Love Resolve

Take this encounter of love go on until we meet. 

Then be quiet and stop all the exposition.

Shed the fear of the shouting mob, motley or fat; 

Or boo or applaud on our open exhibition. 

Let our love be extended to our foes.

Let chats grow in its liking.

Let legends be sung with warped truth san woes.

Let paradise collapse on my head crushing. 

O, My Love! How long these hostilities rest.

Let my challengers’ rancour at lat. 

That they do not want me in your heart, 

Though, our love was kept from all, a secret.  

In the drapes of dark on starry nights, 

We shall greet in silence to enjoy our flights.

ENCOUNTERS: A NECESSARY KILLING

Now the Yogi Adityanath government in Utter Pradesh is under attack. The Secularists, communists, Islamists, NGOs, human right groups and activists, etc have been overly busy in attacking the Yogi government and they are worried about the lives and safety of criminals. The Yogi government is busy in wiping out the criminals in encounters. Instead of getting praise, the CM, government and police, all have been attacked and criticized by these elements.

Brothers and sisters of India, a very natural question comes to the mind, why police do the so-called encounters. The simple answer is that such outlaws failed not only the nation but also entire system. As they were not honouring the human rights of the citizens, then why the police are respectful of the human rights of a criminal. Brothers and Sisters of India, this is really very sad and tragic if the dead ones were innocent citizens but if the dead were terrorists or criminals than it was a good encounter necessary to safeguard the lives of the common man.

Yajnaarthaat karmano’nyatra loko’yam karmabandhanah;

Tadartham karma kaunteya muktasangah samaachara.

9. The world is bound by actions other than those performed for the sake of sacrifice; do

thou, therefore, O son of Kunti, perform the action for that sake (for sacrifice) alone, free from attachment!

(The SHRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA, Ch.III, Sl.9)

Our system is completely in shambles or failed. Honorable Supreme Court of India itself has admitted on so many occasions that Indian system is a haven for criminals and harassment for simple and innocent citizens. This is a reality and very sad reality. These criminals have failed the nation, failed the constitution and above all failed the justice system of the land so destined death through encounters real or fake.

Our system and our justice system failed to punish the likes of Dawood, Abu Salem, Chota Shakeel, Maulana Masood, Muktar and Afzal Ansari brothers, Atik Ahmed, Hassan Ali, Naxals, Jihadis etc., etc., and in the near future there is no early hope that such dreaded criminals and terrorists will be brought to the justice system. They have no respect for this nation, for the system of this country, for the constitution of this country, for the justice system of this country. So why should the nation or system care for such outlaws, terrorists and bandits?

Tasmaat twam indriyaanyaadau niyamya bharatarshabha;

Paapmaanam prajahi hyenam jnaana vijnaana naashanam.

41. Therefore, O best of the Bharatas (Arjuna), controlling the senses first, do thou kill this sinful thing (desire), the destroyer of knowledge and realisation!

(The SHRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA Ch.III, Sl.41)

Encounters specialist do a great service to the nation and people by eliminating dreaded criminals in encounters and they risk their own lives for the safety of the nation and people. All the time they and their family members are at risk, but even then, they serve the people, society and nation. In this manner, they have eliminated thousands of dreaded criminals in all over the country. In Gujarat, Maharashtra, J&K, Punjab, UP, and elsewhere brave patriots have eliminated thousands of criminals and people are much safer. If all those criminals would be living today, the nation would have been completely under the control of criminals. Instead of honouring such patriots and great servants of people this ungrateful nation is haunting them and harassing them.

In Gujarat alone, a number of brave and patriot police officers are rotting in jails for eliminating dreaded criminals. In this, nations due to vote bank politics criminals and anti-national are the national celebrity and brave and patriotic police personnel are treated as criminals. This is the irony of this nation. In Gujarat, a notorious terrorist Shorabuddin Sheikh was killed in an encounter. This Shorabuddin during his crime career killed more than fifty innocent people. Indian system and Indian judiciary completely failed to punish him. But when that dreaded criminal was killed by the police, then those brave and patriotic police officers, who killed him, are rotting in the jail. Now this notorious criminal is a national celebrity, thanks to the so-called secular vote bank politics.

Encounter specialists like Daya Nayak, Pradeep Sharma, Ravindra Angre, Vanjara, Mohan Lal Sharma, Rajveer Singh, K.P.S.Gill, Ajay Sharma, etc., are national assets. For their safety, Parliament must make some law.

