Who got us independence?

From @theskindoctor13

“Bapu ne hame azadi dilayi. Unke hathiyar the satya aur ahinsa.”

Gandhi had been leading Satya Ahimsa movements in India since 1915. If the British had valued his methods, they would’ve left India much earlier. Oppressors fear armed rebellion. To them, a person who discourages his people from engaging in armed rebellion is a welcome presence, not a threat. Real reasons for freedom were these :

1. British economy damage due to world war.
2. Post-war global decolonization sentiments.
3. Post war mutiny within the Armed forces. Eg. Naval mutiny, 1946.
4. Focal armed uprisings like Bose.
5. Anti colonial movements in Europe.
6. UN charter 1945 emphasizing self governance.
7. Most importantly, endless sacrifices of lakhs of freedom fighters.

Happy #IndependenceDay2023 #जय_हिंद

On the Ukraine war

This seems to be a war being fought by the US ’till the last Ukrainian standing’. What are Ukrainians fighting for? For freedom? Like Tibetans? No. They are not fighting for freedom. They are fighting a war at their President’s bidding for his right to go back on his promise. The promise that Ukraine will stay neutral, will stay out of NATO, and will not be a parking garage for US missiles pointed towards Russia.
If US wishes peace, why doesn’t it reciprocate? Ask Russia to allow US missiles to be stationed in Ukraine and in return, invite Russia to place its pointy toys in Cuba.

Travel, like your life depends on it

Travel.

I have seen this in numerous examples. Keep your shoes on. And you are sure to leave outsized imprints on the sands of time.

As you travel, new experiences unfold. New vistas beckon. New opportunities are unveiled.

I went to the Sisi Museum in Vienna. Queen Sisi was an ordinary lady. But she travelled incessantly as she crisscrossed Europe in her private train carriage while her workaholic husband managed the affairs of the state. Today she is amongst the most iconic figures in the history of the royal family.

Saints and sages who travelled have left behind a strong legacy. Foremost is Bhagwan Adi Shakaracharya. He covered all corners of the country and setup pilgrimage centres at Char Dham. Swami Prabhupada set up the Hare Rama Hare Krishna movement. I saw a movie on Shri Yogananda. He too had his feet on fire as he traversed the globe, elevating all he met.

So travel, like your life depends on it.

For, your contribution during your lifetime depends a lot on how much you have travelled.

Leveraging Competence

UntitledImage

Once a person or company builds up a competence, it must leverage that competence to milk the most out of it. It is not easy to develop multiple competencies. Any competence developed, must be used to the maximum extent possible.

Adani Group has managed to build up impressive competence in multiple areas. Managing ports is one such area with a high entry barrier. It is building on its competence by acquiring ports separated by vast geographical distances.

It has charted a similar course regarding managing airports.

On New Year by Shri Dinkar ji

राष्ट्रकवि रामधारी सिंह ” दिनकर ” जी की कविता

ये नव वर्ष हमे स्वीकार नहीं
है अपना ये त्यौहार नहीं
है अपनी ये तो रीत नहीं
है अपना ये व्यवहार नहीं
धरा ठिठुरती है सर्दी से
आकाश में कोहरा गहरा है
बाग़ बाज़ारों की सरहद पर
सर्द हवा का पहरा है
सूना है प्रकृति का आँगन
कुछ रंग नहीं , उमंग नहीं
हर कोई है घर में दुबका हुआ
नव वर्ष का ये कोई ढंग नहीं
चंद मास अभी इंतज़ार करो
निज मन में तनिक विचार करो
नये साल नया कुछ हो तो सही
क्यों नक़ल में सारी अक्ल बही
उल्लास मंद है जन -मन का
आयी है अभी बहार नहीं
ये नव वर्ष हमे स्वीकार नहीं
है अपना ये त्यौहार नहीं
ये धुंध कुहासा छंटने दो
रातों का राज्य सिमटने दो
प्रकृति का रूप निखरने दो
फागुन का रंग बिखरने दो
प्रकृति दुल्हन का रूप धार
जब स्नेह – सुधा बरसायेगी
शस्य – श्यामला धरती माता
घर -घर खुशहाली लायेगी
तब चैत्र शुक्ल की प्रथम तिथि
नव वर्ष मनाया जायेगा
आर्यावर्त की पुण्य भूमि पर
जय गान सुनाया जायेगा
युक्ति – प्रमाण से स्वयंसिद्ध
नव वर्ष हमारा हो प्रसिद्ध
आर्यों की कीर्ति सदा -सदा
नव वर्ष चैत्र शुक्ल प्रतिपदा
अनमोल विरासत के धनिकों को
चाहिये कोई उधार नहीं
ये नव वर्ष हमे स्वीकार नहीं
है अपना ये त्यौहार नहीं
है अपनी ये तो रीत नहीं
है अपना ये त्यौहार नहीं

On Indian Judiciary – a Twitter thread by @MumbaichaDon

“Kangaroo Courts by Media Affecting Health of Democracy & Judiciary, Taking it Backwards” Says CJI Ramana.

