Freeze gyaan not eggs! Confused people aren't having babies

 Freezing eggs is becoming very popular. People who don't have strong family ties are  busy getting certificates, degrees, and good jobs. Some say having children isn't  worth it because the world is tough for kids. Many activists and people who call themselves  liberals don't like having kids.

Sridhar Vembu, the founder of Zoho, told students to have kids in their twenties instead  of waiting for degrees and good jobs. This is a smart idea. Today, this means getting  married in the mid-twenties and having kids by thirty. Only people who are not educated, not good at work, and don't perform well have big families and take advantage of  benefits without helping society. The  number of educated and smart people  is  decreasing quickly.

Because of stress, bad food, poor living conditions, and lack of good meals, many adults have health problems by the time they are fifty. By sixty, when they retire, they worry  about their children’s education, marriage, and settling down. If they are lucky enough  to live to seventy, they still have to face the pressure of their kids not settling down because they got married and had kids late. Doctors say the best age to have kids is between twenty-five and thirty-five. If someone has kids after that, the children might  have lower IQs and health issues.

Economists and honest thinkers are warning that our population pattern is becoming a problem. Educated and hardworking people have fewer or no kids, but less educated  and poor performers have more children. These people use their votes to get government support from taxpayer money. Free benefits for these people are now  a big part of  Indian democracy.

In the 1980s and 1990s, half the newspapers were about marriages. People who were  highly educated from IIMs, IITs, and DU got married in their mid-thirties and had kids  by thirty. Being single or having no kids was never an option. After marriage, people  were expected to have a baby within a few months.

Now, there’s an age of no kids. “Hamare do” has turned into “hamare ek” and now into “hamare no child.” Young people are asking, “Why even get married?” Many Gen Z  people prefer to live together without marriage. Some only have pets, and some have  no  kids at all. In a 2021 interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, then-Senate- candidate Vance complained that the U.S. was being run by Democrats, corporate  leaders, and “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the  choices they've made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”

Young people today are escapists. They don’t want to grow up   and take on family responsibilities, using studies and careers as an excuse. They are scared of being  parents and don’t want to care for aging parents and other family members. Being a parent is not tough and tiring. Taking care of elderly relatives is even  harder and more stressful in small families. This has caused problems in relationships. Kids today don’t know  about  grandparents, aunts, uncles, or other family members who could help raise  them. They  live with the blame of “pitra-dosh,” “matra-dosh,” and “kul-dosh.”

Nuclear families now have to handle all the stress of raising kids, especially the mother. If she has a job, she has to balance work and home life— managing a team of help at  home like a maid, cook, driver, nanny, and cleaner. Surprisingly, with all that support  and good jobs, Gen Z parents are more stressed than the previous generation, who had lots of kids but not much money and no house help. This is the downside of having  small families.

Having kids in the mid or late twenties may feel heavy at first, but by the time parents  are forty, the kids are more mature and can take care of themselves. Plus, grandparents  are around to help. But if parents have kids after forty, they might have more  resources  but less time and energy. Kids will also worry about their parents’ health when they are in their fifties, and it will be a topic of discussion in parent-teacher meetings. No matter  the age, raising children is tough  in nuclear families. Nobody has a support system to  help raise kids. There’s no solution to this problem. Even  neighbors  don’t help  in  today’s flat culture, and the blame is on Gen Z for not building good relationships with their neighbors.

Many highly educated couples from IIMs, IITs, and DU say, “We can’t raise a child.” They can’t afford expensive schools or foreign universities for their kids. It’s not what the kids want. It’s peer pressure or a social trend. This attitude has created unhappy  children and unhappy couples. It’s a big crisis in society. Kids need love, care, and  companionship, not this hype.

UGC's (in) equity bill: Campuses can't be the fiefdom of caste pacification

 Now, campuses are full of Dalit, Bahujan, and Adivasi (DBA) students. They are almost in charge of the big schools of higher education. Many of them are second and third-generation learners in their families who have entered university thanks to reservations and quotas. Today, the so-called historically oppressed social, educational, and economic status are only talked about in books and lectures. They have enough social connections and professional networks to influence the academic curriculum. Because they are treated specially by the system, they do not feel the  need to compete in the tough competition. Their counterparts from the general category, who have grown up facing tough competition and hard work, are able to move up more easily among their peers.

