Intolerantely Tolerant Hindu

Intolerance has been the word that is on everyone's lips for the past few months. The people propagating it have made sure that the name of India is tarnished in front of the world. First it was fear mongering among the Muslims, then "Christians under attack". After that there have been slew of incidents: "Dadri", "Rohit Vemula" and the current incident of "JNU". The media have played its part in making a mountain out of a mole-hill. Even the President of America is concerned for the minorities in India. That the minorities in USA are facing so many racial abuses and hatred is altogether a different matter.

The sudden growth of the word intolerance started in May 2014 when for the first time in independent India a single non-congress party won a majority and formed a government at the centre.This fact was hard to digest for a lot of Secular (many like to call them "Sickular" though) people who wanted the corrupt congress government to come back to power. Now secularism is not a bad thing, however, the definition of secularism for this people is anything which is anti-Hindu and everything else is communal.These are the people who after every terrorist attack keep saying that "Terror has no religion", but are quick to term RSS workers as "Hindu terrorists".

They keep abusing Modi, BJP and RSS for petty issues which would make us think that they are anti-Modi, but if you look closer you will see that it's more anti-Hindu. They compare RSS with ISIS, BJP with Nazi, and Modi with Hitler. Congress government have always given these people free rein in doing anti-Hindu activities by giving them incentives and a place in Lutyens. Please read the blog post by clicking on the image and understand the gravity of the current situation.

Now we have a government who does not entertain these leeches. The people of this country have started to call their bluff. These people never expected Hindu's to fight back. The tolerance of Hindu's made these Sickulars such a danger to our country. And now the Hindu's stand up to these intellectuals and started beating them in their own game. That is the real intolerance for them.

Hindu's have always been tolerant and that is a known fact. The proof of that is the growing number of Muslims in India.

 

Compare the same with Pakistan and Bangladesh and you will see what happens when majority become intolerant.

Hinduism has survived for so long is because of its tolerance and an all inclusive nature. Hindu's who live in any corner of the world will adapt to the culture of that place. However, that is not the case with certain other religions.

The tolerance of Hindu's have been interpreted as cowardice and hence the blatant anti-Hindu activities  taking place in India. The latest episode of the same being showcased in JNU where raising anti-national slogans, abusing Hindu God's like Durga, copies of Manusmriti burned are termed as progressive thinking and a right under Freedom of Expression (FoE). However, the same FoE is not extended for anything else other than anti-Hindu activities.

Hindu's need to guard against such people. They need to teach their kids about Hinduism before they learn the distorted version from someone else. In a time where most religion are asserting themselves, Hindu's should not abandon their own just because they are not well versed with it. There is a rich heritage behind Hinduism, it is the the oldest surviving religion in the world. It will make you love all living and non-living things. And last but not the least, it will teach you how to be Tolerant.

Reservation, Politics, DESTRUCTION!!!

The violence and destruction that we are seeing in Haryana caused by the agitating Jat's seems to be timed to perfection. The horrific violence that was unleashed has even taken the current government by surprise. And they use this as an explanation for such inept handling of the situation.

Jat's have been demanding reservation from quite a long time, but why are they violently agitating now? I kept pondering over the question when I came across this:

                                 

Further to this, the article also mentions how shops owned by Jat's have been spared and those of non-Jat's been looted and demolished. How they spared the CM's residence and attacked those of BJP minister's.

The overall damage that this agitation has caused is estimated to be around Rs. 34,000 crores. This figure seems right as along with the destruction of tangible (public property, shops, houses, etc), we should also estimate the intangible (loss in business due to curfew).

The ruling party in the state, BJP, could have shown a little more urgency in clamping this agitation down before it turned into a huge mess. Of course they had Jat reservation in their manifesto and now are finding themselves in a tight spot. Its an altogether different matter that the Supreme Court has already rejected the same when the previous government tried to include Jat's in the 27% OBC quota.

Another thing that the BJP government failed to do is to take this opportunity and nail congress party as chief instigator of violence in this country. People should know of this in some way as currently the media seems oblivious to this and are busy blaming our PM Modi.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness

PM Modi's initiative "Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan" has got the whole of India talking about cleanliness. Its not like we did not know about cleanliness, however, we collectively have conditioned ourselves to turn a blind eye to filth that's filling this country up. Every major city has the problem of garbage collection and disposal. We feel that we are not responsible for this problem, its governments job to clean it up. This attitude is the sole reason for the pathetic condition that we are finding ourselves in.

When the initiative was launched, many celebrities including our PM where seen with a broom in hand cleaning a small area. Many people watching it on TV were smugly smiling and saying "Bah, this is just for publicity, our country will never change". And I absolutely agree with this sentiment. With this attitude, there will never be a change in this country. Cleaning behind us is not governments job. Its our responsibility to not throw garbage anywhere but in the dustbin.

