Present Indian Scene



Quotas

You cannot simultaneously admire MBC, OBC, SC, ST etc., caste politics for votes and build a nation to be proud of in the comity of nations.

Quota stirs are blackmailing politicians at the state and Center level and making politicians insincere and non-caring for development of India as a whole. They are sacrificing good for India immersed in caste vote bank politics. Quotas will make politicians to take a stand which the politicians are not capable of. Politicians want to eat the cake and have it too. 

Indiscriminate, corrupt and inefficient Politicians dominated Indian democracy. They cannot do anything useful and do not allow any fair dealing lest they lose their power.
For, they continuing in power and also bring in their family members, kith and kin into power politics, the politicians are indulging in vote bank politics and showering of freebies at the expense of national financial and economic health. 

Can the nation afford to continue catering to the whims and fancies of current set of selfish people as politicians?

Youth and Role Models

It is not teachers who inspire Indians. It is not scientists who inspire Indians. It is not philosophers who inspire Indians. It is not poets who inspire Indians. It is not writers who inspire Indians.
It is not spirituality and ancient Indian wisdom which inspire Indians. It is none of musicians, sculptors, artists, and other experts in fine-arts and crafts and skills who inspire Indians.
It is not nature which inspires Indians. It is not adventure which inspires.

It is movie stars who inspire Indians. It is sports-persons, who make money of certain games, inspire Indians. It is politicians who inspire Indians. In a bizarre way it is persons who illegally and in corrupt ways amass money are inspiring Indians as many Indians have been already tutored by circumstances to love "progress", "growth", have all comforts of life by hook or crook towards materialism, consumerism and atheistic ways of life.

It is CEOs of various Indian and multi-national corporations who inspire Indians.

It is not bad that above category of individuals inspire Indians. But the culture, civilization, values and sagacity should also inspire Indians; so that the role models from solely money categories do not dominate Indian youth; which is becoming detrimental for these young Indian men and women to become fine and nice human beings. 

This is a serious sociological problem; unless addressed to and remedies taken, becomes a gigantic psychological problem in relation to human relationships, values, and as a whole to the human dignity, humaneness, compassion and nearness and dearness.
Human - beings will become robots or demons in the absence of proper human bonds, connection and communication.

Spirituality

India which boasts about its spirituality and spiritual seers, is now successfully changed into a nation where money making is glorified and celebrated at the expense of spirituality and spirituality is completely neglected and relegated to corner and individuals making money and only money matters are encouraged. It is the greatest irony of our times. Money making is essential but the way it replaced spirituality and cultural and civilized values that many are mocking at spirituality.

Added to this the state-sponsored and or self-created "spiritual" masters are completely changing the face of Indian spirituality and its Grace and Poise. "Spirituality" of a new kind is initiated and commercialized spirituality so arrogantly and with full of disrespect; that seers and sanyasis of the yore will have condemned the commercial spiritual workers of today to no extent and will have seen that such "masters' and "Gurus" are discredited and ridiculed publicly for their lust for money and all material comforts they are "enjoying" and should have shamed them for their lack of any spirituality.

It is really pathetic and worrisome that such a great Indian tradition of spirituality is degraded, deranged, de-dignified, defaced and made so graceless sans poise and stature.
