SARCASTIC SATIRE ;
BIHAR CHIEF MINISTER JATIN RAM MANJHI EXPRESSES ITS GRATITUDE !
Jatin Ram Manjhi,dalit chief minister has expressed its gratitude to governing body of Parmeswaristan temple [Mahubani district] for their magnanimity to spare him from the prescribed punishment for religious blesphamy ,which is as under :-
#   "Ath ha asya vedan upshrunvat.......[Gotam dharam sutra,2/3/4 and Apastamba Dharma sutra 3/10-26].

Exposition :-The tongue of a shudra.who spoke evil about a Brahman,should be cut off.A shudra who dares to assume a position of  equality with first three castes is to be flogged.If a shudra overheard a recitation of Vedas,molten tin [sisa] is to be poured in his ears,if he recited the vedas,his tongue should be cut and if he tries to remember  vedic hymns,his body should be torn into pieces.

Mr. Manjhi has appreciated humanistic approach of the governing body,who ordered only cleaning of temple and washing of idols,following his visit to said temple.Meanwhile, Hindu Dharam Sabha,has complimented governing body of the temple for their sincere and honest efforts for maintaining hegemony of Brahmanism and sanctimonious sanctity of the temple.

POPULIST HINGLISH  DISINTEGRATING  ENGLISH;
Hinglish has become order of the day and is more or less tremendously popular,not only among youth but hugely popular in advertisers taglines,literature,movies.short message service [SMS],songs,graffiti,and even day to day conversations and communication,though it is fast disintegrating fundamentals of classical English.Accordingly English language is going through a critical and precious phase.I strongly feel that the way people converse isn't cool at all and on the contrary it is actually killing the essence of this rich language.What saddens me most is that  various publications and some of the celebrity writers too have joined the chorus of 'linguistic populism'. The SMS/whatsapp 21st century generation has got preference and priority for its own exclusive spellings-linguistic innovation indeed.Any way,the trouble with Hinglish is that it can cause havoc when clear,meaningful and purposeful communication is required,
Substantial number of current popular Hinglish terms are adaptation of English words, which are assigned a specific English meaning. There is no uniformity of such words and in the absence of any linguistic conglomeration,those words differ from region to region and person to person.Most common process is the formation of nouns from words of various parts of speech in standard English.Examples currently in vogue include :-
# Would be [noun]~~~~~~~~~~~Fiance or fiancee.
# Opticals   [noun]~~~~~~~~~~~Spectacles,glasses.
# Time pass[noun]~~~~~~~~~~~An activity that is not very interesting but passes the time.
# Nose screw [noun]~~~~~~~~~A nose stud as a fashion accessory.
# Air dash   [noun]~~~~~~~~~~Air travel,travel by plane.
Full list loaded with words from Hindi and other regional languages cannot be compiled and presentation here is just symbolic one .

CONSCIOUS IGNORANCE, LIES, DISTORTION -POSING AS TRUTH FOR ULTERIOR MOTIVES !
The Rashtriya  Swayamsevak Sangh in order to subvert and convert constitutional wise modern,secular and democratic republic of India into a Hindu Rashtra' has initiated the process of redefining and rewriting history of the nation..In this latest exercise of redefining and rewriting history, Bhaiyaji Joshi,the second in command of RSS hierarchy,says that the "shudras" were never untouchables in Hindu scriptures. "Islamic atrocities" during the medieval age resulted in the emergence of untouchables, Dalits and Indian Muslims. Symbolizing "extraordinary hypothesis" and echoing a similar tone,another top RSS functionary writes that the oppressed castes and sub-castes came into existence as a result of atrocities against Brahmins and kshatriyas during the Islamic rule.
It will be very pertinent to quote here 'celebrated verses' from divine scriptures under which Shudras have been denigrated en mass in an most abominable manner and virtually there is sanctimonious sanctity for such denigration and character assassination in almost all scriptures.
# "Brahmno asya mukham aaseet....."[Rig Veda,Pursh Sokth,10-90-12].
Exposition :-Brahmans have emerged from the mouth of the god, kshatriyas have emerged from arms,Vaishyas from thighs ,while shudras have emerged from the foot of the god.
# "Lokanaam to vivradya artham........"[Manusmriti,1/33]
Exposition :-In order to increase the population of the world, Brahma gave birth to Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra from mouth,arms,thighs and foot respectively.
# "Bhutanaam pranina shreshta......."[Ibid, 1/97].
Exposition :-Of created beings the most excellent are said to be those which are animated; of the animated,those which subsist by intelligence;of the intelligent mankind and of men are the brahmans.
# "Utpatir ev viprasya......."[Ibid, 1/99].
Exposition:-The very birth of a brahman is an eternal incarnation of the sacred law;for he is born to fulfil the sacred law and becomes one with brahman.
# "Brahmano jaymano he....."[Ibid, 1/100].
Exposition :-Whatever exists in the world is the property of the Brahman on account of the excellence of his origin.The Brahmana is indeed entitled for all.
# "Viprsya aiv shudrasya vishishttam.....[Ibid, 10/120].
Exposition :-The service of Brahmanas alone is declared an excellent occupation for a shudra;for whatever else besides this he may perform will bear him no fruit.
# "Ath ha asya vedan upshrunvat.......[Gotam dharam sutra,2/3/4]and Apastamba Dharma sutra 3/10-26.

