BOOKS BASED NOTES

Hindus were never in danger and even today they are not in danger. As a religious stream Hinduism has been serviving for thousands of years not because of her bigotry but because of her tolerance and inclusiveness. The most striking challange which Hinduism has  faced till today was from Buddhism which radically altered Hinduism to  such an extent that when u read original teachings of Lord Budha and Shrimadbhagavat Geeta u find a lot of similarities. Buddhism had also strong royal patronage. But Hinduism due to her tolerance just adjusted and servived . If someone has even  a small understanding of History he may notice when Chanakya formulated his law for rule for Empires and when Maurya Empire was established with his philosophical patronage he never adopted coercive attitude towards Buddhism which had support of earlier rulers of Patliputra . Magadh was largely under the influence of Buddhism and Jainism from the days of Ajatashatru but advent of Mauryans  under ...

India is in a mess. Yes. No amount of rhetoric can alter the reality. Education, health, economy all are in the bad shape and most disappointing reality is that neither the rulers nor the people are in mood of accepting the reality. And all political parties are devoid of ideas. India is in the age of "mental bankruptcy" .  And culture of the present day which emphasises the glory of the past has prevented Indians from moving forward. Religions have one serious  fault. All religions claim to be repositories of all knowledge.  Accepting  more and more religiosity means negation of potential of efforts and future. Religion emphasises all knowledge is in past and future has no knowledge. All religions make the people believe their efforts have no value as their destiny is predetermined. This is the state of affairs in today's India. India has refused to be modern-modern in economic, educational, political senses.

It's a hard fact that more than common masses it's the elite, which ditches idea of India as enshrined in the Indian National Movement and in  the  Indian  Constitution. Role of the judiciaal elite in this context has been more objectionable considering the weight of onus she has to carry to carry on the democracy.     It's the elite which sets the course of actions in most of the cases. And among all elites judicial elites are of paramount importance. In india it's judicial elite which has been responsible for killing of democratic credentials.     And when elite fails masses step in and then elite becomes useless. Farmers movement is it's example. Success of farmers mov is not less than a revolution.

Fixing of minimum marriage age is welcome move if it's based on considered deliberations  regarding  health issues, social norms and problems, property rules and other gender issues. If a law is to be made about girls marriage age is it not proper to engage women politicians of all parties and NGOs working in the field of gender issues? All male dominated bodies may prevail and people may accept their decision but exclusion of stake holders is nothing but a hubristic decision driven by patriarchal attitude. There are apt questions like is increasing female marriage age going to solve problems of malnutrition, iron deficiency, menestrual health issues, pregnancy and delivery related health issues?  Is the proposed legislation going to tackle gender disparity and indignity which are being inflicted upon females in genral? Is the proposed legislation going to solve social menace of dowry, female security, status of women in society, gender parity etc? Such are the questions ...

  INEQUALITY TECHNOLOGY AND DEMOCRACY   A lot of talks are going on about the World Inequality Report 2022. In the mean time the US has organized   and hosted @first Summit for Democracy . Interestingly although the said report has no connection with the summit and when we go for doing some analysis of inequality on one hand and of democracy on the other hand we find that at the end we arrive at the point where we find   inequality in terms of economics  is nothing but an authoritarian way of distribution of economic resources and this is the concentration of inequality of economic endowments and resources against the masses which promotes authoritarianism against  the democracy.     Democracy is not only a political system. That is just a myopic solution to see democracy as a pure political system as envisaged by Margret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan during 1980s. They and after them most of the world leaders failed to unde...

A lot of talks are going on about  the World Inequality Report 2022. In the mean time from today the US is organizing and hosting first Summit for Democracy.

HOW TO IMPROVE HUMAN BEINGS. Only human beings are capable of innovations. Of all species human beings are the single one which are independent of natural evolution for their development. This is because of their cognitive capability which enables them to innovate. Since human capability of growth and development is not entirely a result of natural selection society in which a particular human being lives is instrumental for his or her growth and development. A society with closed idea and strict regulations for compliance prepare it's members for following the dictates of the powerful and such conformist population is averse to the idea of innovation and thus averse to the idea of being human being itself as if human beings have no capability for innovation they are nothing but like other animals of the planet. On the other side if a society promotes the idea of innovation and for this gives the members liberty to experiment different ideas these members get encouraged for finding...

