#08: Indian Secularism.

The post I’m going to write about, lead me to the question that do we really have secularists? If we are in India, I guess… NO.

If you’re from a major community and honor your religion, you’re an extremist. But if you belong to a minor community and showing love for your religion, it’s a personal matter of individual. Welcome to the world of Indian Secularism, rather you say it the world of hypocrisy.

Question isn’t how we are taking it. (We are used to let go these things anyway.) Question is where is it leading us? The so called leaders, feeling proud for being called secularist, are really oxidizing the base metal of the country. Despite of people have started understanding these, problem arises due to ineffectiveness of people to take a stand.

A man is afraid to say something under the fear of being called extremist and everyone starts playing “naro va, kunjaro va…” way. This won’t solve the purpose. It’s not matter of majority or minority, its matter of truth. Right can’t be wrong and wrong can’t be right. If it is so, why people are afraid of saying it publicly? No one is ready to turn the cards first. And that’s what had led us in current dilemma. Though sometimes, apart from fear of one’s image there is another fear of losing vote bank. Why it is so? I’ll never believe that Indians are not smart enough to recognize the face behind the mask.

Indeed, we need one more Sardar patel back in India. But the problem is everyone is waiting for someone to become like him, no one is ready to jump into. Krishna said in Gita “tadatmanam srujamyaham and sambhavami yuge yuge”, and we, taking it for granted, are still waiting for his advent. Don’t wait… He wants to advent in our heart; just we’ve kept our door closed.

Don’t afraid on being alone. Do remember. “Behind every revolution, there’s always only one man.” Start a new day today. Speak up. Don’t let some hypocrite leader make a distance between you and your neighbor of another religion. Time is to unite now. Time is to define the real secularism. Time is to build a joyful secular India.

Written in the name of “Sarva-dharma Sam-bhav…” Let’s wish to live this motto in real terms soon. Amen, Tathastu. – DJ.

#21: Blank Pages

You can perhaps rewrite your destiny… but never on paper. (Unless you are using a pencil, but no one likes to write his/her destiny with pencil. All opt for darkest marker to make sure that their written can’t be erased.) So, when there’s something already written on your page, either you have to strikethrough it (Check-chak in Gujarati) which will waste and make your current and future writing both unreadable or just you have to go for… Blank Pages…! Hope you have got the point of order, coz I hate elaborate the matters that should have been sensed. Still with no other option (the truth is I have to make the article long enough for consideration) I am going ahead with the stated idea, coz you never know when An Idea may change your life. Life always runs in a single direction. There’s nothing like coming back. When you travel to point B from A, you never return to point A. You just actually travel once again from point B to A. In the above manner, after performing an act of writin...

#24: Case 7492_Elvira's Premonition of Death. Part I

“Weekends are as refreshing as white sand beaches here.” Henry said while gearing car to the top gear. Traffic was not much on highway because of late night. They were driving back from Rostock to Munich. “We never have weekends Henry.” Derick replied with his heavy voice. “Some jobs aren’t time lined and we should respect that thing. Doctors, Fire fighters, Police all are sort of…” By the time his cell rang. “Mr. Jefferson…” A girl was there another side. “Elvira…” Derick identified her voice vacillating. “You seem tensed.” “I just had a premonition Mr. Jefferson.” She said reluctantly. “I had seen my death.” “What…?” Derick couldn’t believed his ears. “Elvira…” “I know it’s difficult to hear what I’m saying.” She said. “But someone gonna kill me tonight. I had seen my death in front of my eyes, my last premonition ever…” “Don’t panic Elvira.” Derick said. “We have just left from Rostock so will be there tomorrow morning but I’m calling Alfred. He’ll be ...

#07: Raajneeti - A safe game by Jha.

Ath Sri Mahabharat Katha… Has another awaited and anticipated to become a blockbuster movie stand on Prakash Jha standards? May be, may not be… Six times national award winner Prakash Jha had crafted the modern Mahabharat named Raajneeti. Though viewers had expected to watch current Indian politics, Prakash Jha, unlike his earlier movies, played safe this time and portrayed the Indian epic. A kind of right casting for the roles of Duryodhan, Karna, Arjuna or Krishna, but in the name of success he overplayed Arjuna against Krishna. Ranbir, being more popular amongst youth, was given more importance in the movie than Nana patekar to overturn the rules of politics. Arjun (Rampal) was possessing character of Angry Bhima more than the given one of Yudhishthira. Katrina’s character would have become stronger in the end if she had not played Draupadi in the first half. Though unlike Sarkar or Sarkar Raj showing current political dilemma, Raajneeti still is a good option to turn back in the...
