Karma Calling: China

During Covid, I did wait for China to apologize to the world at large for the damage the Wuhan virus did to every single nation on earth, from loss of precious human lives to the national economies coming to a complete standstill. That is what a nation with a CONSCIOUSNESS would have done. How many billion, trillion dollar worth of productivity was lost because of the virus that emanated from China. The kind of tragedy that we witnessed we cannot forget for a lifetime. I was in India with my husband caught up in middle east. We did not see each other for over one year. How many families got divided in this period. People went in clusters, in bunches like a bunch of grapes. In Chennai alone how many even medicos lost their lives. Bodies were given mass cremation. In modern world history, after the second world war, the covid must be the greatest pandemic/global event to register this kind of monumental loss in every sphere. Yet there was not one word of regret from China in the media. Theirs is an affluent economy. But how did they compensate the weaker vulnerable nations that got afflicted worse. The smaller nations were totally crushed. Their economic machinery ground to a complete halt overnight. The poorest who lost their daily bread suffered the most. No society was spared. But did the Chinese PM even once get on to the world stage to a single ‘sorry.’ I am not sure whether I am the only one to nurture such a sentiment.

Over the decades, China has completely destroyed many many economies especially the smaller, poorer, vulnerable ones, plying them with their cheap plastics. The disposable culture is now prevalent in the world thanks to mass chinese productions. Local factories and cottage industries shut shop wherever the chinese goods entered the market. Jobs were lost in millions. China even bombarded India with cheap plastic Lord Ganeshas and took over our Diwali with their fancy fireworks. Indian industry suffered all around inspite of Indian government putting in place a protection policy to safeguard the economy from the relentless Chinese invasion. One can imagine what could have happened to vulnerable small nations with fragile economy. SOLD OUT TO CHINA virtually with surrendering their natural resources such as harbours/ports, precious minerals and metals and mines, airspace, water, etc., etc. Many African and Asian countries continue to be neck deep in debt to China. Modern day Shylock. Just ask the Sri Lankans. Or even the Pakistanis who are quietly applying balm to their economic wounds from the chinese stabbings.

In the social media, the chinese fought a shadow war with us Indians everyday almost, ridiculing us for our sluggish growth. Through all these years, it looks like the chinese were focused on LIVING FOR AMERICA AND WORKING FOR AMERICA, not for themselves really. Whereas we have kind of self-sufficient economy in India. We can do without exports completely if it comes to that. Still we can survive. China had to erase Tiananmen square from the public memory. They have generations now who know nothing about the historic event. This is how China functions. India is a time tested democracy of 1.4 billion plus and counting. Just let China hold her first democratic elections and see what happens. You will have 100 pieces of China overnight. Already the joblessness must be stirring the masses into restlessness. What kind of skill is theirs? Repetitive job that can get the population nowhere if laid off.

India is the spiritual capital of the world. The kind of materialism you see in US and China, India will NOT even aspire of. Our ways and goals are different.

Although I was surprised by the chinese’ sense of humour when they flooded the social media with their MAGA memes, I must admit that what they said therein may also be ironically true. But not something that cannot be changed. Americans became fat and lazy probably because of losing their work culture to China. They can change but that can take time. Its still the best to happen to America, although they could have enforced the tariffs by phases. America is world’s No.1 economy and therefore the world expects the US to be a little more responsible. Implementation of tariffs could have been in stages and in dollops gradually increasing over years. Sudden deathly blow of very high tariffs and the ego war between world leaders seem to crush the weaker nations with even the mighty China not spared, as we can see. I still think about the chinese factory workers. What do the innocent middle class folks have to do with all this powerplay?

Then there is the question of India becoming dumping grounds for the tonnes of goods meant for export to US, piling in chinese ports. Modi governments needs to be extra vigilant and keep away the chinese manufacturers trying to gain a foothold into India through backdoor diplomacy. Next to America, only India can absorb that volume of useless cheap chinese production. Give them a toe hold – and then down the shutters on Indian industry for good.

Can status quo be restored? Precious trust has been lost between America and China. China has learnt a valuable lesson from the US. Once bitten, twice shy. They will have to reprogram their economy completely after this unforeseen disaster. The next time may they build a viable economy that is self-focused.

