Nehru - A real villian?

I don't think so... All these bashing against our first and former Prime Minister! I mean anyone can disparage anybody by saying something but the reality is the decisions have to be reviewed with the context.

None of us is able to go back into the history in 1940s and make those decisions the same way. I mean we all make decisions based on certain knowledge, criteria, available information and context of time. It is imprudent to say that Nehru made wrong decisions and had Sardar Patel became the first Prime Minister of India, things would have been different.

With this Patel andolan in front of us, I am compelled to think that this is also Patel agenda. I'm convinced that Sardar was ordinary man like us and no extraordinary man. Had he done this, had he done that things would have been different. Who knows?? Entire Kashmir might have been gone if Sardar had made other decisions or may be not!!!

Well, the point is there is no point in arguing about probabilities. The reality is today and we have to face it. I think it is Patels who have made Sardar Patel as hero more than he is deserved to be. I'm sure they will also make Hardik Patel a hero. Why??? Because it is their mindset. They are like herd of sheeps who gets steered only by their caste members - Patels....

The most racist and disgusting caste I've ever seen... I've to say that there are always exceptions and there will be exceptions everywhere. All Patels are not racist but one can conclude that most (even in their unconscious mind). That is the reason why they are giving hard time to Modi and Amit Shah...

My question is if Patel community cannot produce leaders like Modi and Shah, why they need to belittle them without any real issue?? Because they are not Patels??? My sincere appeal to other community is to get united and give befitting reply to this nonsense caste based ideology.

It had no place in ancient Hindu society and such mentality has no place in today's society either. Some thing to think upon!!!!
 

What Hindus can do to stand united?

It's been couple of weeks since I wrote my last blog. So far I think I wrote enough to introspect and complaint about Hindus. I feel pity to see all these issues being a Hindu, myself. Rather making all these complaints, let's think what we can do together to make it better. That's what one can do as a human being.

We should absolutely abolish casteism. It has done more bad than good to society and religion. People have historically failed to understand the context or rationale or simply didn't understand between the lines when it came to castes and as a result Hindus suffered a lot. Today, these Patels have started the 'Zando Of Anamat" in the name of caste - how silly is that? My simple question is what you have done to get that privilege for a caste? Have Patels sent from the sky? Are they any different than others?

Those idiots need to realize simply because you were born in a certain caste doesn't make you any good or bad. That's the whole rationale behind Karmamarg. If you don't believe me, read Srimad Bhagavad Gita.

We should also take pride in what we have got as history but at the same time not simply rely on it. We must strive to make it better every day. Why not?? Didn't that our forefathers did? Was it not prevailing in Indus civilization culture? And due to that only we, Hindus, have greatest heritage, isn't it? Let's pause for a minute and think on it. Why should we leave the principles and goodness that our forefathers had and start following the westerns blindly - for what reason?

I firmly believe that God made all men equal or for that matter even men and women are equal. The person has no control over which caste to born into or which sex to be born with? So, why to make a fuss about it?? Isn't it the prudency not to take it granted and treat everyone equally?? This is for wise people only and whoever has little intellect will get this logic - samajdar ko ishara hi kafi hai.

I'm very proud to be born into the oldest and greatest religion of earth, Hinduism... Garv se kaho - Hum Hindu Hai!!!
 

Problem with Hindus

Being a Hindu I can say this because I consider it as my own dharma!

If I introspect, the main issues with Hindu religion are narrowed down to main two things -

• Casteism, and
• Not able to convert to Hinduism

If you study the history, you would tend to agree with me. The decline of Hinduism to Jainism and Buddhism is also due to the above issues.

Hindu religion couldn't proliferate in other parts of the world because Hindus were too content in preserving what they had and were busy in boasting about their past. Agreed, Hindu philosophy is the most ancient in this world and Hindus have a great heritage but at the same time Hindus must adjust in present time and face reality.