DEMOCRACY IN INDIA HAS LOST HER MORAL PHILOSOPHICAL COVER Indian democracy in last some years has been stripped off her moral philosophical cover. Moral philosophy is the skin of democracy which protects democracy from various sorts of scratches and aberrations. But when this cover goes democracy's body is exposed to all sorts of external environment. When some sort of dictatorship has to take the place of democracy in guise of democracy herself that dictatorial theory first strip democracy of her moral values . Democracy is based on open discussion, opposition and respect for discontent. Although rules recognize majority's claim yet majority is bound to allow free flow of information , discussion, opposition and even discontentment to happen. Majority resolves the dilemma by resorting to discussion and pursuation and even gives concession to the discontent groups. This is the moral philosophical cover which is removed by a dictatorial regime so that people can't access to ...

Military power doesn't necessarily make a nation strong and happy place . Take China on one hand, a military superpower with a lot of discontent population reeling under the tyranny of political bosses. On the other hand there are Scandinavian countries with small military power but highly satisfied people with best quality of life in the world. Military power has neither assured the US nor Israel a peaceful life for their people. Lessons from history and present teach us make society more equitably prosperous. A nation of satisfied and prosperous people becomes strong in due course.

HOW DEMOCRACY IS POSSIBLE Whatever we discuss , whatever we do for electoral reforms are not going to strengthen democracy. Democracy is not all about holding free and fair elections because democracy is not limited to installation of a political party of popular choice in power.   Then what? Democracy is more concerned to equality and dignity and the dual goals of equality and dignity are ensured by the system of justice. But realization of justice is made possible by awareness of masses and awareness comes from knowledge and education. So if we desire to consolidate democracy in a society or a country we first need to make people aware, aware of the rights and duties,aware of the responsibilities of elite and powerful. This awareness comes from free flow of education which brings knowledge and information. Educational emancipation coupled with unhindered access to knowledge and information are the backbone with the help of  which democratic edifice is erected. Aware peo...

We have entered into new economic order and our understanding of economics must adapt these new changes and challenges. Our economics must  be skilled to face challanges posed by climate change, technological disruptions, pandemics and other diseases , racism , increasing inequality, meritocracy and concentration of wealth and resources, gaps in capabilities, and human dignity and freedom to  prosper . Traditional approach of looking at through the glasses of industry, agriculture, services and trade  is not going to help us much. Politics and society are going to alter the values and practices of economics. Focus on middle class will pauparise economics, so it will have to transcend beyond middle class to penetrate the real poor. Indices of GDP like things are losing their relivance. Economics will have to go beyond average numbers and mean numbers to absolute numbers.

POWER OF UNCERTAINTY Unpredictability of human beings is their greatest strength which makes them more intelligent. Doing a certain thing or a series of certain things in a certain way yield a certain result which if the same all where is termed as a theory. This theory is said to scientific. But the certainty of a theory makes the theory listless and prevents the progress or rather say evolution since the theory produces the same result in all practicals. But evolution can happen only when something deviates and only those things deviate which are capable of being unpredictable. This is characteristic to human being and this is still missing in a machine. As long as human beings enjoy the capacity of unpredictablilty and machines continue to be repetitive human beings will rule over technology and it's generator which is science. Whenever the reverse starts to happen in future science will start ruling human beings. 