How the chinese mocked our PM Modi for flying to the US to meet president Trump without an invite. Even I was kind of irked when I saw my PM swallow his pride in front of the whole world. It hurt us deeply when social media made us a laughing stock. Now we get it that, its more important to take care of OURSELVES, our masses and our average factory workers and peasants and valuable exporters than boosting our national ego. Vishwaguru for a reason! As PM Modi was greeted and escorted by Saudi airforce planes as his aircraft reached their airspace this evening, and as the US VP Vance spoke in the business forum in Jaipur at the same time, after months of chaos, finally we can see some clarity emerge. Modi and Jaishankar are an awesome team. This is what we call Chanakya Tantra. Rare wisdom. Its prudent to choose our battles – what to fight and what not to fight. We can change any situation into ‘win-win.’

Chanakya in Artha Shastra said, before the birth of Christ, that we have to use the political tools of Sama, Dhana, Bedha, Dhanda when it comes to diplomacy. Same is making a treaty or friendly pact with the aggressor. Dhana is giving up something for the mutual benefit. Bedha is using a discriminatory policy to achieve a result. The last resort is to punish or wage a war. Hindus avoid the last option always.

What about China. Useless war inflicted on hapless unprepared India in 1961 with Indian territory illegally occupied by China even today. India was taken by surprise because this came just months after the Mao’s visit to India. Even my granny used to say that, when Nehru presented him with a gold finger ring with India map, he said, ‘now India is in my hands.’ Tell me now China, what is betrayal of trust? China with India in 1961 or America with China in 2025? India secured UN security council seat for China but it is China that now prevents us from getting in there. The China occupation of dharmic country Tibet is history. China joined hands with Pakistan arming their terrorists to teeth to fight a proxy war with us in our borders. Nonstop headache is China. President Trump may consider this: having China as your next door neighbour. That is what India is suffering from. Imagine having China and Pakistan for neighbour. You are lucky to have Mexico and Canada as neighbours. Please be kind to them! And now we have this same China begging India to become their ally , issuing 85,000 visas to Indian tourists to go shopping in Beijing. (Given a chance, I may hahaha. What to do, our husbands are kanjoos.)

China will have to do a lot of restructuring and reorganizing from the insides. My heart still goes out to their masses. Lives ruined. But world just has had a covid. I am sure that experience can help China overcome this crisis. Building skyscrapers and highways that are not needed is not essentially growth. Sometimes slow and steady growth can be healthy in the long run. It can make you less dependent on others. But China must have an enormous surplus. They must be able to come out of this situation. Barring exports, China is doing great in other sectors. America is only the icing on the cake. Extra something.

A nation’s wealth lies in their culture and heritage. Even if the democrats may return to power tomorrow after Trump, neither China nor America are going to like to be in this spot ever again in future. America will start becoming an industrial nation once again with local productions, and China may start slowing down and build an economy (based on local consumption and demand mostly) (they already have that and are self sustaining). America may take its own sweet time but I got the feeling there that they are serious this time. They want their jobs back. This is why India is a nation of idlis and samosas and biriyanis and Ganga aarti and temples and satsangs and gurus and ashrams first. This is enough. What we have is enough. We are happy. We don’t have to become the next China. I am a Hindu housewife who never worked in an office from my 27th year. I enjoy life and I spend 2-3 hours everyday in puja/meditation. Can you imagine a chinese woman doing that. This is how and why are different. Invite the chinese to visit the hundreds of thousands of temples throughout the length and breadth of India where masses spend hours. That shall show them how India is growing holistically than materialistically.

What is this race for? Who wants to reach the Mars first? I was reading this from someone who is a local who stated that in last 17 years, he managed a mantra japa chanting to a Hindu deity to the tune of 51 crores. Of course he is an astral traveler. India has thousands of yogis that way who casually travel out of their bodies to the multiverse. You are comparing this punya Hindu bhoomi to mechanical robotic China that has no soul? Well, quantum physics… Hindu Spirituality begins where quantum physics ENDS. Period.

Finally my concern is about the Outlet Malls in American cities that are my favourite shopping places! I don’t shop much -not easy to shop under the unwavering gaze of an Indian husband who counts every penny! Still I manage to do a little every year and I love their Outlet Malls the most for their stunning range and brands and best prices. Now I am wondering whether there will any outlet Mall left surviving at all in the US in future.

