The pain of Kashmiri Pandit and sickularism in India..!
Lies being taught;
Kashmiri Muslims have been persecuted for years under Hindu
Kings and Indian domination. They have been fighting lone battle for their
independence from oppressive Indian rule.
Secret History or the reasons for present violence;
There had been no violence or terrorism in Kashmir up till
the year 1985. However the status quo of peace changed when afterMarch 1985,
when US government adopted National Security Decision Directive
(NSDD) 166, to fight proxy war against Russia and to drive it out of
Afghanistan by using mujahedeen/Taliban now called Al Qaeda.
1985 Ronald Reagan with mujahedin/Taliban in White House.
When they are with us they are called Mujahedin, when they are opposite us the
same people are called Al-Qaeda. Listen to this funny story,
the Russians invaded Afghanistan because they didn't want this group called the
Taliban to take over the government in Afghanistan. Then the Americans secretly
supported the TALIBAN that opposed the Russian forces. And now US are fighting
wars against the Taliban to prevent it from taking over the Government in
Afghanistan.
Under instructions from Director of Central Intelligence William
Casey, the CIA initiated programs for training Afghans in techniques such as guerrilla
warfare, kidnappings, armed conflict,assassinations, car bombs, and
cross-border raids (into the USSR). CIA poured in billions of US dollars,
modern weapons including stinger missiles to prop up Taliban to fight its war
against Russia. To take the war into Russia, CIA also trained Taliban to
infiltrate and engage in subversive activities inside Russia.

official, at a mujahedin training camp in North-West Frontier Province of
Pakistan in 1987. (source RAWA).
"The United States spent millions of dollars to supply
Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant
Islamic teachings ....The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and
featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then
as the Afghan school system's core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the
American-produced books,..", (Washington Post, 23 March 2002)
"Advertisements, paid for from CIA funds, were placed in newspapers and newsletters around the world offering inducements and motivations to join the [Islamic] Jihad."(Pervez Hoodbhoy, Peace Research, 1 May 2005)
"Advertisements, paid for from CIA funds, were placed in newspapers and newsletters around the world offering inducements and motivations to join the [Islamic] Jihad."(Pervez Hoodbhoy, Peace Research, 1 May 2005)
Same books and literature were subsequently used by Pakistan
to foment violence in India particularly in Kashmir. All Attacks in India like
26/11, Parliament attacks or Akshardham temple attack etc were induced by these
hateful teachings initiated by US.
US and Britain used Pakistan for its proxy war against
Russia and imported huge amount of modern weapons into Pakistan for
transmission into Afghanistan. A large part of these weapons / modern armaments
were diverted by Pakistan's ISI and Special Service Group (SSG) to
promote insurgency in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Hence while there was no
violence in Kashmir till 1985, the status quo changed in 1986 when first shots
were fired by Pakistani guerrillas who had taken to armaments against Hindus.
In January 1986, massive riots occurred in Anantnag (Southern Kashmir), in
which the minority community (Pandits) lost nearly 300 homes and two temples
were burnt down.
When Russia was finally driven out of Afghanistan in 1989,
large number of highly trained terrorists with huge cache of modern arms
suddenly found themselves without a cause, without a job and without any money
or aid from US. They knew nothing except how to infiltrate and kill. These men
were solely trained in terrorism. Pakistan then sent these highly trained
terrorists / mujahedin in Kashmir, where propagated that there was a similar
freedom movement of Kashmiri’s Muslims against Indian (Hindu) “occupation and
control”.
Since 1989, the level of persecution of Hindus increased
manifold. The killings, rape and plunder of Kashmiri Hindus started in earnest
with the death of a prominent social worker in Srinagar on September 14, 1989,
now recognized as the "Martyrs? Day". Starting with prominent
citizens in the valley, including political leaders and government officials,
the killings became increasingly random and gruesome. On April 6, 1990, Mrs.
Girja Tikoo, a housewife in Kupwara district of Kashmir, was gang raped by Islamic
militants and then cut into pieces by a wood saw. The Financial Times of London
in a story from Srinagar dated April 1, 1992, described the agony of a Hindu
family in Srinagar that gave food and shelter to two armed Muslim terrorists
who initially promised no harm, but raped the women folk and killed the family
any way.
