A need to change Indian history.. help please..!.


 Every one of us doesn't know about all the prime-ministers of India till now, but more than 90% of us must be knowing about- J.L. Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, A.B. Vajpayee and Dr. ManMohan Singh. Each one of them has their name reserved to be spoken at a certain time.
·         A.B. Vajpayee can often be heard in conversation while driving on National highways- “Yaar! Atal ji ne ye kaam to mast kiya highways banwa kar, pehle jahan 6 hours lagte the ab wahan 2 hours.. upar se petrol ki bachat alag.. kaash ye nadi se nadi jodne wala kaam aur ho jata” or as a good politician, poet or an orator.
·         Dr. Singh has his own league. He covers the extremes of appreciation and criticism both. Some talks about his great job in globalization of India as Finance Minister and some talks about his mute reactions (“Theek Hai was broadcasted by mistake”).

Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi are different in a manner. Guess why? Because you speak of them more in the names of schemes, institutions, airports, awards etc. than their achievements or their character. Indira Gandhi proved herself as a strong leader. Rajiv Gandhi became prime-minister after his mother’s assassination. That’s all for the general knowledge.
 There must have been something great about both of them specially Rajiv Gandhi that you can find their names in almost every scheme launched today- from the village development schemes to the investment schemes. But the problem with people is that they will stake their last breath before appreciating someone truly. You start a conversation with Indira Gandhi’s name and next thing you will hear will be “Emergency” or “Operation Blue Star” or with Rajiv Gandhi you will soon know about Bofors scam or Sikh riots, 1984 or someone of good knowledge may tell you that about his failure in completing his degree from two different colleges. That’s the tragedy with present generation- we learn quickly about faults and failures. Not our fault actually, we have been told to learn from other’s mistakes.
  Still when one can write a book with just from the schemes named after them, there must be something amazingly extra-ordinary with them else in a country having a history of about 75,000 years we don’t have a scarcity of great personalities. More than 50% schemes are named after Nehru-Gandhi family. On summing up all the buildings, awards, schemes, projects etc. etc. you will get a figure around 450.
 What? You don’t believe me? Ahh! You people don’t believe anything without proof. Ok! Just click on these links and satisfy your “Can you prove it?” desire.



Now, I hope we are on the same page. A desire to know something even greater than the great kept me searching about them on different websites, but these miser people can’t even praise someone with open heart.  I do had choice between - Rajiv Gandhi is greatest in Indian history or –Indian politicians are biggest sycophants and they did it to please Sonia Gandhi (Rajiv Gandhi’s wife) or very weak in Indian history to know about some other great personalities. My choice was obvious- first one as all can’t be sycophants or weak in history but one can be greatest. When he is rewarded highest honor of the country and people are honored with awards named after his name even after having a blot of riots (Sikh riots 1984) and a scam, you can’t even think to go for second option.
 So, considering the facts given above-one hypothesis(as can’t be proved) is ready- Rajiv Gandhi was the greatest personality in India in its time period of over 75,000 years. If he is so great, what else we can do so that our coming generations could remember him over centuries?
 We should change text in Wikipedia that- Aryabhatta dreamt of Rajiv Gandhi before inventing zero and then gave zero shape of his face. We can then make a remake of “Purab aur Paschim” and change its song to- Jab zero diya Rajiv k Bharat ne… Even our Parliament may pass it by a large majority. Our next generation will never move off from facebook to know such things and we can always ban pages and websites which may prove threat to such valuable information.
Now What? We shouldn’t alter history? C’mon man even our could-be Prime Minister is not thinking that much. Yes! You got it right- Rahul Gandhi-Rajiv’s son. His father died in March 1991 and Babri Masjid was demolished in Dec 1992, still he was able to tell an interesting story that-“My father said to my mother that he would stand in front of Babri Masjid if that would do any good; they would have to kill him first” at Muzaffarpur.