Having said that, equations can change overnight. But something invaluable between China and the US seems to have been broken. Will China trust America ever again. Can America survive without China at all?

DEAR CHINA. DEAL WITH AMERICA DIRECTLY. LEAVE US INDIANS OUT OF THIS MADNESS. PLEASE KEEP YOUR FACTORY GOODS AND WE DON’T WANT THEM IN INDIA. DO NOT DUMP CHEAP CHINESE MAKE IN INDIAN MARKETS. THANK YOU.

The DELHI DECLARATION, 2023, G20, NEW DELHI, BHARAT

updated 10th, september

Bharat is scripting history hosting and chairing the G20 summit in the capital New Delhi, attended by the top 20 powerful nations on earth: United States, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, South Korea, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Indonesia, Japan, Turkey, Germany, Australia, France, Italy, Canada, South Africa and the European Union. Notable absentees may be Russia (reason Ukraine) and China (delhi belly 😀 )that have sent their second level teams. The venue is Bharat Mandapam whose architecture, interior and decor reflect the rich ancient heritage of the oldest and only continuously surviving civilization on earth, which is also the world’s largest democracy. India is already reverted to ‘Bharat’ as one can observe from nameplates etc. Security in Delhi is beefed up. The guest countries include the UAE and Oman from Middle east and Mauritius, Bangladesh, Spain and the Netherlands among others. India seems to be breaking the ice with Turkey. For the first time in Independent India history, India-Pakistan ties couldn’t have been better. Modi-Jaishankar brand of diplomacy is phenomenal. Together with Doval, the trio are the greatest plus for India. The G20 talks focused on climate change. The Delhi Declaration is out and the joint statement is signed by the member countries who have principally and unanimously arrived at a consensus on the state of political affairs of the world (read Ukraine-Russia war). Very bold, yet mature and restrained drafting by Bharat (India) chairing the G20.

So is India, officially ‘Bharat’ already? We are only reverting to our original name after some three centuries. G20 is a good platform to make the official global announcement. Besides, Bharat is mentioned in our constitution. This is after all the land of Bharatha, ancestor of Lord Ram. Interestingly, I get to watch Pakistan tv here in Doha. Never have I heard them mention us as India. Their Urdu news bulletins and discussions always mention India as Bharat only. Tamil/Malayalam and other vernacular news channels also refer to us as Bhaaratham. Poet and freedom fighter Subrahmanya Bharathi sang thus: Paarukkulle nalla naadu, engal Bhaaratha naadu. And of course, Bharat it has been with national/desi Hindi news channels. Nothing new. So DMK hypocrites have lost deposit already in the subject. Matter closed for further discussions. Meanwhile China can keep out of Bharat’s internal matters as the communist country does not even grant the rights for debates to the Chinese citizens. I loved Modi ji’s picture with the Bangladesh PM draped in a sari. They seem to have an understanding friendship-partnership which is crucial for bilateral ties. This third world nation could have gone the Pakistan way but they chose not to repeat the historical mistake. The conscious choices individuals/nations make decide their destiny. India’s neighbourhood concerns me more over the distant west.

By the way, impressive menu for the statesmen for dinner hosted by President Smt. Droupadi Murmu as chef Sanjeev Kapoor reveals. The daawat is a spread of finest cuisine, pan India, put forth with the millet theme, millet having been the superfood of our Hindu ancestors. Millets are making back their way into our homes now like never before and are here to stay.

The journalists got a share in the pie as well.

Here is the pretty picture! Sari goes well with the wife of the Japanese PM. She is comfortable draping the Benarasi which is commendable.

Before the closing note and wrap-up was the visit to the Raj Ghat by dignitaries led by PM Shri Narendra Modi where the leaders of G20 paid tributes to father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi. Good job India!

Is it time to shut down JNU.

 

Up above: One reason why JNU /useless universities spawning venom in the national capital must be shut down. This anti-national was research student of ‘African studies’ or some such (of what relevance to India God knows) for over 5 years at the expense of tax paying citizens.