Over ten thousand Kashmiri Pandits, which represent a significant proportion of their population, were killed by Islamic militants in nearly a two year period. The militants had a clear motive to drive non-Muslim "infidels" out of the State to create the Nizam-e-Mustafa (Muslim paradise), and it was not unusual to see posters and announcements asking Pundits to leave the valley. Nearly all of the Kashmiri Pundits, who were lucky to escape from the terror, did so starting from January 1990. Today, practically the entire indigenous population of Kashmiri Pundits is displaced and living in wretched make-shift refugee camps in North India. The statistics do not do full justice to their misery. A total of 72,077 families, were driven out due to ethnic cleansing. 9309 homes have been burnt down, along with 1659 small business shops. A total of 93 temples, 27 Mosques and 2 Sikh Gurudwaras were destroyed in during the period 1986-1997. Today, nearly 50,000 families are living in refugee camps, with approximately 60% camped in Jammu region and the rest in Delhi region. The total number of Kashmiri Pundits refugees (216,820 in Jammu and 143,565 in New Delhi for a total of 360,385). No one seems to care about the fate of Kashmiri Pundits.

There are continuing attacks on villages harboring Pundits
in the valley and many Pundits, along with Sikhs and Muslims, have lost their
lives. A particularly gruesome massacre took place in Wandhama on the night of
January 25, 1998, when the entire population of Kashmiri Hindus; men, women and
children; was wiped out by Islamic terrorists. While not a single Muslim was
harmed, the terrorists systematically locked Kashmiri Pundits in their homes
that were subsequently torched. The choice given to these unfortunate victims
was either to be burnt alive or to bail out and be cut down by AK-47s. In the
mayhem 23 Pundits lost their lives. Such brutality continues up to this day and
will not cease as long as terrorists roam freely in Kashmir.
It should be noted that in spite of brutality and
humiliation that Pundits have suffered in the past two decades, NOT ONE case
exists where a Kashmiri Pundit has resorted to any violence in return. Kashmiri
Pundits have paid a heavy price for their nonviolent and tolerant behavior.
Ms. Mary McGrory, a columnist for the Washington Post explained it this way (August 27, 1992): "Across the globe in Kashmir, blameless people are suffering hellish persecution not for anything they did but for being who they are. The Kashmiri Pundits, a minority Hindu sect that has lived in Kashmir for 5,000 years, would like to go home. They have been driven off their ancestral land by terrorism of Islamic guerrillas who wish to annex Kashmir to the crescent of fundamentalist countries in the area. India, which will do anything to keep Kashmir in its possession, has refused to acknowledge the existence of the Pundits in refugee camps along the border, because they do not want to add a religious element to the problem."
Pakistan government more or less agreed with the assessment
that Kashmiri Pundits were victims of ethnic cleansing. In response to the
McGrory?s column, Mr. Malik Zahoor Ahmad, the Press Attache in the Embassy of
Pakistan wrote to the Post editor on August 28, 1992, "I was surprised to
read that the Kashmiri refugees mentioned are the notorious Kashmiri Pundits
who had wielded disproportionately excessive powers in the Kashmir valley and
have now been driven out by the hitherto oppressed Kashmiri people."
In many ways, problems with the Pundits and the whole issue of religious fundamentalism in India, was fostered by the Congress Party which spoke of "secularism", but really meant appeasement towards a particular religion. The reasons were entirely parochial. The polling research showed that minorities tended to vote as a block, and as the Congress Party degenerated into a dynasty rule where corruption became rampant, the Party discovered a new way to keep itself in power. Obviously, in a multi-ethnic and a multi-religious country, such a move was bound to lead to some reaction, and it did. India has done poorly in debating nationalism in public. And the vote bank politics, invented by the Congress Party and used even more voraciously by successor governments, has done more harm to Indian polity than any other single development in the history of this budding nation.

Who was the real Hero of India's Freedom ?
Who was responsible for Decolonization / Freedom of India
(and 100+ 3rd World Countries) – Adolf Hitler, Subash Chander Bose or Mohan das
K Gandhi.
As India enters 65th year of its ‘independence’ from
Britain, it is time to pause and reflect as what caused 300 years old British
Empire to dissolve and crumble within 20 years of the end of World War 2.
Who can be called father of India or 100+ Third World
Countries or De-Colonization?
Lies being taught;
Congress Party under leadership of Mohandasss Gandhi and
Jawahar Lal Nehru by their non violent Quit India movement got India its
Independence.
It was said that even in his dreams Nehru only dreamed of
Edvina Mountbatten.