If he can do this bit, we must make it large.  We should change the history, tell our coming generations that- we won our wars because of him. He was such a great pilot too. China defeated using the dirty tricks. They somehow drained out fuel from his plane. If it proves to be an offence somehow we can always move to another option- change our country’s name or something else.
Your suggestions are valuable. Be helpful in creating history.

Sorry if someone is hurt. Thanks for reading.

If we stop now, there is no coming back..

29 December 2012 : All i can watch on news channel, social networking sites or in my neighborhood is long faces. With no exception, everyone is distressed and anguished with the news of a 23 year old girl -nicknamed "Amanat" passing away. 16 December it was when she was raped by 6 men, i will prefer demons, inside a luxury bus, beaten by a rod and finally thrown out of the running bus. It is one of the most shameful and brutal act i heard in my life. Just thinking about the situation she has fought through gives me a shivering. I don't know how many of us would have surrendered in such a situation. She fought, and fought till her last breath with those frightening memories, with the mental and physical sufferings, with the evils against women security through the voices of thousands of people protesting all over the country and finally fought with the death.
 She is a hero to me and the fight she started must not stop till every girl and woman feels safe and respected in this country.

  It took a gang-rape , beating by a rod till the victim's intestines came out of her body in the National Capital - Delhi to bring us out on road. If it would have been in some other city, I wonder people would have been even aware of the shameful act. We are living in the society where Police rejects rape case questioning the victim's character and offer her money to take her case back. She decides to suicide rather than living in shameful society where everyone will challenge her dignity (a case from Patiala). And if Police happens to register the case, even after the hearings of fifty witnesses and filing of thirty page charge-sheet, a politician will come and call victim A PROSTITUTE (a case from Kolkata). Or to the worst when there are thousands of people protesting down on streets against the rape case, they will be lathi-charged and will get all media coverage required but the respected Prime Minister will take two days to come and address the people.
 It took anti-incumbency, previous awakening of mass by social-activist Anna Hazare, increasing rape cases every day, this brutal Delhi rape case and a very good coverage by our media persons to light this fire against this evil of our society.


 Losing her in such a way is a black-mark on our society. I am too distressed as you feeling the same anger and anguish as every sensible human being is feeling, but somewhere I am having a fear. A Fear : what if this fire stops without bringing a change ??? I would like to call it as our only bet. Once people get back to the old attitude - "Yeh India hai..!!! yahan kuch nahi badlega.." there will be no coming back. In the corrupted world we are living, we can't expect Mahatma Gandhi and Anna Hazare to to take birth again and again and awaken up the mass. I don't know how many gang-rapes and molestation cases again it will take to raise the matter of Women security and respect.
 What will happen if it will just become a political issue to be discussed before public during elections??? What we can can expect from politicians when some of them are charged with rape cases themselves and we are sending them to the Parliament. Enacting new laws or amendments, however tough they be, will not do anything worth because the society will still have the same Police which will not register the case and same politicians who will support the rapist by calling victim -a prostitute. Rapists will always find their way out with the police and political support. Need of the hour is to keep this fire burning, keep fighting till the end.

We are a family and we lost a sister.  We will not forget her and we will not forgive any of the rapists living in this country.

 Let's take an oath that this fight will never stop until respect for women starts running in our blood - that the cause will not be lost with the New Year's hangover and resolutions -that we will fight till the last breath and pass this to our next generation as a matter of great value.
 Let's bring the change so that our next generation will never have to encounter a gang-rape, and tell them - gang-rape as worst and filthiest of the crimes and Women respect as the highest of the concerns.

 Let's just know but also follow-
यत्र नार्यस्तु पूज्यंते रमंते तत्र देवताः। यत्र तास्तु न पूज्यंते तत्र सर्वाफलक्रियाः॥
Meaning : Where women are worshiped, goddesses dwell.
                Where they are not worshiped, all actions are fruitless.
            
 Media channels preferred the case over Gujarat elections, Sachin's retirement and India-Pakistan cricket match series- a commendable job i must say. Hope they will keep supporting us till the end in eradicating this evil from the society.