You check the roster. Invariably the striking students will be majoring in useless worthless art subjects with no science or math quotient. Easy papers.  No sweat job. Irrelevant specializations that will not benefit the nation or community in any manner. Branches that can land you only in marketing or paid media invariably. If at all they are even that good.

Now tell me, who majors in history, civics, languages, african studies (!), arabic studies (!) in India these days. Universities are shutting down departments for want of students and even teaching staff. Only those who cannot fit in the science world, who cannot think productively, who are intellectually lazy opt for art subjects. Who are not competent enough to study for a degree in science/math/tech/medicine. These guys have lots of time and pent-up energy in store in art schools that they can expend on any number of slogan raising and other anti-national activities. Easiest for them to turn to activism. In fact its their hobby. Mostly spoilt kids from rich families with big fat pocket money or the reserved category guys with a hurt ego and a suppressed anger towards the progressive class. We have all crossed this phase of life. We have seen the difference between serious academics and trouble makers with too much time in their hands.

There is a saying, ‘if you do not heal from what hurt you, you will bleed on who didn’t cut you.’ This is sadly true of the dalit students in India. Their condition is not like it was centuries before. Neither did they suffer as the blacks did at the hands of whites. Indian class and caste system and prevalent discrimination of those ages was never as brutal or senseless as it was in the islamic/western world. Which society is one hundred percent perfect. While the government is trying its best to make amends, the scheduled castes and tribes do not appreciate what is coming their way. This community suffers from a collective ‘sense of entitlement’ in the present for what was lost for centuries to them. Understandable. But should that mean you have to take out your wrath over every trivial issue to the extent of crippling India. In the last 70 plus years, this community is more than compensated at the expense of India’s development and future. We in India give up our growth because our wronged brothers and sisters have to rise along with us. But what are you rising for? To cut us down to pieces? To tear up this nation? India stalls and lingers backward because we are waiting for our beleaguered scheduled castes/tribes to catch up with us. If not for you guys, we would be far ahead in every sphere, do you ever get it. You are pulling down every single arena of growth potential with you, do you ever get it. You are not rising with rest of India, in your fit of rage you want to bring down entire India to knees with you.

What kind of intelligentsia will admit to this truth. Will rub this truth in these thoughtless people. Who is selling farm lands today to get their kids flashy motor bikes. You cannot change your lot overnight. Growth lies in phases. Like from the pupa stage to caterpillar and then finally to the beautiful free butterfly. What reserved categories instead want to do today is, to kill the golden goose in one stroke. Finished.

Indian muslims are another headache. More than headache. A malaise. Born with a complex. For them arab nations that suppress human rights are holy. They are all arabs mentally. Human rights are issues only with secular democratic nations like the USA and India and UK and Europe and Australia. Arab countries are fixed deposits for them, never to be touched. India is the current deposit that they can withdraw from at their whim and fancy even if we are going to go bankrupt. Breed, breed, breed. Don’t stand up for national anthem. Don’t salute Bharat Matha. What an ungrateful and vengeful people we are having amid us. Trust factor with this community: zero. Loyalty to mother country: zero.

The same Ayeshas should be raising their voices in Saudi first. Wearing the burqa mind you. Take care ladies, tomorrow no man can talaq you over phone or post card because our Modi ji saw to that. You were as fragile, remember.

Frequently you hear media screaming of IITians joining (various) protest movements. Never. Never do the undergrad and post grad IITians go anti-national. The undergrads have just spent some 4 to 6 or even 8 years from high school, trying to get into the nation’s most esteemed tech schools. The post grads don’t have it easy either. They have to sit for GATE  which is one of toughest exams to clear in the world. You think after all this hardwork, the IITians can stoop to shitty JNU level. The IITians quoted in media are really the reserved category research candidates like our useless Kanhaiya Kumar, studying for over a decade withdrawing handsome stipends and producing zilch. All paid by you and me. There is even a rumour going on that the church has entered into IIT Madras campus and are feeding on vulnerable young IITians. Conversions taking place right in the campus as some students undergo severe academic stress.

All the government has to do is conduct this survey: how many of the protesting students study useless arts courses. How many are enrolled for STEM courses. This will give one a good profile of the protester mentality.