भारतीय लोकतंत्र और निरंकुशता हम और हमारे नेतागण भारत के महान लोकतंत्र का गुण गाते नहीं अघाते हैं। भारतीय लोकतंत्र के चुनाव प्रणाली को हम सभी लोहा मानते हैं। सारी दुनिया में हम घूम घूम कर कहते हैं कि हमारी चुनाव प्रणाली अद्भुत रूप से साफ सुथरी है।   लेकिन क्या वास्तव में भारतीय लोकतंत्र की चुनाव व्यवस्था निष्पक्ष और साफ सुथरी है? यह सवाल आज और समीचीन हो गया है जब से हमने ये जाना है कि भारत का चुनाव आयोग सत्ताधारी दल के दबाव में काम कर रहा है। यह बात इस रस्योद्घाटन से भी जड़ जमाई है कि एक तत्कालीन चुनाव आयुक्त की जासूसी पेगासस सॉफ्टवेयर के माध्यम से कराई गई। लेकिन एक सवाल है कि क्या भारतीय चुनाव प्रणाली को इस सरकार ने ही पहली बार प्रदूषित किया है या यह एक लंबी प्रक्रिया का छोटा सा भाग भर है? क्या आज के विपक्षी दल जो कल सत्ता में थे उन्होंने ऐसा कोई घृणित कार्य नहीं किया था? भारतीय चुनाव व्यवस्था में भयंकर हिंसा, बाहुबल, और पैसे का बोलबाला क्या 1951 के पहले चुनाव से ही नहीं शुरू हो गया था? आज जो दल वर्तमान सरकार की करतूतों को गिना रहें हैं वे ही दल जब कल सत्ता में थे तो उन्होंने हिंसा,...

विकास की डेमोक्रेसी बनाम डेमोक्रेसी का विकास एक सवाल बार बार उठता है कि भारत में 1990 के दशक से प्रारम्भ हुई आर्थिक समृद्धि का दौर क्या अब जा चुका है? इस सवाल का जबाब हम सरकार की आर्थिक नीतियों में खोजते हैं और अपनी अपनी विचारधारा के अनुसार बाजार आधारित अर्थव्यवस्था का समर्थन और विरोध भी करते हैं। लेकिन भारत के आर्थिक विकास के विमर्श से जो विचार योग्य सबसे महत्वपूर्ण विषय हीं गायब रहता है वह है आर्थिक विकास के लिए आवश्यक सामाजिक बदलाव का विषय। भारतीय आर्थिक नीति ने आजादी के बाद से ही हर दौर में इस सबसे महत्वपूर्ण विचारणीय विषय से परहेज किया है, फिर चाहे वह तथाकथिक समाजवादी विचारधारा के बोलबाले का दौर रहा हो या बाज़ार अर्थव्यस्था का दौर।        जो बात सबसे जरूरी है समझनी वह यह है कि किसी भी देश का आर्थिक विकास उस देश के शिक्षा के विकास, स्वास्थ्य सुविधा के विकास, परिवहन, संचार और ऊर्जा स्रोतों के विकास और  भू सम्बन्धों और भूमि वितरण के स्वरूप में परिवर्तन और लैंगिक सम्मानता के विकास, नस्लीय/धार्मिक/जातीय समानता और गरिमा के विकाद  के समानुपातिक  ही होता ह...

    दैनिक असमानता के सवाल हर रोज हमें अपने शहर/गाँव में किसी न किसी कारण से घर से बाहर निकलना होता है। ऐसा सभी घरों में होता है चाहे वो अमीर हों या गरीब। लेकिन क्या शहर में निकलने पर इस अमीर-गरीब, ऊँच-नीच का भेदभाव खत्म हो जाता है?        एक बार फिर से याद कीजिये कि वोटिंग के दौरान सरकार बनाने में हर अमीर और हर गरीब के वोट का महत्व एक था लेकिन जो सरकार बनती है क्या वह भी हर अमीर और हर गरीब को सड़क पर समान सुविधा देती है ? या फिर सड़क पर चलते आदमी को अपनी अमीरी, अपनी गरीबी की हैसियत के अनुसार ही यात्रा करनी पड़ती है? क्या आपको लगता है पैदल, साईकल, रिक्शा, ऑटो, बस, कैब, लोकल, मेट्रो , निजी वाहन से चलने वाले अलग अलग लोग इन साधनों का उपयोग अपनी मर्जी से करते हैं या फिर अपनी आर्थिक हैसियत की बाध्यता के कारण करते हैं?क्या हमारे पास ऐसा पब्लिक ट्रांसपोर्ट सिस्टम होता है जिसका उपयोग सभी लोग बिना अपनी आर्थिक हैसियत से प्रभावित हुए कर सकते हों? क्या शहर के हर भाग में , चाहे वो गरीबों के मोहल्ले हों या अमीरों के या वीवीआईपी के सभी जगहों पर सड़क और नालों की सुविधा, उनकी गु...