This is high time, in the interest of nation a USA type Patriotic Act must be prepared, in which security personnel must be powered to kill the dreaded criminals, terrorists and illegal intruders without fear of being punished and prosecuted. When Pakistani invaders were brutally slaughtering Indians in Jammu and Kashmir in 1948, the apostle of non-violence and Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi exhorted the Indian Army to wipe out the invaders and slaughterers. The Gita also says a sinner must be killed.

Ajnashchaashraddhadhaanashcha samshayaatmaa vinashyati;

Naayam loko’sti na paro na sukham samshayaatmanah.

40. The ignorant, the faithless, the doubting self-proceeds to destruction; there is neither this world nor the other nor happiness for the doubting.

Tasmaad ajnaanasambhootam hritstham jnaanaasinaatmanah;

Cchittwainam samshayam yogam aatishthottishtha bhaarata.

42. Therefore, with the sword of knowledge (of the Self) cut asunder the doubt of the self-born of ignorance, residing in thy heart, and take refuge in Yoga; arise, O Arjuna!

( The SHRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA, Ch.IV, Sl. 40, 42.

Therefore, read the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, recite Here Krishna, and carry on with the encounter to make the nation safe and peaceful.

sarva-dharmän parityajya

FLORIDA SHOOTOUT & LOST SELF

Very recently, a manic student was on a shooting spree, killing seventeen students in the Florida school. On this shooting youth are highly agitated and ignited, against President Trump and GOP lawmakers on the payroll of the gun lobby.

In America and some other countries, children carry guns to school! In America, children carry guns, in Muslim countries, children carry bombs and RDX and India suicide and the accidental death rate are alarmingly high. Perhaps these children have never practiced true love and compassion. They have abused and ignored childhood.

 It is the first duty of parents to shower love and affection on their children. Teach them by example all that is good during their shaping years. Parents should not express anger and hatred in front of children. They should teach children patience and love.

Recent past has seen many such incidents where on minor provocation or without any reason or out of frustration people are been killed by such individuals. This madness is not confined to one or two nation but the entire world is a victim of such type of madness without any method. Now even minors are restoring to such type of mayhem. This cult of violence and suicides among students is comparatively a new phenomenon in India but it is a very serious and dangerous problem in the West.

A few years back, the peace of Virginia Technical University was shattered by the gunfire, resulting in the loss of thirty-three lives. It not only devastated the dreams of thirty-three families but the dreams of millions and billions of people worlds over. Today America has become a dream world, in addition, a destination for the people world over. Now America represents a brute kind of materialism.

 Materialism is the worst kind of disease, which has no cure. This bitter truth has forgotten in our pursuit of that deceptive dream, especially in America. This type of ugly materialism has converted every human being as an independent master of his free will. Nation, society, family or for that matter any life has no meaning for him. The only dream he nurtures is making big bucks without much effort and enjoying every right under the sun, without caring about anything. Even they have no hesitation in buying their happiness, at the cost of other's happiness. America has been flooded with material comforts but this success has made people heartless, soulless, and emotionless black machines, performing black magic.

Children need loving care, but at the same time, we should not forget to discipline them. Infuse in them the love for all creation. This is possible through good value education. A dosage of pure consciousness can help clear the impurities and restore the mind to its purity. Then we can love selflessly and live in service.

 Material progress has made the lives of Americans very comfortable and entire world mindlessly try to chase this type of Americanism. Now average American wants to enjoy all the pleasures of the world, similarly, he wants to enjoy all the rights of the world without caring the rights of others. This mentality has converted every human being as rightist Jihadi. This mindlessness has given birth to Cho-Senung Huism. (The Korean who killed teachers and fellow students). Now, this virus has reached America and Islamic nation.

 Now even every die-hard anti-American, jholawala communist or fanatic,    round capped Maulana or Ulema want to settle down in America to enjoy this magical world. Nobody sees or understands another world hidden behind the designer clothes of the designer world.  With all the success, people fail to see that  America is also top in divorce, single-parent families, unwed mothers, or children out of the wedding, rapes, suicides, murders (except terror-related countries) and of course these devastating shootouts. These are all signs of perversion.

