“Lockdown” telecast of “Ramayana” and” My take”

The telecasting of “Ramayana” serial by Doordharshan, seems to be a well thought strategy of the current dispensation to keep many who are doing nothing glued to T.V.  thus, keep them occupied and at the same time hopefully imbibe in them the eternal and ethical values of righteousness and social behavior, to tide over the current challenge and gloomy conditions, created by Novel Covid 19.

While the Sarkar rightfully took the decision to Lockdown the whole country for 21 days fulfilling its duty(Raj Dharma) i.e. “Jaan Hai to Jahan Hai” to contain spread and save lives, now after assessing the progress in last two weeks on spread  and its own preparedness to fight  the virus, seems to be looking at another two weeks of not complete but selective/graded Lockdown to ensure “Jaan aur Jahan” . I.e. save lives as well as ensure a slow but progressive plan to get back the economy going, keeping in mind the Raj Dharma of ensuring lives as well livelihood of most of the population.

As the epic is a gripping story of victory of good over evil, love, compassion, relationships and social behavior of all stakeholders, the conversations at crucial junctures of decision making are philosophical, value based and keeping in tune with Dharma( natural laws of right behavior and social order). While authorities seem to have taken it as above, “My Take” as a commoner, from watching the serial is as follows -:

Do an inward search, look for the Rama within you, work on him, isolate the Ravana and his ego. In today’s terminology, simply do your own SWOT analysis and work on it to evolve as a perfect man.

Always be respectful to all, nature, laws of the land and especially to your wife (if you are married) Remember that good deeds always comeback around in unexpected ways.

Always try to understand rather than be understood, seek truth, try and understand the meaning of all the virtues(dharmas) as depicted and shared in Ramayana to emulate for personal development.

Inculcate Love, it is all pervasive and binds all around you. Love is not only a noun but a verb too for e.g. an F1 driver who has a passion(noun) for driving, risks his life trying to  master(verb) the driving skills to win the same, similarly your love should not be only nurtured within but demonstrated too with your actions by being tolerant, forgiving, compassionate, helpful and treat all equally.

Always keep evolving (develop gradually), each failure shall be a step forward to succeed eventually, the continuous process of evolution will surely make you a Responsible human being, if not a perfect man. All of us have basic survival instincts and genes to succeed. Those who dream, dare and work towards their aims positively often succeed and become torchbearers of the society.

Litmus test
For the Govt it is easy to give slogans and make policy but difficult to deliver, thus actions are a must on ground to fulfil the Raj Dharma, save lives and livelihood in the days and months ahead. The Sarkar must “walk the talk” and the united society work spiritedly for the long struggle ahead.

It is easy to preach than practise, thus the charity begins at home, I will try and evolve- better late than never, I  may not emulate even a fraction of elements of a maryada purshottam(a perfect man-symbol of many virtues) but with the beginning and  continuous process of  efforts at least may become a responsible person, worthy enough to bow at his altar(centre of spirituality & all virtues)

Be a, “Responsible agent” and work for a “Better tomorrow”

As human beings we are supposed to be the most intelligent race on the earth because by nature we are endowed with “Freedom to choose our actions” i.e. all of us are gifted with response-ability. Please retrospect on your life so far, in general you will realize that each action of yours was a result of crave, intuition, knowledge, curiosity, circumstances, reactions and greed thus may not have been a conscious, fully aware and a willful decision.

The current grim situation may continue for next few days and months(hopefully not , sub to our behavior), during this period you may be surrounded with boredom, fear, depression, negativity, media misinformation, rumors, conspiracy theories, religious divides, business exploitations, political score settlements and social media killer messages, thus time to ensure that instead of reacting to these above said things you better choose the freedom to act as per your Conscience, fully aware of the facts and consequences of your action based on the laws of the nature and the eternal values.

While the various forces and agencies viz govt, administration, law enforcement agencies, medical fraternity, Social organizations, corporate social responsibility agents and the essential services/goods providers are doing their best(within their ability and resources)to overcome and win the battle against the virus, we as individuals can at least become a back-end “Responsible agent” in this chain of frontline warriors to win this battle.

As a “Responsible agent” I can choose to act consciously, fully aware of facts and consequences.

As an individual I shall take care of myself and ensure that I follow the good and simple practices of physical (prefer this to social) distancing, hygiene, respect the law & follow the prevailing guidelines and assist the frontline warriors within my capacity.

I must understand the gravity of the situation thus should not react to any rumors or commit  an act which may endanger not only my life but of my family members and the community as well, I shall think twice before I break the required discipline at this critical time and always take precaution.