Now the truth;
Let us examine the role of Neville Chamberlain, Winston
Churchill and Adolf Hitler or Clement Atlee, in India’s freedom in the light of
events preceding Indian Independence in 1947;
Under World War 2 Treaty of Versailles, Germany was cut in
several pieces and gifted to other nations. Since 1935, some of these several
pieces i.e. Saar region, Rhineland, Austria, Sudetenland by the movements of
their own citizens gradually rejoined their fatherland – Germany without a
single shot being fired.
Danzig and German Corridor was last of such places with 98%
German Population. From March 1939, Poland began programme of extermination of
Germans in this city and murdered more than 45,000 Germans. On August 10,
1939; Albert Forster, Gauleiter for Danzig, addressed a crowd of 100,000
in Danzig and invited Adolf Hitler to free them from tyranny of Polish
communists. On August 25, 1939, Germany asks for plebiscite in this area to
allow Freedom to people of this city to choose their own destiny. Poland/England
refused to allow Plebiscite or freedom to people to choose their own destiny.
On September 1, 1939, Germany enters German city Dangiz (under illegal Polish
Possession) to protect German citizens from further massacre. On September 3,
1939, England and France declare war on Germany thus beginning World War 2. See
here for causes of world war-2
After end of 6 years, 72 million had died, Europe and
Britain lay in ruins and communist Russia took over half of Europe including
Poland and that small German city of Danzig (part of Germany in 1918 whose
citizens were denied Freedom by England) over which England and France declared
War on Germany thus beginning World War 2. Neville chamberlain refused to allow
plebiscite in Danzig and declared war on Germany, Winston Churchill twice
declined peace offer by Hitler once when France fell and second when Germany
allowed besieged English forces to escape from Dunkirk and instead continued on
his path of England’s destruction.
World War 2 or Churchill's / Hitler’s war;
Even if Indians had wanted England to stay and built
remaining railways, airports, dams, roads, bridges laying down of electric
cables and water pipes etc (which incidentally have not been built even after
60 years by corrupt Congress regime - but blueprints prepared by English are
still available), Britain would have left India in 1947 purely for its own
military and economic insolvency back home.
Before Hitler, England and France had attacked and enslaved
more than 100 countries and 100s of billions of its citizens in Africa, Asia,
America including Canada, and Australia, New Zealand etc. England & France
were like a big bully of your school snatching away candy of small children the
3rd world countries. America got its independence by armed struggle with the
help of French Army because of fighting between England & France over world
domination. In 1939, Before WW-2, Britain occupied 25% of total land area on
earth and 25% of world population.
Then along came Hitler who single handedly made German a
superpower in a matter of five years. Hitler was a genius. Son of a
customs official it took tremendous ability to rise from an obscure background
of a corporal in 1919 to mastery of a nation in 1933 that had long been
governed by aristocratic elites. And it took greater ability still to elevate
that nation in a mere 5 years from demoralization and bankruptcy to mastery of
a continent. He was also attacked by England and France. But this time
England and France took on more than they could chew. France was overrun in a
matter of 2 weeks; England lay in ruins and became insolvent. From a zero in
1933, Hitler took Germany to such heights that it took the might of all powers
America, Britain, China, Russia, France and 50 other nations etc to defeat
Germany. His defeat was mainly due because his enemies (US, USSR, England,
France, China and 50 other nations) had far more resources to prevail. Adolf
didn't. Hitler had also banned atomic and chemical weapons.
Within 20 years of the end of WW2 Britain was back to its
small hole in Atlantic. After WWII, Britain left not only India but nearly all
its other holdings, including Jordan in 1946, Palestine in 1947, Sri Lanka in
1948, Myanmar in 1948, and Egypt in 1952 and 50 other nations within years
thereafter. For the same reason, France also had to grant independence to Laos
in 1949 and Cambodia in 1953, and had to leave Vietnam in 1954 and other 30
nations within years thereafter. None of the other nations whether under
England or French Colonialism had Mohandass K Gandhi, or Subash Chander Bose
yet all countries got their independence.
Hitler thus takes the credit for an action that freed 100+
countries and billions of people from slavery and tyranny of Britain and
France. Every one of these countries had their own freedom fighters, People like
Subash Chander Bose, Bhagat Singh, Chander Shekhar Azad, Gandhi etc but they
were only ‘also ran’ category and were not critical or even main players in
Independence of 100+ nations.
Thanks to Hitler, those 100 nations who were like small
children whose candies were being snatched by big bullies like England and
France for their desire of world domination got their freedom from these
tyrants. Has any other person does so much for freedom of the 100s of the
billions of the humans of world?