This unfair advantage affects them at many levels — from admissions, to hostel room allocation, to giving DBA students extra marks in practical and  viva voce exams to avoid future trouble. It also includes  deliberately admitting reserved-quota students into general category seats during admissions, hiring faculty based on law merit and giving them easy administrative jobs. This unfair treatment can lead to fear, humiliation, frustration, abuse, and in many cases, 'depression' or systematic murder' disguised  as suicides.

The whole nation talks about the sad deaths of Rohith Vemula and Payal Tadvi, although their caste categories are not clear. But no one talks about  the suicides of general category students. Political groups, activists, NGOs, etc., demand a strong legal and constitutional system to protect the rights, careers, and dignity of DBA students. But this concern for the general category students and teachers is missing. Instead, they are treated as guilty in political debates and rallies. Jawahar Lal University (JNU) and many other universities are well-known examples of abuse against  the general category.

Higher education institutions do not have a secular system to tackle caste-related issues and their harmful effects on campus life. General category students and faculty are the victims of this lack of system.

Instead of solving the real issue, the University Grants Commission (UGC) introduced the controversial Equity Regulations Bill, replacing the 2012 setup, claiming it was a major step towards equality. On the contrary, it  was clearly biased against the general category (GC). General category students and teachers are treated as guilty from the start. There is no protection for them against harassment or victimisation by reserved category students and faculty. Also, there is no punishment for DBA students who file false complaints.

Because of this, the UGC's rules have faced big protests from the GC, who rightly argue that they will deepen caste divisions and be used to make false complaints against GC students and teachers. Regulation 3(1)(c), which only recognizes caste-based bias as discrimination against DBA groups, has been a major point of dispute. The GC has effectively been made a guilty party by this regulation.

This opposition is not unfounded, seeing the misuse of the 'Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989' by the reserved category. In the current case, the Supreme Court, led by learned CJI Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi, has stopped the UGC's equity regulations, calling them 'vague' and 'too broad'. It is a big contradiction that it was the Supreme Court that told the government to make a 'strong and robust mechanism' to deal with caste discrimination, which led to the drafting of a discriminatory law against the GC.

The comments on the UGC regulations by CJI are noteworthy - "We want a casteless society; Do you want to take the country back to the old days?' These guidelines were framed only keeping section in mind." He further commented," Blaming Brahmins for the entire caste system? Did Brahmins create caste divisions in Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Sikhs and Jains? If Brahmin caste is such a big issue, renounce your caste today! Who is stopping you?" "Even after becoming an IAS, IPS, CJI, President or Prime Minister, if someone wants to think of themselves as 'oppressed", That's not the fault of Brahmins, it's their own mindset."  

The government has formed several committees, like Sukhadeo Thorat (2007) and Bhalchandra Mungekar, who have failed to make secular and equal recommendations. Instead, their recommendations have deepened  caste division. There is no need for a new law because the 'Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989' is powerful enough to handle these issues. It is a very strong tool. However, it is being misused to oppress the general category and claim compensation.

This 1989 act is very strong in dealing with the much-hyped issue of institutional neglect and unfair social discrimination that DBA members face. The claim of neglect and discrimination is false. What about  the abuse and threat of annihilation by DBA and left-wing students against general category students? In universities like JNU, Ashoka, and Hyderabad, such cases are common. There is no protection for general category students. They also face many forms of discrimination and  oppression, with no law to protect them.

It is very important to address the legal and institutional issues that the UGC equity regulations were against. The resistance to these regulations shows that the blame placed on general category students and faculty is baseless and a creation of imagination. It is now time to acknowledge the emptiness of this blame.

Reservation policies have created a powerful group of DBA students on campuses, allowing them to influence authorities in their favor. These new  elites have pushed  the poor and marginalized to the  edge. Any effort to increase the presence of DBA members is taken over by these new elites. This is a new threat to the challenge of removing caste. Moreover, too many caste benefits affect merit, efficiency, and national unity.

On one hand, universities are places of knowledge and learning. Also, they are tools of social change. Caste benefits and provisions deny equality and social inclusion. It is not a political obligation but a moral duty to bring in casteless and secular rules. One important fact to remember is that the theory of atrocities against DBA people is fake, similar to the Aryan invasion theory.

Dark-World

 

1.

Smog paints the sky, leaving it covered with sores,
Cities and towns suffer, rivers and ponds cough.
The world breathes in the pain, in smog that's bad,
When will people awaken, amazed by green?
Should I pull it out, add something great, or let it run wild?
Leaves quietly weep, trees stand dry and pale,
Health moves like the ocean's waves.
Livelihood and the future fade, in a thick, hazy cloud—
Is there any way to end the Earth's dark time?

