development..... Really?

All of us are familiar with the many different forms of oppression. We have at one point of time been victims as well as perpetrators of this action. ….Dictionaries defines the word as “to dominate harshly” or “to inflict stress upon”……
Truly this is the only original trait that we HUMANKIND have retained after all these years of our so called human civilization. This barbaric trait has been responsible many evils in our world and it’s recently that I came to gain an experience that enlightened me of my IGNORANCE of reality…..

We in India are a very boastful sect… indeed with a culture as rich as ours we are the best symbols of progressive development of civilizations….. With foreign investment pouring in and globalization reaching out there are probably very few who would deny or contradict the statement that “Our country is developing GR8.” To add to this joyful burden is the prediction known as BRIC ……….
All things said and done lets just look into this whole “development “with a magnifying glass….. Alas what an illusion….we are developing… we are gaining, but wait we are only a pocketful who are developing…there are huge blotches of under development, inequality, disparity……
There no greater crime than ignorance and I strongly feel we are rooted with a mechanical way to think and act as to avoid the strains of thinking and acting against the REALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a carefully monitored, engineered and well executed defect within us.
We tread unaware , unknown a journey in which we crush the lives of many others.... We take for granted the reality that surrounds us and live within this glass house unheeded to the actualities existing........
Sad to say that we have very little to boast as "development" and even fewer as its beneficiary.....
Today's Globalisation is nothing more than modern day Imperialism.....

"As long as imperialism exists, it will, by definition, exert its domination over other countries. Today that domination is called neocolonialism. "

THE DEBATE WHICH IS ON.....

I may receive much criticism for the posting that follows. I strictly base this writing on what I consider is my understanding of the subject; what I have witnessed from my briefest of contact with real rural India and which I have debated with myself a million times. 33% reservation for women!!!!!!!! This has been taken up as the call of the hour the need of our times……I say why not….. QUESTION: Women have always wanted EQUALITY in our society; so why now this 33% reservation………. THE REALITY: EQUALITY has for long been the passion of women’s movement worldwide; just like other how everyone who is socially conscious longs for peaceful, just, equal world. But is this so in the real context. What we long for needs time for achievement. But progressive aspects like “EQUALITY” happen only when De Jure and De Facto fall on similar planes ………… In reality women lack equal footing in many cases, this 33% would be a boost towards achieving a push forward. Also women Panchayat leaders are looki

Carnage

Untimely events shape the outcome of many circumstances. These events can alter the setting of any entity. The constant splatter of raindrops seemed as an intruder in the otherwise quite graveyard. The shower seemed to challenge the stillness of the graveyard with its thunder and lighting. These events however made no difference to the lone man standing by the freshly marked grave. The grave served as nothing more than a door unlocking the innocent dreams of the past.......... The shrieks of joy served to create an electrifying atmosphere in the playground. This joyous kingdom of innocence is probably the only place where celebration of life never ceased. Waqar trudged along the muddy path towards the playground. Following him Aaliya walked hurriedly to keep pace with him. On reaching the playground Waqar searched for his closest buddy, Padma. Padma on seeing them, rushed to join her buddies. The trio basically inseparable joined the other children in the game of hide and seek. A bolt

Mourning for our media

Rape, Murder, Molestations, Harassment's….have become a part of daily life but still we purposefully avoid the seriousness of issues. And this is well recognized and projected effectively by our loyal consumerism promoting Fourth Estate (who by the way follow point-blank guidelines set by the elite and socially powerful individuals) In fact they even go to an extent of justifying their media content by labeling themselves as “Infotainment Channels” and not merely the clear cut/ straightforward “News Channels”. You see “News Channels” need to have a political stand on issues, They have to be a responsible media, They have be mirrors of our society, They need focus to be the “change elements”……………. Unfortunately this is asking for too much from our celebrity crazed, advertisement dependent, TRP bound News …uhm.. Sorry Infotainment channels. The numerous problems of evictions, displacements and lopsided development projects do not find their place in today’s media: Instead celebrity w
