ELECTIONS TO INDIAN PARLIAMENT 2019 - PART 2

The main two parties had been projecting themselves as Dravidian and atheists.  When the former Chief Minister was alive, her open support to temples under the care of the government and frequent visit to temples tilted the scales of the AIADMK in favour of the Hindus and temples. However, the main opposition party DMK had been continuing its tirade against the Hindus and their religious practices, while keeping mum about similar practices in other religions throwing to the winds the secular aspect of governance whenever they were ruling the state.  Added to this, the fringe elements who were totally not seen nor heard during the former Chief Minister’s life time, started appearing like mushrooms after a summer rain. These fringe elements and parties had been actively canvassing against the Hindu religion and practices with an eye on the money received from various other religious bodies from abroad through the various NGOs and the places of worship.  The nascent party started by the actor turned politician, had been a party spoiler for the ruling party in many constituencies. The votes polled by the candidates of this new party had been almost at par with the difference in votes polled by the winning candidate and the losing ruling party candidate.  The founder of the party, the actor-politician had openly admitted that he had been a regular preacher of gospel and the words of Jesus for many years.

The Tawheed Jamath was responsible for the attack on the church in SriLanka and the government of SriLanka had taken many actions to curb the freedom of the members of the minority community in that nation.  The TJ had been very active in some of the southern states and some members had been reportedly actively canvassing for IS in these states.  Even as the last phase of elections were on and the counting was to be taken up, the raid and checking by the officials of the National Investigating Agency in some of the southern states send some warning to the public and the state administrations.  The brutal killing of a Hindu activist  in broad day light by a few Muslim men in Tamilnadu and frequent killing of RSS men in Kerala are pointers to the problems of religious bigotry and the inroads made by Jihadists into the southern states.  The state governments in active association with the central government must take prompt action to nip these poisonous plants at the early stage itself without which it will become a menace to the peaceful co-existence of the majority people. 

These above religious problems are not just L&O problems to the states which had boycotted the ruling party in the center in the recent elections, they had been busily brainwashing public through their frequent calls for strikes, agitations etc. against various developmental actions of the government.  There was a sustained agitation against the nuclear power plant in Tamilnadu in Koodankulam which later was revealed was supported by some of the missionaries.  The agitation against a private industrial unit in Tamilnadu was also an instigated one supported by the missionaries and the main opposition party in the state.  These were projected as the problem creators for the welfare of the people and the people were brainwashed into believing that.  The main opposition party capitalized on these to win the recent election.

The main opposition party in the state had been using all its tricks to topple the government to get back to power. This hunger for power is what is making the party to support some of the anti national elements in their agitation and attacks on the central government.  These agitations and the various religious problems cannot just be brushed off as just law & order problems of the state. The opposition party is playing with fire and it may consume the party itself in the future.  But the state will have to pay a much bigger price like what the Jammu & Kashmir is presently facing. The people of the state have to wake up to this reality and get the state on the developmental track at the earliest and into the mainstream politics instead of depending on either of the two Dravidian parties.

ADOLF HITLER AND XI JINPING

Adolf Hitler was in the army during the first world war.  He was frustrated by the German defeat in the war, the treaty of Versailles and the reparations that Germany had to pay.  He joined a small political outfit called German Workers Party in the same year it was founded in 1919.  The party and its founders felt that the treaty at Versailles was unduly unjust to Germany and the party was founded on the principles of German Nationalism and anti Semitism.  Hitler soon became a charismatic public speaker who could attract many German youth to the party.  He used to espouse the Aryan supremacy and German nationalism in his speeches and blaming the Jews and Marxists for the all the ills of Germany.   Though in 1923 he was arrested and imprisoned for a five year term, he came out of prison in a year and started rebuilding the party he joined which he renamed as German Socialist Workers Party or Nazi party.  After his release from prison he went a...

MANUSMRITI AND THE CONTROVERSY

The time frame in the ancient Vedic times was divided into four yugas comprising of Krita, Treta, Dvapara and Kali.  The least number of years is in Kaliyuga and the number of years is expected to be around 10% of the total years i.e. 4,320,000 years in all the four yugas.  These yugas are cyclical.  The cycle of the yugas for one thousand times is called Kalpa - Day for the Brahma - God of creation. In the night of Brahma, a pralayam, Tsunami or dissolving all that is created by Brahma including himself takes place.  In the next morning Brahma is reborn and starts his creation work again. Brahma, at the start of each cycle of the chaturyuga (meaning four yugas) designates a person as a Manu for that chaturyuga. E ach cycle of chathuryuga had its own manu starting from Svayambuva - the one who self manifested.  The manu formulates the rules and regulations for the humans to follow to live in harmony with nature and other living beings.  In the present chatu...

ECONOMIC ACTIVITY - A REALITY CHECK

On the 8th of November 2016, the Prime Minister came on National TV and announced that from the midnight of that day all the high value notes of 500 and 1000 stand withdrawn as they cease to be legal tender any more.  This created a panic of sorts of across the country and there were last minute purchases of gold ornaments, stocks of goods, transport vehicles, real estate etc  The demonetization of the high value notes sent shivers down the spine of many and there were frantic attempts to convert the demonetized notes to lower denomination legal tender. The daily changing rules as the government and the special team of officers who were directly monitoring the note ban effect changed the rules almost on an hourly basis, spelt lots of difficulties.  The government tightened the screws in exchanging the notes and limited the number of notes per day and restricted the withdrawal of the notes from the bank branches or ATMs.  However, there was no restrictions in t...
