Before I start, I want to make it clear that this article is going to be highly influenced by Narendra Modi and the new face of India - The Guardian  but  is strictly not about  Narendra Modi or discussing Indian politics. Enough has been read, written and published about the present scenario of Indian politics. What I worry about is the politicisation of Hinduism .Fine ! As a AAM AADMI ( in  aam terms, not in political terms) I am told to digest the fact that it is Politics .The whole hue and cry about Hindu, Hindutva  and RSS  is politics (that is what a non-political, Indian citizen would conclude by the present trend ) because for a Hindu;Hinduism is never about killing masses and violence. The idea of Pankaj Mishra of  referring Narendra Modi as a Hindu  nationalist  With the rise of Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi    reminds me of the American presidential elections 2008. Obama Elect...

</ The great french Philosopher Voltaire once said " If God did not exist ,it would be necessary to invent him ".Understanding religion is one of the toughest tasks for penseurs ,philosophers and educationists.For those who believe in God or existence of a supreme power, religion is a solace and for those who don't,religion is an escape but Whether solace or escape ,Religion remains an inseperable part of mankind.The necessity and relevance of religion are subjects which are often discussed and are redefined but what remains untouched is the APPLICATION OF RELIGION.Being Theist or Atheist is an invidual choice but for proper functionning of this world there must be a Theos(god).To explain it further,I would like to quote Albert Camus ,again a great french philosopher "Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful". God is not only meant for worshipping but the idea of God is like an assistance ...

I belong to the group of people who are more comfortable in saying while ordering pizza in Domino’s : Bhaiya order le lijiye than to say I would like to place an order! Again I prefer to say in restaurants: Bhaiya! Paani Lana! Instead of Excuse me! Can I have a glass of water please! I belong to the class who is more comfortable in quoting Ramayana ,Geeta ,Tulsidas,Kalidas,JayShankar Prasad and Sumitra Nandan Pant than quoting Shakespeare, Keats,WordsWorth and. I belong to the group which is still worried about the choice of medium (Hindi or English) for appearing in the Civil Services Examinations. belong to the group of people who still get nervous when somebody asks on phone: Can I speak to Mr. and Miss….? In India, exists a society which is suffering from ANGLOPHOBIA, and I am one among them. In India, language has been a very important element in deciding personal careers as well as the political system but almost after 5 decades of Independence , India is witnessing ...

<< Life is easy for those who are honest and easier for those who are practical.Now the most widely accepted anatonym for HONEST is PRACTICAL.When I was young,I used to think that corruption means politics.For me,it was very difficult to digest the fact that I was wrong and still I am learning to recognize the different faces of corruption which are unfortunately everywhere.Born in an Indian family who believes in Ram and the Concept of Ram Rajya,sometimes I feel that I am living in a world which was never known to me.When I was in school,I was told to be honest and now when I am in University I am told to be Practical which actually means not to be honest.Basically we are trained to be honest but we are expected to act practically(if being honest#is not equal to being practical) Well,World is for those who win,nobody gives a damn when you are successfull,How you succeded?never matters.But the terms honesty and corruption are being talked about so there is a possiblity that t...

We,the people of India are waiting for our next Prime Minister or Let's say We are waiting for a change. Is it a Change in our political system or it has other dimensions ? After a very long time,India is seeing such a massive interest towards Politics.Here in Banaras Hindu University, banaras/Varanasi or let's just say the KURUKSHETRA where Narendra Modi and Arvind Kejriwal are contesting, things are like never seen before or anywhere else in the country, things are different from the past.People( I will not say rikshawalas and autowaalas,it is misleading and i find it a misuse of words to inluence a mass ) hailing from all backgrounds, know about The general elections 2014.In my whole life (You can call me unexperienced because it has been 26 years only) I was never so informed and excited about who being the Prime Minister. Yes ! I am not sure whether I am excited about the futur of Narendra Modi or Our primeministerial candidates or about film stars contesting or m...

Dear Sobha De, I see you know very well that we live in the largest democracy of the world and we are allowed to enjoy the freedom of expression to its funniest extent.I am not a BJP Supporter and I do not belong to a defined group of feminists but I simply don't agree with the facts ,sentences and the misleading and unresponsible piece of your work published in THE WEEK. LeT'S COME TO THE POINT! JASHODABEN.....I accept I did't know her a week ago and I still choose to know her as a stranger NOT in a sad position as you have introduced her in your column.I am very surprised to see the use of your words for a lady who has't uttered a single word about her personal or professional life. DITCHED by her husband?? Is it the right word to explain a story of a lady who chose to struggle and succeded.Do you have any idea what it takes to start a fresh after such incident.I guess this is the reward for the struggle and the determination of a woman by a woman .You seem very con...