If you agree with me, please share the word.
Thanks,

Desi theory of Natural Evolution: Dr. Chaddha feat. Charles Darwin

Sometimes while watching some reality shows, politician's comments, discussing things, or simply observing someone - we are compelled to think - "Are you kidding me ? How one can possibly be so dumb!". And the second thought which comes in mind is - "I really wonder he was the fittest of the million sperms racing with him".
 Survival of the fittest - a theory by Charles Darwin. He proposed that there will be limited resources(egg) and many competitors(sperms). So, for fertilizing the only egg, fittest of the sperms will win.
 Just imagine that dumb guy once more. Could he have defeated a million or more ? Nah! even if there would have been only 20 competitors, he would have been beaten. Even he wouldn't have known when to start and where to end.

  Remembering some scenes from movie - "Vicky Donor", there was a guy, Dr. Chaddha, who was giving his expert comments after observing activities of a person. If not comments, he coined adjectives for different people like - lazy sperm, angry sperm, confused sperm and so on.
 For a moment, let's assume that he was right in coining those terms. Those people have originated with the sperm with the characteristics now they are showing. There might have been millions of sperms with different characteristics and one of them was chosen. Yes, I am saying that, might be there would have been only selection but not purely competition.

Not getting me ??? Let me try to make it simpler.

Have you ever been to college? No? Doesn't matter. Having so many people around you, have you ever came across this thought - "Why me or that good fellow is not having a girlfriend while the least handsome (or ugliest - your preference) among all is having one???"  OR  "Why in this universe that girl is with that guy???" You are striking right on the logic behind the selection.

 Women choose like this only, they like what they like and no logic is required to support that choice. If a girl  likes  Blackberry phone, you can't convince her that Android is better. If she thinks Rahul Gandhi can change India's fortune, you can't change her. At the best what you can get is - "Can we stop this discussion, please change the topic...". That's the way they think.

 So what I am trying to say is the egg in ovary is somewhat like a woman, after all it is produced by her, and the million sperms are the guys proposing her for selecting them. So there is competition for proposing but selection might not be based on it. She will not select one but he might not be the fittest or smartest of all.

 Atleast this way we will not be surprised by thinking that this dumb guy was the fittest of all. Only drawback is that those guys will lose that achievement that once in their lifetime(even before they came to earth) they were the fastest or fittest.

It has been written for light humor, Charles Darwin hadn't said exactly the way i said but that's the way most people understands it and am not a misogynist. Sorry if any lady feels offended.

Blame me, blame the people not the religion

Nowadays if you ask people- "What's your view about religion?" you will often hear the answer - "Personally! I don't believe in religion and God and for rest of all no comments", some will also say- religion is for superstitious and weak persons, who just blindly follow some stupid practices. People are preferring to be agnostic rather than being in mess of concluding what's right and what's wrong.

Bravest of all start criticizing and questioning the God and religious practices. It has been one of the most common debate topics as everyone wants to defend what he follows and for those who don't it is the easiest wave to sail upon and feel heroic of them as most of the people are religious because they are brought up with having that faith inside from childhood and everyone of them can't answer those attacking questions. They can't answer the questions about existence of the God, justify the wrong practices or can't even prove how they are doing the right thing if they can't answer first two questions.

  Let me start with an example, once upon a time there was a poor man whose son was sick for a long time. Even after the best medication possible no positive change in health was seen. Disappointed from all sides, he went to a temple and starts crying. He prayed - "Dear God! my son is all i have in this world" -he put down all his money and possessions and said - "I don't need these materialistic pleasures to live. Save my kid if possible, apart from all what I have is faith in you, my son lives or not I will be standing here in front of you with the same faith".

Miraculously, his son got well. What he saw was the God has answered his prayers and what others saw was if you offer God money he will answer your prayers.

 This example doesn't proves the existence of the God but it do gives an idea how the misinterpretation led to a wrong practice. Different people have different perception, but when a practice gets a firm setup rarest of the people have guts to change it. Not because they fear that the God will punish him but because some people have taken all the responsibilities of religion and other people do support him blindly.