2.

Slow hands that throw litter, tired little feet,
Bring a lot of pain to our city,
Their breath echoes, their eyes look lifeless,
Brighten the sky and make everyone feel right.
Children are the future of every country,
They are the most important gift,
A treasure to enjoy, a joy to feel.
They bring love, happiness, and fun,
Clearing their hearts and minds of haze and smog.

3.

Motorists drive slowly near the smoggy city or the kiker tree,
Grass-seekers walk through the banks of the Black river or
Through the drains near the Yamuna, or through those of the barren Aravilis,
Lights shine in the mist that hangs over the Akshardham Temple or
The Red Fort,
Students walk the city streets in their woolen clothes,
Stephanian, IITian, JNU students, LSRians, Presidencians;
The hostels on the campuses are smoggy or up in the bush, or
With lovers hiding behind the bushes,
Unaware of the dark smog, flying low and high,
In the city, all are affected by this black haze.

4.

At home on the hills of Aravalis or in the woods of Faridabad, or the
Yamuna farm,
Comrades of JNU, namazis of Jama-Masjid, (taking over public spaces),
Workers of railways and union leaders, workers of all kinds who shake hands, and enjoy drink, meat and gambling,
Comrades of Raiseena Hills, comrades of Ashoka Road, (loving their  power),
A teacher, farmer, clerk, mechanic, artist, constable, student, leaders,
Lawyer, judge, prisoner, priest, physician, scantily-clad women, street wanderers,
All waiting for the light from heaven to fall, a bright light,
All teaching us endurance, brotherhood and care,
And pretending to show us the meaning of life, in the darkness.

5.

However, darkness is unstoppable, the cycle of life can't be cleared by dark smog,
So let's live and fight it with care and bravery,
And give it a proper response from the people around,
For people are the future and the present too,
A blessing to the nation, a gift to society,
The strength of the stars, a bright lie,
A country of free-loaders, where hard work takes flight,
Leaders promise everything, on screen and in rallies,
But behind the scenes, the real story is of smog and haze.

Create a Greater Israel

 Israel is fighting a Holy War. Entire world should support Israel and IDF in this pilgrimage. The victory of Israel over Hamas will make the world, a better world, a peaceful world, a secular world and a safer world. All should support and join Israel in this Holy War. Hamas, Hezbollah and Houtis are axis of evil. It should be eradicated. Israel is the only secular, democratic, modern, progressive, enlightened, multicultural, inclusive, non-violent, peaceful, and civilized nation. Gaza Strip, West Bank, Sinai Desert and Golam Heights should be merged with Israel permanently and a Greater Israel should be created. All the Palestinians should be settled in Muslim countries and save the lives of the Palestinians. In the beginning sick people, old people, children, women and their family members could be shifted. Life is very precious. Save lives. Muslim countries should take these Palestinians with open arms and heart. There will be prosperity in Islamic countries. They should come forward to restore peace in the region. Only, Jews and non-Muslims should live in Israel. Israel should allow immigration from India to make. There will be peace and prosperity in Israel and the region.

Caste-Based and Hereditary Priesthood in Hinduism

 The caste based system of priesthood in Hinduism is very ancient. That day will be very unfortunate for the Hindus and Hinduism if the caste-based hereditary system of priesthood is abolished. The day the hereditary and traditional, caste-based priesthood system of Hindus ceases to survive will be the beginning of the destruction of Hinduism. Regardless of all the attacks, opposition, and criticism, Hindus must preserve and protect this great system. It is all the more important in the light of some self-styled leading figures and organisations within and outside who are almost reformist extremists these days in the name of social justice and inclusiveness.

Secularists, socialists, communists, missionaries, Dravidians, and Ambedkarites, etc, always criticize this system for grabbing a higher position within Hinduism. However, they justify their rights to freebies, quotas, and special laws in the name of social justice, inclusiveness, and protection. They always speak very ill about the priests. Priests are undeterred  by the criticism. They keep working honestly and piously in the temple system, religious rituals, and spiritual systems.

