Being A Rebel

While caste being less and less important in common lives of Indians, caste-politics is picking up and growing up to deeper depths. Education and appointments are totally casteists now, even the text book and examination papers are becoming tool for justification of caste politics and vote bank politics.             When India won freedom, entire population was poor and illiterate, regardless of its caste line. Reservations were far less and only in Electoral and public jobs. At present, 64 years down the line, Indian populous is richer and more literate and even more urban (where caste don’t even matter in real life), the caste quotas are must increased and infested all higher educational institutes even specialized agencies such as ISRO, NRSA, DRDO and all other government agencies. What is making this tendency stronger? Certainly nothing but the lust of power, which is being clinched through divisive vote bank policies....

Udayveer ji, talking about the caste should not be one sided. What Dr Ambedkar did was not Annihilation of caste but rather insitutionalization of caste. The worst form of caste discrimination, which is publish in the govt report or any other report - is not universal. Even today, 99% atcrocities against poor or dalits are done by the so called OBC castes, who gets more reservations than even dalits! Talking on Dr Ambedkar, he was an educated rhetoric. His father was working in army. Local king sponsered all education on Mr Ambedkar. Despite that, He never participated in freedom struggle, also demanded separate electoral. Political parties and govt documents often lie in order to maintain the political correctness, referring him as a freedom fighter. He was never one. Read and think. Let's talk about another great leader who also belong to same caste - Babu Jagjeevan Ram. He was a great freedom fighter, finest statesman and perhaps he inducted several dalits in main str...

It was a summer of our college days of JNU. While other guys went home in vacations, my entire class headed towards Himachal for the academic tour. And we have to study the physical geography. All of us were very excited as we were going to mighty Himalayas for the first time. Class was divided into several committees and I was convenor of academic committee, as I loved briefing my folks every morning about the tasks of the day. The tour was under supervision of our guru ji Prof Milap Chand Sharma, a world famous glaciers expert and our coolest professor. It was fun-learning experience as we learn geological history of the Himalayas along with the environmental importance of the mountains. We tracked up to the mouth of Beas river and also walked over the parent glacier of this river.  The natural beauty near Beas kund was amazing. Tough and rocky vertical tracking made it very adventurous. On due course, we met many mountaineering groups most on them were defence...

Being a Tech Entrepreneur, IT professional and Social Media enthusiast, technical things - smartphone, laptop and the related accessories have become integral part of personal and professional life. Even If I have to take it to public, these things are essential.    Even though such things have become need of life, living with those needs are really tiring. How much I wished to escape from such dependency.... but day by day it is growing deeper.  Simple Nokia 2300 was much better then Blackberry, at least it had everything I needed. I remember how we had ques in Hostel phone lines before the mobile started. That time we wished to have handsets. Growing needs also making the great contribution in technical vulnerability. My personal experience says this story of tech dependency and vulnerability. All jokes on blackberry addicts seem realistic when I am really busy posting on social media, specially on twitter . The emails and news related with industry and t...

With the largest number of Assembly and Parliament seats, Uttar Pradesh has always foretold the direction of Indian politics. Current assembly elections too are not an exception.   However, people of Uttar Pradesh dint participate much in polling until these 2012 Assembly elections. It was a huge increase at 59.48 %. Though It was bit lesser than the other four states such as Manipur (79.8), Uttarakhand  (67.22), Punjab (78.57) and Goa (81.74). As per election commission analysis UP observed highest number of increase in voters since last assembly elections, it was 45.81 % from the last assembly elections.  Credit goes to the election commission for getting maximum population of citizens into voter list. The campaign through several media helps in communicating election commission message across the masses.  Some political parties like BJP also run campaign among youths for voter awareness. Ramlakhanpal Sharma, young MLA of BJP, Varun Gandhi, you...

"Congress Party is mother of Indian backwardness" - this is a well established fact. The cost we have been paying is huge.     I just found a pamphlet, I wrote three years ago while studying at JNU. The context was, the communist parties SFI (CPM) AISA(CPML) along with NSUI (Congress) and ABVP (BJP) were sitting on a hunger strike to implement caste based OBC quota in JNU.  It is to be noted that government had already issued the notifications, Supreme Court under CJI KGB has already allowed the caste discrimination in higher education... but these quota mongers where still sitting on hunger strike for it. Though it is funny and foolish act for any other rational human being, but they all were aiming to vote bank. All of them! Govt of Congress party brought this undemanded quota and all rest parties were biting like a dog.  Have a look at this pamphlet.

With insatiable need of our time, we are running behind many goals at a time. Fulfillment of multiple desires has been the only direction of our lifestyle. This race is often inspired by materialistic gains and comparisons. This situation lands us in several vulnerabilities. We have time for our desires, but not our true selves. This leads to anxiety, distress and further physical illness. Question arises, why we become our own enemies by creating such demon in mind? Well, with the help of circumstances and environment, our mind stimulates the emotions and these emotions are very naive and tender to get hurt. When our emotions are hurt, our thinking process starts hatching the negativity which creates the monster in our mine. Confucius once said, “Before Enlightenment Chop wood, Fetch Water! After Enlightenment, Chop Wood, Fetch Water. Even if we imply the word of Confucius in materialistic condition, it is much a valid philosophical theorem of practical life. If the aim o...