Paid media and a desperate Congress party are fueling these protest marches. I am not ruling out the hand of ISI and its journalist spies who have made it their top agenda to publicize the campus strikes in India. The D gang funding is making the Bollywood stars sing their tune like parrot. Why not. We all know who is behind Sri Devi’s unnatural death. Who could have masterminded it and who could have executed it offshore. Why Deepika Padukone has no guts to speak about it. Or even voice her doubt about Sri Devi. Is the mass public conscience flawed. We know what goes unsaid. I am not a politically connected person. I am a housewife. When you keep your bloody mouth shut for the death of a fellow star in unnatural circumstances, you have compromised Deepika. Shame on you. Bollywood has no locus standi to speak up on anything- because those who have no basic morality and ethics and principles in life have no right to talk of national things. If you have not taken up a role by ‘casting couch’ /financed by India’s dreaded terrorists operating via gulf, you have every reason to speak up. How much of your earned money is really clean. How many bollywood actors can answer this question to their heart honestly.

Jayalalitha Jayaram, our ex CM was a leading heroine of her times as well. But never did she preach or stand by anything anti-national.

Sometimes, a wrong has to be corrected by another wrong. If you cannot get it in you, be a silent observer. After all, for every injustice are you reacting and voicing your opinion. If you speak up, speak up for everything. Clean up your profession. Cleanse your earnings. Let there be no blood smear of our soldiers in your rupiah.

Shame on our tv channels for propping us these characterless women in their news casts. Are these our role models. Is being a movie star your only credential to force your opinion on the masses. Who is not aware how Khushboo painted the whole town red in her heydays. Today she is an icon for useless NDTV and some such sick channels. Have India’s standards dipped to this low.

Every single protesting body/student has an agenda against the government fueled by the Congress. That is the best the congress party can do. Whatever the congies could not achieve in 65 years, in four to eight years Modi ji is achieving. Revoking of article 370 for one. OROP for another. Ayodhya. Triple Talaq. Even illegal conversion by the christian church mafia in India given a free rein by the italian catholic Sonia Gandhi. Pushing out the illegal Bangladeshis.

What is CAA. What is NRC. Why should you bother if you have your papers correct. Even if you may not have papers, if you are son of this soil, you have nothing to fear and you know that. Why should India give asylum to muslim refugees. How many of these Ayeshas will ask the gulf nations to take in Palestenians and Syrians. Or even the Pakistanis. Or how much funding these Ayeshas are ready to pledge for personally to rehabilitate Bangladeshis in India. How many muslim families are you willing to adopt, after all being muslims yourselves.

India, as the world’s only and first and foremost dharmic nation, also has this dharmic responsibility of taking care of every global Hindu/Buddhist/Jain/Sikh. If our secularism prevents that, then it is time to redraft our constitution. Let us become a Hindu Rashtra constitutionally.

Never mind, CAA has no soft corner for Sri Lankan or Nepali Hindus. It is specific about Pakistan/Afghan/Bangla Hindus because these nations systematically decimate the Hindu community. Hindus here are the most persecuted historically and have nowhere to turn to.

Where in media have you seen coverage on conversion of Hindus with bribes and by brainwashing by the church. Such an intellectually dishonest life is theirs.

Where have you come across media questioning even the burqa – as basic as that. If they do, their heads will roll on ground in no time. But these guys have the audacity to talk about Sabarimala (even if I do not have to share popular opinion). India’s mosques do not allow entry to muslim women. Have you seen the debates on this on NDTV or write-ups in the Scroll or the Hindu.

Have you come across any media report prefixing nations like in – islamic Pakistan, islamic Malaysia, islamic Saudi? But India is Hindu nationalist to these bastards and scoundrels. If so, I am proud really! Muslims and Christians have to cover up their shame of conversion having lost their pedigree media guys – a Hindu’s conscience is clear. We don’t have to pretend to be who we are not by gene or culture or even geography. We don’t have to try to live the arab life. We are what we are. The proud follower of Sanathana Dharma. If this is nationalism to you, so be it. This is healthy unlike your sick pretense as if you belong in middle-east (where you can be sure of getting kicked in your belly by that desert camel, you fools).