The only way I can see Hinduism can survive and goes forever is if Hindus can adjust to above beliefs by compromising. Remember it is the theory of survival of the fittest. Remember Jainism, Judaism and Zoroastrianism are in decline due to fact of non conversion. Hindus might end up in the same boat and before we get there, we must arise, awake and stop till the goal is not reached.

Let's get rid of castism and start converting people to Hinduism... Every human being on this earth is welcomed to call themselves a Hindu - the most ancient religion of this planet.

It's the way to go!!!

Long Live Hinduism!!!
 

Casteism - shame on Hindusim

I firmly believe that castes were created for betterment of society in ancient time and the intention of that was to have some rules and regulations to govern the society in that time. I don't think it was ever intended the son of a king would be the king and the son of a Brahmin would be a Brahmin!

The caste was to define by karma and it cannot be inherited. Unfortunately, it became inheritance and we all see the results today! Had it been by karma as envisioned by its creators, I am sure Hinduism must have been stronger.

All atrocities that Hindus experiences from Islam, Christianity and even Jainism and Buddhism would have been better responded had Hindus were not divided in the name of caste. As we see even today, caste is very relevant and people define themselves based on their caste. The question is - is ii in our hand to choose the caste? If the destiny cannot be changed for that matter, how come a person can boast of one's caste? He just happens to be born in a particular caste.

Due to rigid and unpractical caste definition, a lot of conversion has happened from Hinduism. In my opinion, the major reason for downfall of Hinduism is this parochial casteism that was never intended by its creators! It has done so wrong in Hindu religion that now Hindus distinguish them by castes and one caste is an enemy of other caste!

Hindus, I ask you to think over it and come out from this rigid casteism that doesn't make sense in today's world! Casteism should be dividing Hindus but it should be a way to unite Hindus based on their choice of profession (karma)!

Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached!! (Kathopnishad)
 

An Opportunist - Mr Hardik Patel

Bhai Hardik,

You started "Patel Anamat Andolan" to give reservation to your Patel brothers and sisters, right? What happened to it, Bhai? You will be campaigning in Bihar for Nitish against BJP in coming weeks. Why so? You had mentioned that people should throw stones at you if you ever enter into Politics! Now, if you really want people to do that you should get available to be stoned but you are absconding from Gujarati people and police!!!

Look, don't try to bullshit around and make people fools! You are 22 and may have mind of 12 year old. That doesn't mean that everyone falls in the same boat! There are billions of people like you and smarter than you who have walked this earth before and exist even today. The reality is you have started this andolan for your own personal gain so that you get some sort of career for yourself... Otherwise you are just B Com pass, who is going to give you a job when millions of engineers are struggling to get a decent job in India?

What happened to Modi protest in US? You were to incite those Patels in US against Modi in the name of Patidars? Look, Sardar Patel was a personality who was above any caste. Don't use his name to justify your mean spirited agendas!

I ask you to stop playing with innocent people's emotions as it is not only unfair but very dangerous for you! People have seen your true intentions now and you have lost the support from most common Patel men and women... The sooner you understand this fact, the better it is for you to move on in your life. Casteism is defined in Hinduism from Karma, not by birth! You think it is your achievement that you are born as a Patel - that is Jats (basically farmers) of Gujarat?

I feel pity on you that your play isn't going to be successful as the truth has already been revealed so before it gets really ugly I ask you to come out of this deadly game!!

Jai Hind!!!
 

God is sakar or nirakar?

This is one of the biggest dilemma to every child whenever he or she is taught about religion. I remember very well when I was a kid and I was introduced to Hinduism, this question arose to my mind and the more I started to think about it, the more I got confused with.

What is God?? Is it someone like a human being who is sitting far from us and controlling this earth? Is it some cosmic energy that controls the existence of all living beings? Does it have a shape or it is formless??

Whatever it is, at the end of the day I'm convinced that no one can answer that question with surety including religious leaders. Whenever you bring up this question, you will get an answer like it all depends on your "shradhdha".. That means they can't prove it but it's my problem that I can't accept their point of view.