In fact if the Second World War had not taken place; England may have never left India. Maybe the 21st century would have dawned with England still owning its colonies and sun never setting on English empire. But for Hitler several billion people in 70+ colonies of England might still be singing ‘God Save the Queen’. This is not an airy statement but one very plausible. The credit for reducing Great Britain to this dire strait thus must go to Hitler who financially and militarily destroyed England, where holding on to colonies became impossible or impracticable. The following are the details of destruction and losses suffered by England because of Hitler;
Military losses;
England suffered loss of approx 5,000,000 men (including
civilians), several million more lay injured and incapacitated or disabled. It
affected almost 8% of entire population on England before start of war. Its
naval supremacy came to no use. Air supremacy ruled. Most of its cities and
industries lay in ruins. In India, England had greatly inducted Hindus in its
army for use in World War 2. Now the Hindus had nowhere else to fight. They
greatly outnumbered English force. The strength of Hindus in the English army
had increased from 200,000 to 2,500,000 Hindus. England manpower stood at same
levels at less than 70,000 men. For England to maintain its hold over India it
required at least one Englishman against three locals. They required 800,000
more men. England had no more forces to commit, rather it required its own
manpower back in England to rebuild it as most of its cities and industries lay
in ruins.
Economic conditions;
Within 1 year of war, England had spent all it gold and
dollar reserves. England’s Treasury was empty. During the war it was dependent
on lend lease from United States which US ended after War on September 2nd,
1945. Under the lend lease, a total of $31.4 billion (at 1939 prices) aid was
given by US to Britain, Now it may be worth 100 billion. In the 1945
General Election Attlee led the Labor Party to triumph at the polls. People of
England had realized that Winston Churchill was a war monger and for his personal
excitement in seeing death had led them to an unnecessary war, killing 72 million including 500,000 of its own citizens. People of
England were angry with huge extravaganza of war over a small German city of
Danzig and horrendous conclusions when Danzig along with whole of Poland and
half of Europe was gifted to arch enemy Russia. England became insolvent.
England begged more funds from Washington. To stave off Insolvency of England,
US provided a low interest loan of $3.75 billion in 1946, followed by Marshall Plan("European Recovery Program")
grants of $3 billion (which was 25% of total plan outlay under Marshall Plan).
It had no money to pay for large Indian workforce of several million. Both the
manpower and money were essentially needed at home to rebuild its destroyed
cities and industries.
Food shortages;
England suffered food shortages. Food rationing was
introduced. In 1945 rationing levels were (All figures per person per week);
Bacon & Ham was limited to 113 g, sugar 227 g, tea 57 g, meat 57 g, cheese
28 g, butter 57 g, sweets 340 g even biscuits and cereals all rationed. Food
rationing increased after the War. Bread, was rationed from 1946 to 1948;
potato rationing began in 1947.
Reason for Independence as given during debate in England’s
House of Commons;
“We have recruited our workers for the war; they have been
demobilized after the war. They are required to repair the factories
damaged by Hitler’s bombers. Moreover, they want to join their kith and
kin after five and a half years of separation. Their kith and kin also want to
join them. In these conditions if we have to rule India for a long time,
we have to keep a permanent British army for a long time in a vast country of
four hundred millions. We have no such army….” Sir Stafford Cripps,
intervening in the debate on the motion to grant Indian Independence in
the British House of Commons in 1947 quoted in ‘The Freedom Struggle
and the Dravidian Movement’ by P. Ramamurti, Orient Longman, 1987.
Neville Chamberlain declared World War-2 when he declared war on Germany and Winston Churchill is responsible for end of Empire when he twice refused peace offer by Hitler, once when Paris fell and twice when Hitler allowed British forces to evacuate safely / escape from Dunkirk.

Role of Subash Chander Bose in India’s freedom;
Many of my friends have called for role of Subash Chander
Bose. Their arguments are ; Gandhi, launched the “Quit India”movement in
August 1942, demanding the immediate withdrawal of the British from India
or face nationwide civil disobedience. Along with all other Congress leaders,
Gandhi was immediately imprisoned, and the country erupted in small violent
demonstrations. The large war- time British Army presence in India led to most
of the movement being crushed in a little more than six weeks;
With Congress leaders in jail after quit India movement,
attention turned to Subhas Bose, who had been ousted from the Congress in 1939
Bose turned to the Axis powers for help with liberating India by force. With
Japanese support, he organized the Indian National Army, composed largely of
Indian soldiers of the British Indian army who had been captured at Singapore
by the Japanese. Provisional Government of Azad Hind (Free India), presided by
Bose, was short lived; after the reverses of 1944, the reinforced British
Indian Army in 1945 first halted and then reversed the Japanese offensive,
beginning the successful part of the Burma Campaign. Bose's Indian
National Army surrendered with the recapture of Singapore.
