Is India Sustainable?

The below article is a grim representation of how un-sustainable, the current Urbanisation model has become.  This is true for all Metros, which constitute the india.

There are many people who are very much concerned and want a solution.  They dont understand the root cause.

A brief historical background to understand the current situation:

Prior to british colonisation, the various ruling classes of india created gramas and Nagaras by clearing forests, and building sustainbale resources. These resources were administered by descendants of the ruler who created the village.

During 1947, the britishers handed over the power to the English Educated Indians, who lived by serving Colonial Institutions.  Being indoctrinated in western values, and cut off from their roots, when these people sat down to write a constitution, the focus was ONLY

Intercaste marriage – Social Justice or Social Bastardization

Today saw this TOI news about increase of incentive for Inter-caste marriage couples from 25000 to 75000.    The stated purpose is to increase the number of inter-caste marriages, particularly b/w SC and Upper castes, in the name of social justice.

This is NOT social justice.  But Social Prostitution.  More accurately, the social bastardization.   Every community (including jathis categorized as SC by colonial govt)  have their own historical/traditional system of marriage patterns, where they have certain preferences of whom to marry and whom to NOT marry. This is called Kinships.

This is what gives each community a moral legitimacy and identity.  This is like chastity for a woman.

When a government indulges in such inter-caste marriages, it is like giving incentives for a

Subramanya Swamys wrong understanding of Muslims Identity

The speech by Subramanya swamy in the Global Patriotic Conference at mumbai (part-1  & part-2) is excellent and wonderful as usual (typical of Swamy).  The meeting was held last sunday (21st april, 2013), at mumbai.

While i agree with various topics he covered, i have particularly two issues that i am sure he is wrong.

• The issue of how to deal with Muslims of India.
• His example of Israeli Cow and his dream of making every indian cow like it.  ( i will write about this later)

Muslims and their identities:

For past 100 years, we have been trained (at academic circle, media etc) to see people based on religion, and that’s how our constitution is also made.  The partition has left a deep impact on us, that we are unable to comprehend the muslim society and their structure.  (Ofcourse, we have not understood our own “So called” hindu social fabric).

No one was able to figure out how to deal with muslims of

Hinduism Calls For An Armed And Vigilant Society

Hindu society was highly militarised, even at the basic level.  Every village, and samasthanam had armed force.  Thats the reason, the islamic invasion was successfully resisted for 1000s of years.

After British Domination, they completely banned the right to bear arms, and systematically destroyed gun powder production and arms manufacture.  During the polygar wars in tamilnadu, which was the last resistance to be crushed by colonial britishers, the artillery and guns were manufactured locally.

Once the right to bear arms was forcibly confiscated, our society has been heavily exploited by the Colonial Machinery, even to this date. The urban anglicised India, inheriting these colonial institutions as it is, has continued the same colonial exploitation of the traditional bharat.   The violent suppression of farmers protest across india, the POSCO land acquision from unarmed tribals, the recent laying of pipe by gail authorities are some instant references that i could cite.

We cannot deny that the police department was still seen with hostility to the general population.  The common people still have a view that the police department is trying to protect criminals rather than punish them.

The naxalism gets public support across india, partly for the reason that they serve as a counter force to excess police atrocities.

The below article is written by Tatya Tope, the great grandson of Tantiya Tope, and he puts forth a different and historical perspective here.

A letter from the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) to President Barack Obama proposing new gun control laws claims to be a message containing the Hindu viewpoint. As a person whose ancestor, Tatya Tope, took up arms and died fighting English oppression while leading the Anglo-Indian war of 1857, I find HAF’s proposals not only offensive to me as an individual, but also a deliberate and mischievous interpretation of Hindu thought, teachings, and experience in order to advance its political objectives. After the 1857 war, the English created laws to disarm the Indian population. Writing in his autobiography, M. K. Gandhi termed this disarming of India as the blackest misdeed perpetrated by the English.

Can English Educated Brahmins be Dharmic ?

I am posting this particular comment of Raghavan Srinivasan as separate post. He has beautifully explained how english educated brahmins drifted away from dharma..

I have no idea about brahmins or anti-brahmin sentiments in parts of India other than Tamilnadu. I am but a frog croaking from my Tamilnadu well and can speak from that limited perspective only! At the risk of repetition kindly allow me to suggest a few clarifications.

I agree that it was indeed the British who were the primary villains in undermining Indian society. I also agree that the brahmins did not side with the British with the intent of maliciously oppressing others. The British ruled India with the idea of looting its riches. They rearranged the Indian society to cement their hold on the country and facilitate transfer of wealth to Britain. It was plain loot and the entire society became impoverished in the process. Some brahmins also realized the error of fraternizing British institutions and participated in the freedom struggle. All said and done, the brahmins, by falling into that trap set by the British, (knowingly or unknowingly) became

Dubashi Brahmins and Vaidiha Brahmins

Around four years back, when i wrote this post about India before britishers, based on Dharampal’s findings,  there was a pingback to this post from tamilbrahmins.com site.  Tracing back, i found a person, scolding me as unabashed casteists, in one of their discussion. When I took this matter to admin of the tamilbrahmins.com,  he invited me to join and debate there.  I accepted his invitation and had intense debate with them. I had put forward so many proofs for my point on how we were developed and how britishers destroyed everything.   Even A separate thread was started exclusively for this discussion.

The whole experience of debating with them, gave me a newer understanding and newer perspectives.  I particularly observed, that all those who debated in tamilbrahmins.com were english educated, and working in corporate world.  The normal vaidiha brahmins, who live as priests, gurukkal, dikshithars, purohithars, and in veda patashalas, are NOT part of this group.   But the brahmin identity is commonly used by both these section, which is where the confusion starts. Hence i started to differentiate b/w the two, one as Dubashi Brahmins, and the other as Vaidiha Brahmins.

The dubashi brahmins, can further be classified in two.

HR Corruption in IT companies – exposed

When i saw this News that IT companies are Joining Anti-Corruption forum, i was laughing myself.  Because, the corruption within them, are NO more a secret.

One of the biggest corruption, or should i say, the bribery, is happening in the HR and recruitment department.

The sudden rise in number of engineering colleges, had led to intense competition to attract students.  The campus recruitment is the biggest factor that students use for selecting a college.  They want a job assurance after the course they take.