So many wars have been fought in the name of God!! And the people who have fought those wars have no clue who is God and how does it look? I've found one interesting observation though!

I think the mandir sanskriti came to Hinduism from around 3rd - 4th century AD. Until then, Hindus were traditionally doing yagna etc... Lord Krishna and Ram lived many thousands of years before that but there is no record of any mandir that goes beyond 3rd century AD. So the question that comes to my mind is were Hindus really worshipping idols from the beginning or this is something that was introduced to Hinduism at a later date?

I tend to think that idol worshipping was introduced to Hinduism after temples were built.. The logic is simple - as these big temples were created, there has to be something in it so that people keep coming and there is nothing better than putting God in it... That's how Hindus became idol worshippers...

There is nothing wrong in worshipping idols in my opinion however it came with a big toll... Idol worshipping made Hindus weak in general and took out most aggression from them. If you read the history in detail of South Asian continent, you will realize why I'm saying so. Even during our Independence movement, the persons who were idol worshippers took side with Gandhiji for non-violence movement whereas there was a class of people who did not believe in non-violence movement and they were proposing violent struggle with English to kick them out of India. If you note who these people were - you will see that most of them were Aryasamajis or Sikhs or Muslims. All them are no idol worshippers!!!

I'm not saying this is absolutely true... There are always exceptions in life but you have to draw some generalizations then you have to conclude that it seems idol worshipping has made Hindus less aggressive over time otherwise Hindus were very aggressive race before 3rd century AD and you  can verify it from history... Of course, Hinduism had some influence and struggles in that time due to proliferation of Jainism and Budhdhism but still I think introduction of idol worship is one of the factors in taking away aggression from Hindus...

Jai Hind!
 

AAP's 'MOB'OCRACY & PAID MEDIA

One story has been doing rounds since Modi took over reins of Delhi with a landslide victory and that is, we need a strong opposition for vibrant Democracy... For this PAID media has been looking for some 'messiah' that can provide them 'cover fire' .. They failed with Nitish, Akhilesh experiment. And Pappu was their biggest disappointment. Finally they had their Messiah in 'Mahatma' Kejri !!!... The so called saviour of Democracy gave it's taste of 'mob'ocracy to Gujarat in last few days...

AAP's 'kranti sena' have started importing Anarchist ways of life for normally peaceful & business friendly community in Gujarat... And we had our own share of Chaos, Friction & Anarchy through Dharna, Drama, Debate and Agitation. The end result was Death & Destruction in Gujarat. I have kept opposing Kejriwal's way of doing politics precisely for this reason...

There is no society in the world, including those in U.S. & Europe, which is free from problems.. They have their own share of cultural and social issues. There is no country in the world, including the most developed in North America & Europe, free from political and development related issues... The most tragic part in India is, Communists & Naxalites exploit public grievances and turn them against ruling Government. If some Civic amenities are lacking, declare a war on the Government. If there are issues related to social welfare scheme, blame the present day Government. If certain development issues are pending, take potshots at the Government. If your finances are shrinking, falling sick even, blame the Government for that... This has been a highly successful Naxalite strategy in not only turning anger against Government but even brain washing young minds & prepare them to take up arms and fight for them. I am not advocating taking away rights of citizens to protest, argue and raise fingers, but Government functioning has to be analysed objectively through proper perspective and not to be criticised just because of 'Pathological' hatred towards Modi...It's so tragic that the oldest political party of India, Congress has to resort to AAP's tactics to remain relevant. And this is Hit & Run way of doing politics. Congress along with AAP & Liars in media have been accusing Government with concocted stories without any responsibility to prove it. This has been their way of creating political space..

Just when I am writing this post, there is news that 'Gujarati Kejriwal' is now threatening to stop supply of vegetables & milk, if justice is not done with 'Patidars' !!!.. Gujaratis, welcome to  the world of Anarchy & Chaos, the AAP way... West Bengal had it's share of Anarchy for decades through Naxalites. The same is being exported to Gujarat through Delhi experiment !!!...