Every religion has a proper caste system; the nomenclature may be different. Similarly, every religion has some core castes with a core nature. If that system is lost, nothing remains. Religion will be lost, identity will be finished. Many castes have hereditary specialization in some skill or profession. The hereditary, or largely caste-based, priesthood system is part of the core of Hinduism. Islam and Christianity also borrowed the same system of priesthood from Hinduism.

It is the duty of the priests to preserve the fundamental foundation of religion, the foundation stone, in the classical and Vedic form. Some will call it a casteist system. Listen to all, but don't believe it, not even by mistake. Priests must be protected; only then can Hinduism be protected. It should be viewed like a plant that needs regular water and care. Otherwise, the plant withers, so as the religion.

Muslim invaders attacked the temples and killed the Brahmins and their families to conquer Hindustan and finish the Hindus and Hinduism. Somnath Temple was attacked seventeen times by Muslim invaders, and all the priests and their families were wiped out. But they failed to kill the idea and spirit. The priests again revived the temple and the religion. The same is the story about Kashi, Ayodhya, Mathura, Malabar region (modern-day Kerala), Melukote (Modern-day Karnataka) etc, temples.  

Religions that lack the proper system of priests perish. Every religion has its own system. Islam and Christianity have the strongest priest system, so they are the strongest and wealthiest religion.

For Islam, it's like a military system; for Christianity, it's a power system; for Buddhism, it's knowledge and seniority-based; for Hindus, it's hereditary and knowledge-based. All have different systems. One system won't work for the other.  Hindus are accustomed to a Brahmin-hereditary priest system. This has been going on for centuries. It is in their nature and character.

Famous journalist, activist, and atheist Dilip Mandal supported this system relied on years of study and experience. Baba Saheb Ambedkar was initially a harsh critic of Hinduism's Brahmin-caste-based priestly system. In "Annihilation of Caste," he writes in detail about abolishing this hereditary priesthood system, opening it to all castes, conducting entrance examinations of the priesthood, granting priests a government certificate or degree, similar to that of Charted Accountant.

He took twenty years to understand this hereditary system. After growing older, mature and experiencing many experiences, in one of his final and famous works, "Revolution and Counter-Revolution," he supports and argues that the hereditary priesthood system protected Hinduism from Muslim attacks. Its absence led to the decline of Buddhism in India. Buddhism could not resist the onslaught of Islam.

Here, Baba Saheb views the hereditary priesthood system not as a problem for Hindus, but as a boon like a long-term insurance scheme. Unfortunately, his later works are less popular and less well-read.

These harmless and dedicated Hindu priests are the primary target of every attacker and opponent of Hinduism and  Bharat. The Somnath temple was attacked by Islamic invaders seventeen times. However, with the help of the kings and the Hindus, they constructed the temple every time. Priests and the temples were the first targets of attackers. Temples were destroyed, and the thousands of Brahmin priests were killed every time. But this could not deter their determination and devotion. Kashi, Mathura, Ayodhya, Delhi, Mysore, and many other places in the country have the same history of attacks and destructions.  

Temples were big centers of Dharma, culture, tradition, art, education, dance, music, knowledge, trade and commerce, wealth, etc, due to the dedication and hard work of hereditary priests who were custodian of all this treasure and contribute to the economy of the nation and the society.  

 In Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, temples were attacked first, and priests and their families were persecuted brutally. As a result of this, Hindus and Hinduism were wiped out of these countries. The same thing happened in Kashmir, and the result was the same. In Punjab, Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, the system of hereditary priests were either very weak or vanished. This resulted in the presence of a very powerful conversion mafia in these states. For every opponent of Hinduism, that poor priest in his worn-out dhoti is the biggest and ultimate enemy. There, they target him first to eliminate Hindus.

These priests, on a meager income, often go kilometers on foot or a broken bicycle to a deserted temple in some deep and dense forest, worshiping the deity, lights the lamp, rings a bell loudly, and chanting the holy prayers even if there is not a single person there to hear him. He is a true protector of your religion and culture.  

The stardom and aura farming

 Bihar elections are going on. All parties and people are in the contest. Many film actors are also involved in politics. Film actors are often given tickets to attend contests or are called to election meetings and rallies to attract a crowd. There are many misconceptions about their popularity, influence, and public image. As Bihar is ready for election, the actors, especially Bhojpuri folk singers and actors, face, attractive songs that pull crowd and swing votes. Both NDA and Mahagathbandhan are using actors and music to electrify their campaign.