 People go to temple and try to bribe God - if my son clears IIT-JEE/AIIMS I will visit your place again and present a sum of 5001 bucks or maybe more. It appears sometimes that someone is asking the God to prove himself if he wants that person to visit his place again.
Does the mighty needs money ?
Does he need your approval ?
Had he told you how you must pray ?
Things have gone worse because of the position money has got in our lives. If you have seen Nirmal Baba's television advertisement, it can be observed that people have placed money above God. He told people to do this or that and "kripa aa jayegi" and kripa is nothing but money. Now most of the people don't visit temple to feel the inner peace or be closer to the mighty, some wants a Porsche in their garage, some want their kid to do well in exams and many reasons- the main reason has been lost.

 When we have lost the main reason how can we stop or justify those superstitious practices. Maybe that's why many have got their business in it because people are too blind to realize anything.

Coming back to our critics, they usually question the persons they knew can't answer them. If you tell them to ask a Shankaracharya or a person who can answer them, you will be told at once- "As if I don't have any work in this world".
 One of the accusation is God doesn't gives food, money does.

Even before our currency notes were formed it was taught to people to wish-
               "Sarve bhavantu sukhinah, sarve santu niramayah" meaning everyone be happy and no one suffers from disease. The concept of Maya and Ram was taught so that people don't get blind in shine of money. The concept of Karma was taught to think before doing anything wrong and have higher moral values. For so many years, that same faith has tied people in one thread and taught them brotherhood. Things are so obvious now but deep inside you and me both know if it had not been in the first place things wouldn't have been same today.

 And if you think that reaching the God is about worshiping day and night, you surely don't have idea about Raja-Yoga, Karma-Yoga, Jnana-Yoga or Vedanta. Doing your work properly is an approach to the God, Yoga is an approach to God, worshiping and being a Sanaysi is an approach to God and also living in a household is an approach to God.

 What we are following today is some set of codes not religion. A religion is made by ideology not some practices or rules. Religion is a framework - a building and we are the interior designers. Its up to us what we make of it whether we make a wonderful ambiance or make a mess out of it.

 If we have made a mess - Blame me, blame us-the people not my religion.

God is omnipresent and Omnipotent. Feel his presence in every bit of this universe. You don't need to offer prasad to God, a meal to an hungry guy will please the mighty more.
"Extending one hand to help somebody has more value than joining two hands for prayer".

I am not a preacher and  just tried to present my thoughts without offending anyone. And reference of Hindu religion has been taken because of the my limited knowledge. Thanks for reading.

We are hitting on the wrong side...

This time i am starting with touching the most pathetic and saddest part of the curse we were talking about. Human trafficking has become a business for some people these days. They aren't worried a bit about the people they are selling what they know is the fact that it will add to their present income.
 Most of the customers buy them for making them beggars, selling their body parts, indulge them in prostitution or for cheap-labor. When I say prostitution, its not the business you are very familiar about- one of the easiest way to earn money, its about bearing a heavy pain to satisfy the unmanly desires of some beasts. Its unmanly because no human can treat any living being like they treat 3-4 aged gals/boys. They think since they have spent money on them they can use those kids whichever way they wish, so those kids are just not used simply for sex desires, sometimes chilly powder is put inside their sex organs, they are used so badly for sex that even their intestines come out of their body, or they are beaten like hell and they seek pleasure in these acts. One may even need a strong heart to read or imagine this what these people are doing.
 It really frightens me that people have gone so blind in fulfilling their desires that they aren't concerned a bit about other's feelings or might not even consider them as humans.

 In feedback to the last post, people suggested that rapists must be hanged till death for what they have done. Now talking about the typical case discussed above, shouldn't those traders, those parents be equally guilty ? Can you catch them all when it has been established as a business in the society silently ?
 If someone is favor of the parents, then i must say its like a case that- guy 'A' pushed guy 'B' in front of a running train. Now catch only train not the guy who pushed.

 In such a society where police has information about which thief is working in which area, how this dirty business has been established? And even if it has been established how they are carrying it so far ?
This is a question to be raised among us.

