INDIA:  MISPLACED  PRIORITIES


          Do we need more temples?  Do we need to gloat over our ancient civilization and culture?  

Do we need to rewrite history books?  Do we need to disturb the communal peace and harmony of the 

country?


          By the latest estimate of the World Economic Forum, India has about 87 million people living in 

extreme poverty. Those just above the extreme poverty line, millions more, are living a fragile economic

life. Covid-19 pandemic will cause many more to slip into this poor existence.


          It should be clear that a rapid economic growth is priority number one, two and three, for India.

The current ruling party in the center has not shown sufficient focus or competence for accomplishing 

this goal. The opposition political forces which are secular urgently need to wake up and unite. With the 

guidance from pragmatic economic experts they need to fight the current regime while pushing for 

policy changes for the betterment of masses in India.

                                                            ATTITUDE           In our life and death  there are very few things we can control. Our mental attitude is one of those things which we can relatively control. Our attitude toward things and  people plays a large role in our being happy or miserable.           Some of our suffering is caused by being bothered about what other people think or  talk about  us. Think: "other people's feelings or opinions do not touch my skin. Why  should   I be bothered? It is OK if some people do not like me. So what?"           We often make ourselves miserable by brooding about regrets and resentments  of the past: Why did my father always put me down? Why did I not get admission to a...

                                                TO BE GRATEFUL  &  TO BE FORGIVING                Remembering somebody who has enriched our life, with a sense of gratitude, gives a  soothing feeling to our heart. From our parents, our teachers, great writers, to inspiring leaders:  frequently and sincerely expressing our gratefulness to those who have helped us in any way, brings  peace to our mind.                Another thing to do to be happier is to let go of past resentments. To forgive someone who may have offended us in the past is a wise thing to do. Just as carrying a light luggage in travel  makes our journey more comfortable, reducing vengefulness toward  persons who may have caused us  a grief at some point in life, relieves us of a bu...

ISM      Ism is an ideology held with such fervor by its believers that it leads them to forcefully oppose any system which differs from their own. History is replete with such ideologies and they are prevalent even today. The genocide of Jews that took place in Europe during the middle of twentieth century under Hitler's Nazism (belief in Aryan Supremacy) still makes our heart tremble with disbelief. Under Stalin's communist rule in Soviet Union, millions of innocent people lost their lives. During the campaign of collective farming enforced in 1950s under Mao's communism, hundreds of thousands of people died of starvation or systematic killing in China.      We have witnessed the collapse of communist economic system near the end of twentieth century. We have also seen deep recession that occurred in U.S.A. in 2008, when capitalist market system was allowed to run without any checks.      No one holds monopoly on truth. Mahatma Gandhi's lif...
