మారని బతుకులు ....to KCR

 జాగో జాగో అంటావు...బాగో బాగో అంటావు
రక్తం చిన్దిస్తానంటావు
పాణం అర్పిస్తానంటావు
తెలంగాణా బిడ్డనంటావు
పోరు బాట పడుత నంటావు...
 పీకుని గాని లెక్క ఎందేందో పీకుతునట్టావ్
మాపటేల అయ్యిందా ....మందుగొట్టి పడుకొంటావ్


పగటి కళలు కల్ల సూపి ..............బంగారు బవిత సూపి
ఉడుకురక్తం ఉసి గొల్పి,........................ పెదోల్లకు ఆశ చూపి
నీ పబ్బం గడుపుకుంటావు ........కోట్లు కోట్లు వెనకేస్తావు


మంత్రి పదవి లేదని తెలంగాణా ఎత్తినావు
కేంద్ర..... మంత్రి పదవి వచ్చి నంక దొరికిన కాడికి దోచుకున్నావు
 రాష్ట్రాన్ని దోచుకున్నావు, దేశాన్ని దోచుకున్నావు ...
తెలంగాణా వస్తే గనక నువ్వేంది సేస్తావో మా కాంత ఎరకలే ...
ఉన్నదంతా ఒడిసి పడతావు డబ్బులుఅన్ని మూట గడ్తవు
రాష్ట్రాన్ని తకట్టెట్టి............... మా బతుకుల్ని బదనం చేస్తావు ....


తెలంగాణా వస్తే నువ్వేమో రాజవుతావు ...నీ కొడుకేమో మంత్రయితాడు
మేమేమో కూలి మాయె........ మా  బతుకులేమి మారవులే
కష్టిస్తేనే కాసు వస్తది ....... మా నోట్లోకి బువ్వేల్తాది ....

గత సంవత్సర కాలం లో తెలంగాణా మరియు ఆంధ్ర గొడవల్లో నమోదయిన కేసులను ఎత్తివేయాలని అసెంబ్లీ లో MLA లు అందరు కలిసి ప్రభుత్వాన్ని కోరడమైనది. కేవలం గత సవత్సరం లో ఉన్న పరిస్తుతులకి మన రాష్ట్రము ఆర్ధికం గా ఎన్నో వేల కోట్ల నష్టాన్ని భరించవలసి వచ్చింది, పిల్లలు పాటశాల కి వెళ్ళలేక, ఆసుపత్రి లు మోసివేసి, ప్రభుత్వ ఆస్తులని ధ్వంసం చేసి, RTC బస్సులను కాల్చివేసి, ఆంధ్ర decent ఉన్న వారిని హింసించి, బలవంతంగా డబ్బులు వసూలు  చేసి....వీటన్నిటికి కారణమైన వారిని వదిలేయమని, వాళ్ళపై  కేసులు కొట్టివేయమని సిగ్గులేని MLA లు కోరుతుంటే, అది చట్టాన్ని ఉల్లంగించడం అవుతుంది అని దైర్యం గా  చెప్పే వారె లేకపోయారు.

Aryan Identity?

Few days back, I met a guy and we were talking about languages and stuff about India. After a while he said, he is an Aryan. I know what he meant by that. But for the sake of arguing, I asked what do you mean by that? He said, “I don’t know what it is, but only knows that we are Aryans”, I told him, Aryans is not something that you can identify yourself with, and it is not a race. He is a very good man and didn’t get angry on me and said ‘ohh ok, may be’.
I know lot of North Indians identify themselves as Aryans, Brahmins does it. But what most people doesn’t know is that Iranians (Iran) also identify them as Aryans, Germans does, Europeans does, Christians does, People from middle east does.. and many other does. So now who is really an Aryan? The concept of Arya/Aryan is huge and the term has been used in different ways in different contexts. I will try to take you through the times of history and see how the term Arya used over the time starting from Satya Yuga (Veda Kalam) to till date. By the end of the story you will feel the magnanimous weight associated with this word. May be Aryan is the most popular word of Sanskrit used by different other languages.

