Great Indian Political Circus

The Left wing student union of Jawahar Lal Nehru University (JNU), decided to create a stir in the political atmosphere of Delhi and organized a program in which they commemorated Afzal Guru on his death anniversary and slammed the decision of Hon' Supreme Court of hanging him for his activities linked to terror attacks in India. The program was held in JNU and it is heard that a lot of pro Pakistan and Anti-India slogans were raised and Afzal Guru was made out to be a martyr.

After this show, (which was a slap in the face of our democracy and an open misuse of fundamental rights,) when the news of what transpired in this show and after the complaints registered by BJP's student wing ABVP and BJP leaders with Delhi police, the leader of this Super Patriotic and Nationalistic student union Mr. Kanahia Kumar was arrested on charges of Sedetion.

So this was just the news of what actually happened. Now we come to the comic relief from this very serious issue which would lighten the mood of all the nationalists and anti-nationalists. Mr. Rahul Gandhi, well respected leader  and Vice-President of Congress party visited JNU and in a show of solidarity towards Left wing students and teachers, compared the arrest of Kanahia Kumar to Hitler's Nazi Regime.

I would like to elaborate on the comedy here. The concept of making sense with his talks is lost on Mr. Gandhi, and it seems that either he was schooled at home or in some other country because otherwise even a three year old child studying in pre-nursery knows that the slogan that we raise in this country is ''Bharat Mata Ki Jai'' not ''Pakistan Zindabad.'' So it Mr. Gandhi's allegation is absolutely right and students rights are being curbed in this country, if he believed, which he can, that the campus of JNU is situated in Islamabad. And on top of that we have Mr. Arvind Kejriwal who thinks that the action on students is a conspiracy of BJP, ABVP and Delhi Police.

I would like to ask these self proclaimed nationalists, these student wings and their political masters, where were the slogans and how many meetings were conducted to commemorate and honor of the 10 brave soldiers who died in the line of duty in Siachen. Just because there is no media coverage for a soldier's death, as the news is not spicy enough, they are easily sidelined. Even these students have learnt fast the trick of the trade, ''only the issues with media coverage should be raised.'' Mr. Rahul Gandhi had no words for these martyrs in his speeches as there was no political mileage, (there are rumors that he and Mr. Kejriwal tried to put the blame of that Avalanche on BJP and Delhi Police.)

But more than the opposition political parties, who have cultivated this habit of blaming BJP government in the centre of intolerance and anti-poor, anti-youth and anti-everything and anything, even when they have an argument with their spouse at home, I am concerned about the youth of this country. The students on whom the aspirations of this nation are dependent, should be politically informed and active but they should not become political opportunists.

It is not an offense in this country to choose one's political affiliance, but a line has to be drawn between blindly following the agenda of your political party of opposing every action of the government, and taking the correct stance and standing up for the government and more importantly for the nation, when it comes to national security.

Even in this case, if the students were following the political agenda of the parent party, than they should be made aware of the facts related to Afzal Guru and his actions, but if they did it to promote their political future, which seems to be the case here, then they should be treated no differently than a terrorist. The days of defaming India in the name of Right to Speech are over, now all those who want to push India down to raise themselves should be thrown into prison.

I am not in anyway saying that citizens of this country cannot criticize the government or should not raise their voice against violence, corruption or crimes happening in India. But it should be backed by the evidence and must not be done only to malign the government and gaining publicity. And in this case, even President of India refused to accept mercy plea of Afzal Guru. Hence, there is no scope of doubt here that he was a terrorist. To commemorate him is to side with terrorists against India.

But of course, we have to keep Mr. Gandhi out of all this because a person who doesn't know what he is saying and is just repeating the speech written by his political advisors, which he crammed last night. And also Mr. Kejriwal is not to be blamed as well because even if his car doesn't start in one go, that's a conspiracy of BJP and Delhi Police.

People like these are considered as our political future and political option and they say India is intolerant. What can be bigger joke than this?

Self-Realization (The Secret of Happiness)

" Self-Realization is the first encounter with Reality ." A simple but true statement. We spend years on this earth, lost and burdened with a load of aspirations and dreams. But for there comes a time in everyone's life when the realization struck like lightning and the entire life turns upside down. We realize that we've been chasing the wrong goals throughout our lives. Most of us spend our entire lifetimes chasing wealth, power, and materialistic joys of life and believing that achieving those goals would fill our lives with happiness. Little do we know that if happiness could be bought every rich man would be happy and poor would not be sleeping at night. However, we all know that is not true. But for the lucky ones who get a taste of this self-realization, a chance of turning around their lives presents itself.   I happened to have a similar experience. I was sitting in a restaurant with some of my friends, when suddenly in the middle of the conversation it struc

Corona Virus - A Nation's Fight Against Itself - An Open Letter to the Prime Minister

Respected Prime Minister Sir, Through this letter of mine, I would first of all like to thank you for all the efforts the government is making to combat the threat of Corona Virus in our country. Since I was not born when India went to war in 1962, 1965 and 1971 and too young to understand the complexities of it during the Kargil war, this is my first hand experience of a war like situation in the country. However, I would like to state that when you appeared on television on March 19, 2020 to address the nation, I felt assured that the government of this nation is leaving no stones unturned to ward off this threat on the lives of all the citizens of India. In fact for the first time in my life, since I’ve been able to understand the political narrative of this country, I saw politics taking a back seat and all the state governments were working with the Union government to ensure that this vicious chain can be broken. However, your reappearance on the national television to

RAM: A God Or Just A Man

We often get to hear that India is a nation of Gods. According to some theories there are approximately 36 Crore Gods and Goddesses that reside in the soul of India. Every state, every city, every town, every village in India has their own God or Goddess. Most of these Gods are revered and worshipped because of one or multiple miraculous deeds that they performed when they appeared on earth. Krishna, Shiva, Durga, Vishnu, Hanuman, Kali, Ganesh, Lakshmi and even minor Gods like, Indra, Varun, Vayu have numerous miraculous acts associated with them. Now, whether these are just stories or real miracles or if there are some other clarifications which can be given for them, we will discuss at some other time. Today I want to explore and understand a God who is not associated with any miracle throughout his appearance on earth, he couldn't fly, couldn't shift shapes and on top of that even though he is considered to be an incarnation of all powerful Vishnu, he had to depend upon a
