QUESTIONS ABOUT MY WORLD!!

Recently i found one person whose first remark to me was, " how many Pakistani pigs screwed your mother that you were born." this remark was due to my comment on Modi that he is responsible for the genocide in Gujarat in 2002.

though hurt i didn't respond rashly. Most of our countrymen , blinded by some philosophy or the other become intolerant and non logical in their thinking . this leads to blind following of others which is the root cause of most of the problems facing our country today. what is required is a logical discussion with facts and figures . In the words of Gautam Buddha " Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. "

One should always judge his environment with an open mind. As Shaheed Bhagat Singh said,"Criticism and independent thinking are the two indispensable qualities of a revolutionary".

well finally the above said person started a logical discussion with me and what followed was a serious of questions by him and some answers by me. Most of these answers are my views which i have assimilated from books and sites . I have given the links at some places and have forgotten also at many places.

So the Q&A are:

Q1 Do you believe in the concept of nation or do you believe that universal brotherhood comes before nation? If yes, do you believe in the concept on nationalism and anti-nationalism?


1.) Nations did not exist since ages or in other words, nations kept forming and changing. For eg. , India under Mauryas was different from that of Guptas, Mughals and what it is today!

The main use of nation is to unite people in it, so that they can help each other economically. They can bring a common defence against an “outsider”. Till the time it is to protect urself against external dangers, to develop militarily and economically as a nation, it is a boon. However the ultimate aim of mankind is to develop the entire world, as all human beings are equal. Thus after human nationalism comes the stage of universal brotherhood, basically a world, where no one exploits each other and lives peacefully. Till there are “enemy “countries, we need to have nationalism, to protect good against evil and till that time nationalism is a boon.

But there are people and time, when to gain personal power; they exploit the feeling of nationalism. At this stage, they use nationalism as a tool to create fanaticism and in this the evil overpowers good. Under its influence, while the nation bleeds from inside, its leader show the cause outside – a hypothetical enemy which they held responsible for all the problems in the world. Hitler used it to gain power and kill millions in the world. This nationalism is a bane as it leads to loss of logic and reasoning.

Nationalism ... is like cheap alcohol. First it makes you drunk, then it makes you blind, then it kills you. ------------Dan Fried

Exactly this thing happened in Germany prior to WW II.


Q2 2) You said you admire Gandhi not for his ideology but for his leadership qualities.I don't buy that.If that is so you should address Hitler also as Hitlerji,after all he also displayed remarkable leadership qualities.So kindly clear my confusion


2.) I answered your this doubt earlier also. Gandhiji was a cunning man while Hitler was mad. Gandhiji did have a positive influence also in the history of India. His non-cooperation movement created a stir in India and produced many patriots. He raised his voice against various evils of the society and had a positive influence in various spheres. He never directly influenced others to kill fellow human beings. His means were good, but his end was bad. He was selfish for power and prestige and was fully aware that his means will not produce good results for India. But being an easier route which can fulfill his dreams, without ever facing a direct threat from British, he jeopardized India’s real freedom.

As far as I am aware, Hitler came to forefront to stop growth of communism and the easiest way to do it was to develop pseudo nationalism. To continuously feed it, he had to have some enemy, and this he produced by attacking each and every country and by killing fellow countrymen. He was a mad person.



Q 3) What is you definition of 'traitor'? In your opinion someone responsible for the unity and integrity of the country can also be a traitor? If yes,how?

3.) In my view, “Traitor” is a person who works against humanity. Thus, I may have a pro- Indian person who is exploiting the men of India as a traitor. Similarly I may have an anti-India person working for humanity, not at all traitor. For me, humanity is bigger than nationalism. Thus if tomorrow India attacks at Maldives and make sits own territory, I will oppose it. If someone is killing innocent people in the name of unity of country, in my view, he is a traitor.



Q4) What is your definition of 'development'? I am asking in terms of governance and administration.

