Thanks God! Afzal was not a "manchi congress karyakartha"!!

Afzal was the mastermind behind the attack on Indian Parliament. Seven innocent security personnel were dead in this attack. Afzal was sentenced to death by the supreme court.

Thanks God! YSR is not PM on India!!

Thanks God! Sindey is not the President of India!!

Thanks God! above all Afzal was not a manchi congress karyakartha (congress activist)!!

If it was so, Afzal would have been a free bird, enjoying one of the discos in NewDelhi and planning to attack elsewhere! Even Bin Laden would have been shown mercy!!!

I was lucky to see how the people in highest offices can make fun of the democracy and make it a big failure. Our honourable chief minister surpassed Mother Theresa in being kind-hearted and he can even challenge Jesus! Right after assuming the CM's office, this idiot took every step to free a murderer from his 10-year sentence, all because he was a close associate to the CM and above all, he was a manchi congress karyakartha!! That jungle Sindey didn't have time to even read the reports given by SP and collector which were identical even in commas and full stops!! Now the CM says that he didn't even read the reports given by SP and collector.

Ahaaa!! Kya scene hai!! as long as such idiots stay in CM position and as long as governors are no better than CM's attenders, such things happen.

Thanks God!! at least the judiciary is working fine.

In a true Gandhian way!

Just few days after I wrote my blog Lets us prove Einstein wrong, I was fortunate to see the following news in The Hindu. Its amazing to see soldiers executing Gandhian principles! Hats off to you all!!

In Lebanon, a Gandhian inspiration
Indian peacekeepers try to apply the Mahatma's teachings

IBL EL-SAQI (Lebanon): In south Lebanon, where Hezbollah militants fought with Israeli troops in July and August, India's U.N. peacekeepers draw inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi.
The 650-strong contingent, which maintained its positions throughout the 34-day conflict, has erected a bust of Gandhi in a square in the heart of the village of Ibl el-Saqi, where they maintain an immaculate garden.
Commanders of the Indian contingent, whose headquarters are in the village, say that the troops try to apply the Mahatma's teachings in their peacekeeping duties they have carried out in the area since 1998.
"Gandhi Park was based on the life of Mahatma Gandhi, who tried to educate the people that through non-violent means one can resist and still win without firing a bullet, without slapping, without threatening anyone," Major Saurabh Pandey said.
"You must have a big smile on your face and try to win the hearts and minds of people. So you can say that Mahatma Gandhi's influence is there."
Maj. Pandey said the area's Shi'ite Muslim population remained in awe of the turbans he and fellow Sikh officers wore in the blue colours of the United Nations, even if they continued to believe they were a mark of Islamic learning rather than the Sikh religion.
"They don't know what a Sikh is, but they think that we are all sheikhs because of our turbans," the Major said. "They try to come close to us and then get a couple of pictures - 'Can I have a picture with the sheikh of India?'" - AFP

Let us prove 'Einstein' wrong!

Earlier I titled this article as "Yes! Those generations have come!!". Later I felt the new title fits better. The article is written inline with the old title, it may need to be rewritten to suit the new title!!
Theory of relativity, mass-energy equivalence, photo elects effect, atom bombs, politics, God, ..., and what not?? history proved many times that the synonym for genius and intelligence, Einstein, was never wrong. But did anybody test whether he was right or wrong in saying about Gandhijee, (on the occasion of Mahatma's 70th birthday in 1939),"A leader of his people ...... Generations to come, it may be, will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked on this earth."
I can confirmedly tell that he is not wrong this time too. On this October 2nd, the current generation has got a golden opp to prove that Einstein is not wrong. For them, Oct 2 is more a no-non-veg-and-no-liquor-day than birth day of the Father of the Nation. This Oct 2 was a coincidence with Vijaya Dasami festival and some sections can not survive without non-veg and liquor on a festive day. Their brains worked more accurately than ever: they purchased liquor the day before (as all liquor shops should be closed as per the law) or the shopwallas opened separate secret counters!! In my native place, they were even smarter. They exploited a hole in the law which bans selling meat but not the live chicks and birds! I don't say that eating meat is anyway related to following Gandhi's principles. If you act so smartly for those petty things and break the law, you are mis-respecting that Great Soul in one or the other form.

There are two very important things to be noted here: 1) Accept & believe in the power of Gandhism and appreciate this saint's efforts towards India's freedom 2) Follow the principles stated by Gandhism. The second one demands tonnes of courage and commitment from you, but you need only common sense and honest impartial observation for the first one. If you really do the first one, then only you can pass the Gandhian values (at least in theory) to younger generations, otherwise contribute to the masses that are busy with proving Einstein right.

