Right or wrong?


Is violence justifiable by its cause?, a question which stands soaring after vast amount of  rational thought and endless debating. This is more of a philosophical question than practical. Some take the path of violence and some peace. Does a  man/woman who takes the path of violence becomes bad or immoral even if his/her aim is righteous? i know i am not the one who supposed to judge such great things, but i am forced to ask such questions as no one responsible in our society is giving much preference to it. Let's take the instance of Maoist attack, some take the side of Maoists yet some others side with Police, in Manipal, Indian Army has done things which violate human rights yet in that case too people took two stands. Whether its a Maoist or a policeman when some one dies the ripple of pain and suffering the death creates dissipates in the network of people related to that dead person. So definitely violence can leave scar on the face of society and its repercussions could be insurmountable. 

A man who want to bring goodness to the society chose the path of violence, is he just the same as a man who chose violence simply to attain his personal desires? is there no difference between them. I beg to think differ, b'coz what ever be the weapon, the weapon is only as bad or as good as the person uses it (we all know the saying that a weapon is only as good as the person uses it). It is the individual and his intentions which are the deciding factor, not the path. i am not justifying violence its just that some times it is necessary. Sometimes it is justifiable, if it is for the greater good of society.

Why can't we be much more liberal in attitude towards this issue. As we all know, each and every human being is different from one another but when certain issues like this we are obstinate of being settle with one solution, which each and every one of us think is right. We never try to see it from different perspectives. This is where we could use the help of great people (great doesn't mean, by their position but by their deeds) like Binayak Sen, Mahaswetha Devi, Abdul Kalam, Baba Aamte etc., whether we listen to them or not is another big issue to debate. My point being, people like this influence society in its development of  moral side, as people look up to them as intellectual or icons.

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. ...