Moving on to the next level, from private to the public. Recently, there was a case in Guwahati on july 9, a 20 year gal was pull out of an auto-rickshaw. She was molested on the busy Guwahati-Shillong road. It was a group of 17 or more people, they even tried to strip her. This shameful act, surprisingly, went for 45 minutes till a senior journalist and a police officer came to rescue her. People watched the show and a television reporter recorded the whole incident which was later released on internet. That gal sustained many burn-injuries from cigarettes. Even after 10 days, only 12 of the 17 identified from video were arrested.
  This is one face of our society where if you start talking every one is a leader, will love to criticize things going around and is also a great philosopher deep inside but when it comes to do something rarely you can see a performer. We have been in habit of being audience and hoping for a superhero to come and fight against all evils. Alas! this is not a movie. Nor even we are so lucky to have a Mahatma born everyday.

 These are the cases where we can see the culprit, but these days many incidents can be reported where gals are molested and sexually assaulted within their homes - by driver,teacher or any relative.
      Now what? whom to hang when half of the world is dirty ?
Its like One is a gentleman till he isn't caught.

So, this problem can't be solved only by enacting laws. Firstly, about what we should be more considerate is victims.
 Why we look over this crime as it has ruined someone's complete life ?
 Why can't her life be same as before again ?
 Why she is thinking for suicide after that incident ?
 Why she has dropped off all her dreams after that incident ?

Look around ourselves, answer is us, the society. That guy raped or sexually assaulted her once, memories of which may pass off with time but we are making them to live inside her.

 She is embarrassed because she has been used like a dustbin and she can't even report to police because all the respect and reputation of her family will be washed-off by that single report.
 She is embarrassed because a few days earlier she was a brave child of her parents, now everyone is just showing sympathy with her. Shouldn't people just encourage her to fight against rather than making her more miserable.
 If she files a report, accused will be questioned is he is caught but she will be questioned at every step. She has to prove in court how it was a rape. Even sometimes accused are released on the grounds that the victim doesn't have any injuries.
 Sometimes best solutions of our great society lies in marrying the victim and accused. Really ? Can a gal imagine a rapist to be her husband ?
 If a gal, somehow, against all odds decides to give birth to the child she will not be allowed to live as she will have to answer for the child's father every now and then in our male-dominant society.
 We are hitting on the wrong side, we are questioning the wrong person. Why aren't we understanding  this simple thing ? Why are we making victims more miserable ?

 People are expecting for some real hard laws to be enacted, NGOs to rescue the victims. But folks, laws will just imprison or kill the animals of today, NGOs can have very limited range. What about the rapists, criminals breeding today among us ? Maybe they can tackle your laws when you are highly qualified lawyers working just for money, judges craving for money. Maybe NGOs will get so less in number that their existence will not matter much.

  So, what must be done? In order to find answer for this we must find answer for- why are we in this situation?
  A lot has been left to discuss, see you again with some more thoughts. Share your views regarding the post and if you have any solution for this situation, you are most welcome.

 Once again thanks for sharing my thoughts.

A 14 year gal and ruthless world

It was sep 2, 2012, Sunday it was, lying on bed i switched on my phone's light to check the time. It had been 10 a.m. , you don't expect anyone to wake up before 10 specially on Sunday when you are a working guy and know already that from tomorrow, for the next 5 days, you are gonna run for your lives since 7 a.m. in the morning.
 Thanks to Shubham, my flatmate, who prepared tea for us, rarely we get tea on time when you have to do things yourself. So it was around 10:30 a.m. when i sat down for reading newspaper. Starting it with a typical style -reading first page then last  and proceeding backwards till the editorial section. But today there was something which stopped me on the last page itself. There was a headline: "Move to deny school seat to rape victim foiled in U.P.".
 I read the detail and was shocked to hell and wondered is it real ? Isn't it a prank ? Alas! i can't expect a prank from THE HINDU, had to believe it. A 14 year gal was gang-raped by four guys this april and now she was being denied of getting admission in school. Although, she got admission in the school after the intervention of Sub Divisional Magistrate(SDM).
 I wasn't much relieved to know that finally she got admission, instead many strange questions hovered around my mind. It made put down the newspaper and think about the incident more deeply. Let me put down things in a strategic manner for you.