Arya is a Sanskrit word which means ‘Noble’. Lot other languages (Iran, Arab, English, Cambodian, German….) also has the word ‘Arya’, or ‘Aryan’ or ‘Arian’ in their usage, and they all might have derived it from mother Sanskrit. Vedas described, Arya as the name of one sect of people who are scholars and intelligent. After the Vedas, Ramayana in line mentioned Rama as an Aryan, and Maha Bharath mentioned many kings, saints, and scholars as Aryans based on their behavior, character and Nobelity. If we move out from India, Iranians called themselves as Aryans, and the Indo-Iranian languages are called Aryan languages. In the colonial period, British, to propagate the idea that the Europeans are superior, they came up with “Aryan Invasion theory”, which explains that Aryans in India are the people who migrated long back from Northern Europe. Later, this theory was proved wrong.

At the time of Hitler, the Aryan was seen as a pure race, and according to him, Germans are the Aryans and India and Germany have very close relations from ancient times. So according to him, along with some other, Indians are also Aryans. Whole Second World War took roots from Hitler’s idea of “Aryanization” (or he take advantage of the word Aryan for his political gains), and he ordered German army to kill all non-aryans (as per Hitler, Jews, blacks, cross races and some non Germans). “Aryan” even triggered the separatist movement to separate South India from North India. As North Indians called them selves as Aryans and South Indians identify themselves as Dravidians (*Dravidian got as big story as Aryan), after the independence Periyar Ramaswamy & Anna Durai of Tamil Nadu demanded to separate South Indian States from India and form a separate independent country called Dravida Nadu. I know some Christians call only the Christians as the real Aryans and if you can Google ‘Aryan’, you can find several missionaries run by different people with the name Aryan in them.
Starting with a sect of people at Vedas time, except Chinese and Africans, today all identify themselves as Aryans. Today everyone claims that they are the “Real” Aryans.

So,
From what I understand (I may be wrong, as the subject itself is very vast)
 Not all North Indians are Aryans
 Not all Brahmins are Aryans
 Not all whites are Aryans
 Not all Christians are Aryans
 Not all Europeans are Aryans
 Not all Iranians are Aryans
Literally speaking Aryan is not a race to identify one-self with it. Any noble person of any origin can be called as Aryan.

buffalo - The wild horns were cut

There was a farmer in a village and he has a buffalo that he is taking care of. Everyday, farmer goes to his farm, sits on a huge deep rooted tree monitoring the farm and come back to home with some good grass for the buffalo. With all the feeding buffalo gained good weight and turned strong. Framer felt very happy looking at the buffalo and he decorated the buffalo with steel horns, bells at the legs, flowers at the neck, clothing on top, colors on the forehead, etc., with all this the buffalo was looking strong, pretty and making sounds with its bells. Buffalo has become the buzz of the village and wherever it goes people started watching it. Buffalo after looking at the crowds and fan following of other buffalos, it felt herself very strong and supreme. This continued for a while but sadly one day the farmer died leaving the buffalo alone. People of the village were very sad and were sympathetic towards buffalo. Buffalo on the other hand worried for her grass. Buffalo thought if it can climb the tree before some one else does, it can have control on all the grass surrounded by the tree. Without realizing herself that she is only a buffalo and should only have to eat grass and cannot climb the tree with aggression, it started threatening the village to make her to get on to the tree. The head of the village laughed at buffalo’s foolishness and appointed another person to monitor from the tree. Buffalo was upset with this decision and started hitting the tree with its head. After several tries buffalo lost its horns and decoration while tree only lost some leafs out of it. Buffalo slowly walked away from the tree and is now planning to plant another tree so that it can climb the tree if it grows.

you are not really "you"

