest in creating interest among students. Adding to these they have bonus in the form of management work. Especially in private institutions the professors are not even respected and are not recognized. There are always those dirty politics accompanying in promotions, salary hikes etc. With all these the bonus comments from students. Do you want to be a professor? Yes I want and I want to be that ‘Change’ which can change the system. I dedicate this article to those professors and school teachers who inspired me and created interest in me despite of their burdens. Hope we can see more Abdul Kalams and Radhakrishnas . Jai Hind. Satyamevajayate.

#RIP APJ ABDUL KALAM.

      He may be 83 years old. His smile is as fresh as that of a child. He may be the former president of India yet he had never misused his power or his status. He is an ever learning student who is an inspiration for all the students of the country. He is a great teacher who is an inspiration for the whole teaching community and who dedicated his life for uplift of the education system and students, even after becoming the President of India. He is the father of Nuclear Science of India. He is the inspiration for all those scientists who dedicated their research for the country. He is the one who understand the innocent thoughts of children more than their parents. He is the most loved individual of the country. We may miss him physically but we can see his innocent smile in every child, his milestones in every milestone we achieve as a country, his ideas in youngsters, his thoughts in students, his success in every missile or spaceship we send. He had done his part and we cannot expect more from a single missile. As he wished, he had his last moments with the young minds of India. He inspired us till his last breath. I do not have any words to say or may be the English doesn't have words to describe him. Letzzz take inspiration from him and work as a team keeping all our differences apart to achieve his vision 2020 for our country which can be the only homage and respect we can pay to the great legend. Jai Hind. Satyamevajayate.

It is not a loss. Let us interpret this as a chance to repay him in terms of service to nation and may be he wanted every Indian to get inspired and he sacrificed his life for the cause.