 Today Americans think about consumerism, materialism, profit and of course about human rights. In every street of America, one can see an NGO, a Tom, Dickens and Harry right activists, all busy making fast and big bucks, misguide, and corrupt not only Americans but also the entire world. In this way, Americans become rootless and they live in a vacuum and die in a vacuum. They do not know the meaning of family, emotions, love, inner happiness and voice of the soul.  Everywhere they see divorced people, couples or single without children, children without parents, senior citizens living without family in old age homes. This loss of values results in emptiness within and emptiness outside, like a fish without water.

            This type of Americanism has created a greedy, heartless, emotionless, cruel demon, ready to gulp the entire world like a Jihadi monster. Korean, Cho Seung Hui was also a creation of this system, who butchered thirty-three innocent lives for no reason, including the counsellor, who himself was a toxic creation of this toxic society. In this case, the Korean Cho Seung Hui thought the girl as his personal possession like any other designer cloth for gratification. The right answer here would have been to throw the Korean behind the bar, felicitating him with third-degree treatment for beating the girlfriend. However, the overdose of the human right system brought a counsellor from some disgraced NGO, who was first to be botched for this mindless materialism and intoxication of rights.

         To confirm compassion to the suffering is our duty. Any spiritual search should begin with selfless service. If you sit in meditation and expect the third eye to open without opening your two eyes, can that happen? Be a witness and give of yourself without expectation. We cannot close our eyes to the world, call it spirituality and expect to become self-realized. To behold unity with open eyes as you look at the world, that is self-realization. For this, students practice yoga, meditation and read the Hindu scriptures like the Srimad Bhagavad Gita and the Ramayana to healing and distressing.

It was a complete loss of self and mad self-gratification. Unfortunately, Indians are now trying to adopt mindless American model resulting loss of inner peace. We are fast drifting away from rich values like the miraculous joint family system, spiritualism and rich Sanskars. Because of this entire nation is tormented by Gurugram like shootouts and increasing numbers of students' suicides. Nowadays youth compare themselves with the best in the world without knowing their worth. They should not see others achievements and find holes in others. Honor your strength only. If one sees similarities or weaknesses in others be gracious enough to accept and appreciate this. Cure thyself that you are the best and others are on the wrong side.

         Better, be conversant with the Srimad Bhagavad Gita and follow the life of a karma yogi and his selfless action to recognize the call of kindness, justice, and stress on self-work and enlightenment. Try to avoid division, arrogance and alienation. Do not follow any method of hate and bitterness.

 Therefore, without attachment, perform always the work that has to be done, for the man attains to the highest by doing work without attachment. (The Bhagwadgita, Ch.III, Sl. 19.)

If a work is performed without attachment is considered higher to the work done in a spirit of sacrifice but is higher than work performed with selfish motives. A man can attain happiness if he performs work without attachment.  The need of the day is while praying happiness, health and prosperity for yourself and family, you should also think about others who breathe the same air and have the blood of the same colour. One should be directed to acquire enlightenment, redefine desire and purge them of selfishness and learn to bear pain, cultivate love and kindness and shed hate, bitterness and jealousy and move in the right direction. To learn all this higher wisdom and prevent Virginia type of shootouts, Hindu system of education Gurukul, yoga, meditation, would be an asset in the right direction.

        He who works, having given up attachment, resigning his actions to God, is not touched by sin, even as a lotus leaf (is untouched) by water. (The Bhagavad-Gita, Ch. V, Sl.10.)   

      

   We should not renounce work but do them in the name of God that alone is immortal. When we renounce our attachment, ego, its likings, and disliking and do our work in the name of God this is the best position for a man. The modern-day youth and students should take lessons from The Ramayana and The Bhagavad-Gita to avoid Virginia like painful shootouts. The self who is very detached from the higher self, meaning the master of this universe, is bound to perish, says Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita.  Here I am reminded of the famous lines of Matthew Arnold –

Ah, love, let us be true

 To, one another!  For the world, which seems?

            To lie before us like a land of dreams,

            So various, so beautiful, so new,

            Hath really neither joy, nor live, nor light,

            Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain,

            And we are here as on darkling plain

            Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,

            Where ignorant armies clash by night,

                           (Matthew Arnold, in Dover Beach)

             

.     Religion is not restricted to the terminology of scriptures. Religion is a mode of life. Its beauty and charm are articulated in the love and compassion of those who live in harmony with its guidelines.

