"No country or people who are slaves to dogma and dogmatic mentality can progress"


"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 status in this world. He had a lot to do then. He did most of it and in trying he passed away.
            Our current position, as a country is pathetic. We still have to go the same distance as it were in the time of Pdt.Nehru. We are right where we were at his time at least in the case of poverty and education of children. Disparities in our current living conditions and the availability of basic services to the poor is very bad. Wiki leaks has revealed, that its Indians who have stashed more money to Swissbank than any other country. We have lots of money,the one thing we lack is good and prospicient leaders who can lead us. Our country is rotting in corruption. Only "the people" could save India from this. We should unite and do something. We have the responsibility to full fill our great ancestors dream and vision about our mother country India. We are all responsible for the situation we are in now,So stop pointing fingers and do some thing about it.

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's...

Youth and Politics

Our political system is crippling and burdened with over aged hypocrites. I honestly believe our politics  need a revamp. Don’t you think present is ruled and governed by the ghosts of past. There is big difference in past and present  social values.  Don’t get me wrong, when i colloquially put it as older people coz you might think i am some kind of Nazi. When i say older, i meant our over-the-hill politicians, you can say they have experience and all, but right now what we need most is not experienced minds but bold minds who can accept the change happening around and those who are willing to break free from the old traditional format. The average age of our Parliament is over 60 years. How many leaders are there in our parliament who are not from a well-off and don’t have a criminal background. Most of our politicians and executives for that matter are sycophants. Being rhetoric and sycophancy are the trademarks of most of our statesmen. This sycophantic behaviour de...

From a socialist point of view

"the private and individual is altogether banished from life and things which are by nature private, such as eyes and ears and hands, have become common, and in some way see and hear and act in common, and all men express praise and fell joy and sorrow on the same occasions"                                                                                                                               - Plato, The Republic That was the seed which grew into a big tree which considered as the ancestor of Communism or socialism (of course there is difference in Communism and socialism) or simply, you could say a classless society, where people share all their property. ...