Actor Manoj Tiwari, singer-actor Pawan Singh, former Lok Sabha MP from Azamgarh Dines Lal Yadav 'Nirahua', BJP's Gorakhpur MP and actor Ravi Kishan, and Neha Sharma are trying to add star power with crowd-pulling songs. For Mahagathbandhan Khesri Lal Yadav, while Maithili Thakur, BJP's nominee from Alinagar, joins NDA's musical campaign.

Actors have a significant fan following, mainly on social media, resulting in built-in recognition and large crowds at rallies. However, this visibility does not guarantee votes. While some voters may be influenced by their fame, many other factors shape voting decisions. The main issue is whether an actor's popularity meaningfully translates to political influence.

Actors often have mass appeal across different sections of society. Political parties use their broad recognition to appeal to diverse voters. The main question remains: does their fame truly convert to political support, or does it just attract attention to campaigns?

Some people might view actors' contributions as limited to entertainment only, some are inspired by their philanthropic work, social causes, awareness campaign impact on society, and voters. Actors often raise awareness about important issues like health, education, and environmental conservation. Actors can inspire their fans through their performance, interviews, and public appearance, promoting values like empathy, kindness, and perseverance.

But sometimes, this popularity and the crowd-pulling capability result in tragedies. In India, it has happened many a time. A few months back a huge crowd was gathered during a political campain by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president and actor C. Joseph Vijay in Karur on September 27, resulting in a tragic stampede that led to the loss of 41 lives. Irony is that the TVK leaders fled from the scene and "abandoned" the innocent fans at the mercy of God, who had thronged the venue at Velusamypuram in Karur just to take a glimpse of Mr.Vijay. It was a manmade disaster. TVK leadership and actor Joseph Vijay had not even expressed any remorse for their fans, even after the huge tragedy of this magnitude.

In January 2017, Shah Rukh Khan and the 'Raees' production team travelled from Mumbai to Delhi by train as part of the film's promotion. At the Vadodara railway station, a huge crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor. It caused a stampede, in which many fans were injured, and one person died. However, no action was taken against Shah Rukh khan and he did't announce any help to the dead or injured fans.

There was also a tragic stampede in the promotional event in 'Sandhya Theatre of a film "Pushpa-2: The Rule" of Telugu superstar Allu Arjun.  It claimed the life of 35-year-old Revathi and left her 9-year-old son, Sri Tej, critically injured. In the aftermath of the stampede, police registered a case against Allu Arjun under Section 105 ( culpable homicide not amounting to murder ) and 118 (1) ( punishment for causing hurt ) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. There was huge nationwide outrage.

Unlike Joseph Vijay and Shah Rukh Khan, Allu Arjun released a three-minute video expressing his deep regret over the death. offering condolences to the family of Revathi, he announced a donation of Rs 25 lakh, and assured to bear all the medical expenses of her son. Protestors vandalized Arjun's house, burning his effigy. However, Allu Arjun was arrested and Arjun spent time in Chanchalguda jail, reported slept on the floor.

Now, this is very clear that politics is a big attraction to the film fraternity. However, most of them fail and only a few succeed. M.G.Ramachandran, popularly known as MGR, J.Jayalaitha, and N.T.Rama Rao are few names who succeeded in politics.

However, their popularity is just like carefully crafted marketing tactics. It makes people believe that they are larger than well. Let's not be fooled by their fake glamour and glitz. We must see the actor with cuts and flaws.

 

Salvaging a botched socialism and affirmative action

  There is a silent flutter in the power corridors among socialists and left-wingers to return to power through social justice and affirmative action. Yogendra Yadav has openly expressed this to renew the legacy of socialism. He asserts its so-called ethical scope is vanishing when it is required the most, to resist dictatorship, inequality, and injustice. However, in practice, socialists are most dictatorial and always use caste and communalism to capture power. Socialists in India have taken very caustic caste and Islam-based identity politics, a freebie economy, and a culture of accusations for others for failures and mockery of merit and competence. It survives in the electoral manifestos of all the political parties in the form of freebies, free-loading benefits, subsidies, caste and communal quotas. In academic discussions, poverty, backwardness, and grievances are often glorified.

           Socialist systems have been rightly criticized for promoting inefficiency. Socialist economies always experience shortage and slower economic growth or no growth. Removing the incentive to excellence reduces motivation and government control over produces and systems restrain free competition and advancement.  