I shall be compassionate towards the less fortunate, be caring and do whatever within my means to alleviate their suffering and act accordingly.

I shall use this period to retrospect, enjoy with the family,  learn through various sources within my scope of availability, follow the good practices, form good habits and make them a part of my life, learn and enshrine the eternal values to ensure that I evolve as a good human being.

I have a firm belief that Collectively We shall evolve as victors over this unknown enemy called “Covid19”, knowing well that it is taking time as we still have no solution and infrastructure ready to cope with it. Various authorities are buying time to overcome that, thus asking us to be patient and follow suggested guidelines to minimize fatalities while sooner than later they will find a solution & hopefully we shall see a new world which is in sync with the laws of the nature and not against it.

Now if each individual works on the above simple, easy and natural principles, share and practice within own circle of influence, it shall become a big chain of change and collectively bring about a, “better tomorrow”.

Devil is up against Dare the evil (article 370 by 370)

The recent modification to article 370  of the Indian constitution by the Presidential order has kept the clause one thus removing the temporary special status given to Jammu and Kashmir and bringing it at par with any other state/union territory of India, thus disrobing the extra judicial powers and entitlements of the state assembly and the provisions of 35A as the same stands revoked completely. Ironically 370 members voted in Lok Sabha to modify the article 370. Giving the benefit of doubt to the then government, possibly article 370 was a necessity to tide over a given crisis in that peculiar situation and as stated in the provision itself was temporary and it was incumbent upon the then govt to ensure that transition is done smoothly to ensure a union with India as per the constitution of India in toto.

Sadly for last 70 years, due to its misuse by the local govt, proxies by enemy country, malpractices, corrupt politicians and bureaucrats this article with 35a was flogged , separatist sentiments played with, used to blackmail to achieve the ends of vested interests at the cost of the local populace, money of the India Tax payers and alienating the locals with constant brainwashing, radicalising and deprivation of higher education and employment opportunities  which in turn resulted in the Jannat becoming a Jahannum, which in turn presume suited the few who were benefitting from the situation, were in power and did not realise the seed which was sown by them was now staring at them as it had become an outgrown DEVIL and they had no gumption as well as any will to deal with it effectively.

In a nutshell miscreants of  5 districts of the whole region of 22 plus districts were holding the state and the country to a ransom with ethnic cleansing of minorities, denying rights as per the constitution of India to all minorities, promoting terror, appropriating wealth, destroying the Sufi and tranquil culture of the region, cornering the wealth , employment opportunities and the trade in only a handful of connected people who were keen to foment trouble to keep their coffers filling and the worst was that the Devil had started spreading like a cancer to the other parts of the country and had to be tackled sooner than later. D evil had to be countered with Dare D evil with a strong Will and long term plan to bring the Jannat back from the jaws of Jahannum.

The current dispensation in India always was against Article 370 as well as 35A and with them getting absolute majority in the current elections, this was always on the cards and with the opposition in disarray they took the call earlier than otherwise. Their failed attempts at coalition govt in Kashmir to achieve the end objective of bringing peace and tranquillity, the current situation in Pakistan, disenchantment in Ladakh and last but not the least, the current goodwill which the current dispensation enjoys in the world forum must have prompted the Daredevil to take the course correction step at the earliest to ensure the achievement of his party objective and hopefully the total integration of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh with India.

Having taken the first step, the real troubles are ahead. Majority in the region by and large will be happy with the change as it should benefit them democratically, economically, socially and securely but the vested interests and enemies from outside and Jaichands within will try and destabilise the move thus it is the primary as well as moral responsibility of the current dispensation to ensure that fruits of the change reach the door step of the last man in mile in the region(Antyodaya) tackling the menace makers and if possible winning them rather than alienating further, easy said than done but when the locals who are sentimental,, currently inconvenienced and silent for short term will turn the other way if they do not see any visible change in their well being and return of normalcy at the earliest.

The Dare the evil has taken the Devil headlong, has the will “Modi hai to Mumkin Hai”, gaining Vishwas by deeds on ground is the “Mantra” and Zero tolerance to Terror is the “Astra”. Be human always.

What is your opinion, choice?

The opposition must choose the best and offer a better narrative to take India beyond 2.0, as we need healthy competition to ensure that nation is served and not ruled to ensure continuous progress, harmony and well being of all the citizens, ensure that 2.0 works till then and if opposition does not improve and offer a better narrative, the mature janata janardan will make it 3.0, five years down the line.