In my life till now, i associated with many people, experienced whole lot of situations, took decisions that made me to step up in my life and some hurt me. I cried, laughed, smiled, and confused. But what really makes oneself to act in a particular manner. I believe its his or her own character. If you look into yourself, you find many things/characters that you can not find in anybody around you and they are the ones that defines you.  I see people proudly saying, 'I am courageous' or ''I am a friendly' person or 'I am an A**H***'. But wait a minute, Are you really 'you' or you living with some body's soul in you. I don't know about others, but for my self I think, I am a mix or amalgamation of many others who influenced me, helped me to transform my self and impressed me to follow them literally. I believe this is true for all. I learned small small things from many people which helped me to mold myself and stand up as what I am now. I will give you an example, In my under-graduation, that was the time I slowly learning riding a bike and never ride bike on a main road. You know how bad and risky the Hyderabad roads were. I ride bike many times in the gullies of the city but I was extremely afraid and not at all confident to myself to get on to the main road. Once my friend and myself were going on a bike, i was sitting on the back. As usual, road is crowded with huge traffic of buses, trucks and bikes around me. It's night, We stopped at a traffic light. Suddenly my friend got down from the bike and kept the keys of his bike in my hands and asked me to drive. I was so afraid and shivering, and refused to do so. I was not starting the bike and he on the other hand wants me to drive the bike. He persisted even after the traffic piled up and horns targeted on us. I started the bike unwillingly, and he took the back seat. i don't even have a license by that time. For first few minutes, with all the mess and tension on the road, I terrified my self with my driving. But from the back seat, he was encouraging and gave the confidence to do it. That may be his character, but that impressed me. After this I know how many times I took inspiration from this and acted like him.
Once, I was so against to read anything, but I learned the fun of reading from some one, I learned how to act in different situations from some one, I even remember learning 'how to joke' from my friend, I learned how to behave from my parents, I learned how to show love from my sister, I experienced what is called 'innosence' from grand mother, I learned hardworking from my grandfather...and many many things from many many people. .......around me. After all these I cant say I am just myself but a mix of all who influenced me. I was molded by many people who impressed and inspired me.(impressions are those which your mind likely or dis likely remembers)
I take this opportunity to thank each and everyone who made me what I am now.

Youth Leader at the age of 40

No suspense No back route you know whom I am talking about, our " "future" " Prime Minsiter, Rahul Gandhi. I wonder how the leadership of Congress can call him Youth or youth leader at the age 40. Is it because he didn't marry yet..... Then may be BJP should think on it  and shall make Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee to be the youth president of BJP. Whole congresss and its loyalists trying hard to show case their doggy respect by projecting Rahul as the future PM. Why only him out of 1.2 Billion Indians? is it beacuse he is the son of Rajiv, ofcourse yes, but the answer that you listen often is 'CAPABLE YOUNG people should join politics'. 'Capable', India still don't know what his capabilities are. He is in politics for a long time, I didn't see him involving in any critical decision making, I didn't see him taking stand on any issues that we have seen over the years. If at all he talks about anything, he picks up some good slogans, "Poor should become rich", "India can only develop with inclusive growth", or attack BJP by linking with Saffron Terror. I don't know if any Saffron terror exists. But he never talked about real terror existed in India. He mastered in minor appeasement, vote bank speeches and slogans of poor. In him, I can't see any difference from other regular politicians.  So I can't see any future for India with him. Doesn't he need to prove to the people what he is before putting himself in PM candidature.
I afraid If congress can't get into power for next few terms, congress loyalists go extra mile and can portray him as "young" until he becomes PM.

For the sake of India: Let her be in Jail

She has only one goal...de stabilize the government and substitute the democracy with RED Power. She has several ways to criticize and oppose the government, either it be  BJP or Congress it doesn't matter. If Govt does 100 things she has 101 ways criticize them. She is none other than Arundhathi Roy.
She advocates mercy for naxals but sorry not for police, she supports the naxals outrageous attacks as self defense and police attacks as the brutal force attacks on the humanity, she can oppose the development in the name of tribe, and also can oppose the government if it chooses to do otherwise. Well till now I was thinking that she is a person with communist ideology and explained myself that there is no wrong in having different ideology. After all, I thought she is for the people and for the nation. But last week, sharing the table with Kashmir separatist groups, she supported the Azaadi Kashmir. She went on to say "Kashmir was never been a part of India and Indian govt is acting like a colonial power on kashmiri people". I now know that asking her to stand up for the integrity of the nation, is way too much to ask from her. After establishing this, I can only wish that she will be put in jail until she changes her path.

Population of India - Once a burden, is a crown now


During my childhood days, there was one argument, that I remember listening many times. It’s about the population of India and associating nation’s ill development to it. Scholars and illiterate had the same opinion on it. It was also a skipping point for politicians in questions relating development of the country; they simply answered ‘we are overpopulated’. Its true.

