Musings.......

Hindu Mahasabha decides to pay tribute to Nathuram Vinayak Godse by commemorating his hanging as Balidan Divas.  The same Godse who famously took away the light from our lives when he pulled the trigger on the Father of our Nation. 
My head hangs in shame to be sharing nationality with these communal Sanghi freaks. 
Such calculated moves with full fledged support from the central government has the power to grow into something which can threaten even the foundations of ideals with which this nation was built. 
It is high time the civil society raises its voice against such dangerous precedents in every way possible....or else the doomsday is not far away. 

Food for thought........

  3rd April 2022 Musings……. SriLanka Burning  What can gross mismanagement of the economy give you ? Well the answer is Sri Lanka.  Once upon a time, this island nation was considered a budding tourist destination with a vibrant democracy. All this seems to have changed for the worse within a few years.   Sri Lanka’s history as we all know has been a chequered one.    There was long years of civil war between the Singhalese speaking Government and the Tamil speaking LTTE in broadly speaking terms.  The centre and southern part of Sri Lanka is predominantly Singhalese speaking natives who form the majority and hold power in every government. The Tamil speaking minority is restricted to the North of Sri Lanka including in the district of Jaffna, and form the minority.  This internal strife lasted for years and there seemed no respite. We Indians can never forget this as we lost one of our most    dynamic Prime Ministers Shri. Rajiv Ga...

Musings....... I thought I had done justice to the 2019 protests through my previous Musings. Later I realised my folly that I had just touched the tip of the Iceberg.  In fact the seemingly small protests had snowballed into huge protests with its geographical extent extending into both hemispheres. Now it’s been dubbed the Global Protest Wave of 2019 !!  Confining myself to Latin America in my last article was a deliberate attempt to highlight the ply of the people in a hitherto lesser known part of the world. However, I now realise I have opened up a Pandora’s box and would not do justice without writing about protests elsewhere.   ASIA  Hong Kong  The 2019 Hong Kong extradition bill was seen as a threat to Hong Kong’s autonomy from the People’s Republic of China. These protests of the people were similar to the Occupy Hong Kong Protests of 2011 and the Umbrella movement of 2014 where the protesters were mainly fighting for social and economic...

  Musings....... The US Presidential election 2020 will be forever remembered as the Pandemic Election.  The elections held on November 4th was one of the most crucial election for the United States of America as well as for the world.  The leader of the so called free world was battling to hold on to the position. The result would have determined whether it remains or chose to uphold Nativism and Nationalism over Globalism.  The elections were for the 538 Electoral votes in which the candidate securing 270 would win the Presidency.  Two party Presidential system of Government in US meant the fight was between the Democrats and the incumbent Republicans.  Easily remembered as the party of Bill Clinton, the Democratic ticket went to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for President and VP respectively.  Remembered easily as the party of the Bushes or Ronald Reagan, the Republican ticket was the incumbent Donald Trump and Mike Pence.  In a dramatic reversal...