हम सभी भेद भाव के इतने आदि हो चुके हैं कि छोटी छोटी बातों में डेमोक्रेसी की जरूरत है, ये समझ भी नहीं पाते हैं। आपने कभी गौर किया है कि सरकारें ही विषमता पैदा करती हैं? कभी आपने सोचा है कि जो पानी आपके जीवन के लिए अनिवार्य है, जो हवा आपके जीवन के लिए अनिवार्य है, जो धूप आपको जरूर मिलनी ही चाहिए,  उनकी साफ सफाई की क्या हालत होती गई है? कभी आपको लगा है कि साफ हवा , खिली धूप और साफ पानी पर जनता के रूप में जो आपका हक है उसमें एलीट और मासेस का, जातिगत विभेद का, वर्गीय असमानता का बोल बाला है? और ये सब क्यों है?       भूगर्भीय जल के बेतहाशा शोषण, जलाशयों की भारी कमी, जल स्त्रोतों का प्रदूषण, खतरनाक स्तर तक का वायु प्रदूषण, भयंकर रूप से बड़े स्लम, ये सब उन्हीं  के कारण हैं जिनपर इनको बचाने के नियम बनाने और लागू करने का जिम्मा है? साफ चमकदार धूप की भारत में कोई कमी तो नहीं है लेकिन क्या शहरों  के कबूतरखानों में ये उपलब्ध है, क्या भारी और खतरनाक वायुप्रदूषित शहरों में इसे पाने की उत्कंठा भी हो सकती है?       भारी भरकम, दुनिया भर की जानकारी से लैस नौ...

Just do TEST OF EQUALITY AND DIGNITY at the scales of-- 1.Health facilities 2.Hunger and nutrition 3.

Neither the masses nor the political parties nor the institutions are aware of the basic elements of democracy. Justice, Equality, Freedom & Dignity are fundamentals without which we can never have democracy. Holding elections, and delegating power to some political party without the understanding of relevance of the process is not democracy. Not a single political party educates the masses that elections are just a means of self rule and political parties are given the power to rule only on behalf of voters for ensuring them a self rule  , which means the political parties are duty bound to carry on the wishes of the people and not the wishes of majority of people. Similarity our education system and media have also failed us. The entire public  discourse has been divested of discussion of and demand for justice, equality,freedom and dignity. And this has not been happening for last 7 years only. Rather this has started way back in 1967 with the rise of Mrs Indira Gandhi....

Action through the mirror of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita If you have read the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita properly, then your thoughts regarding some things must be clear.  Some thinkers are of the opinion that Shrimad Bhagavad Gita is the mother of Indian indolence.  This is a sly notion which has been tried very hard to spread very neatly.  Karma Yoga has been at the heart of the entire Shrimad Bhagavad Gita.  Keep in mind that according to her period, there has been a lot of use of religious terminology in the language of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta.  But the meaning is clear. Among the two factors which have been described by Shrimad Bhagavad Gita as essential for the salvation of human life, the first is that salvation is not possible without doing action and the second is that salvation is not possible without giving up the worry of the fruits of action. And salvation must be construed in terms of final attainment of final goal of life. It's final purpose.    ...

श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता के आईने से कर्मशीलता अगर आपने श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता को ठीक से पढ़ा है तो कुछ बातों के सम्बंध में आपके विचार स्पष्ट होंगे । कुछ विचारकों का मत है कि श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता  भारतीय अकर्मण्यता की जननी है। ये एक धूर्त धारणा है जिसे बहुत ही करीने से फैलाने की पुरजोर कोशिश रही है। सम्पूर्ण श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता के केंद्र में कर्मयोग ही रहा है। ध्यान रहे कि अपने काल खंड के अनुरूप इसकी भाषा में धार्मिक शब्दावली का प्रचुर प्रयोग हुआ है। लेकिन भावार्थ स्पष्ट है। श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता ने मानव जीवन के मोक्ष के लिए जिन दो कारकों को अनिवार्य बताया है उनमें पहला है कि बिना कर्म किये मोक्ष सम्भव नही और  दूसरा है बिना कर्मफल की चिंता को त्यागे  मोक्ष सम्भव नहीं। मोक्ष को सिर्फ धार्मिक आध्यात्मिक रूप के अलावे भी समझना होगा।  मोक्ष को जीवन के अंतिम लक्ष्य की अंतिम प्राप्ति के संदर्भ में समझा जाना चाहिए।  यह अंतिम उद्देश्य है।       जो लोग श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता को अकर्मण्यता की जननी करार देते हैं उन्होंने बड़ी चालाकी से पहले शर्त को गायब कर दिया है और तब दूसरी शर्त की उलू...