Exposition :-The tongue of a shudra.who spoke evil about a Brahman,should be cut off.A shudra who dares to assume a position of  equality with first three castes is to be flogged.If a shudra overheard a recitation of Vedas,molten tin [sisa] is to be poured in his ears,if he recited the vedas,his tongue should be cut and if he tries to remember  vedic hymens,his body should be torn into pieces.
#"Dosheelo api dwija pojyo"....[Parashar Smriti 8/33].
Exposition :-Depraved,pervert and debauch brahman is to be accorded honor and dignity in comparison to astute,intelligent and insightful shudra.
# " Maam he parth ...yo api syo paap yuniya.....[Geeta,9/32].
Exposition :-In case women, vaishya and shudra,who are product of sin and immorality -surrender to me,they are absolved from sin and immorality.
# Valmiki Ramayana,Uttara Kanda,chapter 73 -76.There is detailed exposition about how one dead brahmin boy regains his live status consequent upon brutal murder of shudra sage Shumbaka,by Rama himself ,for the 'crime' of observing penance and studying divine scriptures.
# "Dhool ganwar shudra pasu nari sakal tadana kay adhikari" [Ramcharitmanas,Sunderkand,62/3].
Exposition :-Drum,stupid,shudra,animal and women- all of them needs to be thrashed regularly.
Hindu scriptures are full of such abominable references as caste prejudice and denigration of shudras is integral part of said divine scriptures. I wonder whether 21st century ideologues of saffron brigade are going to redefine and rewrite scriptures along with Indian history for their vested interests and ulterior motives.