We had the history of scarcity of rice, wheat, goods, oil and lot…but we never had the scarcity of people. Indian Govt. tried extremely hard to put cap for the nation’s population growth so that economic growth of the nation can be seen. In 80’s, Sanjay Gandhi, the son of Indira Gandhi, even fell in the controversy of forceful vasectomies for men and sterilizing women. After 2 decades, I am listening to things like, India has the largest available man power, is the leader in service sector, the knowledge base is so vast, highest number of engineers, large number of English speaking people, and many other things. Now the development of India is associated with its population. The population that no body wanted turned out to be the focal reason for India’s growth. A liability of the nation became an asset.

I feel uncomfortable, if somebody attributes the success of India to the govt or for its policies. I am believe in that India developed merely because of its people but not because of its leaders after the independence. I am not saying, that the leaders/govt has done nothing, but the damage that they have done for the nation, and the missed opportunities for the nation makes their achievements obsolete. The people of India achieved miracles with skim or no support from the govt. When Narayan Murthy and his other friends started Infosys in 1980’s, the Govt. of India didn’t intervene in its operations as it doesn’t fall under core sectors (heavy industries like steel, manufacturing, engineering and essential goods were considered as core sectors). This is one thing Infosys always feel happy about. Almost all companies struggled or bankrupted with the Govt. policies. From the Independence till 1990’s, India struggled (/confused/ignorant) about the path to go forward (/path to development/policies) for development. But time has proved us, that growth engine of the nation is fueled by economic reforms and its man power. Well, now we know what can take us up, what kind of policies works for our nation, the problems and their solutions. With the advancement in the technology and knowledge with in India, India has the capability of solving any problem on its own. But what is worrying me is the leadership of the nation. They have best ideas, plans and the budget to spend on, but they are lacking the best delivery system. We sound great on papers and theory but nothing seems working on the ground. I remember an analogy, comparing Indian public delivery system with a huge pipe having equal sized holes. Money is not reaching down.  India is suffering with bureaucratic laziness, incapable middle-level leadership, no-transparency and no-accountability.

A wise man builds on his capabilities rather than merely thinking about his drawbacks. By knowing ‘Human Power’ is the center of the nation’s growth, any other country would have acted with fire in developing and better educating their human capital. For no surprise, in the era of fast paced time, Indian govt is showing its old laziness in implementing its basic ideas. I really hoped that the Right to education bill passes the Parliament. But never thought they wouldn’t introduce at all. Our GDP sounds great on whole terms, but if one looks deep into it, we ranked between 70 and 80 in education and health indexes. Without improving the education and health services in the nation, talking of human capital and becoming a developed nation will sound like a joke.

"A Million Dollar Question"

One day, I was walking in my university fields. It’s a busy ground and one can find hundreds of students at any time.  I saw two girls approaching me, I never saw them; they are young and pleasant. They stopped me and said “Hi, we will ask you a million dollar question, here is the million dollar (they gave me a fake million dollar note) and the question is ‘Do you ever feel guilty in your life.’ That’s an unexpected and uncommon question from an unknown person. I was looking puzzled, and said No, They continued, “did ever speak a lie, did you ever made some one feel bad, did you ever hurt someone…” , I said “yes I told some lies, but those might be the situation that I should tell lies”…they picked up .. and started “Speaking lies is a sin and you have enough reason to feel guilty about yourself…..and there is only ONE way to get cured and there is only ONE way you can still go to heaven (I am like, I am not dying today) … pray to the only GOD the REAL GOD Jesus. Come to the church and speak to him, tell him all your mistakes, he will forgive you and purify you.”……that’s what they told me. Ok. I believe what they say, but that’s not the way you approach some one that you don’t know, and speak something like that, I am shocked. They seems like, they wanted me to take to the Church right away…

