Anashwa Rathas, Pushpak Vimaanaas ..... and a Knowledge Society
The social theory of a Knowledge Society explains how knowledge is fundamental to the politics, economics and culture of modern society. Associated ideas include Knowledge Economy created by economists ( note that we have ignored Amartya Sen) and the Learning Society created by educators (are Batra- Purandare- Oak our educators?) In a Knowledge Society, individuals, communities and organizations produce knowledge intensive work. (never mind the gun toting and laathi wielding RSS and their "bhakts"disseminating photo-shopped information).READ
Mr CM, this is what Hindu means...
Hindu was the name of one of the sons of the eleventh wife of Prophet Mohammed Paigamber.READ
True Religion
All the currently practiced religions -- whether Hinduism as is practiced today, or Islam, Christianity, Buddhism of today or any other -- are only different forms of entertainment for the hapless individual. They are nothing but dramas enacted by colorfully clothed priests or bhatmams and their imaginatively decorated Gods placed in swanky showrooms with appealing ambiance called temple, church, mosque, Gurudwara etc. They have nothing whatsoever to do with true religion. It is high time we Indians realize this.READ
Masters of Mediocrity
We have a Principal secretary to the Prime Minister who has been appointed by patently unlawful means by a Prime Minister who was the once tainted Chief Minister of Gujarat and managed to clean the blood on his hands with the help of RSS think tanks and Adani-Ambani's money.READ
Roses, Roses, all the way.....
With this verdict, India has entered into the prison of Hindutva in search of a few dollars more. That, to me, is an act of irresponsibility. From now on all the reforms shall be within the four walls of this prison -- or at least that is how it seems to me for now.READ
Secularism and Fascism
Secular mind -- being a free mind -- is always happy. The clarity of perception of such a mind is always more than that of a mind clouded by religion, nationalism or such other divisive ideology. Secularism is a reality of moment to moment existence. It is not an ideal.READ
Of Mangoes, Oranges ..... and the idea of India !
What distinguishes the upcoming elections from all the prior ones India has had is the brazen contempt of the newly developed and growing Indian middle class for the traditional Indian upper class and the not so extinct Indian lower class. BJP represents the contempt of the middle class for the Indian lower class while AAP represents the contempt of the middle class for the Indian upper class. Both BJP and AAP are centered around divisive politics.READ
Glimpses of Gandhi's Ghost -- Episode 2
"When woman, whom we call abalaa becomes sabalaa, all those who are helpless will become powerful" - Mahatma Gandhi.READ
Indoctrination & Intelligent Psychopathy
Primary problem of today's India is, a large number of intelligent psychopaths have joined hands in order to usurp power in 2014. However, science of the mind says that the outcome of such well coordinated, intelligent psychopathy is Fascism. READ
Frantic "Patelling" !!
What is "Patelling"? This is a word that I have taken the liberty to coin. It signifies the misappropriation of leaders of Indian Freedom Struggle to suit the political purpose of the current RSS-VHP-Sanatan-Bajrang Dal nexus of which BJP has become only a fringe group. Sardar Patel is one example. Lokamanya Tilak is another. There are many others.READ
Congress Party founded by Nehru's daughter in 1969 dumped an forgot Panditji. The new culture of the new party with same name was not meant to carry forward Nehru's mission. Now some people who are displaced from power are crying for Nehru who never belonged to them. In Konkani we call it "Zor radta pejek".

You are right Zor radta pejek, and that's the reason all khaki chaddi hate mongers now need Nehru, Patel and other icons of Indian National Congress.
All they have are rabid and half baked intellectuals like Golwalkar, Deen Dayal Upadhay and now Deenbandhu Batra.
On one hand they justify killing of Gandhi and on the other Gandhi is venerable to them .
These are fork tongued guy who were with Congress and now with BJP to pick up the crumbs of power thrown at them,
