India is the worst affected nation when it comes to terrorism and awfully appalling repercussions are unprecedented. It is more than 2 decades since the apocalyptic curse reverberated in our motherland. We have always been peace lovers, but this time we were more of impotent and unconcerned. India has always been generous in helping neighbors. Pakistan is no less than a tumor for this world, how could it have been better for India. We were always breached and daggered right at back. Likewise, we only liberated Bangladesh from the shackles of persecution, only to crumble any future hopes of getting a reliable ally. Latest to join the league is Nepal. Anti India sentiment in Nepal is an open secret and we can only see it shaking hands with China
Recent Mumbai terror attacks shattered all tall claims of security. When we are unable to provide security to our guests how can we think of protecting a common man? Problems in India can never be compared with any other nation because of its multi cultural composition. There have been continual analyses over this crisis. Some claimed that it is because of Jihad theory in Islam and some asserted that it is because of miserable socio economic of various sections. Some affirmed that all terrorists have same religion and some emphasized that terrorism has no religion at all. These debates are never going to end as neither side is willing to scrutinize root problems and accept to change and thanks to politics as well for aggravating these issues.
As responsible educated youths we need to emerge with cogent solutions. Politics is destroying this nation and we need to end the inherent insipidity. I am not here to motivate my friends to join politics or army. These days I came across a few concerned nationalists(on TV) who shared some pragmatic solutions to overcome this problem of terrorism without any communal bias. These solutions intend to ignite a voice to an extent that it becomes a popular mandate.
1. Be it Naxalites, separatists or militants; politicians have surreptitiously buoyed them. Dividing the Indian masses on religious/caste/regional/cultural lines is no longer a facile approach, fecund political parties are a threat and none has considerations with the interest of nation. Time has reaped when we should raise our voice for a Dual party system. When a party would have to contest on national basis, regional biases would terminate. No longer would there be Raj thackrey and no longer there would be trifurcated mandates and consequential purchase of representatives. We should all pledge and strive to bring this issue to the notice of everyone, raise it through proper channels and in future if any party promises to come up with similar agenda, we would all vote for this cause.
2. As it has been proved that terrorism has got no religion, why not to go for this one. We all are aware of the fidayeen attacks where the suicide bombers explode themselves. Our warriors our brave enough to apprehend some terror elements as well. Let’s go for a law which talks of burial of killed terrorists by any ritual other than Islamic. Be it Buddhist, Sikh or Hindu way of cremation, it doesn’t matter. What we have to make sure is that all terrorists coming from Pakistan who claim that they are going to get jannat by such heinous act should not be buried as described in Islam. This act would deter all those who defame Islam and would also defy all so called religious efforts to get jannat. Fanatically devout terrorists would be forced to think of some noble way to get jannat. Once again this issue requires proper mobilization through appropriate channels.

Kashmir Problem Solved
Kashmir Problem Solved
An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the
United Nations Assembly that made the world community
smile........................
A representative from India began: 'Before beginning my talk I want to
tell you something about Rishi Kashyap of Kashmir, after whom Kashmir is
named.
"When he struck a rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What a
good opportunity to have a bath.'
He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the
water.
When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A
Pakistani had stolen them."
The Pakistani representative jumped up furiously and shouted, 'What are
you talking about? The Pakistanis weren't there then.'
The Indian representative smiled and said, 'And now that we have made
that clear, I will begin my speech.'
And they say Kashmir belongs to
them...............................................!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this something really new happening
These days there is lot of chaos, these days there is lot of unrest. These days I find my fellow batch mates expressing grieve concerns over the intensely miserable political scenario of our nation and these days I find the great Indian middle class having bunch of discussions over the integrity and unity of their motherland. Thank God, finally they have thought beyond their age old realm of roti, kapda and makaan (and girls, bollywood and cricket). Credit goes to Raj Thackrey
I have come across many editorials wailing at the lack of young blood in Indian politics and now when their wish has become alive, everyone is crying foul. I was long willing to express my views over this recent crisis in our nation. Is this something new happening? To start with, I don’t think Raj Thackrey puts forth some out and out exceptional propaganda. Indians have a glorious such past since time immemorial. We have always been a victim of some self defined racial superiority. We represent a breed which is intellectually arrogant. NarayanaMurthy quotes from his recent lecture:
Our intellectual arrogance has also not helped our society.
I have traveled extensively, and in my experience, have not come across another society where people are as contemptuous of better societies as we are, with as little progress as we have achieved. Remember that arrogance breeds hypocrisy.