I told them, I am a Hindu (Seems like they know nothing about it), and I have different beliefs, they stressed again that the Jesus is the only real GOD and he can only purify me”.  There point is that there god is THE only GOD and all others are not gods but myths.
I went to church with my friends, I prayed to Jesus just like I do it my millions of Gods……. But here they are forcing me, so, I thought I should speak to them. I asked them “How do you know that Jesus is the only God. Do you know of anyone other than Jesus, that different people trust in and follow? There answer is Muslim…..(except that ‘Muslim’ word, I think they don’t know about Prophet Mohammed or Allah, I think, even that word Muslim they would have known after 9/11…), I told them what we all often listen …“there are many beliefs and many gods for many people. People follow different paths to reach the same almighty, I tried if they heard of Allah or Ram, or Krishna or Buddha or about Sikhs and the answer is NO. They have no idea on the world or different people, they never tried to know, they always lived in there well.  I said “I trust that my religion is true and also, just like my religion other religions are true” (I just quoted what Mahatma Gandhi believed in). I am sure they have gone mad, they looking at me like ‘what the hell’.  And I walked away……….
Without knowing what I follow, knowing nothing about it, they want me to change….?
Hinduism always encouraged to think rational and to question. Through centuries, and as a part of culture, India accepted all religions, all people from different parts of the world and never forced the people to follow one religion. 

“What little I know I will tell you. So far as I can reason it out I will do so, but as to what I do not know I will simply tell you what the books say. It is wrong to believe blindly. You must exercise your own reason and judgment; you must practice, and see whether these things happen or not. Just as you would take up any other science, exactly in the same manner you should take up this science for study”….Swami Vivekananda

Historical mistakes of India "If India was once rich, Why are we poor now" -2

First, for those who do not agree that India is not poor, Please refer the census.

Every Indian is proud of India's history, culture, historical superiority in science and technology, rational thinking, olden days economy and living standards, vedic knowledge. Look at the India now, poor, irrational, money politics, doomed leaders, hanging behind the world success story. If we are so great in our past, why are we so poor now. With all the great setup in past we should have been the world leaders by now isn't it. There could be several reasons for this question. Reasons like, invasions, foreign ruling, British raj, diversity and can be more. But what is most important of all, what effected us most. Let us say we have no control on what happened before Independence and start looking after Independence. Before the colonial period, India's share of world economy was 17% and by the time we got our Independence its 2%.
We started at 2% in 1947. Nehru and Gandhi always dreamed of modern India, People of the country fought so hard to live in a free and prosperous India. After the Independence, People were overwhelmingly happy and completely trusted Nehru that he can bring back the India's glory.
Gandhi and Nehru have different opinions on the future policies of India or each visualized future India in different prospectives. Gandhi wanted to keep the village atmosphere of the nation and build the economy dependant on agriculture. He wanted the village to be a central peace of economy. he believed and dreamed of building self sufficient villages. Nehru on the other hand believed in industrial and modern India. Nehru was greatly inspired by the success of soviet union. Finally Nehru exercised what he believed in. Nehru came up with a new idea of Mixed Economy. Which comprises the best of capitalistic and socialistic ideas. The idea seems so interesting and feels like it came out only to succeed. But the history proved it wrong. The mixed economy has embraced the negative side of socialistic and capitalistic ideas.
Nehru introduced License Raj to effectively regulated  the Indian industries. The Indian industries and entrepreneurs get terrifies as soon as they hear "License Raj". It had such a devastating effect on India and on the companies. As per license raj, companies operating in India has to take license for each and every move/decision that they take for the company. it can be an expansion plan, it can be taking a new employee, it can be importing an equipment, it can be introducing a new product line....for each and every small thing that you do in your company should be granted license. The  taxation was between 50-70% based on what kind of industry it was. companies wasted year after year to get a single license and most of the application were rejected. No private companies should get into the large scale business like steel, manufacturing, agriculture, mining, aeronautics, defense, etc...TATA, Birla, Amabani were no exception. The giants also struggled to survive. After Nehru, Indira and up to some extent Rajiv continued these policies, even after they know that they are failing. With all these, Nehrus intention was to control the maximum share by the state and limiting private companies. But it turned out that both private and public companies failed to survive in these policies.
By 1990, from 2% of worlds economic share we ended up at 0.4%. Till now congress govt ruled the nation for 50 years. If India is poor I don't see any other party except congress to blame. Taking out the respect that I have on Nehru for his freedom struggle, Gandhis-Nehru family only ruined the nation.