Legal profession and media profession are the worst in the world. In both you have to defend murderers, most corrupt and liars and manipulators selling your soul. This is your survival mantra. A lawyer knows a murderer yet defends him in the court of law, his sacrosanct institution where he swears under oath. A journalists knows the truth yet sticks to his/her gun because he/she wants to shape up the public mind- manipulate and influence public opinion. A journalist’s view is never neutral.

This is what is happening in India today. The media wants you to think anti-India like them. Hell, no way will they succeed.

Modi will return for a third term so what can you do.

Is n’t it a wonder that you never blamed the EVMs when congress party won in two successive central elections but you are to quick to blame when BJP is elected. Did Rahul Gandhi win by manipulating the EVM in Wayanad?

Prime Minster Shri Narendra Modi ji. A one man army. An entire battalion is against him, but he pushes on relentless. For a man who wants nothing for himself this comes on effortlessly. The more venom you guys feed the public, the more will the Indian masses love him and respect him.

Indian economy is not suffering. It is restructuring. India is phasing out fossil fuel by 2030. People in mechanical spare parts industries tell us how in the place of 200 parts, the number you need for production is going down and down. By 2030, it may not even be 20 parts as production designs get simpler. As India goes gearless belatedly and switches over to electric vehicles, the line of production will get altered. Employment scene will fare worse and more and more jobs will be rendered irrelevant. Alternate employment generation is possible but manual labour volume will reduce globally. Didn’t we grow out of VCR and CDs.

And this is happening all at a time, all across the board: MECHANIZATION. COMPUTERIZATION. As simple as that. Many hundreds of thousands of jobs will go irrelevant but new positions created though in meagre numbers. Employment is an issue because one particular community in the world is over-breeding. Can you guys stop or control that.

Is it India alone that is seeing economic blues. Whole world economy is on downswing. India fares a lot better.

In India specifically, the restructuring that was pending and postponed for decades by the congress govt.,  is happening simultaneously at multiple levels right now. In economy (demonetization and GST), in revenues (PAN Aadhar linking to bank accounts), in production line, in farming, in real estate sector, in IT sector, even in our civil society (CAA/NRC) and political sphere (article 370). This is not a slow down at all. We have actuals. We have reality. Indian nation has to keep up pace.

Indians black money racket bombed with the demonetization move of Modiji. India had a parallel economy running. That financed the sports cars, foreign holidays, jewelry, imported limos and motor bikes, wedding extravaganzas, shows etc. Now when you have to link your PAN and Aadhar with your bank account and insurance and IT filing. how much of black money do you think one can hoard. May be you can still, but not to the extent it was possible in last couple of decades. You cannot have that dream villa any more by the sea side because you have to account every single paisa. Naturally those who have had a lucky streak so far have a lot to complaint. Have you ever heard of the Indian middle class complaining? Middle class is happy because real estate is finally at rock bottom realistic prices. Affordable.

Who says anyone suffered demonetization. The poorest I saw were happiest that the rich got punished. I could see their sense of satisfaction. This is what won Modi his elections.

Those of us middle class families who have nothing to hide have nothing to fear about. When you have to stash anything illegally, then it has to have you concerned.

Modi is doing the right things for India. I am happy and feel blessed, my nation is in right hands. You have to be bold and brave to be doing what he is doing. Balakot for instance. That guts. That steely nerve.

I have the honesty to see how good he is for this nation.

To hell with secularism. I will not allow islamization or christianization of my dear Bharat. I will do whatever in my capacity to stop that. Because democracy in India truly banks on demography in India. We have to remain a Hindu nation for our own sake. Only then does even our paid media stand a chance!

I am wishing my prime minister dheerg aayush – i pray for his health and long life every single day. I recite the Mrithyun jaya mantra for him. It’s not just me. Many are doing it across the country – including my friends. In every temple archana, we include his name. Modiji’s sincerity touches our heart. He is like family member to most of us.

Because you come across a gem like Modi ji once in a lifetime or centuries.

We don’t know when India will ever produce such a selfless man again. This man stays awake for 20 hours a day so rest of us can sleep peacefully. It is my duty to show him my gratitude. I am not a Sanghi . Neither am i attached to anything political. This is why I can openly state my frank opinion.