VALMIKI RAMAYANA :YET ANOTHER PORTRAYAL OF DIVINE FANTASIES AND IDIOSYNCRASIES !
Besides many classical versions of mythological epic poem Ramayana,there are at least three hundred versions of much talked about scripture, though oldest version is generally recognized to be the Sanskrit version Valmiki Ramayana which dates back approximately to 5th to 4th century BCE.Valmiki Ramayana consists of nearly 24,000 verses,compiled in 7 books [Kanda's] with 500 cantos [Sargas]. By virtue of being author of epic Ramayana,Valmiki has got the distinction of being harbinger-poet in Sanskrit literature.
Though scripture itself is classical example of divine fantasies and idiosyncrasies and apparently the imagination of author seems to have crossed all limits of logic and reason,it will be very pertinent here to provide exposition of some well known and popular divine caprice.
# King Dasaratha performed 'putrakameshti' yajna under the divine expertise of sage Shringya and  as the conclusion of the yajna drew nearer,divine person sprang out from the yajna fire with a pot of kheer [divine desert]. King was accordingly advised to distribute it to queens,which was consumed by queens in an disproportionate manner.Consequent upon,instant impregnation Kausalya gave birth to  Rama,Sumitra gave birth to Lakshman and Shatrughan and Kaikye gave birth to Bharata.
[Valmiki Ramayana;Bala Kanda, Sarg 16,shalok 23-31,page 66].
# King Sagar had two queens -Keshani and Sumati.While Keshani gave birth to only one son,Sumati gave birth to 60,000 sons.[Ibid,Bala Kanda,Sarg 38,Shalok 8,page 107].
# Ahalya, wife of sage Gautama,seduced [raped] by Indra ,was cursed by her husband for her supposed infidelity. Accordingly Ahalya remained invisible and sustained for thousands of years just on air. [Ibid,Bala Kanda,Sarg 48, Shalok 29,page 126].
# Shabala cow-when asked to 'create a power that can over power the power of opponent' created Pahlava kings,which sprang forth from her mooing 'hums' and hundreds of them annihilated the powerful army of Vishvamitra. [Ibid,Bala Kanda,Sarg 54, Shalok 17-18,page 136].
# During much publicized Ramarajya,average  age of children was 5,000 years.
  [Ibid,Uttara Kanda,Sarg 73,Shalok 5,page 771].
# One vulture Jatayu confronts Ravana on hearing the wailing of Sita.He being wise,intelligent and well versed in Sanskrit,tells Ravana about the view point of righteousness befitting to kings.
[Ibid,Aranya Kand,Sarg 50,Shalok 3,page 579].
# Dauntless Hanuman crossing and flying with the help of one single jump ,covering the distance of 100 Yojnas [800 Miles]. [Ibid,Sunder Kand,Sarg 1,Shalok 1-140,page 1-10].
# "Let all those monkey's and bears ,who have been killed in the battle by the demons and whose arms and heads have been severed ,be alive and active again"and miracle happens.
[Ibid,Yudh Kanda,Sarg 120, Shalok 13-14,page 568].
# "Soon after his birth the great demon Kumbhakarna,afflicted as he was by hunger,ate thousands of living creatures." [Ibid,Yudh Kanda, Sarg 61,Shalok 13,page 372].
# "Complying with sage Agastya's directive,mountain Vindhyachal ceased to heighten in order to establish comfortable path for the convenience of sage Agastya ".[Ibid, Aranya Kanda,Sarg 11,Shalok 85,page 497].
# "And those gods and other celestials in their amazement said among themselves that in just  one and half moharat [approximately 72 minutes] , Rama with sharp arrows ,killed 14000 demons including their chieftains Khara and Dushana.[Ibid,Aranya Kanda,Sarg 30,Shalok 31,page 536].
# A kite is supposed to snatch a fragment of Kheer [divine desert-which was used by king Dasaratha for impregnation of his queens] and dropped it while flying over the forest where Anjana was engaged in worship. Vayu deity of the world,delivered the falling pudding to the out stretched hands of Anjana,who consumed it,became pregnant and gave birth to Haumana [thus nomenclature Pavan Putar Hanuman] .[Ibid,Uttar Kanda, Sarg 35, Shalok 20, page 697].
# As a child, Hauman believing the Sun to be ripe Mango,he pursued it in order to eat it. Rahu ,a Vedic planet corresponding to an eclipse was at that time seeking out the Sun as well and he clashed with Hanuman,who thrashed Rahu and went to engulf Sun in his mouth.[Ibid,Uttar Kanda,Sarg 35,Shalok 29,page 698].
# King Yayati requested all his five sons one by one to exchange their respective youth with his old age ,in order to enjoy worldly happiness.All his sons except Puru rejected his idea. Accordingly Puru exchanged his youthfulness with old age of his father who in turn enjoyed sensual pleasures for one thousand years.Later King Yayati ,exchanged his youthfulness with  his son Puru ,receiving his old age in return.[Ibid,Uttar Kanda,Sarg 59, Shalok 6-7,page 741-42].
# Immediately after poor shudra Shambuka is tortured to death by Rama himself for the "crime" of performing penance along with study of scriptures [which was forbidden for Shudras under much publicized social justice under Rama rajya] ,dead Brahman boy regains life again.[Ibid, Uttar Kanda,Sarg 76, Shalok 15,page 776].

REMEMBERING GREAT SOCIAL REVOLUTIONARY :PERIYAR E.V.RAMASAMI !
Popularly known as Periyar, E.V.Ramasami [17 September 1879- 24 December 1973] better known as founder of unique movement-self respect movement ,was in essence a social revolutionary,a staunch rationalist,an original thinker and above all a great humanist. He fought relentlessly with total dedication and waged ceaseless and pactless struggle against superstitions,religious fanaticism,foolish dogmas,class prejudice and hegemony of upper castes,untouchability and perpetuation of widowhood.
It will be very pertinent here to mention that at the cross road leading to Kanchi Muth and within a stone's throw of it stands the bust of the one of the greatest social revolutionary of the sub continent and on the base is inscribed one of his golden sayings :-
There is no god.
There is no god.
There is no god at all.
The inventor of god is a fool.
The propagator of god is a scoundrel.
The worshipper of god is a barbarian.