I will write "PV Narasimha Rao - the greatest PM that India had ever seen" which comprises of the economic history of India from 1991.
I acknowledge the book "India Unbound" which helped me in comprehending the history.

Russia & America Then, China & India Now

After 7 decades from the time of World War II to current war of hacking, the world has changed alot. Russia and USA took the early train of 'industrial revolution' towards achieving their economic success, Countries like India, China and Brazil were little late but cached the 'information/manufcaturing revolution' flight. Being the fastest growing economies of the world India and China attracted the world and the countires are constantly obesrving both. Same with the world policy. India and China has beacme the central piece of thought in their policies. By noting all these and observing the recent moves by China and India, It reminds of the time when Russia and USA were in cold war and trying to rise against each other. USA and Russia's competition was neck to neck. In later case, China is an undisputed winner for now, as time goes this can be exactly compared with cold war.
Now, the socio economic gravity has been shifted from USA-Russia to India-China. The leaders of India and China, on top of the pyramid trying hard to counter each other. After the astonishing success of ISRO's moon machine and several other satellite machines, China stepped up and announced several moon programs including man based moon launching by 2025. This shows the increasing competition between India and China and its going to increase further in coming years.
India on other hand also trying to modernize its army and increased the defense budget to counter or match with its neighbors. Both countries changed their foreign policies to engage more with the countries against to their counter parts. India is increasing its ties with Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia..etc and China on other hand increasing its ties with Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar etc. The strategy is more similar to the kind of strategy USA and Russia followed over the years.
Competition in all sense is good for improvement, but I am afraid that, China with its strong bureaucracy and funds may win this battle. I wish and hope India directs all its strengths for the purpose of improving the nation there by keeping its morale high.

Historical mistakes of India -1

Every body does mistakes. If you are an individual, no body cares what you do, and it doesn't effect anybody except you or some. What if the same person sitting in the PM chair or CM chair and does the mistakes, it will effect the entire nation. I am thinking of the mistakes that we(India) regret for, The mistakes that affected the nation, the mistakes that, if were not happened, we would have been in a better shape......

Since we are all in the moods of Kashmir, Lets see what single mistake by which single person led to the situation that we are seeing today....
Do you all remember the map of Kashmir , printed by Indian printing companies, its looks like this isn't it.
The Jammu& Kashmir that you are looking is not all controlled by India. 30% of it occupied by Pakistan and 10% by China and 5% given by Pakistan to China as a gift (Yes, Our land, given by Pak to China as a gift...). I was depressed a lot the first time I came to know about this. Now I know its a fact and need to live with it.  The present Kashmir is like this

You see now, what India can print, If it needs to print it for real. Its been the problem for 60 years and we couldn't solve the problem. Now we are threatened to lose the remaining part of Kashmir. If I go back to the story of Kashmir..
Its in 1947, India got its independence, Kashmir was a princely state.  The king of Kashmir hasn't not decided whether to join with Pakistan or India. During this period Pakistan encouraged and helped the tribes of Kashmir to go for a war against the raja of Kashmir, Maharaja, Singh. He sought India's help to fight back and agreed to the condition to keep Kashmir as an integral part of India. With this agreement, The Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Ordered the Indian army to recapture the Kashmir occupied by tribes and Pakistan. Indian army performed extremely superb and captured most of the PAK occupied Kashmir and progressing. In these circumstances, UN ordered both countries to siege fire and withdraw forces from the disputed land. As per UN's request, India (or)Nehru decided to not move any further, but PAK rejected to withdraw. 
If we would have let the army free, we would have captured remaining Kashmir and parts of Pakistan if needed. Here my intention is not to capture Pakistan, but you know how deep we can get into the land.
From then, till now, we are not the real controllers of our whole Kashmir (though we show it in our maps). China on other hand was even more dangerous. In 1950s It captured Aksai chin from east, and it took almost 10 years for the Govt of India to know that its not in our control anymore. Jawaharlal Nehru was the PM for this period as well.

