India of My dreams: Is the dream real ?

                                         In the country where in school this kind of essays are being told to write in the books, the other is making a sluggish offer on the minds of the students. "India of my dreams" what a good topic, just till the theoretical limit, ofcource but not in practical. There are many reasons for noe to right on such a topic. I shall not be referring to the what India must be but to What India actually is.
                                          2010: The year of scams and scandals in India. Corruption, bribe, health, population, UN are some of the major challenges before the Indian economy. Commonwealth Scam, Aadarsh housing scam, 2G spectrum.....whoosh.... if these money would have been used for the development surely little bit progress would have been achieved by is, but no effect by it. 64 years have passes for the Independence of the country but still it is backward in its thought and actions and still more important- Law. In the latest news to tell of is the Cairo Revolution. Those Indians that have been affected by it were very much safely brought by the Air India in our country. But in its background what happened is that Air India charged double than the original rate where other countries offered a free transportation to their citizens. Can you now see that when our citizen is in danger how India treats it- playing profit and loss at such situations.
                                         The 2G Spectrum have cost the Govt. a total sum of 1.76 Crores, if we makes total sum of all the scams in the past history of India, still this amount outnumbers it ! After 3 months of just 'investigation' in the words what CBI says it, first FIR has been filed now in February. This shows how much slow the investigation is going on our soil. Speaking of the Aadarsh probe, FIR has been filed to no effect coming out of it. The case takes so much of the time pending in the court that the verdicts die of the old age still the case remains pending. I think this will only happen in these cases. It is seen that whenever there is a pressure of the media from outside then only the courts act. Why does this happen ? It means that common man has no justice in India: justice is run only by those who have manpower and money-power. Whenever there is a disagreement over a issue in the youths now-a-days, study shows that they resort to violence in 90 out of 100 cases.
                                          India is on the rank of 87 in the countries that are least corrupted, the rank of India has slipped by 3 from what it was in 2006. I dont say that there is no Anti-Corruption Bureau in India. But you will be surprised to know that ACB's alo for filing a case demand bribe, ha, corruption in Anti-corruption. Some cases were reported in UP that when there a fire accident, the fire fighters always came on time but for extinguishing the fire they demanded the bribe of Rs.5000/-. Now what you will do if your house is on fire ? You will surely have to pay the bribe to get your work done.
                                          The main thing for which our freedom fighters fought was to leave in harmony without any differences in the cast, creed, race, social inequality. But after looking at the communal riots that are shooking the country not only endangers our brotherhood but it may some day lead to the division of India (May that day never come till the end of the universe). None of the politicians except a few handful, appropriately to say- that can be counted on fingers, have love towards the nation. They just loot the people, that too their own countrymen.....what a shame ! We also write in the essay that we will voluntarily help cleaning India not only of the dirt but also of the dirty people. But in practical where does that saying goes.
                                         Well, we write everything to get the best out of others but think over it and try it in the practical life and see how Indians bow to you. In India there also a very much influence of the religious practices that are inhuman almost. Inspite of the Indian Renaissance, I am forced to say that India still requires one more renaissance. These ill-human practices have often cost the lives of small children, but still the communities never realize what they should have before ! Also people in the backward region goes to the religious courts instead of the legal ones and whatever inhuman punishment like beating 100 lashes or so is given, it's willingly accepted by the people.
                                        Alas ! Fie upon the fate that none except a handful want to change completely this country, not only in its progress but also in its outlook. So India of My Dreams: Is the Dream Real, you all would have got its answer now that the dreams is unreal untill and unless the youth and the people are rady to change, till they accept the moden outlook and till they dont realize the importance of the oath take everyday at school- India is my country. All Indians are my brothers and sisters........ So I urge you the reader to give your voluntary self-service for uplifting our great motherland and making it in it's true sense sujalam and sufalam. "Together we can make a difference." Jai Hind !

Does religion hampers progress ?

(NB: I know that religious sentiments are deep rooted in the readers. This blog is not meant for harming any of these. But to convey the message that how religion and progress are interlinked. But still for any griviences, please post a comment to that effect.)