           Socialists are trying to revive socialism through the caste census. They will use it for political gains from socio-cultural cleavages. Caste census is against the principle of social harmony and social equality. The caste census will be used for electoral fortunes by socialist groups.  

           The terminology of social justice was just limited to caste and communal quotas as an eternal medicine for all the ills. The Mandal enlistment divided the society and persecution of the upper castes. Instead of rising above divisions, socialism sharpened them, milking the politics of caste and religion. They also created state-level caste and Islamic lords controlled by family dynasties.

           Socialists control the political and economic power within the government, leading to authoritarianism which suppresses the liberties, dissent and equality, and human rights. Socialists created state-level authoritarian regimes devoid of moral democratic traditions. Loan waivers, freebies, cheap or free electricity, subsidies, free ration, the inspector and permit system were claimed as ethical practices. Such politics created intermediaries, battered financial responsibilities, and made citizens depended on the government and the industrialists. They propagate to distribute the wealth without creation.

           The claim of socialists to empower backward castes is completely hollow. They only empowered some powerful castes and rich families. They blocked the real empowerment but made caste and minorities as eternal capital. They loudly claimed the workers' rights but empowered trade unions like Khap Panchayats or Sharia Courts. This resulted in the shutdown of many industries. Socialists frowned at investments, reforms, and entrepreneurship. Our workers were never were competitive and hard working because of the socialist politics of protection.

           The Indian socialists claim that they did not follow foreign thinkers. They follow a home-grown philosophy, especially through Ram Manohar Lohia. His economics and politics are caste and religion-based radical affirmative action. Indigenous socialism encouraged agitation, hatred for businessmen and industrialists. This capitulated to neither equality nor growth.  

           The actual development and empowerment ushered by the liberalization of 1991, growth of the IT sector, expansion of digital governance, not of socialist philosophy. Poverty and inequality declined, and gender empowerment was achieved through growth, infrastructure, and technology, and not through agitations or affirmative actions. When a nation embraced reforms, it moved forward; when it followed socialism, it declined.

           Going back to socialism means going back a century. It will revive scarcity, caste and communal division, and extremism. Universities have to stop glorifying poverty, backwardness, freebies, rights, extremism, caste, and religion-based affirmative action.

           Going back to failed ideology will be suicidal. Democracy should be built on growth, innovation, and patriotism. True empowerment will come from growth, skills, competence, creativity, and research. Caste and communal affirmative action must be abandoned.

Revolution

They criticised gods but create and worship human gods on every street and corner;

Mocked idol and statue adoration, but vulgarised every street and corner with busts and statues;

They sing the love and divine couplets, but use language for hate and divisive vibes.  

It is the depraved who are much higher than the virtuous; all pay respect to them.

The sentries have abandoned the posts and joined the traitors.  

The encroachers stand strong around the greens, and the squatters pelt stones at the law enforcers.

 

They cry for heat and warming, but exploit and encroach on the rivers like demons.

They worship the earth but destroy the earth by dirt, filth and trash;

They worship trees and forests but burn them for their freebies and comfort.

Seasons hunt each other like the tiller ploughs and move silently.

Mower mows, and the winter snow falls on the trees and mountains. 

Or people are flowing by the hamlet, vast and ruined.  

 

The lump and collapsed architecture, more than all the panting cities of the earth;

They preach the brotherhood, but behead humans for violent faith.

They claim to be peaceful, but behead the skeptics and thinkers;  

They preach compassion to animals but decorate the plate with non-vegetarian food. 

Like a killer fisherman off on a frozen lake, a killer waits by the hole in the frozen surface;

I am not the poet of righteousness, barely;  I can't refuse to be the poet of sin, too.

 

They condemned racism but reserved benefits and rights for races.

They advocate an inclusive society but worship language chauvinism. 

They pretend to be a casteless society, but go for a caste census.

They manifest social justice but widen the social injustice.

They lecture on inclusive education but categorise the learners on a caste basis.

They preach morals, but harlots, freeloaders, crooks are their comrades.     

 

They created feminists but exposed women in the streets, shows and art galleries;

They preach to sacrifice materialism, but manipulate donations and grants.

They lecture about socialism but embrace capitalism and luxuries:

They preach secularism but enact the toxic and communal laws;

They preach equality but milk the divisive and unequal laws and favours.

They promise an inclusive society but follow Arabian laws and practices.