I cannot really understand, being in the most responsible position, how could he order the army to not move any further. we are not war-wishers, but we lost our pride along with Kashmir. And China, by that time, captured Tibet and claimed Taiwan, how could Nehru over trust China. With his wrong decision we lost Aksai Chin as well.
The consequences that we are facing
1)We lost control on the second largest peak on earth K2.
2) We are now more prone to China and Pakistan.
3)We lost control on some of the rivers originating from Kashmir.
4)Pakistan gained direct access to china and China got direct access to Pakistan and Hindu ocean through Pakistan. You understand how serious is this for the security of India5) We lost direct(through land, and No access via water bcaz they are landlocked) access to Afghanistan and Tajakisthan. This is preventing us to access plentyfull natural resouces in those countrys
6)Above all we lost the Jewel of bhartah matha...

Kashmiris are Indians

Day after day Kashmir is becoming increasingly complex. From past 3 months, we are listening about the riots of varying intensities. According to media reports, till now 72 people died and several hundred injured.
I see the reasons for the problem have multidimensional edges and the solutions should be multidimensional as well. There are separatist groups backed by Pakistan and deriving motivation from the greed of power and popularity. These groups are driving the people to fight hard against the government. For security reasons, The Government of India till now looked at the Kashmir just an important part of India but never thought enough to do best for the people of Kashmir. The government also failed to control mass killing of kashmiri pandits in 90’s , which resulted in losing faith among pandits and gave enough boost for separatists.
In Kashmir the situation is extremely volatile and no body knows when violence erupts. We are seeing all kinds of activities like stone pelting, breaking glasses, breaking vehicles, putting up fire, attacking govt officials and office buildings and shouting slogans like “go back India” and “azadi Kashmir”. With all this are they (separatists) expecting that they what they wanted (Azadi Kashmir). It’s not just a land to give up by the govt of India or by the people of India.
By considering the violence that is and was happening over the years, the suppression, human right violations, super powers of armed forces, etc.. I can understand the agitation of Kashmiris. In a democracy and in a multiparty system we cannot stop people from expressing their feelings.
I am disappointed by the response that India and Indian people gave to the Kashmir riots. Indian politicians are observing things silently from the back bench. Don’t we need to tell the people of Kashmir, who are a part of India and are Indians, that we care for them and we listen to them. Arundhati Roy speaks for ruthless Naxals, Communists speaks for pointless ideologies and for labor, BJP speaks for Hindutva and congress speaks for “gareeb”, who are speaking for the development of Kashmir and for the Kashmiri people. By the way, I am not proposing that we should support for Azaadi.
Right now the people of Kashmir are driven by extreme emotions. They are not sure what after Azadi what they achieve with azadi and how that is going to effect the valley. In this situation merely announcing an economic package by Govt will not yield any result.
1) I think, all the political parties of India should join to organize a peace rally to Kashmir to support them and to spread word that we care them and listens to them. This will help in building trust on India, and also helps to calm down the situation little bit.
2) The young are the most affected of Kashmir. All the schools were closed. Children were restricted by fears. Parents are worried about their future. Indian govt should facilitate and fund the children to join any of the schools in any part of India that they wish. This is in fact an opportunity for the government of India to dislocate the kashmiris to different parts of India and in keeping away the young from violence.
3) The youth of the state are suffering from serious scarcity of jobs. Doesn’t they need reservations to get jobs in the state owned companies. Though I am against to reservations, by considering the fact that we provide reservations on the basis of caste by taking no consideration of their wealth, and on the basis of gender, on the basis of religion etc., I am convinced that kashmiris needs reservation.
4) Huge developmental funding is needed in the border villages to ensure India’s power, sovereignty and administration in the valley. This is the same strategy used successfully by China in Tibet and LAC, Pakistan in POK. India should consider this with more vigor.
Spreading the Kashmir population across the country, efforts to increase hindu and budhist population in the valley, and importantly linking the areas with development, problems can be smoothed in the future. Its very important for the nation to act quickly on Kashmir to keep India as one nation.