                                          Looking at way the public follow religion is fun, but till it do not come into the progress of the nation. Many of the Indian religion are highly cultural and enthusiastic. But during the celebration of certain festival or during certain period of time in the year, there is a great human loss at the work. Whenever there is a Dindi, thousand of people go on the pilgrimage on foot to visit the holy place of Pandharpur. But anybody knows the insight ? When these people halt at Pandharpur, they live in very much unhygienic conditions. They live on the banks of the river Chandrabhaga, defecation takes place there only and after that the same water goes of drinking purposes, maybe after some tests of purification. When these people go on the pilgrimage, they have to take leave from their jobs or any other services in which they are working in. This leaves the service or the engagement sector out of people at hands. Thus, there is a great loss of the human power and intelligence. Directly or indirectly it always affects the progress of the country, maybe on a small scale. I just want to convey what is the harm in having going by any means of transportation and live there in a hygienic place not polluting the environment and our self-health. The God is bountiful on us even if we pray from our heart. Then what is the purpose of such workings.
                                         Lokmanya Balgangadhar Tilak started the festival of Ganeshotsav for bringing about the unity of the people. Today the unity can be seen everywhere in the society for the purpose of the festival. But all of you mus have seen the 'TAMASHA' on the day of bringing Lord Ganesha and while talking him for drowning. The youths especially have an high-fidelity music system. There is lot of sound pollution in the environment. Youths drink and dance. Somewhere the seeds of backwardness are sown through such occassions. I dont say that dont celebrate it, but rather be the real contributor to it. Arrange some kinds of hospitality programmes and develop our society. Use such occassions to deliver some speeches of the great personalities. Calling big music systems, drinking and just without base dancing  and dancing is unethical, and simply a waste of money time and 'Human resources'.
                                          Every year in India, there are thousand of of yatras organized for various religious activities. Human loss and the nations loss in these cases is worth considering. You see now India is evolving, but only at the International level and not at the internal level. People have immense faith in God, but still our religious places are very much dirty and unhygenic. In one show on discovery channel I saw that people ate the 'prasad' od laddus that was been eaten by the rats. This cases play a very substancial role in the spread os epidemics mostly. I also saw on the television maybe on some news channel that a small boy was being kicked by a local group saying that this will remove all the bad-sights of the people that have affected him. What is this ? Where's our nation going due to this ? At one end India has started the UNSC non-permanent term and at the other end India is falling down and down, my think probably due to religion. More to tell that the Hindu religion has crores of Gods and Goddesses by worshiping them thruoghout the life a man gets exhausted. There so many festivals in the Hindu religion that their importance has no substancial meaning in the country as a whole. People just follow them for a name sake. Indeed a great wastage of time and human power.
                                          I am too a Hindu, but not a old thinking one, but a revolutionary. I am also proud of my religion, but just feeling proud do not keep me satisfied. I want to reform it, transform it and want to make it a religion most most worthy to be followed, dont you, the reader think that ? Since ancient ages people have only modified the religion to its present stage. We are also the people and have the equal right of modifying it, so we can and must modify our religion. I dont say that dont go on a pilgrimage or dont worship god, I just want to say that do everything in its full spirit. Hinduism can be made a very precious just dont waste time in it. An ideal religion is that which satisfies the all round development of person side by side giving him the peace of mind and attaining the God in him.

What Indian's Lack In...

                                        Now this is for the first time I'm having a post. So I may make some mistakes about it. This blog is mainly for spreading Civil Education in India. So my first post is about the manners about the Indian's. My posts title is "What Indian's Lack In...," is clearly emphasized for making a greater effect on the reader. 'Manners', a merely 7 alphabetical word is the lacking. What the British people refer to us is savage or uncivilized.
                                                                          (Our Locality)
The pic that you can see above is the specialized view of our locality. I am properly from Ahmednagar. First I used to think that Ahmednagar is the only place which is dirty in India. But after travelling to other places like Pune, Mumbai (very bad) and states like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, I realized that localities in India are very dirty. The major cause for such dirtiness I realized is the carelessness about the surroundings. People generally keep their homes clean and all the waste is thrown out of the house (probably in any open area nearby). The Britishers do not entertain Indian's much (except a few), as they believe that we will surely make THEIR country dirty. When I was on Thailand tour, the tour leader instructed us that this place is not like India to spit anywhere on. Speaking truth, all the people on our tour were laughing, but somewhere in my mind I felt ashamed. Whenever I talk with my friends that that our country is very very dirty, they reply that what to do ? we are bound to live such state. I think BOUND means what ? We are born here and its our moral duty to keep our motherland clean.
                                                       Slum in Dharavi (at Mumbai)

                                                           Now talking a bit about the people in India and their mentality, I want to tell the reader about the second side of the same coin --- The local governance. The local governance in India has become very much corrupted. They have no moral in uplifting the locals but they just want money money and money. In our Ahmednagar, there is a "virtual" Municipal corporation, for none of the councillor is such whose example can be taken. The politics in Ahmednagar has worsoned over the years. Very few dustbins and no cleanliness of present situation in our locality.
                                            Such an unattained people and bad governance has resulted in the hampering of manners promotion in our country and thats why my first topic was about ditiness in the locality. People entirely rely on the government to clean up the locality. My dear friends this is not possible. Old say that government should give dustbins to the locality and everything will be clean. I completely agree upon them. But yesterday only I saw a woman throwing garbage at the side of the dustbin though the fact that the dustbin was completely empty. What can you deduce from this ? India lacks something... manners, literacy and love for motherland. The last point may become controversial for some of you, but what I mean here is that we all love our country but prevent to develope it. So today, My Countrymen, lets take an oath to develop India heartily and solely. After each of your action see that my land doesn't become dirty. Why not to carry the plastics packets of wafers or anything else after eating from it in public ? Make a self-introspection. JAI HIND.
