muslim problem

a nation is never a monolithic organ, it has so many different components pulling in so many different directions that the path of the nation is sum total of all these different vectors.
a very significant portion of the nation can be a very powerful impact over the country, take for an example, the parasees, with just a population of 65000, they employ more than 65 lakh people and contribule almost 20% of our GDP.
a small sect of music loving muslims have contributed more to hindustani classical music than any one else.
the communist movement is virtually led by upper caste brahmins in our country.
bhumihars have taken up half of leadership of naxalites in our country.
then there are people like me who like to get on with the daily life, earninf a comfortable salary, never really wishing to do anything radical, but willing to talk and analyze.
what can we do about the muslim problem?
is it truly a law and order problem? can you truly classify 16% of your population as law and order problem?
is it social, if yes what can we do to help them without raising indignation in other communities?
or does the problem lie with us?
if then what can we do to change ourselves?
i have my own take-
as a first step, ban all other madarassas, make it compulsory for muslims to send their children in a multicultural multireligious schools that are at least of the level of DAV or navodaya vidyalayas.
that could be a start....

Tashan Vashan

oh my god, some one tell the yash rajs that if the keep torturing people so much their brand value will go down.
first they give us jhoom barabar jhoom, then they give us lagaa chunari me daag and now this?
guys this film is utter torture, kareena is not hot, she is famished, someone feed her something soon!!! a banana will do all right, no make that a dozen bananas,
listen to this gem guys, kareena steals 25 crores from anil kapoor which incidently fits into a single bag and then hides it at all the tourist spots in the country..
one bag to a rajasthani nomad, one to backwaters toddy tapper, one to mohiniattam dancers, then when anil tells her to get it back they go dancing and singing all the way to these places and just clap these guys hands and they give the money bags back. just like that!!!!
and yes another gem, when going from haridwar to rajasthan they pass through ladakh.
this film is this years ram gopal verma ki aag guys avoid it like plague.
and yes the only way they can make kareena any hotter is by removing the last bits of cloth from her body, she doesn't impact any more. her oomphs leave a sorry taste in the mouth and no she doesn't have chemistry, physics or mathematics with saif ali khan only biology and that too is their private matter.
what a pathetic bunch of loosers.

देवनागरी का ह्वास

आधुनिकता एवं व्यक्तिगत उत्थान के इस घोर युग में हम सब अपनी भाषा के एक प्रमुख बिन्दु पर ध्यान नहीं दे रहें हैं. यह है हमारी लिपि.
बचपन से लेकर यौवन तक, जितने भी पाठ पढें, भले ही हनुमान चालीसा हो या फ़िर चाचा चौधरी, देवनागरी लिपि सदैव हमारे साथ रहती है.
जब मैं बैगलोर में रहता था तो आते जाते कभी सरकारी बैंकों के तख्तों पर जब देवनागरी लिखी मिलती थी तो बडा आनंद आता था. मगर जमाना ऐसा बदला है कि अब हिंदी भाषी क्षेत्रों में भी हमारी लिपी लुप्तप्राय हो रही है.
यदि आप ध्यान दें तो पायेंगे कि हिंदी फ़िल्मों के आगे पीछे रोमन लिपी का ही प्रयोग हो रहा है. जो चैनल अपने आप को हिंदी कहते हैं वे भी कभी देवनागरी लिपि का प्रयोग नहीं करते हैं.
किसी भी सीरियल का एवं उसके कलाकारों का नाम देवनागरी में नहीं लिखा आता है.
हिंदी समाचार चैनल भी कमाइ तो हिंदी की खाते हैं और गुण अंग्रेजी का गाते हैं, नहीं तो वे टिकर के द्वारा दोनो हिंदी और अंग्रेजी में समाचार क्यों दिखाते हैं. आखिर अंग्रेजी वाले तो कभी हिंदी में टिकर नहीं चलाते!!
देवनागरी मात्र हिंदी की ही नही बल्कि सारे ग्रामीण भाषाओं कि लिपि है.
यदि यही माहौल रहा तो आज से दस साल के बाद, खासकर के शहरों में देवनागरी पढने वालों की संख्या बिल्कुल नगण्य हो जायेगी और हम एक और चिर संचित रत्न अपनी सामूहिक याद से खो देंगे.

science and religion

none of the things that we know about time, space and universe is absolute.
the theory of relativity is a theory. you must be aware of the scientific progression of ideas.
hypothesis>theory>law.
whatever einstien has proposed may be turned overhead by future discoveries.
by claiming that our ancestors were aware of the theory of relativity as as nonspecific as claiming that we built boeings in the past as there is a mention of pushpak viman in ramayanas. it is mere idle talk and leads to degeneration of scientific spirit.
remember, modern science had to overcome a lot of obstacles from the church before they were able to prove anything.
it is this spirit of irreverence to religion that has made science what it is today. and when i mean religion, i mean the fantastic parts of the religion.
remember, other than rigvedas, every other religious texts in this country were written by poets, not scientists. and poets tend to exaggarate and produce tall claims. many of these claims would make it appear as if they had some resonance with scientific principals, but a further study of these texts would bely such claims.
we had books written by scientists such as charaka, sushruta, aryabhatta, and they never claim anything superstitious.
plus religion is a very personal thing and not beholden to scientific proofings. it satisfies our ego to claim that our religion is more scientific than the other, but it is a futile exercise that denigrates both science and religion.

संबंध के सच की कडवाहट

संबंध के सच की कडवाहट
दबे पांव, न करके आहट
धीरे से जीवन में आयें
कटुक स्वाद तालु पर लायें.

छोड भी दूं पर जाउं कहां
हर कोन में फ़ैली पडी यहां.
है बचना दूभर इस सच से
है बचा कोइ खुद के रच से?

मेरी भी गलती थी माना,
पर पश्चाताप तो था ठाना?
फ़िर भी तुम जाने कहां गयी
मानो कवि से प्रेरणा गयी.

most pathetic government

this has been the post pathetic goverment in this country to date. it has not a single achievement to its credit in its now greater than four years reign. only the janata dal governments have fared worse.
the nuclear deal was supposed to be its showcase, but it has been shoved in the backalley by this goverment so that it can complete its pathetic five year life.
it touts NREGS as its achievements. the damned programme is a bloody failure. the number of people below poverty line remain the same and the whole scam is a drain on taxpayers money.
it has effectively halted the golden quad scheme of NDA government, prices have been rising astronomically. people have been left literally reeling.
despite having young parliamentarians, it opted for inept,old and corrupt ministers like churhat scam tainted arjun singh who came up with the grand idea of reservations in higher education.
unfortunately still there are people also who feel compelled to vote for this geriatric wheezing asthmatic party.
time has come to shove them out of the door like they deserve. time has come to think for a change.