A FEW REASONS WHY INDIA IS STILL LAGGING BEHIND 1. Ignored education system. 2. During initial years of independence no drive was made to make Indians educated and so Indian labour force is highly unskilled. 3. Brain drain 4. Ingnored health system 5. Less emphasis on adoption and spread of technology incentive industrialization. 6 .In initial years of independence  delay in investment in construction sector, only emphasis on heavy machinery industries, lack of consumer industries, lack of integration with global industrial giants. 7. No effort to improve the productivity of government owned Public Sector functioning and productivity. 8. Allowing overcrowding of Public Sector Enterprises. 9. No vision for creating productive employment in rural and urban areas. 10. No emphasis on industrialization of port areas beyond the existing capacity and physical infrastructure 11. Lack of alternative employment opportunities for rural areas. 12.  Lack of EASE OF DOUNG BUISNESS. 13. Diff...

Keeping agricultural labour in agriculture by means of schemes like MNREGA is a mistake. Agriculture has really no potential to cause growth after a certain limit. Further if agriculture is not supported by industrialization in neighbourhood , spread of skill oriented education , robust health system and a sense network of trade , it is not going to be productive even with much emphasis on labour intensive schemes in rural areas. Peace, cooperation  and freedom from bondage of traditional.practices and impetus to female education are other essential factors needed to industrialize the society. Dignified .Migration of labour force from less productive to high productive areas is  needed to ensure availability of labour force. After independence task of policy making was largely entrusted to generalist bureaucrats whose career prospects  were largely dependent on the will of Politician-Ministers which was a devastating mistake. Policy making should have been left to technoc...

    तत्काल करना ही होगा वर्ना                     पिछड़ते जाएँगे महामारी ने पूरी दुनिया में विज्ञान और प्रौद्योगिकी की सर्वोच्चता स्थापित कर दिया  है।  कोविड 19 ने तकनीकी परिदृश्य को हमेशा के लिए बदल दिया है।  डिजिटाइजेशन काफी लंबे समय से मौजूद है लेकिन महामारी ने हमारे आवागमन को सीमित कर दिया है।  हालाँकि शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, अर्थव्यवस्था आदि निर्बाध आवागमन  को फिर से शुरू करने के क्षण का इंतजार नहीं कर सकते।  यहां आईसीटी और डिजिटलीकरण हमारे बचाव के रूप में  है।  इन्होंने यह संभव कर दिया है कि बिना ज्यादा अवगमन  के भी हम महत्वपूर्ण मोर्चों पर काम कर सकते हैं।      लेकिन भारत जैसे देशों में सरकार के भारी समर्थन के बिना आईसीटी और डिजिटल प्रौद्योगिकी के मोर्चे पर प्रगति हासिल नहीं की जा सकती है।  लाभ के मकसद से प्रेरित बाजार की अपनी प्राथमिकताएं हैं और इसमें कुछ भी गलत नहीं है।  लेकिन सरकार की भूमिका बाजार द्वारा छोड़े गए अंतराल को भरने की है।  आईसीटी और...

            URGENT CALL Pandemic has established the supermacy of science and technology all over the world. Covid 19 has changed technological landscape for ever. Digitization has been present for a fairly long time but the pandemic has serverly restricted our movement . However education , health, economy etc can't wait the moment of restarting of movement. Here ICT &  digitization has come as our rescue. It has made possible that even without much movement we can deliver on critical fronts.     But progress on the front of ICT & digital technology can not achieved without  government's massive  support in countries like India. Market has its own priorities propelled by the motive of interest and there is nothing wrong with this. But the role of the government is to fill the gaps left by the market. The urgent requirement to shift to ICT & digitization at the quickest possible way had left a larger part of society bewi...