No other society gloats so much about the past as we do, with as little current accomplishment.
Friends, this is not a new phenomenon, but at least a thousand years old. For instance, Al Barouni, the famous Arabic logician and traveler of the 10th century, who spent about 30 years in India from 997 AD to around 1027 AD, referred to this trait of Indians.
According to him, during his visit, most Indian pundits considered it below their dignity
even to hold arguments with him. In fact, on a few occasions when a pundit was willing to listen to him, and found his arguments to be very sound, he invariably asked Barouni:
which Indian pundit taught these smart things!
That perfectly illustrates our great Indian trait of Intellectual arrogance. We have actually made both the ends of the world meet just to prove that the person living beside us hails from lower strata of intelligence and divinity. We don’t have castes only; we have sub castes and sub of that sub caste too, once again to propose some similar agenda.
I don’t find a war where we concentrated only on war, we always had some turncoat, and we always had groups in bulk that regularly dared to join hands with invaders just to get their things straight. Our so called upper caste served a big aid to British rulers in pre independence era without any thought over integrity or unity.
What the foolish middle class is doing here and expressing some idiotic concerns over India divided. Where were they when Kashmiri pundits were thrown out of their own land? Where were they when Hindi speakers were being killed in Assam? Where were they while our lower strata converted just because the arrogant upper caste never accepted them? Was our nation not being fragmented then? India doesn’t want such media driven intellectuals who all of a sudden protested in unison purely because they were being thrown out of their land of dreams – Mumbai. Hindi lovers are regularly being thrown out of their own lands in North East, a vast population has been surreptitiously converted and did we ever bother? There are innumerable pockets known as Mini Dubai where Hindus dare don't go even in this so called secular and free nation. Wasn’t India being divided then? Why are we raising concerns (and protesting) only now over India divided?
What Young blood! Young blood! We keep shouting. Would our new leaders wont follow the policy of appeasement and politics of vote bank? Won’t they divide us over reservations? Would they ever bring the most logical policy of common civil code keeping aside their vote banks and thinking only of united India?
Raj Thackrey intentions are political and he is least concerned with the proposed racial superiority of Marathi, that is quite visible else he definitely would have followed the silent coveted strategy of Christian missionaries. But I only wish to urge my fellow friends to protest but protest in a rational way, look with open eyes around and don’t raise concerns over issues which you found while watching TV. Think in totality and protest in totality. Mother India doesn’t require parasites which work only with visible spectrum
(I suppose I am relatively simpler in language this time and a bit short)

THEORY OF RELATIVITY
Theory of relativity incorporates, rather represses the universe of human emotions; their victories, triumphs, outmaneuvers and defeats, annihilations, shellacking; their blithe moments, euphoria, exults and cravings, cupidity, vaulting ambitions; the stature of apogee and the depth of impasse are all an outcome of this theory’s parturition; the way human live in society, comport, interact and work for the sustainability of society.
The theory of relativity basically talks about lack of absoluteness. Nothing is absolute, what is acceptable from one side may be detestable from the other side. We make our own definitions and become chuffed if it is fulfilled and reject the very same description once it fails to satiate our interests
Hurtles in life throw myriads of salvo upon us, we have no other option but to face them and here is where we carve a niche of disquisitions around us. We set a goal satisfying our capabilities and compulsions; we extrude a path to reach that objective as per our own convenience and even work to attain it according to our own capacities. Fortunately if that ephemeral mission is accomplished, we become elated for the said completion of that pre-defined objective. Even if we fail to accomplish, we still have many self made expositions in our depository, whys and wherefores at why where we our self decide whether or not to become depressed by the said clobber. We give various excuses to vindicate ourselves or scold our own self, once again as we like it. Some of us don’t get obliged even after getting 90% score in some examination and while some of us might feel gratified by just crossing the 60% barrier and quite surprisingly that 6 pointer is an envied happy lad. Bhojpuri might sound bucolic and derogatory at an age when you were busy embezzling English to shape your career but at the end of the road, you might miss the ethnicity and nazakat of the very same mother tongue in which your parents used to converse with you. It depends entirely upon us how we take any situation and become blissed or depressed by our own annotations
