Redefining Politics...

Friday, January 8, 2010
India is in need of a revolution. There were situations where Politics were in the hands of eminent persons but today the scenario turns out to be exactly the opposite.The recent happenings in the politics have forced me to write a post on this. I certainly have some questions, which has been pricking my mind for a long time.

Why, no politician in the ruling party has been convicted of any criminal/civil proceeding till date?

We know that politicians commit most of the unlawful acts but why aren’t we not able to stop them?

If the Govt is trying to bring a casteless community why is that every application for Govt jobs carries a column to specify our caste?

Why aren’t we able to change the face politics? Is it because of our attitude that Indians generally have?

If it possible for the Tamilnadu politicians to provide rice at a price of Rs.2/- then does it mean the Govt was making profits by selling price at higher prices?

Lawmakers are the lawbreakers in our country. The very definition of Democracy roots to “of the people, by the people and for the people”. But in today’s context it is “of the politicians, by the politicians and for the politicians”.

It is a shame for Indian Democracy that even after more than 50 years of its existence we neither have matured politicians who talk about guiding the country to a bright future during their election campaign nor have matured voters who vote for free colour tv’s instead look forward to elect a leader who can create avenues for the voters to participate in the development of the country and proudly EARN their decent living.

Coming to Resevations, admitting students of backward community through reservations in prestigious and premier institutions like IIT and IIM is not a welcoming trend, who don’t even manage to pass their entrance exams.This would have two major implications.They would stick to the BC community tag for generations and would enjoy the perquisites given to them Secondly,only few from the BC community would be able to do well and the rest would lag behind. This is does not imply that Backward Community people are less equipped, only that people coming with the comfort of Reservation at various stages are definitely less equipped. This would force the govt to carry out the reservations in the field of employment helping them to land up in pivotal posts in both the public and as well as private sector.If the Govt stops talking about the caste, there would be no such thing called Backward Community in another decade.

The historical parliamentary session which happened in the parliament few days back showed how money determines the leader of a country.How the politicians managed to bring such rupee bundles into the parliament?.It was clearly evident as how the public money is being EFFECTIVELY utilized.Shame on the part of the politicians.

Coming to the politics of Tamilnadu,the recent trend over here is the actors turning into politicians.The actors who portray themselves as a socialistic person,a man with high decorum on the silver screen, is not their image that they hold in their real life.They just choose politics as an avenue for their investment.Many of the poor and uneducated believe them to revolutionize the politics turn out to be scapegoat at the end.

We, the educated should indulge in politics replacing the existing ones who know nothing, but Politics.The very face of politics cant be changed unless the attitude of the people changes.

Aghoris!!!

Tuesday, March 17, 2009
The film 'Nan Kadavul' insitgated me to write this topic on Aghoris.
One side of India is showing a massive development in the field of Science&Technology.But the other side which i am gonna write about is really shocking and bit disturbing.What is Cannabalism?Eating of human flesh by another human being.Do these kind of practices exist?Yes,not in Africa or some other part of world but for India.Who are Aghoris?This is a small sect of people calling themselves as the incarnations of Lord Shiva.


The Aghoris distinguish themselves from other Hindu sects and priests by their alcoholic and cannibalistic rituals. The corpses, which may be either pulled from a river [including Ganges] or obtained from cremation grounds, are consumed raw as the Aghoris believe that what others consider as a "dead man" is, in fact, nothing but a natural matter devoid of the life force it once contained. Therefore, while for ordinary folks it may be called cannibalism, for them it's using what is useless for the rest of the world. In fact, they claim to be scientists trying to discover how matter converts from one form to another.

The white powders over their body are believed to be ashes of the burnt dead bodies.

It is believed that they consume alcohols and drugs in their practise of meditation.Lot of saints used to live in remote places of Himalayas and Forests. Over a period of time meditating they found out certain chemical changes transport you to different world. Before coming to real world they wanted to experience the feelings of drugs which made absolute surrender, where they found the beauty of nature and God. Unfortunately they could not sustain the beauty of the vision for a long time,the moment drug effect came down they come back to the real world.

Aghoris eating dead bodies after performing their rituals.I would weak hearted persons not to watch this video




Likewise you can witness the same in the religion of Christianity where it is believed that God is seen while you make love.

The powers of the Aghoris are that the dead bodies being blessed by them do not have rebirths.
This invokes me to witness the same in person.Hope i soon go to Kasi(North India)!!!!

Ela Pugazhum Rahman nu ke!!

"Ela Pugazhum Iraivunuke" the words uttered by our Maestro A.R.Rahman made every Indian,in particular every Tamilian proud.This has bought the Indian Music Fraternity under the spot light.I would say that Rahman does not deserve the Oscars for this movie alone,those were his usual numbers,there are certain exceptional compositions from him like Bombay Theme,Vidai Kudu Engal Nade(Kannathil Muthamittal),Jaage Hain(Guru) .....whic are considered to be the evergreen hits from him.Anyways thanks to his meticulous efforts for taking the Indian music worldwide.In the near future, it would be our turn to dominate the Oscars if our directors come out with some exceptional films.
