India that was Bharat


MS Dhoni won world cup: India
MS Dhoni shaved off his head after victory: Bharat


An Idea which is India! The Incredible India... you hate her, you like her but you cannot ignore her. Since the very beginning of Humanity, India is known for one of the wealthiest and developed civilization. Sadly we are not what we used to be!

I am not saying, India is bad or Bharat is good.... but can we re-implant that big big big heart of BHARAT in the visionary brain of INDIA???

Can we??

Today in a very banal discussion with one of my colleague, I told him that in Germany, there exist small refreshment huts in roadside jungle, if any commuter wants to eat, drink or take rest and drop the sum amount of money at the drop box as the payment of the total consumption. To our amusement there is no check point, camera, caretaker or security guard to stop you if you try to run away because no one does it.

He asked: Can we do it for India here?

Ah! You all know the answer!

Why? Why you answer is so much united! Cannot we Indians be honest? Do we not have courage to pay for what we spend?

Let me explain why it becomes the universally accepted and inevitable answer. It is not the development of one year or fifty years... not during the British raj... not even during Moguls, Tuglaq or Lodhi Era. This began way back during Vedic Age, before this we all were as civilized and disciplined as humanity can expect us to be. How? Good question...

During Vedic age Aryans took over the reign of Indian command. They developed the system of civilization as good as the communistic governance of CHINA? RUSSIA or France. A son of a Brahmin is declared as Brahmin since birth, a son of worrier is declared worrier since birth... no one remain worried about the quest of earning bread by honing excellence. Those who had a good job never changed their profession and those had bad jobs never allowed to change their profession. So elite never took pain to innovate his job and a poor never cared to innovate his part. Both of them felt happy with whatever they were doing and keep on doing... day and night, week and fortnight.... years and decades.... centuries and millennium...

Brahmins never innovated education,
Farmers never innovated Cultivation...
Kshatirya kept fighting with each others...
Vayshya expanded their trade out of boundaries....
Shudra becomes the football from one foot to other....

Greece came and ruined...
Gajanvi came and looted...
Lodhi, tuglak, Aibak, Khilji, Mogul... British, Pourtgal... French...
Till 1947AD everyone from back or front... murdered the very character of Indian

They killed our souls... slowly...
Macaulay broken us based upon our religions...
Vedic Hindus broken us based on 2500 castes...
 Post liberation... came short minded politicians.... bit by bit they raped our character... due which bastards like Dawood, Abu Salem, Afjal Guru... born...
We forgot that ours was the village.... where marriage of a daughter was not the load of her father but of the entire village!

We forgot that we never locked our doors!
We forgot that we never taken more than our apatite!
We forgot that our cattle used to have milk produce in their diets!
We forgot that our horse & carts used to be made up of gold and gems!

We forgot Ram Rajya.... we still remembered Ayodhya
We forgot Seeta Mata... we still remembered tirya charitra...

We remembered our epics but never implemented... we remembered we were rich we never acted like rich...

We snatch, we over store, we over consumer, we stock, we black mail....
We become INDIA.... We lost BHARAT!!!!

My letter to Mr. Chetan Bhagat

Sent to bhakti@chetanbhagat.com  as on 26, August 2013, In response to Mr. Bhagat's Article  Sunday Times, 25th August 2013, Indore Edition  Dear Mr. Bhagat, This is awful that a person of your stature is out rightly supporting a cult publicly. Knowing that millions of youth will be influenced by your opinion, you should have behaved more responsibly in public. We know media is sold to Modi and international big brothers want to use Modi cult by giving rest to UPA for at least a term. For international diplomacy BJP & Congress are all alike. While these two national parties will keep wrestling over their core ideologies of being Hindu Nationalists & Secular Nationalists, they will always settle on the economic policies favoring to international markets. They will be ready to provide free flow accessibility of Indian consumers & natural resources to foreign corporate giants. It is sadly termed as a real growth of India. Because if foreign inve...

Reforms & Protests

In capitalizing global economy no one will do charity business, naturally they have profits in mind but if we are opening our doors they are opening theirs too. Stop complaining, grow up! Take the challenge and win!  : Jitendra Verma  In Rajeev Gandhi era when Computers arrived to India, opposition parties claimed 'In a country of Lalten and Bullock-cart where even electricity is a far cry, what computers will do? ' They further extended their protests by provoking poor civilians that ' A computer can do 1000 clerks job which means one computer will cost the job of thousand Indians ' Today computer is the source of livelihood to the population which otherwise could have fighting for Brown Sugar, Cocaine, Opium. 1991 reforms of government had a criticism of bringing economic slavery but we are the witness that the per-capita income of India has grown from INR8109.00 to INR53300.00 per Annum since 1990s to 2012. In 2012 for the first time India wi...

JV  -------------------------------------------------------------   "I hate you, And you must know why!  It is true, that I am not you, And this I will never try! But hating you is all I should, Not because we both are with him here, But because we both were blossomed elsewhere!! "N ot I hated you when he proposed you Or when his hands were shivering to hold But when I was laid in market to get cunningly sold Yes, I hate you, Not because I you’re priceless or I am not But because you are earned while I am bought "M y fragrance will never fade, It’s one more reason to hate. It is not l...