Let me tell you a story that happened recently. I was coming back from office and was waiting for my train. A guy comes forward and throws that semi-empty water bottle on the tracks. Nobody says anything, so I muster up courage and ask him "Why are you throwing it on the tracks?" and he replies, "There's no dustbin around.". I show him the dustbin that's right behind him and he sheepishly smiles and says, "Aadat hai"  (Its habitual).

Now there are many more incidents that happen in a local train. People eating fruits and throwing waste under the seat or outside the train. Spitting at each and every halt that the train makes. I try to stop people from doing this, few agree with me, few ignore me and then there are few who say "Whats the problem with you, if you want it clean, you clean".

Even when there's a dustbin in sight, people cant even walk to it. Are we that lazy. Do we want dustbins every 10 meters or so? If somehow the arduous journey is made, we will not go near it but try to throw the garbage from a distance which more often than not ends up falling outside the bin. "Close enough". Well not exactly. Just walk a few more steps and throw it right inside the bin.


Its easy to blame the government for all things that are wrong with the country. And its our right too. However, first we need to do our duty as a citizen of this country. I am not saying that we go out there and start cleaning. There are a bunch of people who do that and if you would like to contribute, that would be great. I know of one such group which is active in Delhi area. In case of more information, you can follow their twitter handle @_WeMeanToClean

Let us pledge that we will throw garbage in dustbins. Even when we don't see one in sight, we will collect it in a plastic bag and throw it later. Educate someone who you see not doing the same. Yes, you might get some angry response, but still the seed would be sown in his mind and he might start thinking over it.

Its not a big thing to do. However, if we all do it collectively, it will have a huge impact on the society. Lets start a revolution and make this country clean.

Frustrated, Angry and Sad

The title sums up how I am feeling for the past couple of days. The JNU incident has really rattled me. But what is more saddening is the way politics was played over it.

What happened was not right. Freedom of speech does not give anyone rights to raise anti-national slogans. That is sedition and should be dealt accordingly. Protesting against hanging of Afzal Guru or Yakub Menon  is tolerable as it is the right of an individual to express ones opinion. However, abusing the same rights given by the Indian constitution and shouting against the nation is intolerable.

From where do these guys gather this much hatred? These students  are the future of this country. They are well read and highly educated, then why are they behaving like this? Are the professors of JNU inciting these young minds? Do these educated minds just sway to the left based on hearsay or do they have solid proof? These questions should be answered first before taking any decision on their future.


I feel instead of arresting them, we should talk to them, understand what is causing this hatred. Counseling them would be a better option. However, after all this is done, they should still be monitored. If they are caught again on similar charges, they should be tried in a court of law.

Now coming to the title, what happened in JNU did not make me frustrated or angry or sad, but what happened after that made me. Politicians of different parties who don't like the current government have started playing their appeasement game. Not a single one of them criticized the hate-spewing students but started abusing the government and the local police. Instead of strongly condemning, they started supporting the students (and not in a constructive way).

I know the current government is not flawless. But that does not mean the opposition will side with anybody that this government is opposing. Opposition should work with the government for betterment of this country and its people. Stop vote-bank politics and lets start winning elections based on good governance and inclusive growth. Stop spreading hatred and start spreading love.

Theory of Everything: A step towards understanding the mind of God!!! Part 1

Scientists have long been trying to unify all the theories currently present and to make Theory of Everything (TOE). With this theory, we will be able to understand the working of this universe and predict the outcome of any experiments carried out in principle.

Basically they are trying to unify the 4 forces of nature:
1) Gravitational 
2) Electromagnetism
3) Weak Interaction
4) Strong Interaction

Rooting samsung galaxy 3

Last time I had told you how I had installed froyo on my cell. Today, I will tell you how I rooted it.

Rooting is the process wherein you get access to system folders. In Unix terms, to get root level access. Once rooted, you can play with the system files. If you are not good in this, please don't try as it may brick your phone and nullify your warranty.

Now, I have warned you, but if you still want to continue, then follow the link which gives step-by-step guide for this:

Installed Froyo (Android 2.2) on my samsung i5801 (galaxy 3)

We all know what a good phone samsung i5801 (aka samsung galaxy 3) is. For the price it is selling, its a good buy. Apart from the low res screen (which is not that of a hindrance, unless you have used high res screens before), all other features are good. It can even play Divx/Xvid videos out of the box.

The only thing which it was lacking was the froyo update. Lots of new phones in the same price bracket has been released with Froyo along with the old ones who have got the official update. Now thats not cool.