Really MiLords? Media taking Judiciary Backwards?
Pls don’t make me laugh.

YOUR JUDICIARY IS COMPROMISED BY YOUR OWN JUDGES. No-one Else took it backwards.

Glory of Judiciary was lost when SC Judge who ruled against Indira Gandhi was DENIED to become CJI & was Superceded by a Puppet who ruled in HER favour. What did other judges do? Protest? No. They turned blind eye to this Violation of Justice to keep enjoying their Perks.

Glory of Bharat’s Judiciary was lost when SC opened gates at Midnight to hear pleas to Stop Capital Punishment to a Terrorist Yakub Memon.

It was lost on numerous occasions when Corrupt Politicians were granted More Bails than Number of Days in Jails.

It was lost when SC didn’t allow Banks’ request to Confiscate Passport of Vijay Mallya and later questioned CBI “How did they Flee Country”.

It was lost when SC Cancelled MANDATORY Declaration of Assets by SC & HC Judges to make it VOLUNTARY in 2009.

Glory was lost when SC Collegium DECLINED Judicial Reforms suggested by Modi Govt to bring Transparency in SC & HC Judges Appointments. It would have ENDED SC Collegium’s Hegemony.

Why Opposition? Fear of losing chance to FIX OWN People in ECOSYSTEM?Or Financial?Or Both?

Glory lost numerous times when Bigwigs were given Urgent Hearings & Ordinary people तारीख पे तारीख!

It was lost when Urban Naxals with GRAVE CHARGES like “Waging War against Country”,were given Anticipatory Bails for Yrs on Humanitarian Grounds.Any SUCH Reprieve to Others?

Glory was lost when Politicians & BLOODYwood Stars like Sanjay Dutt were given Parole & Furlough to attend Family Weddings or Medical Treatment of Spouse(when spouse was PARTYING Previous Night)..but Ordinary Convicts Not Allowed to attend Funerals/last rites of parents .

Glory was lost when 4 Senior Most SC MiLords staged an OPEN REVOLT against CJI Deepak Misra to get High Profile + Lucrative & Politically Sensitive cases where THEY could set Political Narratives to suit their Leftist BOSSES.
Ref: Chelameswar + D Raja.

MiLords…Disgrace is brought to Judiciary by your Own Corrupt & Conveniently Suitable Deeds. No? Then Justify NOT Giving bail to 21 yr old Student Nikhil Bhamre BEFORE EXAM, but Justice Chandrachud going out of way to send Hate Monger Zubair home SAME DAY of granting bail.

How can Media take Democracy & Judiciary Backwards when Judiciary has big weapon in it’s hand..A JOKE called “Contempt of Court”!!
What is Contempt?
I’m insulted by you cause it’s decided by me. You can’t question me because I have decided that you can’t question me. Wah!!

No MiLords…. No-one brought Disgrace to Judiciary EXCEPT by You. No-one took Judiciary Backwards EXCEPT by You.

It’s just that People have started Asking Questions & Social Media has Empowered them.

And THIS is what You can’t digest, MiLords.

Respected CJI Ramana, you gave too much Gyan yesterday.
But Pls Know…
When you point 1 Finger at someone…3 Fingers are pointed AT You BY You only.

Judiciary is LUCKY that Modi Ji as believes Firmly in Democracy.
I wish he shows MiLords Some Day “WHAT’S STATE POWER”.

Also, please note :

Declaration of Assets by SC & HC Judges is MANDATORY in 60% of Major 161 Countries in World.

Bharat’s Judiciary is among REMAINING 40% who CHANGED it to VOLUNTARY from Compulsory in 2009.

And…”MiLords” FORCE us to listen to Their “MORAL GYAN” everyday in & off Court.

IRONY!!

State of the World and US’s Culpability

Biden’s single biggest sin has been to bless the Ukraine war. He could have simply told Ukraine to abide by its promise of remaining neutral and forget about having US missiles stationed there, pointing at Moscow.

The whole world is in a state of turmoil and countless billions have been pushed into hardship due to inflation, due to this one issue.

Alternatively, he could have offered the Russians that he would station US missiles in Ukraine, and in return, welcomes Russian missiles to station in Cuba.

Tragically laughable proposition.