Agreement among various parties on an issue can't not necessarily be guarantee of fairness . We may agree but our agreement is not necessarily fair to us or right in the perspective of moral values. And that's why any agreed law passed by a parliament by the majority even  by consensus can't be said to be fair to those whom such laws applies. And so democracy alone can't be guarantee of fairness .          Then what ? Is it not a dangerous situation that even democracy can't guarantee fairness to all? And does  this proposition affect the prospect of democracy as the best available edition of governance? These questions require very careful examination to ensure we must have that form which is the best suited to our principle of fairness.      Even the most perfectly agreed  law or contract may not bind all people to whom this perfectly agreed law or contract applies to some sort of compulsory obligation. In a representative democra...

WHY DO WE LAG BEHIND? It's natural for us to understand for what we are paying too much in forms of widespread unrest in India over various issues. Almost without having a one day respite we have been noticing unrests in one or the other parts of the country. And the most unfortunate part is that all such unrest generating issues are brushed aside by the people in power and the majority of media  as political gimmicks played by the opposition only for ganing political mileage. A vast majority of people do believe in this sort of explanations as well. We need to understand this trend which is almost newer in Indian psyche. Among many things we may delve into some of the causes behind this prevailing Indian psyche.          We should  try to see how is our economic system working as this is te system which hits hardest and which has potential to create dissatisfaction and unrest. Like many other countries our economy is not doing well  and this has ...

We have to understand the present Anti Farm Laws Movement in light of following perspectives 1.Importance of land as the major source of livelihood 2. Lack of proper facilities for farmer community for getting trained in industrial and management skills to change the occupation 3.Lack of trust between farmer community and industrialists 4. Lack of trust in Government's promises and claims,  particularly experienced by the general publuc in Corona time when the Government ignored the genral public at the cost of industrial elites. 5. Fear about proposed agreement between unmatched parties, on the one hand billionaires and on the other hand farmers. 6.Fear of becoming worker in factories by losing proprietary right over land 7.Week safeguards in the Acts for the farmers which further deepens mistrust against the government in the minds of farmers. 8.No provisions for social net for meeting unseen hardships which the farmers may face in eventuality of loss. 9.Apprehension of economic ...

जनांदोलन सरकारी नहीं होते हैं                   हुज़ूर! जन आंदोलनों को कानून से तय नहीं किया जा सकता है। आंदोलन होते हीं हैं सरकारी रुख के खिलाफ तो भला सरकारी कानून कैसे इन आंदोलनों को सही ठहराएँगे? देश न तो सरकार से चलता है, न कोर्ट कचहरी से और न ही हाकिम हुकुम से। देश चलता है संविधान से। सभी , चाहे वो जनता हो, सरकार को, कार्यपालिका हो, विधायिका हो , न्यायपालिका हो , कोई भी संस्था हो सबका मालिक एक है और वो है संविधान। भला कानून और कानून के रखवाले कचहरी कैसे तय कर देंगे कि हमें किंस कानून का, सरकार के किंस कदम का , किस सरकारी फैसले का कितना और कैसे समर्थन या विरोध करना है? सरकारी तंत्र अधिक से अधिक हिंसा पर अपनी राय रख सकता है लेकिन वी भी सभी आंदोलनों पर समान रूप से नहीं लागू हो सकते। ये सामान्य समझ है कि आंदोलनों को कमजोर करना सरकारों की प्राथमिकता होती है । सबसे आसान तरीका होता है प्रायोजित हिंसा फैलाकर आंदोलनों को बदनाम कर उनको अवैध बता देना। आंदोलनकारी यदि हिंसक होते भी हैं तो वो सरकारी उकसावे या लापरवाही के कारण ही होते हैं। सो सिर्फ...