M.F.HUSSAIN,BEING HOUNDED EVEN AFTER DEATH !
Inspired and encouraged by recent political changes,the obscurantists and fundamentalists ,are busy even today to hound M.F.Hussain,one of India's greatest painters,who was compelled to spend his last few years in exile before death.As per media reports,a Hussain painting displayed in a Mumbai five star hotel,had to be withdrawn by Delhi Art Gallery,which had organized the exhibition.Such is the cultural terrorist impact today that ,'action' was undertaken by DAG simply after one isolated guest complained that he was 'offended' by the work which showed Ganesha seated on his mothers lap.
Fear of violence and subsequent legal action under archaic laws [66 A and other related laws ]for hurting 'sensitiveness/sentiments'has become so real and precipitated fear psychosis,quite contrary to constitutional guarantees for fundamental rights,which include freedom of expression.
# Tailpiece : Bollywood star Salman Khan has been booked by Yavatmal police for a fashion show by his NGO,where a model wore a t-shirt inscribed with a word in Arabic.This allegedly 'hurt' Muslim sentiments !
Are we heading for a theocratic state ?

POLITICAL POPULISM;
AMBITION TO BE ANOTHER CHACHA !
Teachers day was virtually hijacked on the pattern of children day,but the resources utilized for live telecast,could be brought into service to improve infrastructure and attendance of schools, functioning under govt sector.May be,Hindi knowing students could make out some thing out of much publicized 'live communication' of honorable Prime Minister,but what about majority segment of all those students,for whom Hindi is just another version of Greek language ?
Modi’s link with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has guided his political philosophy. He has written admiringly of MS Golwalkar, the second sarsanghchalak of the RSS. Golwalkar’s ideas are problematic, to say the least: he speaks of denying citizenship to non-Hindus and expresses admiration at the way Nazi Germany purged its Jews, claiming that it was “a good lesson for Hindusthan to learn and profit by”. The intellectual core of the RSS is so far from current versions of modernity that they seem almost comic as well as medieval. Wisely, Modi does not speak publicly of matters like this, though he does not seem averse to foot soldiers such as Yogi Adityanath, Parveen Tagodia, Ashok Singhal or Giriraj Kishore and their nefarious divisive ideas. Accordingly,he has hardly contradicted or condemned their 'sermons'. .

Modi’s interaction with some of the nation’s children indicated that he wants to fashion himself as the new Nehru, but without building a concrete set of ideas that he can call his own – a “Modivian consensus”, so to speak – and thinking only of short-term political gains, he could end up being more like Indira or Rajiv: a powerful leader with hard political power but one who does little to change the intellectual paradigm of the nation in a meaningful and purposeful way .

Animal waste superior to Shudras

The Shastras also proclaimed that animals excreta is superior to Shudras because drinking of cows urine would purify the person defined by the touch of Shudra. (Samvart Smriti 183).
'Samvart Smriti' says if anyone belonging to the twice born category (Brahmin, Kshatriyas and Vaishya) happened take water by mistake from a holy place or from a river where Shudras what engaged in work, he should purify himself by taking 'panchagavya' ?a preparation of cow dung, cow urine, milk curd and ghee.
According to 'Prashar Smriti' if a twice born drinks water by mistake from a well that by Shudra he should fast for 24 hours. Again if the drinks the water from the well which had become impure by the touch of utensil belonging to a sweeper, he has to drink cow urine and eat barley soaked in cow's urine for period of three days. (Parasara Smriti Ch. 6).
The impurity caused by the touch of the Shudra is infectious if scriptures are the believed. For, even an indirect touch of the Shudra can defile a caste Hindu. In other words, a twice born can become impure if he is touched by those who have become polluted by coming in contact with the Shudra.
It is mentioned in the 'Apastambh Smriti' that a twice born after observing fast for one day and one night had to take 'Panchgavya' if he gets polluted by the contact of those who themselves were defiled by drinking water from the well made impure by a Shudra.