Autumn of Life

Listen to me, sit here with me;
Break my your calm,
As spring of my life retreats,
I am listening to the Eternal Silence.

Stammering my speech,
Each eruption a meaningless bang,
Colours frolicking my eyes,
Fading thoughts of past, troubling me.

Air I know to be dressed with gloom,
Promises are filled with helpless pain,                
To make a helpless place,
Like, buds of roses at the dying of summer.

A place of reverence an illusion,
In social backyards conveying ignominy
Long in abeyance withdrawn by undecided
Even bright sun and sky too, worried and cloudy.

Brothers identifying differences,
Toughen their sphere that diversity waters,
To augment their control their cosmic vast,
Prelacy futile save it will benefit them.

The quiet and voiced the lifeless and dazzling,
The frail and the sturdy, I am your autumn;
Come be seated here with me see my ensigns,
All the old and fresh, alien and native, axioms here. 

A concise cue that illustrates,
Why life is superior in range to any act of change;
My ecstasy to list of those disgruntled pledges,
Death does not lead to death.

But fading to snooze for a time of break,
A new life of manifestation to ponder quietly,
The guilty civics erroneously geared,
To loathing of change, I am autumn.

Come sit here with me to create a new world,
A new sketch of sounds to appear with,
Unsullied decent grow of wider sympathy,
Waked up in spring, leaving despair and grief behind.

