Can the world correct where Gandhi failed us?




Some days back, a UN report claimed that Iran had the expertise to make nuclear bombs. That made me thinking. It reminded me of Pakistan's greatest (or world’s worst) scientist - AQ Khan. Some time back he had accused the Pakistani Govt of 'using' him for its own political purpose. He said that the nuclear technology which he had sold to other nations including Iran had full consent of the Pakistani government. He had sold nuclear technology which was to be used for producing nuclear weapons to many nations including Iran, North Korea, Libya and China - all of these are violent establishments marred by human rights violations. Now the future of this whole earth is at the mercy of those whom Pakistan helped, as the greatest threat is that Afghanistani Taliban can get access to Pakistani nuclear technology! And just imagine what could happen if Taliban or other Islamic terrorists get access to these nuclear weapons and technology. From India to the US, or the UK, they can be brought to their feet. We should never underestimate terrorist organisations - they had shown what they can do by bringing WTC down. It brings me to one conclusion - if there is one nucleon threatening the whole world's peace, it is Pakistan.

We humans are prone to err, but only if we have heart to accept our mistakes, prudence to learn from the mistakes, and the wisdom to do something to turn the situation around; we can be called wise. Let us accept that creation of Pakistan was the worst thing that happened in modern India’s history. Let us accept that all Indian leaders with hallows around their heads, including Gandhi and Nehru were proven wrong by the fanatic Pakistani leadership – and many would have guessed their failure even in 1947. Let us accept that the biggest threat to this world, Pakistan, needs to be tackled. That brings me to a conclusion: Enemy has never looked so particular.

Yajurveda 13.42

Image
Someone asked me to refer to Yajurveda 13.42. It meant 42nd Mantra in 13th Adhyay / chapter. I tried searching for the same. I found the verse as this: Vatasya jutim varunasya nabhimashwam jagyanam sarirasya madhye. shishum nadinaam harim-adribudhnam agne ma hinsih parame vyoman. (Sorry if some spelling is wrong; I copied this from Sanskrit) While searching on the net, I found one site where someone had written that Yajurveda 13.42 says this: "Do not kill the horse." And hence the person claimed that this verse proves that Hindus used to kill horses in the Yajurveda period! But the actual meaning of this verse is this: He (Agne) Tejaswin vidwan! Aap (parme vyomen) sarva vyapt uttam akash me (vatasya) vayu ke (madhye) madhya me (jutim) veg roop (ashwam) ashwa ko (Sarirasya) jalmay (varunasya) uttam samudra ke (nabhim) bandhan ko aur (nadinam) nadiyon ke prabhav se (jagyanam) prakat hue (shishum) balak ke tulya vartmaan (rahim) neel varn yukt (adribuddhnam) sukshm megh ko (ma) ...

Touching Paras

He knew something was wrong. Or at least something had changed. It showed in the way Paras behaved. But he was not sure what could be done to correct the way things were going on For some months now, whenever he returned to home, Paras ran towards him. Not that he never ran to him before, but now he felt Paras was doing so because he felt lonely. And he feared it would be terribly tough for a kid of four to feel lonely Seema was always a bit more mod and advanced than him. Was it that had attracted him towards her? Anyways, this was not relevant now. What mattered now was the wellbeing of their 'family'. And he would do anything for his. Even now, it was time to act. But most difficult was to decide: where and how On Sunday, they had gone to the waterfall after about two months. While they enjoyed every moment in and out of water, something happened on the returned journey. The engine of their car started getting overheated. At one point, he had to stop the car and they just wa...

God’s Own Terror?

A disturbing trend has developed in Kerala. Taliban-style courts in God's Own Country 'Hotbed of terrorism' is not the usual label for Kerala. But intelligence gathered by disparate agencies over the last few years suggests the description may not be far off the mark. Confirmation of this came with the horrifying incident of July 4, when a college lecturer's right hand was chopped off in Moovattupuzha, a town in Eranakulam district. The attack on T J Joseph was apparently in retaliation for setting a question paper that allegedly hurt Muslim sentiments. Police raids on offices of the Popular Front of India (PFI), whose activists are believed to be behind the attack, have exposed a well-oiled, pan-Islamist network fed by a heady mix of Wahhabism and hawala. Kerala's deep-rooted Gulf links also come in handy for the PFI. The revelations of the last two weeks are startling. It includes al-Qaida training tapes, Taliban-style courts that dispense justice according to Sha...