Stipulating further, this relativity concept indomitably motivates the world. It is the mother of diversity in this entire creation. Different regions developed their own cultures, traditions, languages and lifestyle. Had not nationalism, patriotism or even chauvinism for that matter been there, this diversity would have lost (and we actually see it happening in this present age of globalization). Mother loves her child because her child is the best as per her perception. We love our family and nation and remain bounded with them because we find them the best in our spheres of intelligence, although we are aware that veracity proposes that best means one and only one, not all things can stood as best. The best example to clear this concept is our affection for our own mother. Every child declares its mother to be the best mother, which is nothing but a blunt relative belief under its aegis of understanding. Basic human emotions are emanated from this very concept of relativity where we consider our assets as the best and reject the rest. We buoy a cause only when we find it to be self-serving and we countervail an agenda only because we find it to be debilitating some of our future benefit, but very cunningly, every time we try to show that whatsoever we are doing is ethical and thereby prove that we are some harbinger and try to construct a generalized manifesto comprising disguised greed but officially proposing some universal scruples of social conscience. Just like, Why Indians prefer arrange marriages still now can never be understood by westerners who don’t even know what is a joint family, but still then they are found excoriating this practice (and eunuch Indians feel ignoble at their apprehension). Similarly Live In relationship is an institution which suits their culture, which perhaps ethnic Indians find awkwardly irreconcilable. The only truth is Relativity; get absorbed in a system to comprehend it better, rather than criticizing superficially. One can appreciate music, art only within the realms of his understanding but even then very foolishly he tries to form a stance that his choice represents the superlative degree of art, just to get the credit of being a better recognizer of aesthetics than his mate.
We are always blessed in our own world if our explications are away from the gamut of society, but once society and the fright of society gets involved, elucidations become complex but still demystification has the same degree of relativity and eloquently justifies our own acts. If our perception of relish encroaches the laws of society, once again it depends totally upon us how we take it. Love/fear of society sometimes forces us to sacrifice our personal desires and we have the excuse that it was necessary for the stability of society or family in particular. Sometimes we just don’t go with the society and once again as penance or to justify our act, we accuse blinkered society of prudishness, insularity and of being parochial; or think that that particular act was necessary to retain my personal identity. Whatever may be the case, every time our definitions, created in our own minds, are ready to inspire us in the direction we wish to go. Not to forget, society is nothing but a superset of relative definitions. Fight with society is a fight of two relative approaches, what is unacceptable to the society right now may become palatable to the society if relative outlooks come up at bulk and collect the courage to outrage the previous relative conventions.
Everything is relative to such a great extent that the very same act which was authoritative a few moments before may draw abhorrence if the reasons get alternated or the perspective is transmuted (once again in relative sense).Just like girls were never encouraged to enter the glamour world a few decades before but now parents proudly boast of their daughter once she wins some sexiest figure competition in some Miss World parade. Dispute between two groups can end either way since each group has his own set of explanations to prove that they are accurate, the very same tussle is right by one clarification and wrong by other illustration. M. F. Hussain is a rational artist for some and hyper publicized celebrity for others, in either of the cases there are plenty of logics to prove so. Choices made by an individual are immaculate by his philosophy and eccentric by several other perspectives. No one can decide what is discrepant or consummate and perhaps that is the truth and beauty of this creation. But for sustainability of the society, sometimes it becomes necessary to take a particular outlook and support a particular perspective and that is where the importance of religion/constitution is felt by the society itself. Religion is not more than a standard set of relative definitions having its input from millions of experiences of the society accumulated over thousand of years, confined in a region. Based upon those experiences certain laws are enacted for better flow of ideas and sustainability of society. In the absence of Constitution/Religion, entire creation would not cease to exist but definitely once again it’s a matter of choice that what kind of society we wish to have around us.
Gist is just that nothing is right or wrong and neither can one decide what is aberrant and what is flawless, everything is relative (and that’s what gives birth to interconnectivity).We should always do what our heart says, egocentric society will endorse or boycott us only within its sphere of pretension. Society can never decide what is erroneous or infallible in absolute sense. Exuberance is such a rare thing that if we think that our acts, choices or perspective is exhilarating our core, we should always nurture them. If we would sacrifice our choices and ardour for the sake of society, we would be the most foolish to do so since the same society would support our choices in future if some better extenuation comes up suppressing previous outlook, either by power or a new relative conviction.
Do things as per your conscience as it only can make you perennially gloating, as per your definition, and true complacency is the most difficult thing to earn in this world, as per my article of faith. Whatever panoramas you earn in life, if any damn choice earns immediacy in your life, just have the guts to prove them impeccable and irrespective of the nature of your choice; you can always earn verisimilitude, make the person in competition feel inferior just because of the ultimate reality that everything is relative.