No muslim protested for Ayodhya verdict or for revoking of article 370 in India. No reason for them to protest for CAA either. Unless it is financed/ sponsored by vested interests.

Come to Tiruppur, Coimbatore, Kochi – see how many illegal muslim Bangladeshis are here. Crores of them in India. Why should we harbour them.

Modi ji. You are on right track. We the public are with you. Please do not go by the media.Or celebrity endorsements. If what they assessed was right, you would not be in Delhi today. We the public never trusted the social media or mainstream media or movie actors or celebrities. We put our trust in you. Don’t fold back. Don’t roll back.

I am from Tamil Nadu, one of the supposed anti-states. Believe me, vote share in Tamil Nadu and Kerala for BJP is forever increasing and for communists and Dravidian parties forever decreasing. You may have lost elections, but you are scoring better and better. Do not go by popular opinion. Every temple going Hindu loves you and adores you and sees what you are doing for Bharat Matha.

I have friends and relatives in every field – from medical to engineering to business and production line and IT field. Even in real estate and construction industry. Every single business person/ industrialist/ professional/ homemaker i have come across thinks you have put the nation on right tracks. In fact many of them are not doing good precisely at the moment. But like me, they have the honesty to admit openly, if they do not do it now, their children will have to do it at very high price tomorrow.

Modi ji you can postpone crisis to later generations like the congress did. But you have not done that. You are bravely taking on the challenges and resolving issues. Now that is an issue by itself to your critics and paid media and opposition.

Collateral damage is sometimes unpreventable. We the Indian public take cognizance of that. We factor that in your actions and results. We are ready to offer our share of sacrifice for the sake of the nation.

Go on, godspeed Prime Minister. Let not the anti-nationals deter you or bother you. I am sure they won’t.

Let the barking dogs bark at the mountain. The mountain can remain stubborn and rooted and calm and unwavering.

Meanwhile, India cannot afford politics in campuses. Only those who have been parents/are parents will know why. Amputate the political arms and wings of our universities. You will be doing the nation one more great favour, thank you!

It’s Okay ISRO, You Are Still The Best And We Are Proud Of You!

Last night was Shiv Rathri for us Indians across the globe. Not only did the resident Indians stay awake, but also NRIs and PIOs spread across continents. The entire Indian diaspora if I may say so. Chandrayaan 2 launched July 22nd from Sriharikota, almost created history. The Lander Vikram separated from Rover Pragyan from the Chandrayaan 2 (the mother satellite in good shape orbiting the Moon) stage by stage in text book precision absolutely following the trajectory of projection. The Rough Break phase was torturous wait for even those of us with not much of astrophysics knowledge. Stage 1 of clearance success, stage 2, success, stage 3, overwhelming success… only stage 4 remained of the tension filled 15 seconds that was more like one hour when we waited with our bated breath for a signal from Vikram … but then followed a lengthy silence from the ISRO Control Room at Bangalore as the radio communication from Vikram snapped… (the landing time was calculated at 1.53 am September 7th)… a billion hearts broke as the nation plunged into despair. The grief was writ large in the faces of ISRO scientists and engineers. Chairman Dr. K Sivan who was in tears was embraced by an emotional Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji. What a moment to live for.  The final crowing glory that was denied, no more mattered.

So is Chandrayaan 2 a failure? No way! Only 5% of the Mission was lost with losing contact with the Lander Vikram. Chandrayaan 2 will be orbiting the Moon for the next one year, its estimated life. The orbiter has already beamed pictures of space, Earth and Moon back to ISRO center. India was attempting in this second Moon Mission of ours to soft land on the polar end of the Moon where so far no other nation (of the four to five countries that have their flags on the moon already) had dared to venture. It was risky and the probability of failure was very high. It is almost the dark side of the moon. India’s first Moon mission Chandrayaan 1 landed its probe near the equator of the moon, favourite landing spot for astronauts and other landers.

Chandrayaan 2’s lander Vikram was as close as 2.1 km from the surface of the moon where it should have landed. Whether it crashed or what happened to it will be revealed only through the scientific data. It is impressive that our scientists, technicians and engineers have given us such a precision in landing. Down there lies mystery that so far mankind has not known of. Unexplored space. Simply anything is possible.

 

Anyway, all is not lost yet guys!