చైనా మరియు భారత్ విదేశీ వ్యవహారాలు

ఇండియా చైనా సంబంధాలు ఆ రెండు దేశాలకే పరిమితమైన అంశం కాదు. ఈ రెండు దేశాల మధ్య వాతావరణం ఆసియా మొత్తాన్ని ప్రభావితం చేయగల శక్తి ఉంది. చైనా మొదటి నుండి అత్యంత కట్టినమైన మరియు దూకుడు ధోరణి అవలంభిస్తూ వస్తుంది. ఈ వయకరి చైనా కి ఒక బలవంతమైన దేశం గా ఎంతః లాబం చేకూర్చిందో ప్రపంచ దేశాల మధ్య అంతే చెడ్డ పేరుని కూడగట్టుకుంది. ప్రపంచం మొత్తం చైనా ని అనుమానపు కళ్ళతో చూస్తుంది. ముక్యంగా చైనా నవికదల విస్తరణ, దక్షిణ ఆసియా మరియు హిందూ మహా సముద్రం లో పెంచుకుంటున్న తన పట్టు, బాల్టిస్తాన్ లో పాకిస్తాన్ మరియు చైనా కలిసి సాగిస్తున్న పనులు భారత దేశానికి కంటి మీద కునుకు లేకుండా చేస్తున్నాయి.
ఇటువంటి పరిస్థితుల్లో జమ్మూ&కాశ్మీర్ లో తన భాధ్యతలు నిర్వహిస్తున్న అర్మి జనరల్ కి చైనా వీసా నిరాకరణ పరిస్థితిని మరింతః జటిలం చేసాయి. జమ్మూ & కాశ్మీర్ ని భారత్ లో అంతర్బాగంగా గుర్తించని చైనా, పీ.ఓ.కే & ఎల్.ఏ.సి భూభాగం లో యుధ ప్రాతిపదికిన అభివ్రుది కర్యకార్మలు చేపడుతు భరథ్ పై పై చెయ్యి సాధిస్తుంది. ఒక పక్కపాకిస్తాన్ కి సహాయపడుతూ, భారత్ వ్యతిరేక కార్యకలాపాలు ప్రాణం పోస్తూ వస్తుంది.
ఇటువంటి పరిస్థితుల్లో భారత తన విదేశంగా విదానం లో సమూల మార్పులు చేయవలసిన అవసరం కనిపిస్తుంది. భారతః తన మేతఃక వైకరిని వీడకపోతే, చరిత్ర కోల్పోయిన కాశ్మీర్ కంటే మరెంతో ఎక్కువ నష్టం కలిగేసూచనలు కనిపిస్తున్నాయి. కాశ్మీర్ మరియు అరుణాచల ప్రదేశ్ లను భరత్ లో అంతర్భాగాగం గ చైనా గుర్తిన్చనప్పటికి ఇండియా తొందరపాటు ధోరణి తో, తైవాన్ మరియు టిబెట్ ను చైనా లో అంతర్బగాగం గుర్తిమ్పునిచిన్ధీ. మనం చైనా అనుకూల నిర్ణయాలు తీసుకుంటున్నపుడు అటు వైపు నుండి కూడా అవే సంకేతాలు అందనప్పుడు మనం మరొక్కసారి మన నిర్ణయాలను పునరాలోచించుకోవాల్సి ఉంది.
౧) చైనా ఏ విధంగా అయితే భారత్ ని నిలువరించడానికి పాక్ తో సత్సంభండలు కొనసాగిస్తుందో, అదేవిధం గ భారత్ మరియు తైవాన్ మరియు ఇతర దక్షిణ, మధ్య ఆసియా దేశాలతో సంభంధాలని మెరుగు పరుచుకోవాల్సిన అవసరం ఉంది.
౨) చైనా దూకుడు వైకరిని, ఆయుధ వ్యాప్తిని ఎండగడుతూ ఆసియా దేశాల అంతరంగిక సదస్సులో చర్కాహాలు జరపవలసి ఉంది.
౩) చైనా కరెన్సీ పైన తన నియంత్రణ అఎతివేసేవరకు, భారత్ మరియు ఇతర ప్రపంచ దేశాలు కలిసి చైనా ను ఇరకాటం లో పెట్టావాలాసిన అవసరం ఉంది. ఇది భారత్ కి మరియు అభివ్రుది చెందుతున్న దేశాలకు ఉపయోగ కరంగా ఉంటుంది.
ఇవన్ని చేస్తూ భారత్ చైనా తో సత్సంభంధాలు కొంసగంచిల్సిన అవసరమ ఇరు దేశాలకు ఉంది.