 

These are the lines of a shy hand, this the propose and whiff of heart,

This is the stroke of my hands to your mind, this is the whisper of pain,

This is the deep inside and urge flickering  in my own eyes,

This is the unselfish fuse of my self, and the vent to the world,

The bliss of paradise is with man, and the agony of hell  is with man,

What a world nonetheless? Who am I? Who are you?

Secular-liberal lingo

To make language more effective, reasonable and minimize the influence of political ideologies, citizens should act as a bridge for the new learners seeking more clarity and unbiased information.  The education system of India has been in the grip of the four ‘Ms’. They are Marx, Macaulay, Missionaries, and Maulanas since independence. Ironically, the first Education Minister of India was a Maulana - Late Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. The real intrusion is secular and inclusive education. As for Karl Marx, he has been esteemed holier - than - thou. All these ideologies are viewed with skepticism, even in the soil where they were born and nurtured. So, should we still chase the old global ayat ‘Left is Right’?

There are stark similarities between Marx and two major faiths. Yes, if you have read about the mass and brutal killings in Russia, China, etc, inspired by Karl Marx, in the last century. Or if you have scanned the ‘Rise, Crush, Capture, Repeat contradiction of the British Empire and subsequent conversion mafia run and controlled by missionaries. Same is true to Islamic nations.

Aren’t these four ‘Ms’ ultra viruses the secular and inclusive constitution? We should be buoyant that blood thirsty and oppressive tyrants are no more.

However, mine is a sad person about our urban and English lexicography because all three collectively created use morphology that are demeaning the Sanatan Dharma. We are squarely ill-qualified, ‘Gober Ganesh’. Which is why I keep brooding  ‘four ‘Ms’ on every tongue’,  witch hunts of secularism and freedom of expression.  Or the ‘better racist than saffron Gorakh dhandha’ mantra to boast Liberal Prime, the artificial colossus magnum opus that in the Fallout liberal-tolerance Holi-reveler train is run by a secular and inclusive missionary education system, branded like a US army cluster bomb against Islamic terrorists but using against much-abused Brahminism.

Baap re baap, even they made black-sheep like me scared of the Holi-gangism.  

Because an ugly secular-liberal-tolerant ‘Ponga-pundits’ still be mooching in a sweating prayer hall.

Because my cell phone would disclose multiple WhatsApp messages forwarded to me, unaware that they would be post-mortem to unearth the creator's 'black-deeds'.

Because my mind stores many racist references to ‘Mamu Ho?’ He’d tricked many in my Meerut University years when secular-liberal-modern students puffing hukka and chanting ‘Bum bum Bholey’ or ‘Bholey ka prasad’ and eulogising ‘Lord Shiva and Bhairo Baba’ as ‘Nashedi’.  

Well, not a hukka-bidi-jhola-wielding wild beard donning Holi-reveler, but every learner worth their piles should be a left-liberal ‘civil society activist.’

Alas, alas, right has all through the past and until the present been dispensed a bad deal. From Kansa to Ravana , ‘sinister’ primitively meant ‘right’; in the progressive lexicography, that’s the only idea or side where demons reside. You must march your ‘left foot first’, else you get ‘right behind’ otherwise ‘Ram teri Ganga maili’ .

But, hey, this democratic march is essential, else your king will be ‘Gunaho ka dewata’ and  his council will be of ‘dhongi pundits.’

Nations march as ‘Left first and right later’ lest you will be ‘kanjoos bania or cruel thakur.’ So should the world hail free and left-liberal thought.

“Free lexicography needs to be freed from liberal-fringe-wings.”

 

 

Floods - Self-inflicted disaster

India is highly vulnerable to floods due to the wrongdoings of the government and its citizens. India has been grappling with severe and relentless floods. It has been worsened by inadequate infrastructure and the disastrous conduct of  government machinery and society.    

Floods in India kill more than one thousand people every year, and millions are rendered homeless following devastating floods that have hit India. Almost all the states are hit by affected by floods. Jammu, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Delhi, Mumbai, Tamilnadu, Utter Pradesh, Assam, Bihar etc are worst hit and affected.  

The frequency and intensity of floods are increasing due to the wrong policies of the governments and the misdeeds of society. Incompetent and corrupt administration, inadequate infrastructure, such as clogged drains, slit in the rivers and dams, narrowing and shallow rivers, encroachments and unauthorized construction on river banks, riverbeds, water catchment areas, wet lands, water bodies, forest, etc, contribute significantly to the problem. Floods' woes are largely caused by pathetic and nonperforming administration.  