Even the so called 'Educated' but not necessarily 'Learned' fail to differentiate municipality level problems with those issues of National importance.. We want garbage in front of our house to be cleaned but for that we want Modi to start 'Swacch Bharat' abhiyan. Problem doesn't end there, we even want modi to come to our premises & clean up the mess.. This is our understanding of municipal level problem & national priorities.. I often ask people, if you have headache or stomach ache, do you expect the doctor to know that & visit you ??!!.. You go to the doctor to seek solution for your problem.
Recently, there was a scheme launched by central Government to give up LPG subsidy. Some Morons kept arguing that MPs don't give up their canteen subsidy, so don't expect us to give up LPG subsidy. My simple argument with such Morons is, if a doctor advices you to take brisk walk every morning, would you go on to argue that  since MPs are not doing it, I would not do it ??!!.. Giving up subsidy is essential for long term implications on Nation's economy. We don't give up LPG subsidy and expect people from OBC with stronger economical background to give up their right on reservation !!!.. We are a nation of Hypocrates...
For Oxymorons (Those who preach one thing & practice exactly the opposite) amongst us, 'Acche Din' means, AAPDE MANDIR MA BESINE MANJIRA VAGADVANA, GOVERNMENT BADHU FREE MA AAPE and MODI MARU GHAR CHALAVE...

Regarding role of Media, I strongly believe whether there is stronger opposition or not, Media (one of the 4 pillars of democracy) must be neutral & powerful. What we are witnessing today is certain Media houses in trying to be anti-BJP, have crossed all limits and have become anti-national..
We often talk  about corruption by politicians & bureaucrats but sadly, we don't discuss corruption of media houses.. The 'Krantikaris' @ AajTak & NDTV are known for their views, So are the 'DALALS' @ABP News and also the 'Ring master' of Circus @ 9.00 on Times Now...

But the most poisonous and dangerous is the vernacular dailies with which we begin our days... For almost over a month, local Gujarati news papers were spewing Venom & Poision and literally inciting passion and instigating castiest fervor through coverage of 'Patidar agitation'. The death & destruction in Gujarat is the end result of such poisonous news feeding of these news papers and Vultures of Paid media who are scavenging dead bodies. And all these went on unabated for almost over a month. Surprisingly on the Government part, there was no control over it. Newspapers can have their political leaning & affiliation depending upon their commercial interest, but they can not be allowed to go uncontrolled for their anti social & anti-national crime.. The cycle of Lies & Concocted stories by media have been going on for more than a decade now. It's time now to regulate them...

Few years back, during a vibrant Gujarat investor summit, I heard a Japanese industry minister saying, "Japan is few hundred years ahead of India, because Japan has 100 million citizens and India has got 1000 million Residents..."

This really sums up what I wanted to convey through this post. 

An Open Letter To Hardik Patel

Bhai Hardik,

What do you think - who are you? Let me tell you - you are the moron who has gone out to take advantage on peoples' emotions and innocence into your advantage by taking caste's name! Are you really living in 21st century? Do you consider that being born in a patel caste is your achievement? Have you done anything for that? Have you thought your foolish and thoughtless actions will take Gujarat and India to which point?? Mind you, the world and other states are laughing at you...

The name (Sardar Patel) you are taking advantage of and banking on would have ever liked this? Did he ever use caste politics when he was alive? Don't take his name in the name of caste and make him smaller!!! He was much bigger than any caste and especially people like you who haven't been outside of Gujarat and seen the world!!

Let me ask you - what's your qualifications btw - B Com? 22 years?? And lived in a small town of Gujarat until now??? There is nothing wrong with it unless you get a job or do a business and get married at this time of your life... Many normal people would have done that but abnormal people like you want to be leader?? Right??? That's why you need a mass - a big mass - to join with you in whatever bandwagon you come up... and guess what??? There is nothing easier and simpler to incite innocent people in the name of caste and play caste politics!!! Who cares for those poor unscruptures people - you will probably get a ticket for vidhan sabha or lok sabha next time, correct?? Don't take advantage of peoples' innocence for your own personal agenda!!! It is an offence that is unpardonable from moral point-of-view!

