I Speak my mind

"No country or people who are slaves to dogma and dogmatic mentality can progress" Years had been passed since India heard these revolutionising words from our first Prime Minister, Pdt. Nehru. It would be appropriate to recall his words at this time, of his 46th death anniversary. A great man who had visions, and was foresighted, for the development of his country. Prevision is what our current political leaders are not familiar with and one he was very much. He had given us an image of ourselves as Indians, no matter what your caste or creed, which no one else could have been able to deliver. Under his rule India achieved her status, as a developing nation. World started to acknowledge India as a developing power, whose decision matters. When he became the prime Minister of our country India was nothing but a former colony of Great Britain. He worked hard to rise above the tag of "former colony of Britain" to an independent, stable nation, which has has her own s

What is happening in our country? Gandhiji always did remind us that we have basically an agriculture based economy. The soul of India is in our villages. Now, these farmers are being cheated by officers, ,politicians and even by their very own govt., whom they voted for. It is as big an issue as corruption. People all over India gave support to Anna Hazare's venture. But in U.P(Bhatta Parsol village) no one seems to care. Those farmers are beaten by the PAC officials. Their men are forced to run away from their own village for their lives. Even news channels are not trying to give the issue a proper thrust.  Others are not even considering it as an issue worthy of their attention. To them it is just a riot, by some group of people. They are not at all concerned b'coz it won't affect their day to day life, atleast directly. As far as news channels are concerned they are still after dead and 6 feet under Osama. They are trying to make our country proud by showing us Pakistan

Osama bin Laden is dead atlast. Americans were cheering like, they have won the football worldcup. In their eyes bin Laden is the most dangerous and wretched person ever lived on this planet, probably second to Hitler. Osama was a bad human being there is no argument about that, but cheering and enjoying the death of a person, even if it is your enemy is not a healthy practice. If we enjoy and take pride in killing then what is the difference between us and a guy a like Osama; he took pride in his jihadi killings and we take pride in our revenge.              Yesterday when i was going through the channels i happened to hear the official speech made by Ms. Hilary clinton, she said justice has been served and Osama had never valued human life. Were these Americans (American Govt. , not people) ever valued human life other than theirs. What did they do when they invade Panama, which was codenamed Operation Just Cause and nobody could forget what they did in vietnam.                 I