Untimely and untimely opening of the dam gates also causes severe flooding.  For example, everyone's attention has now turned to a wrong decision by the government of Punjab that exposes its ignorance and wrong decision. Experts from the Bhakdha Nangla Dam Management Board (BBMB) advise releasing water from the dam in April 2025 to reduce the risk of flooding. However, the Punjab government opposed this, insisting that the water should be used only for Punjab and not for Haryana, Delhi, or Rajasthan. In fact, one minister threatened to take over the administration and security of the dam. Now, with Punjab inundated due to excessive rain, it has become clear how wrong and arrogant the government's decision was.

On one hand, it talks about the needs and welfare of the farmers and people of Punjab; on the other ignored the expert (BBMB) advise and invited disaster to its own people and state. The government, caught in political rivalry and electoral benefits, refused to share water with other states. As a result, when heavy rains came, an excessive amount of water was suddenly released from the dam, flooding entire Punjab.

The same technical mistake and political arrogance are reflected in its refusal to complete the Sutlej-Yamuna link canal. The mindset of the governments reflects their lack of foresight, isolation, and imprudence. The expert panel, which included technical and scientific professionals, the judiciary, and the central government, had advised to complete the project at the earliest to minimise the risk of floods in the state but the government of Punjab rejected this for narrow and short-term political gains over long-term safety. The greatest loss from these wrong decisions is being borne by the common people of Punjab.

The government of India has proposed interlinking 67 rivers to prevent floods and droughts, but none has been completed. Despite the repeated disasters in the forms of floods, landslides, cloudbursts, and melting of glaciers, the attitude and conduct of the people are not changing. The governments should construct dams and check dams to collect the rainwater and control the floods.

The rain water harvesting is another low-cost and effective method to control floods. Rainwater harvesting systems should be constructed in every building, school, college, university, madrassa, factory, hospital, temple, mosque, church, gurudwara, dargah, graveyard, hotels, government office, park, mall, housing societiy, bus stand, railway station, airport, etc.

Encroachments in various forms is also a big reason for flooding the country. So, all the encroachments on the riverbeds, river banks, river and ponds catchment areas, water bodies, wetlands, forests, and green lands should be removed to increase the width or breadth of the rivers. Rivers, dams, and ponds should be regularly cleaned and de-silted to increase the depth of the rivers.

Dense forests of native or desi trees should be developed to prevent landslides, cloudbursts, and lightning deaths. Native and desi trees should be planted on both sides of roads, rivers, dams, and hills. This will again prevent landslides, lightning deaths, and cloudbursts.

Every year huge amount is spent on the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the affected people. This is high time that the central and state  governments and the people of the country should think seriously about preventing flood disasters and save lives and damage to the national wealth.  

India’s flood disasters are the result of human actions and policy failures, not just natural causes. The Punjab dam management controversy and the uncompleted river-linking projects—to show how short-term political interests and administrative shortcomings directly worsen the problem.

 

 

 

Campuses Now ...

 Vacant classrooms, vacant libraries;

In the cafeteria, move students unhurriedly,

The gang of knotty learners repeated the art of rogue in the  fold,

The students loiter on the campus, exercise freedom and human rights,

Oblivious of the authorities hang around the corridor brandish their gadgets.

 

The sweeper is sweeping the floor, the kitchen boy is steaming the black tea,

All are doing their work assigned, the bearded students congregates nearby,

In July, students experience a sense of unfamiliarity and disruption.

The rogue comrade laughs, bitter-sweet, the calculated hush,

None dares to break, with whispered gestures and a mischievous look.

 

The curriculum bows to their own fancy,  and a fluttering law book;

They play with statutes and regulations, sans the honesty of a learner;

With divisive and freedom cries, a dangerous signal,

A greenhorn launch yet to try out heaps of campus,

A thoughtful teacher is dismissed as having lost purpose.

 

Where aspirations blur, and the future is unfamiliar;  

All students want to break the ancestors ' boundaries.

Some are escapists, some are lost, some grab the booty;

Many spirits blossom on a dissimilar hunt;

Disruptive, liberated, confused, and dissenting students from the group's peak.

 

Their hilarity reverberates in the hollow space,

A testament of their failed squeeze,

The learners rogue, a name to be celebrated,

Their disruptive strength of mind and action has been proliferated,

Knowledge is a drop; brag more than one and all, and pass it on.