Have you ever thought what your outlook is about the world? Just come out of your own self-imposed definition of caste and look around... The world is huge and it has no place for any caste. Think of human being and human race as a whole as that's our Hindu scriptures have taught us! Can you cite any example of your caste based politics that relates to any Hindu scripture???

Shame on you!! Look your face in a mirror!! You are the one who is responsible for all innocent peoples' deaths in Gujarat. Your unthoughtfulness and illiteracy has provoked this so-called nonsense anamat andolan to this stage!! Recognize your responsibility and if you are understand anything out of this, STOP IT RIGHT AWAY as the only place for you to go after death will be hell if you help people get killed in riots by police. By having killed these many people, where else you can go??

Just stand up and do the right thing. There shouldn't be any shame to back off and do the right thing at any time whenever you wake up!!

"Jagya Tyarthi Savar!!"

In my opinion, you are responsible for all these murders... Think on it, you still have some time to correct your mistake. And if you really recognize that it is your mistake by introspecting, then it can always be forgiven as we are all human beings and we humans make mistakes...

Jai Hind! Jai Gujarat!! Jai Sardar!!!
 

Who is Hindu?

Yes I'm Hindu... A proud Hindu... But at the same time, I'm a person who respects every religion and thought that makes a human being feel closer to the God...

God is a phenomenon in my opinion... Some call is sakar and some call it nirakar and there is a disagreement on that and the discussion is endless. Sadly, millions of people got killed in the name of God...

In ancient India, the region east of river Hindu (for Sindhu) was called Hind. The Persians were pronouncing S as H (similar to San Jose if you know how to pronounce it). And anyone who is from that region was known as Hindu - meaning resident of east of Sindhu river. Hindu is lifestyle in a nutshell which is very loosely defined. There were a set of things that were suggested as a guideline if anyone follows any of it, he was called a hindu. You don't have to do anything specific to be called yourself a hindu. You are just born in that community and you are called a hindu.

Then time progressed and generations changed. People starting thinking about self realization and the concept of God came into existence. What is God after all? Is it Bhagwan or Allah or Jesus or anything else you may want to call him? In my opinion, God is one - no matter what you want to call it. Same like English people call water, Spanish people call aqua, Gujarati people call pani, in Sanskrit it is called neer, waari, jal, toyam etc it refers to the same thing, but the person who doesn't know the other language won't understand the other people and him are actually referring to the same thing.

The same way hindus don't realize when muslims call Allah, they are actually calling Bhagwan and vice versa unless one understands the other language. The point is whoever is from east of Sindhu is Hindu - it doesn't matter which religion he follows... The religion came into existence to get near to the God and that too much after human race came into existence. Keep in mind different people have different concepts on what they call God and let me tell you that they all are RIGHT!!! The beauty of this concept (i.e. GOD) is nobody is WRONG!!! If you make different ornaments from gold (like earring, bangles, chain, ring etc) and the fact is they all have gold, the same way you do any ritual in the name of God and it will reach to the God!!!

Only thing is you must do it with pure heart... Let's not fight over religion because in the end it leads to the ONE and the SAME.
 

Patidar reservation in 21st century - really?

Has someone even thought why we need patel anamat? If patels are in majority in just numbers, does it make them any superior than others? Frankly speaking, I'm surprised how many Gujaratis identify themselves by caste rather than being a Gujarati or an Indian?

I don't think Sardar Patel had even liked this. If we continue like this and promote a particular caste then let me tell you India's future is dark as a country. Let me tell when we call start thinking about us as a Hindu then only a nation can progress. Let's call ourselves an India  and not patel or Brahmin or bania. The caste system is a shame for hindus and let's make every effort that we don't pass it on to our next generation if we want to see strong nation in 21st century!

My viewpoint...