4.) Now this is my fav question,

My development definition is in stages. The first stage is education, healthcare, food, living and sanitation for every citizen, which will be followed by research, scientific and medical development. I don’t see present development as true development, because it the development of services and consumer goods for the lavish living of “few”. While it oppresses the millions living next to it. For more about the economic part of it, my blog link-

Coming to governance and administration the present system (which includes your legislature, executive and judiciary) works for the rich and powerful. The police are used to give protection to netas and rich. Any opposition by the poor is crushed by this police. System is to throw people out of their land, as happening in all “development projects”, without giving proper compensation. All policies are against farmers and pro rich. In terms of labor reforms – rich are given free license to exploit labor.
True development is a system in which true definition of democracy is followed. All are treated equal. No minister’s son can walk free after raping daughter of a German in Goa, and no chief Minister can dream to become Prime Minister after being responsible for genocide.

Q5) What are your parameters to judge the performance of any government in our current parliamentary system?

To tell you the truth, I consider our current parliamentary system, as the root cause of all the problems. It’s a pseudo – democracy, which works for the protection of assets of rich and exploits the poor. Due to this system only parties raise the unworthy issues of communalism, reservation, state division, cheap food grains and never work for the true development – the eradication of poverty and education and food for all! False hopes are given; fake programs are launched and behind them only policies are made which derail these programs. This is the reason the performance of all political parties from BJP /SP/BSP/ CPI to Congress is same, as none of them is actually interested in the true development of country!!


Still if you ask me to choose between the worse good, I will say any government which works for the upliftment of people, is doing a remarkable job. GDP growth rate, India shining, India emerging super power is all fake. Definitely the rich of our country are developing like anything, but the poor are going down further.

Q6) You seem to have a problem with 'killers',thats strange,you being a Bhagat Singh fan. You think killing is a crime,no matter who is killed and whatever be the objective? Or can killing ever be right? I understand,killing is always illegal,I am talking about right and wrong.If someone kills Modi tomorrow,would you not justify that?

Violence is like fire- when used for right purpose and under control its an efficient assest, the moment you loose control or use it for some wrong purpose , it leads to self destruction.

Bhagat Singh was wrongly projected as a terrorist mainly by the congress govt in independent India. he regretted the inefficient violent methods he used in his early years. In his words , violence should be the last resort in the struggle of freedom and equality. That doesn’t means he opposed violence but favoured its use for right purpose.

As per Gita, violence when not used for selfish purpose, but in self defence or for betterment of society, is justified. But we have to careful for what purpose it is used. Like use of violence by Islamic terrorists and Hindu fundamentalists group is used as a first tool, against someone weaker than them and for a wrong cause. But when used as a tool against stronger enemy, against his oppression, it is fully justified- because it is used for self defence.

So there is the simple rule: never use violence against someone weaker than you, and don’t hesitate to use it against suppression from someone stronger than you!

If someone kills Modi tomorrow, I will not justify it. Because I am against his ideology, not his personality. He should definitely be punished for genocide.




Q 7) Briefly describe Mohammed Ali Jinnah and B.R.Ambedkar to me just as you described Gandhi,Patel and Modi

Frankly telling you . I don’t have much idea about these people as they have not done anything great for India. They both were the product of western education and thus in a way or another supported British rule.

Jinnah was a rational person earlier , and he opposed the fundamental ideas of Muslim League, but later may be he became power thirsty or he actually felt that Muslim cannot progress under Congress rule. Anyways he supported the idea of Pakistan, which I feel was his biggest mistake.

Ambedkar , belongs to the class of few Indians whom British rule actually helped. Since Britishers used to differentiate based on race and were more interested in dividing Indians based on religion , few dalits got some upliftment. Ambedkar realized the fake propaganda of Gandhiji, for the upliftment of Harijans and thus rightly opposed him. He was loyal to the Britishers directly or indirectly. He understood that even in Independent India, dalits would suffer, and that is actually the case today.




Q8) I would like to know your views on Rajiv Gandhi and PV Narasimha Rao as well,briefly,I mean you have positive,negative or mixed views about them.

8.) Well both of them belonged to the same cheap class of politicians as other leaders of our great country from Nehru to Advani. Both had just 1 motive to retain power at any cost, earn a lot of money and work for the capitalist. Rajiv Gandhi suffered at Lanka due to the policies of his mother. He was an average person, but was not much interested in India’s actual progress. Continued communal politics to get minority vote, Bofors scandal and kept taking international laons so that one day Indian economy would be on verge of collapse and then IMF can has its way.

