"My vision is that everyone irrespective of their history must be allowed to participate in making this world a better place"  - Jitendra Rajaram  Hopeful! Everyone can be hopeful, no one must die hopeless Economy is a political arrangement of power. It is not about money. Money is a tool to exercise the power one holds.    Politics is a continuous struggle of reshuffling the power arrangement among various power fringes. These fringes are class, caste, community, ethnicity, skin colour, gender, age, and family identities. Macroscopically, this struggle is homogeneous, everyone is fighting with everyone else. Microscopically however, one can observe patterns. The patter is a binary, a war between “Handful powerful elites” and “Million weak, poor and discarded bands of people”. Whoever is ruling, has actually achieved a temporary state of equilibrium. This equilibrium is the sum of positive and negative powers like religion, wealth, societies, people...

  “यस्मिन् जीवति जीवन्ति बहव: स तु जीवति”   पंचतंत्र का उपदेश है की “यदि व्यक्ति का जीवन और व्यक्तियों का जीवन संवारता है तभी वह व्यक्ति सच में जीवित है” क्या हमारे पुरखों का दिया ये अलौकिक ज्ञान आज कहीं भी चरितार्थ होता दिख रहा है ? अगर नहीं तो हो रहे बलात्कार और हिंसा के हम भी भागीदार है | “टी वी खबरों में , अख़बारों में , सोशल मीडिया में और आपसी लफ्फाजी में दुनिया के क्रूरतम होते जाने की निंदा कर देने भर से हमारे बच्चों का भविष्य सुरक्षित नहीं होने वाला | इस क्रूरता के खात्मे के लिए हमें अपनी न्यूनतम और अधिकतम योगदान को तय करना होगा | और तय किये हुए कार्य को करना भी होगा | पिछले लेख ( यहाँ पढ़ें ) में मैंने न्यूनतम प्रतिबद्धता की बात की थी | उस लेख पर सवाल खड़े हुए कि कैसे मात्र गाली नहीं देने से बलात्कार रुक जायेगा ? गाली के उन्मूलन मात्र से बलात्कार कम हो जायेंगे , ऐसा नहीं है | लेकिन ये बलात्कार को रोकने के लिए सबसे मौलिक और जरुरी कदम है | सच है की एक पत्थर मार देने से तिलस्म नहीं टूटेगा लेकिन जबतक पत्थर नहीं मरेंगे तबतक तो बिलकुल नहीं टूटेगा ...

The Idea of India never born, it was only conceived. It died well before the coming of labour pain in 1948. The next what happened is what Oxymoron Hindu widely believed about 'Ravana'. They killed him once but they burn its effigy every year; so that they can keep the trauma alive. They celebrate the hypocritical claim that   Golden State of Lanka   was bad and   Dhobis-Idea of Rama Rajya   was great. In 1948 the exact replica of Ramayana happened again! They killed Gandhi, who was endorsing Rama Rajya, and advocated that his assassin Nathuram Ghodse did it for the people. Now the Ghodse is new holy man they want to cheer for. Like they praised Ravana they praise Gandhi and like they revere Ram they revere Ghodse. Well forget Ghodse Ram reverence, here I am trying to explain how wilfully ‘The Idea of India’ was a stillborn. No wonder why no one cries over its corpse. Jawaharlal Nehru once said to Jahangir Tata " Don't use the word profit Jer, I hate that word ...