        WHY DO WE FALL -------------------------------------------  The following losses are caused to a person escaping from the performance of his duty.        According to our nature / quality, when we fail to discharge  our duties,  we are not able to move ahead from the present state of qualities, but fall below it. Decreasing divine wealth leads to an increase in demonic qualities, due to which we fall from a higher state of spiritual practice to a lower state.  For this reason our identity in this worldly/material set up is also affected.  The intelligence we are known for is eroded.  This fact applies to every person at every level of society.  A brief list of divine and demonic possessions is as follows- Divine quality  Fearlessness, purity of conscience, devotion to meditation, surrender of everything, control over the senses, non-violence, truthfulness, absence of anger, renunciation of the fruit ...

हमारा पतन क्यों होता है? किसी व्यक्ति के अपने कर्तव्य पालन से भागने के कारण निम्न हानि होते हैं--- अपने स्वभाव/गुण के अनुसार जो हमारे कर्तव्य हैं उनको हम गँवा देते हैं जिसके कारण गुणों की वर्तमान अवस्था से हम आगे नहीं बढ़ पाते, बल्कि उससे नीचे ही गिरते हैं। स्वभाव में। दैवी सम्पद कम होने से आसुरी गुणों में वृद्धि ही होती है जिसके कारण साधना की उच्च अवस्था से निम्न अवस्था में हमारी अवनति होती है।   इस कारण से सांसारिक/भौतिक रूप से हमारी पहचान भी प्रभावित होती है । हम जिस मेधा के लिए जाने जाते हैं उसका क्षरण होता है। ये तथ्य समाज के हर स्तर पर हर व्यक्ति के साथ लागू होता है। दैवी और आसुरी सम्पदाओं की संक्षिप्त सूची कुछ यूँ है-- दैवी गुण अभयता,अन्तःकरण की शुद्धता, ध्यान में लगन, सर्वस्व का समर्पण, इन्द्रियों पर नियंत्रण, अहिंसा, सत्य, क्रोध का न होना,कर्मफल का त्याग , चित्त की चंचलता का अभाव, सभी के प्रति दयाभाव, अनासक्ति, कोमलता, लक्ष्य के प्रति समर्पण, व्यर्थ की चेष्टा का अभाव, क्षमा, तेज, शत्रुभाव का अभाव, लालच का अभाव, पूजे जाने की भावना का अभाव, मान अपमान के भाव का अभाव इत्य...

  END COERCION BRING FREEDOM When we talk about freedom we must first understand limitations and define freedom in the sense of degree of absence of limitations.         Limitations are really coercion of natural. The state of absolute absence of limitations is the state of absolute freedom. If we adopt this method of scaling we can determine  the degree of freedom  individuals, communities , bigger societies, countries and the world  enjoyed. And it also helps in understanding the sources of limitations. Limitations are imposed by all entities like the world, the nature, the country, the state, the government, the society, the community and even by the individual upon himself or herself. These are the players who put limitations on freedom and  each player has her own tools to enforce limitations , some of which are formal in codified form and some are in informal forms , just carried by practices, and customs invisibly.  Some limi...

Dedemocratization is effected by  demodernization   Rise and spread of democracy was not a handwork of any politician. Rather democracy could take birth due to changes caused by changes in technology of production and resultant  changes in economy. When feudalism was falling due to rise of trade, technology and industry politics had no other choice but to widen it's fold to accommodate more and more people and consequently democracy could happen. In the later part of history when politics took refuse to traditional sentiments of identity just to make itself resistant to democracy it adopted authoritarian style. Rise of democracy was detrimental to the interests of parochial elites who since could not avert the spread of democracy by any political philosophy tried to manipulate democracy by means of sentimental appeal. Such elites in place of economic reasoning advanced sentiments of identity crisis in name of nationalism and religion . That's why when democracy started sp...

#abetterplace.                                 KNOWLEDGE IS DYNAMIC WHEN THINKING IS FREE knowledge is dynamic. Every society has contributed in developing knowledge from her own experiences and migration of people and ideas has made the spread  of knowledge possible. But only that society can be benefitted by this vast repository of knowledge which is open to accept this spread. A closed , introvert society which considers herself self sufficient in knowledge loses the chance to be benefitted. It's possible that at one particular point of time that society might have great knowledge but with waning  strength of that society , she lost her progress of knowledge and other societies could register more progress in the mean time. If the erstwhile knowledgeable society continues to be satisfied with her old knowledge that society is bound to lose the present race. Knowledge is never static, it's a...