Modi 2.0, Positive & Inclusive Way forward towards a New India (2022)

Congratulations to the people of India for having reposed their faith in Mr. Narendra Modi and to give him another term to fulfill his vision in mission mode of a New- India. He, in his very first speech has publicly and responsibly committed himself to serve the nation with full, integrity, inclusivity and decisive resolve to alleviate poverty in the country and also to strive hard towards the evolution of India as a developed nation in due course of time.

Any illusions or doubts about his credibility should now be put to rest as time and again in last 20 years he has proved his critics wrong and relentlessly worked towards nation building process with a sense of urgency, focus and commitment. In true sense, he has dedicated his life and soul for the service of this nation, its citizens and of course to the party which has given him the opportunity.

All above may sound like a modibhakt but the report card of last five years and the mandate of the majority votary of this great nation is a testimony to the same, thus from now onwards we all must judge and then comment on the man objectively and not subjectively, solely on the measurement of fulfilling the given promise. Most parties give manifesto but he changed to Sankalp Patra.

Sankalp means an intention formed by the heart and the mind (a solemn vow) to focus and harness the will (manifesto) Thus it shall be better if the pundits and the political parties read the75 resolutions in the sankalp patra of the BJP issued during 2019 elections. While the Govt works on them, the same should be discussed and debated for their proper implementation and or failure, by us.

A lot of those promises have a review or fulfillment timeline of 2022, which is almost 3 years from now (the govt is chosen for five year term) thus guess the right time to review and then pass judgments. Given a timely and proper analysis apart from the ground assessment of realities shall be healthy for our nation, political parties and the voters, as this is called the RULE of Democracy. Respect the mandate, understand the Govt’s vision, check the relevant actions and see the evolving progress.

It will be in the larger interest of our nation, if we put a stop to debates on secularism, tolerance, appeasement, caste politics, nationalism and skeletons in the cupboards while move into 2.0 mode of consensus building on issues, discussions on progress of nation, good things happening around and reporting of any violations to the appropriate authorities for action and ensure that the same is taken to logical conclusions by concerned authorities and not by media trial courts.

The Govt, has a lot on its plate ,a tough act as miscreants, the disgruntled elements, some foreign powers as well as some overzealous supporters are going to create impediments and hurdles a lot to derail the progress. The police, political, judicial and economic arms of the govt with due reforms should be able to tackle the same effectively and constitutionally.

Nothing is impossible. Modi hai to mumkin hai  2.0 review in 2022. All the Best.

Democratic RULE

RULE of Democracy, a Democratic RULE

Finally, the battle for power in the elections is over, hopefully all the acrimonies shall be buried and post the results, we shall have a new dispensation which will try to win the war against poverty, towards development of the nation with full integrity and hope all the political parties shall bury their hatchets and usher in the RULE of democracy, i.e. Respect, Understand, Love & Evolve.

Respect:
All parties must respect the mandate of the people, abide by constitutional ethos, believe in the institutions of the country, laid down parliamentary procedures, allegiance to their oath, nation, its security and their role of legislators to pass laws of the people, by the people and for the people towards real progress of the country and the countrymen (not only their men).

Understand:

The parties need to understand that they are the means to end of the national interest, they chose to serve the nation, sought votes and got elected to serve the nation thus find sustainable and long term solutions to the plight and aspirations of the janata(common man), need of the country on economic security and global front, their role in passing the necessary legislations  and ensuring that we are nation on path of progress to become a developed nation over a period of time, where all are equal and united in spite of diversity in our languages, culture and religions. Need to rise above petty party politics. Understand, analyse and deliver should be the norm all the time.

Love:

During this election period, we saw so much of hate and hatred towards each other which is very dangerous and all parties must realize the value of Love, all of them fought tooth and nail to serve (not rule) the nation and its people, leave that behind, shake hands and come together to serve. Service brings in care, passion and give approach and not take attitude, as hallmark of true love is give. Spreading the message of love and practicing in real life brings people together. Thus rise above personal and party politics for the love of the great Indian nation and all voters in general.

Evolve:

It is the 72^nd year of our democracy and this election in spite of its lows, shows signs of maturity, as the voters seem to have voted above caste factors, religious divides, against the dynastic politics, for the safety and progress of the nation, for the betterment of the last man in the line. It looks like beginning of developmental vote for progress thus high time for the politicians to evolve from rulers to servers, per se and usher true democracy in the country, of which we shall always be proud of.

Mr. Modi, hopefully after his meditation in Kedarnath has got rejuvenated and enlightened enough to change the current political culture in to an idealistic governance based on Respect, understanding, Love for the people, of the people and by the people, change the polity and its discourse and let the nation evolve to greater heights in becoming a great democratic republic of India, in true sense.

Politics is an art of making impossible- possible. Hope for the Best.
