The Future Is In Your Hands


On the eve of the Karnataka elections, it is necessary that we introspect on what has been achieved and what needs to be achieved. In addition, we need to do an autopsy to see where things went wrong with our choices.  What has been achieved is an easy answer to some and not so easy to others.  Do we have the basic fundamentals guaranteed to us by our democratic constitution?  Do we need to modify the existing constitution to adhere to modern times?

 The existing government has not done a very good job of ensuring equality among all people.  Reservations and breaking a community does not count as equality; it does, however, show the limits to which they will go in order to win an election.  Rahul baba and his trusted lieutenants have gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure a Hindu community is broken down into a multitude of factions.  When he's with Brahmins, he is a Janevdhari Brahmin; he's a hindu when it matters and a muslim with the muslim community.  Let's not even go to the Christian side as his mother is a practicing Christian. The current chief minister came to office with very high expectations from people; he has, however, shown little, if any, inclination to do anything other than what is good for his party. The corruption that exists in Karnataka probably doesn't exist anywhere else.  People have to pay for everything. At some point people will get disenchanted and look elsewhere.

That time has come now.

Unfortunately, caste based politics is nothing new to the state.  Even today, when we need sane thinking people, we have Gowdas voting ONLY for Gowdas (regardless of achievements), Lingayats voting ONLY for Lingayats (again with utter disregard for achievements) and the list goes on.  Does this really show a mature democracy? People fail to understand that one person getting elected to an office from one's community doesn't ensure the community's development.  Add to this the very biased media that projects their choice(s) as THE ONLY choice and you have a veritable conundrum of assumed political ideology! Ok, to dumb it down, we don’t know who to vote for because too many people are telling us too many things!

Tomorrow is a day that could spell the future of this wonderful state. On the one hand, we have development and futuristic thinking, on the other hand we have a regressive thought process that could hinder the people. Remember, development is all-inclusive and doesn’t know caste and creed, while regressive behavior impedes growth only because it is NOT all-inclusive but for a select few.

Make the choice that you think is right.  The future is in YOUR hands.

My Response to Sitram Yechury & Other Commies

My Response To Those Who Think Hinduism Is A Violent Religion Dear Reader, I don’t know about you but my feathers were ruffled when I read comments on Hindus, more specifically about Ramayana and Mahabharat.  This irked me to the point where I decided to challenge this mindset;    those that do believe this notion should prove to me the epics are an indication of a violent society.  These bourgeois left leaning “intellectuals” have obviously not read nor understood the two epics. This is my letter them.  Please let me know if you need any new additions to this letter. Dear bourgeois Intellectual, please buy the videos by Ramanand Sagar and Yash Chopra. Firstly, you’ll see,    that The Ramayana is a book about ridding the world of dushkarmis, people that propogate violence.  That you’d target this book tells me that you’ve not read one word of this book, so let me explain in words you probably understand.  Think of the Ramayana as the Hindu’s Red Book (Communist Book by Kar

Appeasement policies and the negative effects

While the policies geared towards minority appeasement thrive, let’s look at some of the effects these have had on India: 1. It has taken the Bharat out of India. It was once a thriving society that brought humanity to the world. It was Bharat. Today, we call it India. It doesn’t reflect the proud lineage that we have but, on the contrary, reflects what we have become after all the subjugation under the Moghuls and then the British. Our ancestors lived fearlessly in a society that believed in Equality For All; we live in fear! Fear that what we have today may not be there tomorrow, forgetting that the ultimate truth can not be avoided by anyone. 2. The once proud jewel of the east had so much to offer, apart from its riches. The knowledge that our ancestors had and imparted to their disciples is now recorded as mythology. Our kids are ready to believe that when Jesus walked, the sea parted; but ask how Lord Vishnu could really come down to earth in so many forms? The only one to bla

The Power Of The Indian Populace

The country is now in the middle of the election season. All parties are going about campaigning like their lives depended on it! And why not? For most of them, this could be the last time they contest any election, as a credible political party! The likes of JDS, TMC, DMK are probably on their way out! Before detractors scream bloody murder, I said PROBABLY. The only thing that these parties are afraid off is the evolution of the New India. Gone are the days when kids listened to their parents about who was good and who was not good for the country. My grand-father, may he Rest !n Peace, was a socialist at heart. On the other hand, my dad was a Sanghi and to his last day, a few weeks ago, remained one. I didn’t grow up as a sanghi (one of my regrets) but I understood what my father said more than I did my grand-father. Kids today are much more aware of the climate within the country, political, economic and otherwise. To tell them that the country is worse off now than it was fiv
