RAMAYANA


Ramayana is the immortal tale of Shri Rama that teaches us the values of ideology, devotion,   duty, relationships, dharma and Karma...The term “Ramayana”, literally means “the march (ayan) of Rama” in search of human values..

Unfortunately, we Indians seem to be losing connect with reality. There are various pulls and pushes which Hindus are facing within their own country. It is shockingly true that those Hindus who swear by Hinduism are termed “communal” while those hitting the bottom with appeasement of minorities are being “termed” Secular
.
While Hindus may be losing touch with reality of Ram, but, some countries are seriously adopting Ramayana in their educational and cultural and daily life
.
Communist China’s Universities are teaching Ramayana. Chinese are now turning to Ramayana to learn Hindi. Never would have the Govt in India taken such a step should it annoy a section of the minorities.
In Thai literature, the Ramayana story is called RAMAKIEN.The earliest evidence of Ramekien
dates back to the 13th century. Some names are kept the same, but most differ probably due to 
the phonetic differences of the language. In the past 200 odd years the capital of Thailand was AYUTTHAY (AYODHYA), Rama’s Kingdom in the epic.

The University of Wyoming's Summer High School Institute (HSI) has started teaching ancient Hindu scriptures Mahabharata and Ramayana in its Laramie (USA) campus. The curriculum of this class was titled "The Hindu Epic" which also includes learning about Hindu gods, Hindu way of worship etc.
Besides, International Ramayana Institute of North America is contributing towards learning’s of Ramayana
Ram Setu has been suddenly in news for last four years or so. Adam’s Bridge (Tamil atam palam)      also known as Rama’s Bridge or Ram Setu( Tamil: ஆதாம் பாலம் ātām pālam) is a chain of limestone shoals, between  Pamban Island, also known as Rameswaram Island...off the South Eastern coast of Tamil Nadu, India, and Mannar Island, off the north western coast of Sri Lanka
Geological evidence suggests that this bridge is a former land connection between India and Sri Lanka. While there are evidences in favour of Ram Setu, there are those in the Indian Govt who submitted an affidavit to the Apex court in India terming RAM as a “MYTH”. A senior anchor of a popular English news channel described RAM as “Divine Encroacher”.

Some political commentators also say that the behaviour of Govt of India is so considering dredging about Thorium Deposits & shipping project is an excuse to Mint Money at the Cost of Faith of Millions?

Having said this, there are millions of Indians, Hindus who swear by Ramayana and follow the teachings of Ramayana.

80:20



The 80:20 formula in every aspect of life is well known.
The same formula is being applied in India to keep it divided on religious and caste lines.
Indian polity has reached such shameful heights of minority appeasement that 20% is greater than 80%.

This is not about Karnataka elections.
This is about India.
This about democracy in India.

It is also about divided Hindus. 20% of minorities are the deciding factor in Govt formation in Delhi because they vote as group, as a community en masse while, Hindus are perpetually divided on basis of Caste, sub-Caste, Region and language. Historically, we have been a divided community for centuries. Mughals ruled us, British ruled us. And now it is.........??????
It was not their strength, it has been our weakness.

This appeal from KARNATAKA MUSLIM MUTTAHIDA MAHAZ speaks volumes.

May be, it is time for Hindus too to learn from their Muslim brothers and stand united to steer Indian polity to its democratic best.

Perhaps, it is time to coin a fresh phrase---- 20:80  in place of 80:20.

APPEASMENT OR GENUINE CONCERN?



Every political party finds and creates a vote bank to ensure minimum percentage of votes, especially in a Parliamentary Democracy.

Has India lost its balance?
Where are we going wrong?
Why are we not looking at the bigger picture?
Why is India becoming islamised?
Why are we sacrificing our national interests over votes?

1...Mumbai gets its first Shariah court to settle civil, marital disputes.
If Sharia courts are acceptable to our society and law makers,why is the same system objecting to Khap Panchayats?

2...Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has made it mandatory to wear Sherwani.
Are we not setting a dangerous tend allowing a religion to decide university dress code?

3...Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has launched an Islamic equity index based on the wide-measure S&P BSE 500 index, providing a new benchmark for Islamic investors.

While India is doing what it can to keep Muslim vote bank intact, there are reports  that State Bank Of India Officers Association has suspended a teacher for reciting Hindu prayer(dailypioneer.com/nation/107167-…)

Ever wondered as to why Muslims in Muslim majority countries do not favour secularism, whereas Muslims insist upon secularism where ever they are in minority??
