Freedom...( taken from bhagat singh's diary)

Men! whose boast it is that ye

Come of fathers brave and free,

If there breathe on earth a slave,

Are you truely free and brave?

If ye do not feel the chain

When it works a brother’s pain

Are ye not base slaves indeed

Slaves unworthy to be freed?

Is true Freedom but to break

Fetters for our own dear sake,

And , with leathern hearts , forget

That we owe mankind a debt?

No! true Freedom is to share

All the chains our brothers wear ,

And, with heart and hand , to be

Earnest to make others free!

They are slaves who fear to speak

For the fallen and the weak;

They are slaves who will not choose

Hatered, scoffing and abuse,

Rather than in silence shrink

From the truth they needs must think:

They are slaves who dare not be

In the right with two or threee

Do we need a religion and the God???

" My own view of religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it a disease born of fear , and as source of untold nuisancy to the human race.I cannot however deny that it has made some contribution to civilization. It helped in early days to fix the calander and it caused the Egyptian priest to chronicle eclipses with such care that in time they become able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I donot know any other."
Bernard Russell
In this era of reason where everything is viewed on its reasonablity and practicability, do we need a religon to show us what is right and what is wrong?  Why is so injustice on this earth if there is a God, who loves us ? If there is a God why do I need to know him? Would it make a difference to my life ? Why do the god shrouds in the uncertainity and incomprehensibility?
These are some simple questions which, when are not answered makes a person to choose a path of a hedonist. 

MOBOCRACY...

Vandalising public property, arsoning buses and forcing all businesses to halt has been a conspicuous phenomena in India with rise in public outrage over frugal issues. Yesterday the second in command of Dera Sachkhand Ballan, Sant Ramanand got shot dead in a case of ethnic violence in Austria, Since then a spree of vandalism and destructive display of outrage is continuing in the parts of Punjab and Haryana. The protestors arsoned Kanyakumari Express at Jalandhar railway station without giving a second thought about what harm they are doing to their own country and their own people. Thanks to vigilant media which is trying to show the real face of these hooligans.

It shows the ignorance and foolishness of people protesting. Isn't it crazy that they are punishing their own people for the wrong done by people living in the other continent. Seems their mental faculties have gone bankrupt.

It is a shame to us and shows how mercurial we are when it comes to tolerance to religious issues. It is a shame to Dera Sachkhand Ballan which has failed to stop violence directed by their followers. Violence isn't a solution, it just aggravates the situation. Only love can wipe out the violence not the counter violence and vandalism. It could have been nice if dissented people could have been gone through diplomatic and legal channels to adress their resentment over the issue. It is a brazen exhibition of insanity and weakness of intellect by those who are protesting as well as other Dera leaders who exercise command over their headless followers. All violaters should be taught lesson and booked under concerned laws. 

May Sant Ramanand's soul rest in peace.

why a revolution ?

As i think of changes our society has undergone for past hundred years , despite a flood of technological advances I see a gloomy, sombre picture of our society on sociological front; which has been so reclusive to the changes that still most of our laws are governed through religious texts and a great majority of people don't want to see the dream of constitution makers of uniform civil code becoming a reality.

Absurd and oppressive social customs targetted against women and other weaker sections of society are still very much prevalent. It has been a personal experience of mine ( i think I'm an unlucky one) that our education system fails to build character of people. A great deal of so called "educated" bunch of people are the one who have been ardent hardliners. 

We have been talking of "reforms" from the time of Raja Ram Mohan Roy,  but does reforms are all we can do. We have to keep pace with the world or lest we will be very much like we are today; boasting of our economy when India still hosts the largest malnourished population. 

To change our country for better we need a revolution on every front. Only a revolution can help us making our society a good opresssionless society.

So there is no alternative to revolution, revolution on cultural front, revolution on economic front, revolution for good governance and revolution for a happy India.