When Japan Surrendered, the British charged 20,000 men with
treason. They decided to hold the Trial in Public at the red fort in Delhi. The
first three of Bose's men to be charged were a Hindu, a Muslim and a Sikh. On
November 21 and 23, 1945 a mass demonstration took place in Kolkota (Calcutta).
Police shot more than 200 people of whom 33 died. Then the British decided to
put on trial only those men INA men who were charged with committing murder or
brutality against other POW's. However, Kolkata (Calcutta) simply exploded when
in February 1946, Abdul Rashid Khan of INA was given seven years imprisonment
for murder. Unrest began with Muslims and soon joined by students. Both the
Police and Army were called to put down the 'almost revolution'. This time
nearly 400 hundred people were shot down out of whom nearly 100 were killed.
Khan's trial gave thousands of Indian's an excuse to revolt. revolt started
with Sailor's mutiny it spread from Karachi to Bombay and from Vizag to
Calcutta involving 78 ships, 20 shore establishments and 20,000 men/sailors.
British forbade BBC from broadcasting the revolt.
This sailor's revolt / mutiny spurred the new Labour
government in Britain to action, leading to the Cabinet Mission to India
led by the Secretary of State for India, Lord Pethick Lawrence, including
Sir Stafford Cripps, who had visited four years earlier. The Labour
government in Britain, its cities at home in ruins, its exchequer insolvent by
World War II, and conscious that it did not have the mandate at home, decided
to end British rule of India, and in early 1947 Britain announced its intention
of transferring power no later than June 1948.
Points to ponder:
With all respect to people of India and particularly to
those of Bengal I have a few questions?
1. INA (Indian national Army) was made up of Indian POWS
captured by Japan in WW2, If there was no WW2 there would have been no INA.
2. If Japan was not at war with England in WW2, Japan
would not have supported INA?
3. If there was no INA, there would
be no trials. No trials - No mutiny - No riots.
4. WW2 strength of natives in
English army would have remained at 200,000 and ratio unaffected.
Even Subash Chander Bose knew that Key to billions of people around the World from tyranny of England and France lay with Adolf Hitler, and so he decided to meet him.
Even Subash Chander Bose knew that Key to billions of people around the World from tyranny of England and France lay with Adolf Hitler, and so he decided to meet him.
So we go back to answering the question - what led to
India’s and 100 other countries to freedom within 20 years of end of World War
2 and financial and military destruction of England in World War 2? There is
only one Answer - Adolf Hitler or Neville Chamberlain who declared World war-2
or Winston Churchill who twice refused cease fire / peace offer by Hitler.
Role of Mohandass K Gandhi In India’s freedom;
Gandhi and the Congress Party opted for a “Quit India
Movement” against the British in 1942 and he spread the slogan “Do or Die,”
which in fact Subhas Chander Bose had proposed in 1938. The British government
arrested all the top Congress Party leaders. The movement fizzled out entirely
within a matter of six weeks. In fact as they had hanged Bhagat Singh they
could have easily done away with Gandhi or imprisoned him in a far away island
like they imprisoned Napoleon at St. Helena in the South Atlantic. British had
propped up Gandhi for harmless fun secure in their knowledge that its
non-violent movement had no effect on them.
Chief Justice P.B. Chakrabarty of Calcutta High Court, who
had also served as the acting Governor of West Bengal in India, disclosed the
following in a letter addressed to the publisher of Dr. R.C. Majumdar’s book A
History of Bengal:
“You have fulfilled a noble task by persuading Dr. Majumdar
to write this history of Bengal and publishing it … In the preface of the book
Dr. Majumdar has written that he could not accept the thesis that Indian
independence was brought about solely or predominantly by the non-violent civil
disobedience movement of Gandhi. When I was the acting Governor, Lord Atlee,
who had given us independence by withdrawing the British rule from India, spent
two days in the Governor’s palace at Calcutta during his tour of India. At that
time I had a prolonged discussion with him regarding the real factors that had
led the British to quit India. My direct question to him was that since
Gandhi’s “Quit India” movement had tapered off quite some time ago and in 1947
no such new compelling situation had arisen that would necessitate a hasty
British departure, why did they have to leave? In his reply Atlee cited several
reasons, the principal among them being the erosion of loyalty to the British Crown
among the Indian army and navy personnel as a result of the military activities
of Netaji [Subhash Chandra Bose].