PV Narasimha Rao was same , bribed JMM , made lot of money, financially deregulated Indian economy to favour the rich and exploit the poor even more. He was also equally communal, who even let Babri Masjid fall, and so that he can later project himself to be the messiah of Muslims. But actually he was the messiah of only 1 class- the rich Indian capitalists.




Q 9) you have accused major political parties in our country of dividing the people. Can you elaborate a bit? I am particularly interested in knowing how Congress and BJP two main political parties today are filling their pockets and dividing people.

9. Nehru was a great intellectual who knew what was good and what was bad for India. But he suffered from a problem – to much thirst for popularity and power. He knew the congress policies are not going to take India very much ahead , at the same time he was scared of the revolutionary ways of Bhagat Singh- because that would have placed him in direct confrontation with British. So he took a mid-course which could guarantee his personal safety as well as would pave a way to make him a national leader.

He continued with his this “dil-dol” policy in the name of mixed economy. He knew it would be good for him to work in the interests of Indian capitalists, at the same time make some mild families which would keep the hope of people alive that a change would come one day.

But since he knew that his policies would not end poverty and exploitation, there should be some way to keep his electoral vote bank intact, even when people realize their poverty is not going to end. So he continued with Britishers favourite policy of “Divide and Rule”. For this his policies ensured that communal riots continue, Muslims remain alienated and undeveloped. Basically they should suffer and find their hope in Congress! Hindus were mostly pro-Congress as they believed Pakistan was for Muslims and India for Hindus.

Congress continued with this policy and every time before elections it would do some showoff to show itself as the saviors of Muslim. It kept the fear of alienation alive in Muslims and exploited this fear to gain vote bank. Not to mention, it was never interested in actual Muslim development rather ensured that they remain underdeveloped.
Another classic example of this divide and rule was Indira Gandhis support to Bhindarwale against SGPC. However it back fired and took the life of Indira Gandhi.I think there is no need to convince you that these leaders left no stone unturned to make good money for themselves and their parties. To quote a few are, nationalization of loss making private banks. Bofors scandal and there will be millions of them, away from the eye of public.

However, this policy of minority appeasement without doing anything constructive for them backfired on congress. The seeds of communal disharmony which they had sown were reaped by BJP. While Congress was banking on Muslim appeasement, BJP raised a new bogus fear- Hinduism is in danger! They started with babri Masjid episode – and most of the people (including me) thought this is a true national party, which actually wants the development of India! The riots after babri Masjid episode and then frowing Islamic terrorism proved a remarkable opportunity for BJP – the growth of fear in Hindus- their religion is in danger and thus secure your vote bank. Thus came the great BJP to power- bringing hopes to millions. But unlike, fascist of Germany, BJP was impatient, instead of consolidating their power, they started looting the national treasury, same way what Congress was doing! Obviously they had nothing to do with the actual growth of Hinduism. No wonder policy of Swaraj was immediately drooped and contracts were signed with US MNCs. To remind you, these US MNCs pose a greater danger to Hindu culture than any of the Islamic threat!

I hope there is no need to remind you, the way national secretary of BJP – Bangaru Laxman was caught taking bribes. They way coffins of our soldiers were sold, while they were giving their lives in war! The prices of Onion!!

To tell you frankly, all these political parties are together behind the camera. They have a pact we will shout and abuse each other in public but will not do anything to each other behind the scenes! Have you ever wondered, why BJP let Quaatrochi go freely, though it had the opportunity to expose Rajiv Gandhi in bofors scandal. Why no action was taken against Advani in Hawala case, against Lalu in Chara Ghotala, against Mayawati in Taj corridor, against George Fernanades in Bofors and Kargil coffins case. Because they all are nude together in bathroom, brother in arms to make money by publicly abusing each other , then laughing behind the curtain- see how we fooled the public in the name of God, caste , religion, race , sexuality but no one gives a corruption free government which brings development and reduces poverty!