Rot of Feminism

Swara Bhasker wrote her views on Padmaavat, movie that was published in a number of newspapers. 
 ‘At The End of Your Magnum Opus… I Felt Reduced to a Vagina – Only', On  27/01/2018, in The Wire, The Times of India and in some other newspapers, in which she has criticised Sanjay Leela Bhansali's epic movie, Padmaavat, for its portrayal of Jauhar (or mass self-immolation) in the film's climax.
In the film's highlight, Deepika Padukone's Padmaavati is publicized walking towards an intense fire, along with numerous women, one of them even pregnant. The action of the sight is such that it makes the act look like a ritual of course or the ‘gracious' thing to do when faced with the risk of rape, slavery, abuse.
Sati, also known as "Suttee," was a tradition that was practised in ancient India from the early centuries BCE to the mid-1990's. In this tradition, widows were burned at the side of their deceased husbands. There were many reasons behind this tragic form of suicide, but the act was seen as heroic and courageous. The tradition originates with the goddess Sati, who burned herself to death in a fire that she created through her yogic powers, which she obtained after her father had insulted her husband. Sati became an option for women in India who were not "marriageable," according to social norms. Sati was first recognized in the Mahabharata, one of the two most well-known and important poems of India.1 
(Kashgar, 2009, s.v. "Life in India: the practice of Sati or widow burning," by Linda Heaphy.)
"LAMP of my life, the lips of Death
Hath blown thee out with their sudden breath;
Naught shall revive thy vanished spark . . .
Love, must I dwell in the living dark?" -Suttee by Sarojini Naidu-2
 (The Denson Journal of Religion, April 2015, s.v. "Interpreting Sati: the Complex Relationship Between Gender and Power in India," by Cheyenne Cierpial.)
She, in her letter, told, "At the end of the movie, you felt reduced to a vagina." "Women have the right to live, despite being raped, sir. Women have the right to live, despite the death of their husbands, male 'protectors', 'owners', 'controllers of their sexuality'. Whatever you understand the men to be," she wrote
After eight centuries, she is trolling and abusing the helpless, young widows. She wrote, "Rajasthan in the 13th century with its cruel practices is merely the historical setting of the ballad you have adapted into the film Padmaavat. The context of your film is India in the 21st century; where five years ago, a girl was gang-raped brutally in the country's capital inside a moving bus."
Instead of condemning the brutal rapist, slaughterer and invader, Swara Bhasker is trolling and abusing the women; worried about, their honour and to safeguard themselves of the brutalities, inflicted by a savage. jauhar existed as a compulsive-accepted social norm at one point in time is one thing. But it was not a glorious practice. However, ignorant historians and commentators have wrongly glorified and romanticized it as an act of essential sacrifice. The real-sound writing and correct handling should have by not letting it to trap into a celebratory terrain."
Sati, a reprehensible custom was not a custom of Hindu society. It started due to the fear of Mughal invaders. To see a 200-crore film which completely failed to question and introspection behind this evil – and in the process, confusing the helplessness and repression of women with honour. Actually, it was a freedom from Islamic invaders brutality. Here, Swara Bhasker, as well as Bhansali both, failed miserably.
It is just like the glorification of self-immolation due to the Khilji terror."Jauhar was a dreadful practice and the belief of Islamic invaders that if they invade a Hindu woman's vagina, by their pen@is, the sole property of their existence, it will be their highest achievement. Scary Bhansali has chosen to glamourise Jauhar but could not dare to project the evil mind od invader Khilji."
‘At The End of Your Magnum Opus… I Felt Reduced to a Vagina – Only'-Swara Bhasker
In her letter to Padmaavat director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, little-known actress Swara Bhaskar decries glorification of Sati and Jauhar that deny women the right to live but could not dare to speak the real villain Alauddin Khilji.
In a very vulgar manner she has mocked woman's beauty ‘minus the gorgeous Deepika Padukone's uncovered slender waist',--- Even she is critical of her own nation's ‘tolerant' like a truly secular and communist bhakt. ‘ And in this ‘tolerant' India of today, where people are being murdered over meat, and school children are targets for avenging some archaic notion of male pride,---.' She could have also written few words about the lives of animals being slaughtered for a dish in somebody's plate, slaughtered soldiers by Jihadis in Kashmir, or the miserable lives of Kashmir Hindus in refugee camps in their own country.
Like a creeping quite communist journalist, she has very shrewdly flattered Bhansali, almost pleading for roles:  
"…By the way Sir, we know each other, after a fashion. I don't know if you remember, but I played a tiny role in your film Guzaarish. A two-scene -long role, to be precise.  I remember having a brief chat with you about my lines, and you asking me what I thought about the lines. I remember feeling proud for a whole month that Sanjay Leela Bhansali had asked me my opinion. I watched you agitatedly explaining to junior artists in one scene, and to the jimmy jib operator in the second scene; some minutiae of the particular shot you were taking. And I remember thinking to myself, "Wow! This man really cares about every little detail in his film." I was impressed with you Sir."
She further flatters;
"An avid watcher of your films, I marvelled at how you pushed boundaries with every film you made and how stars turned into fierce and deep performers under your able direction. You moulded my idea of what epic love must be like and I fantasised about the day I will be directed by you in a protagonist part. I was and remain a fan….."
She has mentioned ‘the Karni Sena terrorists and their ilk' but no courage to say the slaughtering and rapist clan of Alauddin Khilji as a terrorist and failed to say:
Women have the right to live; they are not made for being raped by criminals and slaughterers. 
Women are not only walking talking vaginas which are not made to serve the pen@is of slaughterers and butchers.
Yes, women have vaginas, but they have more to them as well. So their whole life need not be focused on to serve the pen@is of invaders.
Protecting and maintaining its purity is very important to them.
Rapist should not be glorified, as the Indian historians have been doing, glorifying invaders-slaughterers and rapist.