Epic story - Mahabharata - that Gods never supported Castism or Untouchability.
After the great battle of Mahabharata, Lord Shri Krishna travelled home to Dwaraka. On the way he met Uttankara, a holyman who lived in the desert.I bow to you, Lord Krishna,said Uttankara,How are you, and how are your cousins, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Do they live happily together? Lord Krishna was amazed.
Uttankara lived in the desert and had heard of the great battle at Kurukshetra. Lord Krishna sadly told him the whole story. Uttankara became angry.You are the King of the Universe. You could have stopped this terrible fight! I will curse you.Just as Uttankara was about to hurl his curse, Lord Krishna revealed his divine form.I am the Lord of the Universe. All that happened is part of my divine will. Be happy Uttankara and know that this battle was part of my mysterious play! Accept from me a gift.
Ask what you like. Uttankara said,I have seen your divine form. What more could I ask? But Lord Krishna insisted, so Uttankara asked,I live in the desert and I am often thirsty. Please, O Lord, grant me water whenever I ask for it.So be it!said the Lord, and he went on his way.
Some time later Uttankara was meditating in the desert when he began to be troubled by thirst. He prayed for water and, suddenly, a dirty, low-born hunter with five hunting dogs and an old leather water bag walked up to him.Have drink! he person cried, offering the leather bag. Uttankara was horrified. Such should not approach or speak to a holy man!
Go away he said. The hunter tried again, but Uttankara became angry. The hunter disappeared suddenly and Uttankara thought, Surely this was a God and I have failed a test Then Lord Shri Krishna appeared: O Uttankara, what give you Amrita, the nectar of immortality instead. Indra insisted on testing you to. have you done? You asked for water and I asked Lord Indra, King of the Gods to give you to see if you were worthy. You would have lived forever if you had taken a drink from the hunters leather bag. From now on you must work to see no difference between a stone and gold, between pleasure and pain, and between a rough hunter and a holy man.
Uttankara bowed low and accepted this task given to him by the Lord Shri Krishna.
What Actually our Caste or Varna System was And what Evil It has Become Now ?
Earlier caste or Varna in Sanskrit were decided on the basis of a profession or karma (actions or duties) one followed. And no caste was superior or inferior from one another.
Some people just for their selfish motives and greed started this upper and lower caste/varna concept.
Since the children in earlier times learnt at home, this resulted in that the children had the same professions as their parents. Therefore, a trend of expectation started that the children of a person or family of particular cast/varna/profession/karma would have same caste/varna/profession/karma. Since under such education system almost all the relatives too had the same profession therefore communities having same professions evolved.
This is what actually the concept of caste or Varna was.
But now a day since one is free to choose her or his profession due to the change in education system, therefore today a family in India can have members from different castes or varnas.
Hence to differentiate and treat one on the basis of the varna of their ancestors is ambiguous. What profession one follows, what kind lives she/he lives and morals she/he follows at present defines one's varna. Not just her/his profession.
And repeating again what I said earlier, no varna even today is superior or inferior from one another. All are equal before God. Our Gods have always defied the untouchability introduced by us humans in the varna system and that can be viewed here.
And since we humans created those stupid practices which hurt the sentiments and self respect of other fellow human beings, therefore we should only stop following them and shun those who still want to follow them. Just because our ancestors started them does not mean they should be carried on. Anyone can make a mistake. We are after all humans only and humans only commit mistakes, and what use are those traditions and practices which make us unhappy?
But I do not bolster that you start defying each and every tradition that has been prevalent from past till today. There are some traditions which do have sense and some scientific reasoning too (oh yes there are). Therefore we should shun only those traditions that hurt the self respect of others or physically hurt others.
GOI- Blinded and checkmated by Italy
Yes that is true. GOI (Government of India) seriously missed a step and slipped on the ladder of presence of mind. They sent two marines back first - for Christmas and second - to vote. In the first case India should have remained firm if it had wanted to be taken seriously by both Rome and Italy and as for the second case the GOI went horribly wrong.
Without any knowledge or research on the voting rights of the Italian marines, it sent them to their homelands to vote. This is either sheer lack of knowledge or done deliberately to please the Italian government.
They were kidding themselves if they thought any country will respect our system of justice, because in-spite of its presence we do have criminals in our holy parliament
Due to this incident no other nation will consider India as a nation with serious commitments to justice and sovereignty.