What the masses that wont bother about (1) feel @ Gandhi? An interesting question. I see majority of them criticizing Gandhi and abusing Him with their limited knowledge and short mindedness. As this crowd is large in size, it does not take much time for those generations to come. In some form, those generations have already come! I often come across three arguments from such people 1) Non-violence is stupid 2) Freedom is delayed because of Gandhijee 3) He was in favour of muslims 4) anything else?

  1. One young colleague of mine (called Dumbu...ping me for his orkut profile) thinks that non violence is stupid. He goes to the extent of addressing Gandhijee with all irrespective wods he has in his dictionary. I wonder whether he ever put enough thought regd Is non-violence really stupid? Do we really achieve everything with violence? The answer is a BIG NO!! Non-violence is not something Gandhi designed in his room!! It is there for ages! We see its power in Vedas, Ramayana, Mahabhartha, Jesus History, ....What not? Non-violence is the power of poor. Even it seems that weak people can only follow non-violence, it needs some extraordinary thinking (yes! really) to realize that only strong (in fact, very strong) people can follow this path. What a beautiful and powerful message these words have an eye for eye can only make this world blind and achieve nothing more ..nothing less! Can the poor masses of India really dare enough to fight the all powerful British? 'No' right? They cant survive doing that. Gandhijee showed the power of non-violence first in Champaran of Bihar and again many times during freedom struggle. If you can't believe, ask Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela or Desmond Tutu. If you can't believe still, refer to Vidura Neethi of Mahabhagavatham. Vidura Neethi is one of the priceless gems of that great epic. Violence achieves nothing. What naxalites are doing for the past 50+ years? Nothing..they achieve nothing in next 10 power 6 years also!! Gandhism is the best solution to the problems in west Asia also, the conflict never ends if Hizbulla involves in guerilla attacks and Israel reacts. Gandhijee showed perfect God-like qualities in action. We could see what ever that existed in theory in all Vedas, Mahabharatha, Ramayana executed by this saint. Entire world was shocked to see a freedom fight without violence!!
  2. Was freedom really delayed because of Gandhijee? See! Foreigners' invasion of India started sometime in 1600s. Gandhijee came back to India from SouthAfrica in 1915. Nothing happened in these 315 years!! But what happened in next 32 years was a history!!! Even if we assume that there was some delay, does it really matter? For that simple reason alone, can we really zero all his great achievements?
  3. Hindus and Muslims are like two eyes to Indian society. Whether anybody agrees or not, India's development is purely dependent on development of both the communities. Gandhijee knows this better than anybody else. If one religion attacks the other, shall we ask them to take revenge or keep calm in true interests of the country? People with short-mindedness can never
  4. (really never) understand the greatness and vastness of Gandhi's views. This bad image to the great saint is all because of BJP, RSS and Bajarang Dal. These parties always claim lives of innocent muslims for the activities of some useless people from the same community. Yes, I agree that all terrorists in India are muslims, but can we say that all muslims are terrorists? But those parties can say that. Instead of killing many innocents in elsewhere in India, they can go to Jammu Kashmir and kill all islamic terrorists. Just look at the recent affairs. BJP celebrated Vandematarm's 100 year celebration (am i right?) like anything, just because there exists some controversy with muslims. Why they don't have same spirit to celebrate Sathagraha's 160 year celebrations? There is no controversy involved there which gets them some votes. Did they participate in Dandi March's 100 year celebrations? Gandhijee is a stronger devotee towards Lord Rama than all useless fellow of these parties who never leave a chance to cash on the Ayodhya issue.
These days it became a fashion in younger generations to abuse Gandhijee for useless reasons. I really don't know whether Gandhijee did any mistakes during freedom struggle. For God's sake, respect His sacrifice, untiring efforts towards our freedom struggle. This thin man at the age of 70, went to a communal riot-hit village in West Bengal and observed fasting when rest of India was celebrating freedom. Cant this single reason enough to bow our heads at the feet of this Great saint? How much confidence one needs to say My life is my message?

Last words: Just observe Lord Krishna's message in BhagavthGeeta Anthyakaalecha maameva smaran mukthwa kalebaram.. (those who chant My name during last moments, they reach Me). No doubt Gandhijee merged with Lord SriRama, you might be knowing His final famous words Hey! Ram!! So becareful when you try to put some -ve comment on him!!

A Plea for Action: Whoever reads this blog, please involve in my movement to prove Einstein wrong. Our future generations desperately need Gandhian principles and his message. They need more than what our ancestors needed 100 years back!!