"You may be wondering why the hell I am going on and on thus about vaginas. Because Sir, that's what I felt like at the end of your magnum opus. I felt like a vagina for the brute. Alauddin Khilji. I felt reduced to a vagina–only to serve the brute Alauddin Khilji and his clan." - Swara Bhasker
Hindu men and system have great regard for women's respect and equality. They have supported and given so much to women – like the right to vote, the right to own property, the right to education, equal pay for equal work, maternity leave, childcare leave, the Vishakha judgement, the right to adopt children…… all of it was pointless to Mughal invaders because for the women are made to serve their filthy pen@is.
The film ignored and well as Swara Bhasker, the basic question — of the right to life. The film, felt to project as a brutal invader, slaughterer, rapist, homosexual demon, had brought us back to that question from the Dark Ages – do women – they have the right to live?
"Surely Sir, you agree that Sati and Jauhar are not practised to be glorified. Surely, you agree that notwithstanding whatever archaic idea of honour, sacrifice, purity propels women and men to participate in and condone such practices; that basically Sati and Jauhar, like the practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and Honour Killings, are steeped in deeply patriarchal, misogynist and problematic ideas.  A mentality that believes that the worth of women lies in their vaginas, that female lives are worthless if the women are no longer controlled by male owners or if their bodies have been ‘desecrated' by the touch of ; or even the gaze of a male who doesn't by social sanction ‘own' or ‘control' the female."
At times she is very right;
"Practices like Sati, Jauhar, FGM, Honour Killings should not be glorified because they don't merely deny women equality, they deny women personhood. They deny women humanity. They deny women the right to life. And that is wrong. One would have assumed that in 2018, this is not a point that even needs to be made; but apparently, it does. Surely, you wouldn't consider making a film glorifying FGM or Honour Killings!"
Sir, you will say to me that I am over-reacting and that I must see the film in its context. That it's a story about people in the 13th Century. And in the 13th century, that's what life was– polygamy was accepted,  Muslims were beasts who devoured meat and women alike. A Sati-Jauhar is an attempt to protect the chastity and honour. 
The real meaning of women empowerment is to make them well educated and leave them free so that they are capable to take their own decisions in any field.In all, we are in dire need to empower women so that they can be independent and not rely on men of our country to support them and take care of them. The women of our country should be strong broad-minded and mature in taking their own decisions.Decision making in national topics or any other topics of our society should also encourage participation of women.- (The Importance of Women Empowerment in India and How to Achieve It,  Google.)
She has very sarcastically and in a very caustic manner, commented on the concept of female honour, patriotism, and Rajput honour:
Sure Sir, but you followed that up with a two-hour-45-minute-long paean on Rajput honour, and the bravery of honourable Rajput women who chose happily to sacrifice their lives in raging flames, than to be touched by enemy men who were not their husbands but were incidentally Muslim.
According to for the phenomenon of the world becoming a .naked body', Jameson says that "…..our society begun to offer us the world—now mostly a collection of products of our own making—as just such a body, that you can possess visually, and collect the images of." (Fredric Jameson, Signatures of the Visibles, (New York, Routledge, 1992), p-1.)
She is also very critical and caustic about the Hindu concept of Satya, Asatya, Dharm and Adharma:
There were more than three instances of the ‘good' characters of your story speaking of Sati/Jauhar as the honourable choice, your female protagonist – epitome of both beauty, brains and virtue sought permission from her husband to commit Jauhar, because she could not even die without his permission; soon after she delivered a long speech about the war between Satya and Asatya, Dharm and Adharm and presented collective Sati to be the path of Truth and Dharm.
 Then in the climax, breathtakingly shot of course – hundreds of women bedecked in red like Goddess Durga as bride rushed into the Jauhar fire while a raving Muslim psychopathic villain loomed over them and a pulsating musical track – that had the power of an anthem; seduced the audience into being awestruck and admiring of this act. Sir, if this is not glorification and support of Sati and Jauhar, I really do not know what is.
The first reason is that very few movies are made about Muslim society in India in general. Look at the list of highest-grossing Bollywood films. Of the top 25 grossing films, only two (Dhoom 3 and My Name Is Khan) have the main star portraying Muslim characters. I bet that you can do a similar analysis with the list of Bollywood films of 2014 and find that barely 10% of all reasonable-budget films are made centred on the Muslim society (Muslims do get a lot of representation in Bollywood films as antagonists). The "Muslim social" has pretty much died. When only one in ten of films are made about Muslims, isn't it only fair that only one in ten of films criticising religion is about Islam? (http://www.sanskritimagazine.com/india/open-letter-bollywood/#, Google)
Like a true secularist, communist and feminist, she felt very uncomfortable, when the ‘monster like Khilji' failed to rape the queen Padmavati:
I felt very uncomfortable watching your climax, watching that pregnant woman and little girl walk into the fire. I felt my existence was illegitimate because God forbid anything untoward happened to me, I would do everything in my power to sneak out of that fiery pit– even if that meant being enslaved to a monster like Khilji forever. I felt in that moment that it was wrong of me to choose life over death. It was wrong to have the desire to live. This Sir is the power of cinema.Repeatedly, she has been trying to link this Sati system with Hindus and Hinduism but failed in her point. She did this only to come in limelight.
It is hard to fathom how slow moving the cultural exchange of the world is when you find out that there are several places across the country where harmful customs of the ancient world coexist with modern appliances and thought. However that may come as hardly any surprise to anyone who has lived in India – the dichotomy of society is something that can only be explained by a refrain from an old Bollywood song: "It happens only in India!" -(Women Empowerment in India – A Burning Issue, Google.)