 Well, lets start with talking about this "RAPE" thing. It has been so frequent in our society that hardly it amazes anyone now while reading or watching about it. We have adjusted, got habitual of such things going around. Let me say, you started a small business someday long ago, put everything possible in it, made it a business empire from a building, a brand from a name and your most valuable possession. Someday some bullies come on your way, kick your ass down, punch your face and somehow get your signature on some judicial papers. I am not getting into its details but lets say somebody has got your empire in his name. How do you feel now?
bad ?
even worse than that ?
broken ?
can't explain in words ?
 An incomparable pain, embarrassment, agony is felt inside that raped gal everyday, every moment. She has been told since when she has got in her senses to preserve her beauty, her izzat. It is the most precious thing she has. You started your business when you were mature enough, you can still try your luck but what about her ?
 She is getting haunted by same nightmare whenever she observes some lusty eyes scanning her body, have a cheap comment or may be watching a scene in a movie. If, fortunately, someone gets ready to marry her, you don't know the way he is going to treat her or what is she going to deal with throughout her sex life. They raped her because they can't control their filthy desires, their lust for some minutes or may be for some hours. But this small time is going to cost that gal her whole life.
 An immature mind, hardly she knows what society is all about and some people gave her image she can't get rid of, a mental state she can't escape out, a lack of confidence which she can never gain and an image of beast in every man. She must be very exceptional to forget all these things and move on.

 Some of you must be thinking by now that those 4 were filthy bastards, what can we do, we can't keep check on every other guy- "hote hain do-char har jagah".
 So, lets move on to the next part- 14 year gal was gang-raped, completely shattered, now denied a seat in school. And to the utmost surprise this was done by the school Headmaster under the pressure of members of gram-panchayat and local Shiksha samiti. Kids studying in 7th class were tutored to state that - "they will discontinue their studies if the gal gets seat in the school" with a view that the students will get "polluted" if she gets admission. This was all going in a school where a fourth class employee, one of the accused rapist, was allowed to join his duty after getting released from jail against the rule according to which he must have been suspended within 48 hours.
 So, now i think, things have moved from some filthy bastards to our great society and if am not wrong, society do comprises of me and you.
 SDM intervened - headmaster and fourth class employee got suspended, gal got admission.

       Happy ending ? Fair enough ? I don't think so....
In between these incidents, what about the gal ?
Will any SDM be there when she will be teased and commented upon because of that incident ?
Will any SDM be there to help her getting married in such a society where students were getting polluted just form her admission ?
Will any SDM be there to get her confidence back out of that embarrassing act she has no part in intentionally ?

 In such a society, when we talk about equality and expect women to come forward, who are we fooling ?
 She is afraid, god knows, when & where she could be attacked upon. Many do suicide after such acts and some also make their goal of life to attain justice. Countless cases can be enlisted if desired to be. Do we really want our society, our world to be like this ?
 If not, what are we doing ? Yeah... many social workers are trying to make things better but what are you doing ? Now, some may also say, you are over-reacting, you tell a solution -we will follow you. If it had been so simple this problem has been uprooted long ago. Our society has been spoiled by some lusty people but it will take a much more number to improve things, to clean the air filled up of lust around us. This scenario can't be changed until we change ourselves, until we stop watching a show just because a pornstar is in it, until a lawyer stops to defend a rapist, until we stop voting for a rapist politician, until, i don't know, many more ways are used...
  Maybe prostitution should be legalized so at least these kids can feel safe. I am not debating on this, its just a thought. Overall this is a cancer spreading in our society not inside a person. If it is to be eradicated, a collective effort is needed.
 Just remember, we are from a country with highest of the values and culture, don't leave them behind in this world of technology.