Shudra's divided

The Hindu lawgivers have tried their best to sow the seed of rift among Shudras themselves. They took great care to keep Shudras divided so that the question of their coming together could not arise.
According to 'Parashar Smriti,' Chapter 6, if a twice born vomits the water which he drank from the vessel belonging to a scavenger, he can get over the sin by observing 'Prajapaty' vow. In case he fails to vomit and it gets absorbed in his body, he must observe the 'Chandrayan' vow.
Even these vows have been categorized: 'Santapan' for Brahmins, 'Prajapaty' for Kshatriyas and 'Ardh Prajapatya' for Vaishyas.
If a twice born or a Shudra happens to drink water on milk or God from the vessel of an outcast Chandal, the former can escape from the scene by observing 'Brahm Varchas' vow and the later by austerity and charity according to his capacity.
'Atri Smriti' also corroborates this practice of atonement of sin with the slight difference. It recommends 'Chandrayan' for Brahmins and 'Santapan' for Kshatriyas. Vaishyas have to drink 'Panchgavya', after observing simple fast for six nights and a Shudra can mitigate the sin by charity after three nights fast.

MOST SPURIOUS METAPHYSICS OF ANCIENT INDIA !

• The Vedanta and its works are a compilation of quasi-religious opinions of the variety of the most absurd and bizarre speculative fantasies on cosmology, ontology and monastic life.

• In the view of some critics like Lala Hardayal and VR Narla, in their obsessive quest for Absolute truth, these treatises with their absurd conceits, quaint fancies and chaotic speculations represent some of the most spurious metaphysics of ancient India.

• While BR Ambedkar was more generous in giving the Upanishads some benefit of doubt, about its pockets of abstracted reformism, he yet ultimately concluded that these works were a “totally inconsequential piece of speculation with no beneficial impact on the Hindu society”.

• All or most of the doctrines of Vedanta are resting on the foundations of the ‘castles in the air’ type of flimsy scriptural and religious apologetic without any care or concern for its implications on the real world.

• In its current form, Vedanta is inspiring an orthodox Hindu revivalist creed riding on the bandwagon of cultish movements that are leading multitudes of Hindus into a wild-goose chase of Vedantic fantasies.

वाराणसी की तर्ज पर होगा क्योटो का ‘विकास’, पंडों अौर पनवारियों को जापान भेजेगा भारत !

क्योटो/नई दिल्ली। भारत और जापान के बीच हुए समझौते के तहत जहां वाराणसी का विकास जापानी शहर क्योटो की तर्ज पर स्मार्ट सिटी के रूप में किया जाएगा, वहीं क्योटो शहर को वाराणसी की तर्ज पर पुरातन पोंगापंडित व अस्वच्छ शहर में बदला जाएगा।

इसके लिए भारत बनारस के पंडों और पनवारियों को क्योटो भेजने पर सहमत हुआ है।

प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी की जापान यात्रा के दौरान भारतीय राजदूत दीपा वाधवा और क्योटो के मेयर दाइसाका कादोकावा ने शनिवार को इस समझौते पर दस्तखत किए थे। भारतीय अखबारों में केवल वाराणसी के संबंध में ही खबरें छपी थीं, लेकिन जापानी अखबारों में विस्तार से छपा है कि भारत क्योटो को एक ‘भारतीय’ शहर में बदलने के लिए क्या करेगा।

समझौते के तहत भारत अपने विशेष ठेकेदारों और इंजीनियरों को भेजकर क्योटो की कामो नदी के किनारे घटिया घाट बनवाएगा। ये ठेकेदार और इंजीनियर इस बात का ध्यान रखेंगे कि घाट पहली ही बारिश में इतने खराब हो जाएं कि भारतीयता का पूरा एहसास हो। इन घाटों को भारतीय पोंगापंडित लुक देने के लिए भारत पहले साल सौ पंडाें को भेजने पर भी राजी हुआ है। इन पंडों को इस तरह से प्रशिक्षित किया जाएगा कि वे शिंतो और बौद्ध धर्मावलंबियों से भी उसी तरह वसूली कर सकें जैसे वे वाराणसी के घाटों पर हिंदुओं से करते हैं।

इसी तरह वाराणसी के पनवारियों को भी क्योटो भेजा जाएगा, ताकि वहां पान चबाने की आदत विकसित की जा सके। क्योटो के लोगों को पान खाकर सड़कों व घाटों पर थूकने और अन्य कचरा फैलाने में दक्ष करने के लिए भारत से एक दल भी जापान भेजा जाएगा। जरूरत पड़ने पर पान खाकर पीक मारने में ट्रेंड कुछ भारतीयाें को भी वहां भेजा जा सकेगा ताकि वे क्योटो के लोगों को प्रेरित कर सकें।
